NYC's mayor just told us to turn off our air conditioners. The brands of Times Square are still blazing and consuming. These are screenshots of live webcams taken just now.
Unidentified stormtroopers. Unmarked cars. Kidnapping protesters and causing severe injuries in response to graffiti.
These are not the actions of a democratic republic.

’s actions in Portland undermine its mission.
Trump & his stormtroopers must be stopped.
This is so crazy. I can't stop thinking about this.
If the power really went out, how did it do so in a staggered way? The overhead lights went out, and then camera production lights, and then you hear the pop of the PA being shut off.
For real every Capitalist that sees this is saying "attaboy."
This is the result of a super deliberate and super successful propaganda campaign that has been at work basically since the great depression. It's so perfect. It does everything.
And it's so intensely obvious that they'll try to increase the age of retirement. PLUS the life expectancy is dropping. PLUS it's so clear that MOST people can't make ends meet on Social Security alone and that's IF you paid into it. PLUS you have to buy supplemental Medicare.
Regardless of the Chauvin murder trial verdict, what should tell you everything about our legal system is that it killed a black man in a single short interaction and allowed a white officer due process for over a year.
Makes hard work a virtue. Creates intraclass competition. Makes moral distinctions between active workers and the reserve army of labor. Stifles class solidarity.
America made itself a sublime vessel for converting worker pain into Capital's gain.
This does not make sense at all.
The first and second largest American milk producers have filed for bankruptcy in the last two months.

This may end up being a thread.
Anyone else feeling the stress and bleakness that COVID is once again spreading rapidly, completely uncontrolled, and the President and party leaders are completely unwilling to do anything to materially change our lives?
Whether or not you want to acknowledge it, police organizations around the country are becoming political activists.
By all rights this shouldn't have made front-page CNN but they made sure it did.
I understand the instincts of scientists who don’t want to appear political. But make no mistake: the decision not to speak is a political decision.
