The Holy Savior Cathedral: Isfahan, Iran

Public opinion and voters, not the streets, is the 'center of gravity' (in the Clausewitzian sense, DRINK!).

This is a *super* common theme of all sorts of asymmetric contests: get the big conventional force to overreact and use its massive violence to spread your message. 6/13

Instead, protests like this focus on a strategy of *revealing* police violence for what it is, by creating opportunities for police to overreact and reveal their violence in situations where it can be observed and documented and thus shift public opinion. 5/13

I reject the false dicitomy of polcie versus their neighbors. We can’t try to peddle community policing strategies but then angrily reject when the community actually decides how it’s done. They should decide. Who else would? We need to change what it means to be police in the US

fml the husband said there was "a giant spider in the bedroom with dust bunnies stuck to it," could I come and "take care of it"

so I went & got the tweezers & pulled the dust bunnies off & was like YAYYYYY THERE I FIXED IT SHE'S BEAUTIFUL NOW
