I've just found out that to continue writing to an incarcerated person in Iowa, I now have to send letters to a third party corporation who will open my letters, scan them, destroy them, then make copies and send them on to the actual recipient. I don't really have words.
This discourse in this thread is wild. Of course ratm is pro human rights. I feel like 90 percent of these people know the same 5 songs from their discography and are still trying to work out what the lyrics "some of those who work forces" means.
@peterdaou Watching you political shift was one of the most interesting things I have observed on Twitter. Thank you for using your platform and power to help reach even more people. I just hope more people begin to listen, and soon.
Remembering when cops in Minneapolis fired “less-lethal” weapons at random people from unmarked vans without identifying themselves or giving warnings.
@marytf5 @wecoalesce @williamlegate @jstrandt @lauferlaw Try translating this argument to sit ins during the Civil rights movement and ask yourself if you are worried about those protests being unseemly. I hope this tactic takes off and literally hundreds of business go bankrupt for shitty hot takes.

Earth’s climate is giving air fryer. A plague kills thousands daily and bosses still asked folks to risk death for their check. Six people decided a uterus was state property. Gas is higher than Whole Foods almond milk. But your political anger is reserved for trans people?

'Still waiting for details, but there may have been up to 50 arrests tonight in Akron, including every member of the Walker family that was there. Apparently, according to people on the ground, the riot cops moved in before curfew and (1/3)
Folks across the political spectrum keep trying to make trans identity a scapegoat for the compounding catastrophes of structural whiteness. Incredible. 1/
🧵Six things liberal institutions (the press, govt and non-profits) are doing to facilitate fascism: a thread
1. Copaganda
2. Protecting institutions
3. Cancel culture hysteria
4. Transphobia
5. Normalizing mass sickness & death
6. Normalizing an end to safe abortion
One awful aspect of life post-Roe is how many medical providers, non-profits and even liberal politicians in “blue” states are caving. They’re willingly accepting the most extreme aspect of any one state’s law. They’re unwilling to say “make me” or to resist—they’re just caving.
