This type of talk is all over r/nursing on reddit. They've even changed the picture of the subreddit to one of Alex in his scrubs.

Always remember these two facts about fascists: - They are never as strong as they pretend to be. You outnumber them, always. - They are guaranteed to lose power eventually. The only question is what you and your friends can do to make that happen as soon as possible.

If your takeaway from this is that the normal police are consistently “better” in these situations I fear you need a wedgie

So I've taken up taking photos of my cursed apartment building. I decided to use them to make screenshots for a fake video game exploring it I plan to make more of these fake game artifacts with my cursed apartment tour photos 💾

Good morning to all freedom fighters, and to the millions of people who are googling “abolish ICE” for the first time

KARE 11 TV in the twin cities has a very stodgy, risk-averse news department that rarely bucks authority. Just a cookie cutter local news team seemingly from another era. SO it’s heartening see them actually check Bovino’s lies.

Re ICE actrocities in MN, I’ve already said that lately I feel consistently angrier than I’ve ever felt in my long life. But I also feel absolutely heartsick. That poor little 5-year old baby kidnapped, imagining how scared he was… I know many of you feel the same. Love and solidarity to you.

So the House is going to vote TOMORROW on the DHS funding bill that includes funding for ICE. There's a real chance we can get Dems to vote NO on any bill with ICE funding to sink it. Once it goes to the Senate we likely lose this chance. 24 hours. Go. www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/no-f...

Child Trafficking Tuesdays with Tony Dokoupil

This, I think, as much as the actual substantive aspect of it is why whatever comes next is going to require an institutional process of de-trumpification. Because we have to take ownership over what happened and how it happened before we can institute any meaningful reforms.

it is kind of wild we have reached the point where you can say Has It happened and everyone knows what you mean

I stopped writing about cybernetics, surveillance, recognition, and control society after the last two books and 4 articles because at this point Labour teaming up with Palantir via Oswald Mosley's grandson to build a panopticon says enough. The only rational thing to do with such toys is break them

A point of extreme concern for all of us should be that outside of left wing circles (and even within some of them) this is absolutely how working class is used. Nonwhite workers are Some Other Thing, if you have a degree even if you're a waitress you're still somehow middle class, it's a problem.

the knitters too. this is the top pattern on ravelry right now

What if people just started publishing essays and zines via librarypunk.

Rise like Lions after slumber In unvanquishable number— Shake your chains to earth like dew Which in sleep had fallen on you— Ye are many—they are few. -Percy Shelly, The Mask of Anarchy Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

They aren't specialists in violence they're just dicks the government gave badges to, don't mythologize being a thug because you're scared of loud noises

“last fall I had this idea for a zine about Dilbert quitting his job and trying to learn to be happy and coming to terms with the fact that he’s trans actually” (posted 4/18/2022)

Ideas are nothing; finished work is everything. Sit down and do it.

The context here is a bunch of Big Strong Business Men trying to explain to him that flooding the US market with cheap sour crude is not great when barrel prices are already low

there is no positive route forward for the United States without mass arrests and trials for DHS employees

at some point we're gonna have to have a real conversation about why we're still paying federal taxes to a regime that isn't using them to help anyone, but instead is using them to brutalize us

I'm glad I spent most of the day talking to people outside the social media space, because I can see that many folks on here aren't processing fear, anger, or uncertainty very well — and reactivity has a way of compounding. A few things...

Drugs are the primary boogeyman used to justify imperial intervention in Latin America. When academics and activists like myself talk about legalizing drugs, it's not only to keep drug users safe from the toxic supply (which is reason enough), it's about geopolitical stability. It affects YOU

NO WAR WITH VENEZUELA. FUCK AMERICAN IMPERIALISM. Fuck Donald Trump.

I need $5,000 ASAP to: - research sanctions on Venezuela, Columbia, and Brazil - lawyer up - hire a Spanish speaking logistics coordinator - develop local contacts - start planning an aid shipment Can you make it happen, Bluesky? www.omprakash.org/global/distr...

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

If you like the books, podcasts, videos or posts any help you feel able to give would be much appreciated - I promise the next book is going to be good too! ko-fi.com/A736KL3

Welp there it is. If you still subscribe, now you know exactly what you're funding

Oof, okay. This one's a weird, uncomfortable ask. December was an extremely lean month, with half my shit on going on Flex loans, and I'm staring down the barrel of not being able to pay my rent this month. If you dug my work this year and are feeling generous, I could use a leg up.

Lady was at the reading room during my shift to look at some collection. She said her husband had done some reporting on the klan. I mentioned the famous radio Superman episode that was inspired by a klan exposé. She said yeah that was my husband.

I don’t know if I know anyone who knows anyone but can someone just suggest to Pope Leo how good it would feel to excommunicate the American Vice President?

Landmines primarily kill civilians years or even decades after the conflict fades. The 1997 Mine Ban Treaty has 162 States Parties as of 2015. However the United States, Russian, China, India, and Pakistan have not adopted it. Mines are still limited by the 1980 Convention on Conventional weapons.

What if we did a series of explainer episodes to cover things people are studying in library school? What topics would you want to hear about?

Go help trans people get housing, go help trans people get hormones, go help trans people get money and food and jobs and everything else we need to not just survive but to thrive Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

DO IT MOREOVER, ICE MUST BE DESTROYED

cis people on the skyline are genuinely more distressed by karoline leavitt’s lip fillers than the fact that congress just said, “what we should do is put any doctor or pharmacist in prison who gives lifesaving medical care to this specific kind of child we find gross.”

As heard on @horrorvanguard.bsky.social “I am constantly thinking about the political economy of Willy Wonka”

I know many things are awful but here is one genuinely useful and helpful thing you can do. No matter their party, your representative needs to hear that trans people and our families are not alone and this bill is an unjustifiable and extreme threat to criminalize the health care we need to live.

I am once again encouraging everyone to learn about the long standing history of liberal collaboration and philosophical convergence with fascism.

Rapid Response teams are reporting in across Chicago's southwest side and collar suburbs. Federal agents' presence also reported around 8 am this morning in the Back of The Yards neighborhood, per Southwest Side Rapid Response.
