Had the pleasure of hearing Dylan read this one at Metro Gallery during AWP. Told him @bruisermag is the place for hardcore punk lit. Read this one, it rules.

@xoliverlandx Ahhh thanks for sharing !!!

Got a new flash fiction piece at @bruisermag about first loves, fast music, and belonging (among other things) bruisermag.com/pyles_powervio…

Uh oh, they’re realizing that all prisons are immoral tools of fascism and not just ICE prisons! The dots are being connected folks.

@TheGreeneBJ I’m making no judgment on the tactic itself, but it’s hard to watch this misinformation spread. This is not what caused them to stop the sale, and it’s actually more important than ever to truly understand the impact of all the different strategies we’re using.

@TheGreeneBJ The sale to ICE had ALREADY been called off before this happened, after weeks of pressure campaigns from a variety of local organizers. This happened AFTER the entire city had already got word that the sale was off. For more context from the ground: kansascitydefender.com/justice/platfo…

Oh so that just... worked?

@colonizedlocal This video was apparently filmed by local news crews in real time, and could very well be part of a plan to distract from the power building that actually caused the sale to fall through—which again, it had already been announced that the deal was off. kansascitydefender.com/justice/platfo…

@colonizedlocal I need to mention that this happened after the sale was already called off, which happened earlier the same day after weeks of pressure campaigns from local organizers.

doing the Lorde’s work. the work that should be done instead of calling a representative and packing fascist city halls. put her in the white lady HOF next to the one who burnt down the Wendy’s in ATL after Rayshard Brooks’ murder

Ok I need to address this: Local organizers with labor orgs, abolitionist orgs and city elected officials in Kansas City have been organizing strategic campaigns against this facility for over a month! This happened AFTER Platform Ventures, the capital firm that owns the warehouse, announced in a pissed off pouty statement that they weren't selling the warehouse to DHS. They cited "threats to their families" among other things meant to garner sympathy and slander the grassroots organizing that thwarted their plans. This person cares enough to catch an arson charge, but not enough to know the basic updates on this monumental development hours after the fact? From everything I can tell, local news filmed this! KMBC was on the scene reporting on the aforementioned announcement and this person walked up in broad daylight in flip flops in February and did this on camera. You can tell from the camera movement this is a big camera all the way zoomed in on a tripod. Stop giving this lady credit for cancelling the sale! Individual action will not save us, and it didn't here. Coordinated, collective, strategic action is what stopped this deal. Dumbass shit like this has incredibly high potential to blow back on the organizers who actually stopped this, and honestly I wouldn't put it past DHS or this capital firm to do this themselves to shape their narrative.

Birkenstocks, no mask, broad daylight, filmed while it’s happening yet nobody arrested, matches and bbq lighter fluid. But most importantly, this happened hours AFTER an organized campaign WON and the owners of this facility said they would not sell to DHS. Sus as fuck tbh.

I hate that we have to do this again but y’all realize they pick the ones who might be dangerous and give them the Super Bowl to neutralize them, right?

I believe in living. assata, thank you.

@Steven_Hyden Could be a jam band but like, for words. Ryan just riffing on turns of phrase and double entendres for 40 mins

Feel like Ryan Davis & The Roadhouse Band could take a (slight or significant) jamband turn if they want.

@kimandgo Was trying to guess on the year and got to Code Orange Kids which dates it perfectly lmao

me and a friend took out a credit card and slept in my car to attend this, still a great weekend :3

@IrishBarrister @celisa_mia Difference between owning the building and owning the business inside the building. The city is more the landlord. They did not own or operate the store.

Kansas City does not OWN the store. It bought the store in 2016, and has invested about $18 million over the years to keep the store afloat. The city was never in charge of daily operations. It's nothing like Mamdani's proposal for municipal grocery stores in NYC.

Comparing KC's subsidized grocery store to the DMV is ironically very accurate. Just like Missouri DMVs, the store is *not* government-ran. Both have a pointless private middleman that just makes it shittier

Ring cameras are partnering with Axon (makers of police body cameras, among other police tech) to make a new feature that allows people to opt-in to police being able to live-stream everything the doorbell camera sees AND allow police to request footage directly from users

Mikhail Bakunin: “I am truly free only when all human beings, men and women, are equally free. The freedom of other men, far from negating or limiting my freedom, is, on the contrary, its necessary premise and confirmation.”

@kimandgo This is all too perfect. Would love to hear the record at some point !

the songwriters' "personal assistant" lived with her for 12 years im going to fucking lose it
