i still cannot get it out of my head that a police officer pointed a gun and screamed "get on the ground" repeatedly when faced with a young man burning alive. its been like 12h since i saw the video and it keeps coming back to me. you literally could not ever make this up

if someone wrote this scene as a political metaphor ppl would roll their eyes, as if as if as if. and it just happened. the arm of the state that holds a gun knows nothing but killing even when faced with death itself

It’s not nearly enough, but it’s about damn time.

I interrupt the usual program to alert you current events that will potentially upend the internet and make life less safe for many people (definitely in the US, and possibly in other nations as well).

You may have heard of KOSA. But in case you have not, it is a bill that is supposed to ‘keep children safe’ by regulations what is seen and isn’t seen on the internet. It will not work out like that, I’m telling you. The bill will be used and abused by those who want to clamp down on free speech. Bad news, and especially for those in Palestine, Ukraine, and for members of the LGBTQ community, opposition parties, and other marginalized groups.

Also, several high profile cases are to be heard by the Supreme Court, regarding whether states can censor what appears on the internet. Considering some of the other recent rulings, I’m not that hopeful that they will reach a sensible decision.

Please do what you can to let DC know that we will not take this lying down. There are petitions you can sign right now. Call and letter your congressmen. Spread the word; share with your family, friends, associates, and mutuals. Make as big a deal of this as you can. And seeing as this is an election year, get registered and vote if you are eligible. Democracy and our freedoms only exist if you participate. Sitting out is not an option. (Am willing to continue this discussion in the comments if you behave yourselves. Trolls, bigots, and threats will result in me using the ban hammer.)

“Suicidal five year olds” is honestly one of the most bleakly depressing things I have ever heard in my life.
