Yep, sure looking like the shooting at the #SLC #Utah #NoKings march was a self-anointed "good guy with a gun" shooting at another self-anointed "good guy with a gun" and killing an innocent person in the process.

More guns do not make us safer.

Remember: there are no accidental shootings.

Utah antiracist activists say that Gamboa (the young Venezuelan- American activist who was one of the two shooting victims) has been a fixture at local rallies, has open-carried his AR-15 before, and has never been violent. The police are charging him with homicide despite him never firing a shot.

The Nine Principles of Propaganda:

1. LIE BIG Big lies
work better than small lies
because the masses
won't believe that anyone
would lie “about that.”

2. FOCUS Don't
make it complicated,
ignore history, keep it
simple for simple minds.

3. REPEAT People
cannot tell the difference
between facts and
familiarity. The same
words repeated over and
over will become true in
their minds.

4. BLAME Never
credit the other side,
always blame, debase,
defame, and dehumanize.

5. PROVOKE Outrage,
fear, and resentment are
more powerful than reason,
logic, or facts.

6. CRISIS Issues must
be life or death, good vs evil,
love vs hate, us vs them.
Urgency defeats objection.

7. EMOTION A person
might question facts, but
they will never question their
own feelings. Go emotional.

8. PANDER Praise allies
generously, demonize all
who disagree as having bad
intentions or non-expert.

9. NO LIMIT The victor's
morality won't be questioned.
Morality is for losers.

Around 5 million people participated in last week's "No Kings" protests, according to the organizers. Next month, they're going to do it all again. The Transformative Justice Coalition has announced that the next protests will happen on July 17 in honor of the fifth anniversary of John Lewis's death. Spokesperson Barbara Arnwine said that they will focus on racial justice, voting rights, and "our continued and united fight for a just, inclusive and strong democracy that is our goal, that is our obligation in these times." Here's more from @AxiosNews.

The cover is a picture of her, her name across the top and the title, Not My Type next to her photo. Her post reads, "Hello Mr President!

Three panel cartoon:

A guy running from a man chasing him with a club, asking the other guy, "HELP!!!"

The other guy says, "Sorry mate, I'm APOLITICAL."

Blood spatters on the Other Guy, implying the club wielder got to the first guy.

Club Wielding guy, fist bumps the Other guy, "Thanks for helping, mate!"

"Two plus two equals four. There are twenty-four hours in a day. And when someone shows you who they are—when they defend ethnic cleansing, enable authoritarianism, and gaslight you for noticing—believe them."

I have created an US-sized (3.5x2in) version of the #FediCard , as well as written some explanations and instructions.

I would _really_ appreciate if someone here who participates in the upcoming #NoKings #protests for #July4th would print some of these out, distributed them, and told me what the reaction of the recipients was.

John Pavlovitz @johnpavlovitz

The most sobering part about becoming 1930’s Germany is realizing that no one is going to come here and liberate those being brutalized. If this historically inhumane regime is going to be overthrown, We The American People are going to have to do it.

The dust has not even settled from the announcement that ICE will be receiving more funding than the entire US prison system, and that a new concentration camp is opening in Florida, and already Trump is announcing he will deport US citizens.

Image of Trump at a mic.

Above, it reads:
'Trump calls for deporting US citizens: "We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time...many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job.'

The footer reads:
'BREAKING: SENATE PASSES BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL 51-50'

The Atlantic just sent out this article, speculating why the stock market is behaving the way it is. I may be wrong, but it seems like NOW is the time for a General Strike. Perhaps hand in hand with a mass withdrawal from "passive investors" like Vanguard, the American people can reign in this runaway machine.
