This is just one section of the NYPD lined up to help escort fascists to a clinic this morning so they can harass people seeking abortion care
The fascists emerged from the church two minutes ago, and then NYPD is already threatening everyone who isn’t on the fascist side with arrest
NYPD cops yuckin it up as they watch fascists try to go harass a clinic
The side that supports and defends the right to abortion (support @nycforabortion) is very successfully delaying the Christo-fascists from moving towards the clinic
A massive number of NYPD cops are again threatening people with arrest, for trying to slow the Christo-fascist procession to harass abortion providers
Organizers with @nycforabortion said that the fascists got a permit this week, which might have something to do with the monstrous NYPD presence, although they protect this procession monthly. But this begs the question, how did they get a permit to harass a clinic?
Another shot of just part of the small army New Yorkers pay to protect the Christo-fascists harassing a clinic on a Saturday morning
The commanding NYPD cop here (Nikas in the hat) making the boys crack up while they escort fascist to harass a clinic
One of the vilest things antis do is pose as fake clinic escorts. Bernadette Patel (in the pink) does this monthly. Luckily @nycforabortion has it covered.
The NYPD army the people of New York pay to protect people harassing folks seeking abortion
Because the good folks with @nycforabortion slowed the procession down so much, the Christo-fascists are already headed back to their church (The Basilica of St. Patrick's Old Cathedral) with their NYPD escort
The pope (@CHBAF) is now being denied access to the church
One last plug, if you don’t follow @nycforabortion and you’re someone in New York especially who supports bodily autonomy and abortion access, give em a follow and shop up to clinic defenses!
The night Damar Hamlin went down, and the game almost went on, so many people shared stories of being forced to work after coworkers had passed away or been injured. It’s disturbing, but shines a needed light on the horror of this system. So here’s a few of their stories 🧵
Creating a false equivalence between a young woman responding to provocation from a man, and the man himself who both traffics women and encourages millions of young men to be violent misogynists and fascists is not a serious position.
Tried to avoid commenting because this is clearly so unserious and a distraction, but this guy has sent like 20 tweets saying this same shallow thing and yeah maybe she could have responded better but if you’re repeatedly focusing on her tweet you intentionally missing the point
Okay god. Okay I no longer feel bad for commenting on this guy’s crap take
All of this is to dismantle a homeless encampment in Minneapolis. Thinking about this especially in contrast with climate disasters like what we just saw in Buffalo, and how the state invests in violence to the point where it defunds what we need to survive.
As i read this story about a man, who is undoubtedly a hero for saving a whole bunch of people, I was struck by how he needed to break into a school to survive. In large part because care and survival have been defunded in order to fund violence.
This is one reason that, although electoralism generally isn't my jam, I think the left should think very seriously about trying to win power in local governments. Check out the municipal approach of groups like @CooperationJXN or read more below. dissentmagazine.org/article/the-mu…
