I wrote about the findings from the inquiry about the impact of the pandemic on the NHS, and the mistakes of the first year. I hope it makes you angry - it should make us all angry. open.substack.com/pub/christin...

Important. How we talk about issues matters in terms of persuading people to do the right thing.

#fungifriends fungi on dead tree branch. Beauty persists

open.substack.com/pub/zeteo/p/... Important information. Years ago I worked with a young man who was interested in getting CO status. He ended up completing his service because he wasn’t asked to do war crimes though he wasn’t happy with indoctrination that military personnel receive.

How can anyone support a country that supports this?

Fungi fotos to bring joy

Amazing!

Anti-vaxxers are bad parents. Not vaccinating your child is abuse. We should eliminate all non-medical exemptions for vaccines. Sorry, not sorry.

Too many people believe that somehow people deserve to be poor when the truth is the hardest workers you’ll meet have nothing to. Our system fails us at every turn

Got up to speed on homelessness and speak out. Most of us are not safe from the economy which is funneling money from those who lack resources to those already rolling in dough

Well, here we are with the nutcase version of “Christianity” that wants destruction

open.substack.com/pub/erininth... The shear spitefulness of trying to prevent people from using the toliet. It’s clear a good number of people need a lesson in myob (mind your own business)

Again Kelly Hayes is always worth reading. And we all have a lot to learn these days about what works snd how to help.

"These moral panics also work to generate consent for something more sinister ... The state uses criminalization to redirect its responsibility for the social problems it causes — economic crisis, poverty, displacement, war — onto populations which are often the victims of state policies."

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics. "It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Words fail.

An amazing woman

The harm this administration is causing to public health….

Absolutely

ICE pursued school buses, intruded on campuses, and abducted students in MN and beyond. “Our classrooms are sacred spaces… This government is defiling them.” Read this new story by Lily Seltz on Trump’s ICE abducting kids. #AbolishICE #children

So good to see people rising up

The consequences of caving. We need to abolish police too. Reimagine how to get to safe communities

Abolish ICE, Border Patrol!

"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed." A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends. Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

It’s good to see that people are actively trying to stop this genocide

Whose life is valuable?

I wrote about how in a December email to me, RFK Jr.'s HHS insisted the current South Carolina measles outbreak wouldn't get that bad—and how it has since snowballed into the biggest US outbreak since measles was eliminated. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Not a good start to any negotiations

Absolutely! Very important to dismantle the police state

1. ICE has STOPPED PAYING for medical treatment for its 73,000 detainees ICE has not paid its bills to 3rd party providers since OCTOBER and the situation will likely persist for MONTHS, a Popular Information investigation reveals Meanwhile, critically ill ICE detainees are not receiving care 🧵

Israeli crimes

When you get down to having border security it’s all racist and exclusionary and it’s really impossible to make it humane. No ice no borders!

Trump’s Ethnic Cleansing Campaign in Minneapolis prospect.org/2026/01/15/t...

Studies designed by people who don’t understand vaccines that will cause actual harm because of their design very unethical

The deadly result of excusing Trump’s lies baptistnews.com/article/the-...

Knew from the beginning ICE was lying but it was hard to know what had happened but it seems like they just shot them for fun?

From Palestine to Minneapolis, ICE and Israel use the same violent playbook mondoweiss.net/2026/01/from...

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

From Palestine to Minneapolis, ICE and Israel use the same violent playbook mondoweiss.net/2026/01/from...

We are doomed. ICE needs to be abolished not further funded

organizingmythoughts.org/the-cost-of-... Kelly Hayes who always is worth listening to. Training violent agents isn’t the answer abolishing ice is. Open borders is important
