  • My personal anecdotal observation is that in my area these are all being done by 50501 and Indivisible (started by Obama staffers), which (again, in my area) are the same individuals. They’re also the same individuals that regularly campaign for (or are themselves) state and local Democrat politicians who repeatedly oppose protections for tenants and unhoused people, while lobbying for cops, landlords, Zionism, and the chamber of commerce. I don’t have a photocopy of a big novelty check from the DNC with “No Kings rally” written on the For line, but what I observe in my area seems fairly identical to what I hear from others about their areas.












  • We can debate the tactical merits of this or that individual action forever. Was it worth it? Was it the right time? Was it the right target? What could they have done better? What’s not debatable to me is that it accomplished infinitely more than a hundred lifetimes spent posting on social media, writing to the imperial congress, or holding signs at permitted peaceful protests. There are 2 fewer people engaged in the extermination of the Palestinian people today than there were yesterday, and the world is better for it.






  • For anyone confused: this isn’t coming out of nowhere,

    minor movie spoiler

    it’s just the marketers trying to squeeze attention out of a spoiler at the end of the movie. They want to have their cake and eat it too by teasing the asterisk in the title as a mystery, then milking the reveal after a few days now that they assume anyone who cares about having that sort of thing spoiled has already seen it.

    It’s still a strange marketing choice for a fairly successful movie a few days after release.
