Unconscionable. This is what happens when Christian nationalists infiltrate and erode the high court by replacing science with their own twisted beliefs and calling it law.

NEVER FUCK WITH THE NORTHWEST

The Forest Service is scoping out two projects that would thin out 100,000 acres of trees and vegetation in the Ochocos National Forest. However, conservation groups are raising the alarm on the environmental impacts.

People are what has won us the freedoms we have. Not government. People. Us. 2/2

On remembering history that was never taught: The nature we adore so much has always had to be fought for. Environmental regulations didn’t just happen on their own. It took people willing to fight for them. Outside of a ballot box too. 1/2

More on the history they never taught you. Showdown in Seattle (1999) 5 days that shook the WTO (World Trade Organization) What we didn’t know back then? We didn’t have the Panama, Pandora and Paradise papers yet. We didn’t know about Epstein yet.

For too long, this kind of behavior has been tolerated and normalized. Not just by politicians who willingly accept corrupt money and allow lobbyists to “persuade” them. But by the general population. The equally corrupt Supreme Court said it was okay to accept bribes. Doesn’t mean they have to.

Mom read the nutrition labels and calculated calories per dollar so we could stretch our foodstamp money.

She’s someone’s friend, daughter, sister, partner, neighbor, co-worker. I’m angry at the people doing this. I’m angry at the people who ignore it because they think it doesn’t impact them directly. What the fuck are we doing?

It’s definitely just lip service. Chief Barnes has been particularly lenient, giving discipline at the lowest end of the spectrum in most cases.

Since anarchists are going to be heavily targeted by the fascists (again 😉) I want to TRY to garner a bit of curiosity from folks about anarchism. What is it? Where did it come from? What does it mean? Is it communism? Is it the same as Marxism/Leninism? Why do fascists HATE anarchists so much?

There has been a normalization of these Christian fascists. Americans now see these groups and brush it aside. That is dangerous. They are allowed to form orgs and behave as if what they are doing is normal. It isn’t. It’s fascism. It’s AMERICAN fascism. After all, the KKK were also “Christians”.

The Left has to fundamentally explain to millions of people that the rank-n-file of the Republican party is being systematically staffed by literal neo-Nazis.

A new ordinance would not only create more signs, but also allow the City Attorney’s Office to prosecute any staging or enforcement activities. But our undocumented residents state these actions aren’t enough and demand direct aid to impacted communities. There are also a few more caveats at play.

We aren’t angry enough

Yesterday, shortly after his conversation with Putin, Trump stated that the United States would lift part of the sanctions on Russia’s oil sector and on several other countries until the crisis is resolved. He added that the sanctions might not need to be reintroduced afterward.

The officer who killed Ruben Ray Martinez has been identified as Homeland Security Investigations agent Jack Stevens.

Ok I decided to pull the video.

While most major banks have cut ties with CoreCivic and The GEO Group, Citizens continues to keep the money flowing to the companies, which are holding more than half of the 70,000 people currently in ICE detention centers across the country. Sign the petition to tell Citizens enough is enough.

You all just accept things as the status quo. You’ve normalized corruption. Probably because it is human nature to do so. Especially with as much as it has been deliberately normalized by the people doing the corruption.

Nobody told me AIPAC BAD. See, I don’t have Google. But I do have other browsers. I used it to go look into WHO is giving AIPAC that money that they then donate to politicians. I feel like that’s a logical step to take. But many haven’t. Many (such as yourself) have stopped asking questions.

An Iranian drone targeted the high-rise 'Era tower' in Manama, Bahrain. They destroyed at least two floors, it is used as a residential building; the motive or target of the strike is unclear.

BREAKING: Trump Just Did It open.substack.com/pub/americam...

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians. We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

And that is not even all of them. I could go on and on. AIPAC is literally funded by evil billionaires. “When we are up against evil billionaires- who cares where we get campaign money from as long as it’s legal” I mean…it’s coming from the evil billionaires. I care. You should as well.

Critical thinking skills: We are up against corrupt billionaires. Who do we think donates to AIPAC? The money comes from somewhere. Right? It doesn’t magically appear out of nowhere. Let’s see who donates money to AIPAC, so that it can then be donated to politicians. 🧵

NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims. By @mckenziefunk.com @micarosenberg.bsky.social

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

🧵 How institutional norms form and how modern authoritarian regimes are using these norms as a tool of consolidation: Organizations adopt similar structures and practices because of coercive (regulatory), mimetic (imitation), and normative (professional) pressures.

Last photo. What do you see?

Questioning authority requires us to take tiny steps like this. Observe the world we live in. The people around us. The “norms” we have adopted and accepted to be “normal”. Question them. WHY are they normal? Who gets to decide what is normal? What even qualifies them to decide? Who is benefiting?

Breaking a well‑known convention often triggers shame or punishment. The anticipation of these negative emotions discourages experimentation and dissent. You may be familiar with the fascists staunch hatred of “blue hair” (especially on women) and piercings. They use memes, derogatory language,etc

A shared set of conventions (language, dress, rituals) creates a visible marker of “us vs. them.” This visual cohesion reinforces the regime’s narrative of national or ideological unity. What does this picture show you?
