Amir Locke was shot in bed by police for the crime of being startled and confused when people suddenly charged into his room. Police created the deadly situation. His killers must be brought to justice. End no-knock warrants. End qualified immunity. End militarization of police.

Whenever war breaks out, emotions are extremely high, as are nationalism and tribalism. Especially at the start, there typically is lockstep unity among political/media elites. There's thus no point in using social media to do anything but read from that script. Chomsky on TV:

Here's the second part where Chomsky -- 30 years ago -- explained why the constricting structure of television (requiring "concision": the demand to make all points in 5 minutes between commercials) precludes conventional wisdom from being challenged. Social media is even worse:

Media has done an atrocious job educating the public on this. No fly zone is world war 3, direct military confrontation between 2 nuclear powers. This is psychopathic

No member of Congress—no person—can read, understand, and analyze 2,741 pages and $1.5 trillion in spending in just a few hours. Voting for such a thing is beyond irresponsible. To do so is to place your political ambitions above your responsibility to the people you represent.

It has now been more than six years since any member of Congress has been allowed to offer an amendment from the floor of the House of Representatives. The person you elect has almost no power to represent you. This is an oligarchy masquerading as a representative government.

Meet Chase Oliver — the 37-year-old libertarian who just scored 2% of Georgia’s Senate vote. That margin helped ensure that neither Herschel Walker nor Raphael Warnock got more than 50% necessary to avoid a runoff.

Billions upon billions for Ukraine, not much for Maui. Like Afghanistan before it, Ukraine $ is a black hole for the powers that be to launder us tax money for their benefit and to hollow out the wallets of regular Americans while claiming its for "freedom"

When will people figure out that the US federal govt always always has infinite money for war but never enough money to help the people it supposedly represents. They are fronts for professional thieves engaged in a perpetual wealth transfer from us to them.
