Intifada is the Arabic word for rebellion and uprising, derived from "nafada," meaning "to shake off." We can join with the people of Palestine in shaking off our oppressors as the highest form of solidarity, the only way to truly ensure a genocide like is occurring in their occupied lands today ends and is never again repeated.

Learn some pitfalls of spraypainting stencils and the lingo associated with them:
toy /tɔɪ/n, adj. (infml., disapprov) 1. a novice graffiti writer 2. a piece of graffiti that gives the appearance that a novice graffiti writer created it. Can be improved with practice, calm demeanor, smooth movements, and technique
overspray /ˈoʊ.vɚspreɪ/n when paint goes over and outside of the stencil, which betrays lack of confidence as well as competence. Can be avoided if one holds the paint can closer to the surface, or if one increases the size of the paint mask (Municipal Adhesives includes 2 pieces of cardstock in every stencil order to be used for this purpose: tape them to the sides/top/bottom). See the illustration for an example of overspray.
underspray /ˈʌn.dɚspreɪ/n when paint gets under your stencil, obscuring the intended paint mask and making it more difficult to read or interpret the piece. Can be avoided by using less paint (it is surprising how little paint you'll need; one more coat won't help!), holding the paint can farther away from the surface (8 inches is a good distance), and pushing the stencil against the surface with a gloved finger. See the illustration for an example of underspray.
clean /kliːn/adj. all spraypainted stencil pieces contain both underspray and overspray. A clean spray is one that minimizes both as much as possible, maintaining clarity of the image and legibility of the text.
Go with a comrade, so that one of you can look out while the other paints. This will minimize the rushing and fear that cause toy mistakes as well as keep you out of the hands of the Jakes or other interference.
🎵 You? You can't buy me! Why? I'm banned on Etsy! 🎶
Etsy took down, permanently, our Deny, Defend, Depose stencil. If you want one, you'll need to buy it over email at municipaladhesives@riseup.net. Price is $12, free shipping.
They cite their policy regarding prohibited items that include "[I]tems that praise or honor perpetrators of violence."
I want to add that, if you're good on stickering but not sure about spray paint yet, there's a biodegradable, food safe product called Color Mist that comes in small, pocketable containers and bright colors that you spray just like paint. It comes off eventually, so if you mess up and jiggle the stencil all the time (me) or if you just want some deniability (coward, don't worry, you'll get over it), color mist is good enough.

there is this persistent fantasy in technocratic liberals. They want to go back to the days where they didn't have to fight for anything, where the Republicans understood the "consensus" among professionals. Then Goldwater and Reagan happened and they wonder what's happened. So they move right, desperately compromising desperately hoping that one day they have common ground again, and we can just get things done together.
They don't like politics in other countries, where parties and people actually have to constantly fight to implement an agenda and fight even harder to sustain it. It looks just oh so irrational and scary. They want tnings to be just settled.
More understandable are the left liberal types who actually fought for shit and are watching it all slip away.

Purism treats their customers horribly. I feel bad for their engineers because of their awful leadership which illegally denied refunds to customers of a device that shipped multiple years late with severely reduced functionality.
When I disparage Culture War politics people ask what is the alternative? Does it mean “throwing under the bus” women and racial and sexual minorities? No. US Congressman Greg Casar, who represents a district in Austin, shows how it's done in this post on Bluesky:
It’s this political judo that establishment Dems like Harris, Clinton, and Obama won’t do. They won’t draw attention to class issues because they are on the side of the ruling class. So, they won’t do the one thing that discombobulates the culture war, and thus is the most effective strategy for protecting the people they’re constantly posing as the champions of.
Exactly. The culture wars are meant as a distraction to keep people from seeing that upward distribution of wealth is the end goal for the right wingers. And Rep. Casar obviously gets it.

Funny how the American left, which spent YEARS in the "by any means necessary" "burn it all down" space with no apology for destroying cities, assaulting and even killing innocent people (especially conservatives), suddenly gained a distaste for murder in connection with the assassination of the health insurance CEO.
Fasicsm is an authoritarian form of government that sees close cooperation between very large corporations and the government itself. Or, in other words, exactly what emerged with Obama (especially in the health care sector) and which reached its zenith in the Biden Administration (which perpetrated the covid tyranny).
The assassin did not kill a conservative, or 'Nazi' in the vernacular of the left, he killed the head of the most efficient health insurance company in the USA. This insurance company was WAY ahead in terms of innovation, even using AI to automatically deny its customers the coverage that they had paid for. As such, it had become a superb tool for the implementation of the medical tyranny that was/is to be foisted upon us all.
If someone condemns a particular act, but cannot generalise and apply the principles that led to that condemnation, then they are either idiots or hypocrites.
If you condemn the death of the CEO but not that of, say, Ashli Babbitt, then you are a reactive NPC rather than a thinking person capable of applying moral considerations and judgements across ideological bounds.
I do not support the assassination of the CEO. But I understand how the motivation to do so could arise in a society where his proclivity to abuse his own customers is not only allowed but actively supported by those who are charged to protect us all from such excesses.
It will be informative and instructive to observe further situation specific examples of moral outrage from the left, even as they turn a blind eye to the outrages of the fascism they supported under Obama and Biden.

Leftists are suggesting a mass presidential pardon for every illegal immigrant.
I'm thinking though, that doesn't actually change anything. It isn't like anyone was going to be charged and convicted, they're just going to be kicked out of the country -- and as far as I know you can't pardon your way out of kicking a foreigner out of the country.

Round-the-clock, nonstop, national news coverage of the CEO shot in NYC. But why?! Random murders are a constant in NYC.
I'll tell ya why. Because all the other soulless, vampire, pedo-demons, perched in their Ivory Towers are observing and thinking "🫨 That could be ME!! I've been profited off the misery of the populace for my entire life! What's to stop someone from doing that to ME?!?"

"Derrick Jensen would say that these people are engaged in a “toxic mimic” of public health. But it’s even stranger than that. These people (Rick Bright, nearly the entire field of public health, and all of the adjacent civil society groups who eagerly go along with the plan) are engaged in the public health equivalent of drag — an exaggerated performance of what they kinda sorta think public health should be like, without having a clue as to how actual science and health work.
So rather than hypothesis testing, rigorous data collection, and constant Bayesian readjustments of the plan based on incoming data we’re presented with endless theater — Ventilators! Masks! mRNA vaccines! Oh my! Then when real world evidence shows that none of these things work and in fact make things worse, the drag performers double down and engage in even more exaggerated and preposterous public health theater — this time with ominous calls to censor, blacklist, and cancel anyone who fails to demonstrate sufficient enthusiasm for the clown show (think of Peter Hotez recently calling for NATO to deal with the antivaxxers).
