Matt Gaetz is blaming antifa for storming the Capitol. Laura Ingraham is making the same claim on Fox News. As Republicans rush to disavow Trump, remember this is part and parcel of same propaganda machine that said climate scientists lied for money and COVID was no big deal.

Brendan Fitzgerald on Paul Curreri: “If your work is shouting, deep-breasted, from sun-up to sundown, take care,” he sang on 2003’s Songs for Devon Sproule, named for the musician he’d marry a few years later. “In time, a shouter you’ll become.” longreads.com/2020/03/12/i-m… #music

The US election is tomorrow. If you, like me, are tired of horse-race-style reporting, and need to zoom out, I wanna tell you a story. It’s about an ancient force influencing the election. And, as a bonus, it’ll give you an Easter egg to watch for as the returns come in. THREAD

In Poland, millions of women across the country are striking after the government banned abortion. Refusing to go to work, drive, cook at home, or do anything until the ban is dropped. Poland's President today indicated they may have to change or reverse the law. ✊🏼

Kevin Peterson Jr. was murdered near my apartment tonight. Our community has gathered in support, squared up against cops in riot gear.
I think they fear us more than we them.
This revolution won’t end until justice has been won.

The unified voices of Nigerians have been treated as a threat to democracy instead of an expression of it. We unreservedly condemn the government’s use of violence against peaceful protesters. #EndBadGoveranceInNigeria #EndSARS #EndPoliceBrutalityinNigeraNOW

Last night in Wolf City, Texas, cop Shaun Lucas shot and killed Jonathon Price. Jonathon saw a man assaulting a woman and tried to intervene. The police came. Jonathon was hit with a taser. Then, despite having his hands in the air, he was shot and killed. No justice, no peace.
