“Fetishizing distinctions between violence and nonviolence can lead to the indulgence of rhetoric about ‘good’ and ‘bad’ protesters, where ‘peaceful’ protesters are celebrated and ‘violent’ protesters–for example, those who engage in property destruction that disrupts profit–are viewed as disposable and disreputable, And when they refer to ‘peaceful protest,’ they are talking about cooperative protest that obediently stays within the lines drawn by the state. This licenses people to care about the cause being protested without caring about what happens to the ‘bad’ protesters. For example, even as significant numbers of people supported the uprisings following the racist murder of George Floyd, many fewer people vocally defended the rights of protesters who were arrested for acts of property destruction and funneled into the racist carceral system,” ~~ Abdul El-Sayed, the newly minted Democratic nominee for Senate in Michigan

Quote of the day
Hi guys. Thought I try a new daily feature. Quote of the Day. May be pithy, maybe historical, maybe serious, maybe…anything. Hope you enjoy. Here is the first up. There will be an intern hosting soon. Got to interview the ladies first.
“They whine when they don’t get attention, and whine 10x harder when they do. They whine hardest about the problematic ‘new fans’ who quadrupled their pay, tripled their TV audiences, 10x-ed their franchise valuations, got them charter jets, and staved off their inevitable bankruptcy for 10 years or so. I sincerely hope they achieve their dream of exorcising themselves of CC and all those dreaded ‘new fans,’ and return to their beloved Paradise Lost of half-empty 1000 seat high school gyms attended by girl fight fetishists with giveaway tickets printed on Subway Sandwich receipts.” ~~ Iowahawk
