A package exploded at Northeastern last night; Having a second explosive package pretty much rules out accident as far as I'm concerned. Other Boston area schools are on alert now, and I imagine organizations in general are being more careful today when it comes to receiving stuff. I hope it's an isolated thing and not some Qanon/Branch Trumpvidian inspired attack.

I hadn't heard of this group until this twitter thread, but they are apparently quite active in attacking people personally through means including swatting, doxxing and false accusations. I came across them via this twitter thread, which outlines some of the behaviour. The MTG connection is interesting, not least because it's quite possibly legitimate rather than being something she set up - this is a loose group of cannons who seem set to go off against anyone they are annoyed at. It is terrorism.

Over 200 people were killed in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday, in a series of bombings in churches and hotels. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/world/coordinated-explosions-rock-three-churches-and-two-hotels-in-sri-lanka-on-easter-sunday/2019/04/21/a09002a0-63f6-11e9-9ff2-abc984dc9eec_story.html The Washington Post article doesn't definitely say that the motive behind these bombs was to target Christians, but given that more than one of the targets was a Christian church and that they took place on the most important holy day in the Christian calendar, it seems probable. (It's such a dumb side note, but I want to shake some of "our" fundies here in the US who cry "persecution" when their barrista says, "Happy Holidays!" Bombs in your church are persecution. Shootings at your mosque are persecution. Shootings at your synagogue are persecution. Grow the fuck up, your dim dipshits.) I guess I'm going to check this story periodically today, in between the egg hunt and the cozy family meal we have planned. And keep the people of Sri Lanka in my heart all day.

I hope these two racist fuck sticks go away for a long time.

The fuck stick who mowed down protestors with his car in Charlottesville pled guilty I hope that fuck stick lives a very long time in a maximum security prison and never has another day of freedom as long as he lives.

A couple pieces of shit are not walking the streets tonight

White supremacist prison gangs are just as bad, or worse than MS-13. Rocket Launcher, pipe bombs, firearms seized in raids on white supremacist gangs WTF do you need a rocket launcher for?

Mods, it's not like you've got plenty to worry about, but help me? Merge as needed. Come Sunday, intend to be one set of feet on the ground against domestic terrorism, at Freedom Plaza in DC. (The tiki-torch-terrorists are planning to be at Lafayette Square, near the WH.) INTEND to be near there--if you want "in" in spirit, send me a PM (likes don't cut it--not clear enough)--and I will very *happily* add your name/nick onto my protest signs. (One is gonna be "PROUD Social Justice Warrior!" red and blue letters on white, and I'm looking for suggestions for the reverse.)

Sorry to bring this down to a level of seriousness, @Destiny, but I just have to say how the way things work in the world today are so messed up. That there are actually people who think that they get the upper hand by bringing down innocent people with such crazy and ridiculous actions! Never mind the recent drama here. The terror attacks in today in Belgium put that into perspective. Lives were lost. Families are ripped apart. Innocent lives. People who were doing nothing to provoke those who attacked them. People just conducting their every day lives. This happened in Paris in November. This happened in America in 2001. It happens in other places around the world that we don't hear so much about. Why? For revenge? Because you think you are going to get 72 virgins? Have you not seen Jeff Dunham's act to know that this ain't gonna happen!?!?! I just don't understand humanity anymore. Down vote me if you support these actions, but please give a positive rep vote to show your support for the victims of terror around the world, especially those suffering today in Belgium. Just sayin...
