Autocorrect very much wants to capitalize the “m” in Emacs, because it believes I must be talking about the eMac. And, sure, I get why that is in Apple’s dictionary, but are there that many people regularly talking about a Mac that hasn’t been made in 20 years?

This is important information because we need to stop the narrative that militarized police suddenly appear and disappear depending who is in office.

If we happen to survive Trump, we need to get to work and put pressure on Dems to dismantle the militarized police forces in this country.

Facts.

Biden is objectively worse than Trump from the perspective of police violence, and it's not remotely close.

The all time list is:

  1. Reagan
  2. Biden
  3. Nixon

https://hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/114530823609876691

Trump would need to first beat Biden's 2024 high score, and then increase incarceration by 1 million people a year, for the next *checks notes* 20 years (not a typo), and then transfer more net worth than all Black US people have in total, to even approach Biden numbers. Biden the Democrat.🤡

After Trump left office in 2020, we had an opportunity to stop, or at least slow, the further militarization of our police. Instead, our elected officials kicked it into overdrive.

Since 2020, we've had EIGHTY cop cities in planning, development or fully developed. We gave record-breaking amounts of money to police.

We didn't push back at all. Now we have Israeli-trained police ready to go to war with protesters at a moments notice.

DIAL M
FOR MONEY

The image is a newspaper clipping from a publication titled "PHONE WARS." The main headline reads "DIAL 'M' FOR MONEY," suggesting a focus on telecommunication issues. The newspaper has a vintage appearance with a yellowed, aged look, indicating it might be from several decades ago. The layout includes a large photograph of a black telephone keypad on the left side, with the numbers 2, 6, and 8 visible. The article is written by Simon Garfield, as indicated at the bottom. The text is divided into columns, with subheadings such as "The Future" and "Military Lasers," suggesting a broader discussion on technology and its implications. The overall tone of the article seems to address the economic and technological aspects of phone services.

Hong Kong protestors say:

"Do Not Split."

Do not condemn the people on your side who embrace tactics you disagree with.

Do. Not. Split.
#doNotSplit

Yet if the movement is leaderless and anarchic, it isn't chaotic. It has guiding principles that allow participants to self- regulate even as the movement constantly reinvents itself. Among those principles is ("do not split"). Protesters use the expression to say that no one in the movement should condemn or obstruct the actions of fellow protesters they disagree with. People who oppose a given action should sit it out, but not try to prevent it.
The use of force, in particular, is a divisive issue. Some insist on the necessity of keeping the protests peaceful, so that they will seem morally legitimate and may gain sympathy from the broader public. Others — especially younger protesters or protesters who consider that the lengthy sit-ins of the Umbrella Movement failed — believe that some measure of force has become necessary; otherwise, the government will simply ignore them. The “do not split” idea acts as a bridge between these two factions by promoting mutual respect for diverging views within the protest movement.

"Who knows how much extinguisher ammo they have left. The cops are trapped under this bridge, more or less.

This happened because of POLICE VIOLENCE.

No cop cars were being set on until cops spent hours shooting and brutally maiming protestors all of today, as well as pummeling them with blunt force violence with batons and chemical weapons with tear gas.

This is the community of LA defending itself from police repression."
