shockingly people are capable of simultaneously,

1. Hating their government

2. Hating the people who bomb and sanction their country, making regular life impossible and murdering members of their family, even more

no war no borders no cops no prisons no to all of this shit

The US and Israel are bombing Iran. Anyone reporting it as “preventive” is engaging in propaganda, by definition. There is no interpretation of what’s happening as anything else than a crime.

You don’t have to like the Iranian regime to understand why this is bad.

the “everyone is 12” theory strikes again

fuck the american empire and all the bootlickers who support their wars

The scandal involving Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) keeps getting worse. The Texas lawmaker is alleged to have had an affair with a congressional staffer who later ended her life by self-immolation. Newly released text messages show the Republican lawmaker repeatedly pressured the staffer to send him explicit photos. In more normal times, Gonzales's behavior would prompt a swift resignation and condemnatory statements from party leadership. But the Republican majority in the House is in dire straits: With the balance of power in the chamber resting at 218-214, the GOP can afford only two defections? with full attendance before they lose their ability to pass legislation. House Speaker Mike Johnson knows all about the hazards of his shrunken majority; it's a problem he's at grips with week in and week out. It's only natural, then, that he would be reluctant to do anything that could further shrink his majority. In the Capitol Monday, Johnson made a very high-minded-sounding statement to a gaggle of reporters that he wants the investigations into Gonzales to play out before making any kind of judgment.

MEDIA ADVISORY: (2/25, 9AM) Grassroots Coalition to Rally and Testify Against Anti-Protest Bills at City Hall WHAT: New York City organizations will be holding a rally and press conference prior to City Council's "Committee to Combat Hate" hearing. The groups oppose proposed bills that would ban protests near places of religious worship and buildings affiliated with educational facilities. These anti-protest bills are intended to suppress dissent on campuses and against illegal sales of stolen Palestinian land, but they would impact protests and speech rights much more broadly. WHO: Over forty local organizations and their allies from Palestine solidarity and antiwar activists to reproductive rights, civil liberties, Jewish organizations, students, and labor unions. WHEN: Wednesday, February 25 @ 9 AM WHERE: City Hall Steps

WHY: In January, City Council Speaker Menin proposed bill 001-2026, followed by Councilmember Dinowitz's proposed bill 175-2026, which would task the NYPD Commissioner with creating buffer zones blocking protests around places of religious worship and buildings affiliated with educational institutions. The proposals come after Gov. Kathy Hochul included language in the Executive Budget to establish 25-foot buffer zones around religious institutions and healthcare facilities. If passed, the bills would greatly limit the areas available for demonstrations, given the density of places of worship and educational institutions, thereby severely undermining the free speech rights of New Yorkers. Grassroots organizations at the rally are demanding that city and state officials reject proposed buffer zones around healthcare facilities, places of worship, and educational facilities, and take tangible steps to stop the sale of stolen Palestinian land in New York, in violation of state and federal fair housing and civil rights acts and international law.

A coalition of +40 organizations are mobilizing tomorrow morning against proposed legislation in NYC Council to create protest “buffer zones” that activists and legal scholars say will stifle and criminalize protest and seems focused on stopping pro-Palestine demos against illegal land sale events.

The floor plan for the planned ICE concentration camp in Social Circle, Georgia:

Huge news today out of Mexico. CJNG combatants are responding with narcobloqueos in Puerto Vallarta and seemingly a raid at the Guadalajara airport. Ramifications could be significant.

Renee Good memorial site in south Minneapolis doused in gasoline Damage from a burning pile of wood was minimal but police are investigating.

Just awful. People (like Ryan mentioned in the article, who is living out of his van) have been staying awake all night for weeks keeping watch over the memorial for this exact reason.

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

abolition is abolition is abolition. it is not reform. it is not bodycams. you’ve seen these offerings before & how they solely function to curtail a burgeoning movement of highly motivated people getting organized.

build from lessons of the past, don’t disparage them to neutralize yourself.

how many times fascists purged the conservatives after taking power? All of them. Every single time. And here's the part that breaks your heart. Violence works. For them. Fascists use violence while claiming to be victims. They create chaos that "requires" their authoritarian solution. 2/3
