CW: Attribution & Kent State photo
Folks have posted this photo today without #attribution
"Recognize this photograph? It shows 14-year-old Mary Ann Vecchio screaming and kneeling over the body of 20-year-old Jeffrey Miller, shot during the Kent State Massacre. Kent State photojournalism student John Paul Filo — just 22-years-old at the time — captured the image, and was later awarded the 1971 Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography."

CW: U.S. Politics, Minnesota

From someone on the ground in Minnesota, a thread on how to face what's happening in the U.S.
"the choice is ourselves or nothing"
If you ever asked yourself what you'd have done in the face of the Nazi state and the persecution of Jewish people therein, this is the time to find the true answer.
Every person helping their neighbors--however they do--is heroic in their own way.

"It is clear that #borderRegimes—state institutions designated with the sole authority to deport and restrict entry—have today become a central mechanism for white supremacist worldmaking. What set of forces gave rise to these regimes, though, and how did they attain such wide-reaching, brutal strength? There is no shortage of historical antecedents." - #RobynMaynard

'The cards found last month in Eagle County harken back to that brutal heritage. They were the same general size and shape as those shoved into the mouths of dead Vietnamese: black and white 4×6-inch cards with an “A” over a spade in their top left and bottom right corners. A larger ornate black-and-white spade dominates the center of the card. Above it is the phrase “#ICE Denver Field Office.” '

“They voted for #impunity for themselves & #authoritarian #brutality directed at everyone they hated. Lesbian feminist bitches, dirty job-stealing immigrants, evil perverted trannies, on & on & on,” Katherine Alejandra Cross writes of Trump’s implicit bargain in *Liberal Currents*. “The brutality of #StateViolence was supposed to only ever be directed at their ideological foes. And in exchange, the #Trump voter would never again have to live with the mortifying ordeal of #responsibility.”
