THREAD- 🛡️ COMMUNITY PROTECTION TOOLKIT 🛡️ 🚨ATTENTION CHARLOTTE AREA How to Organize ICE & CBP Resistance in Your Neighborhood This toolkit is based on what has worked in Chicago as communities organize to keep their neighbors safe and informed. (reposting, H/T original author!) (1)

Good morning from DAY FIVE of our national ULP strike! We're ready to escalate if we don’t see substantial progress toward finalizing contracts that address pay, hours/staffing & the resolution of 100s of ULPs. RT if you're with us ✊🔥 #NoContractNoCoffee

Heavy police presence on Day 1 of Week 2 at #COP30. Need military to keep Indigenous people out, while 1600+ fossil fuel lobbyists waltz in. In Canada’s case, many of them are apart of our official party delegation.

The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

Decolonization forever

Because of the rates jump on premiums, Mr. Beet & I are weighing the price of medical bankruptcy as an alternative to hemorrhaging money every month for worthless insurance. I hate it here. We're middle class, fed, and housed. I weep for all that face this reality without such privilege.

Everyone deserves healthcare (including the right to safe legal abortion), a safe place to live, a roof over their head, enough food to eat and clothes enough to be comfortable. Trans people are not a threat and no human being is illegal.

My wokest opinion is that every community deserves an extremely well-funded library that’s open to everyone and that librarians and teachers should make like ten times what they make now.

There is good, machine-learning work being done to preserve Indigenous languages around the world, but this grifter shit ain't it

The Brazilian government announces the demarcation of two Indigenous territories following the Munduruku protest at COP30.

We don't have enough people doing what they can but I am so grateful to those who are. Thank you. Actually taking the time to make the call, send the letter, show up to the meeting, write the check, go to the protests, do actual mutual aid. Thank you.

The awesome folks at @cartooncontender.bsky.social interviewed me about Pow!’s Oscars eligibility! They do fantastic work covering awards hopefuls in the animation space and I could not be more grateful for all of the kind words they had for our film. Check it out!

I cannot say enough, there are places in your community that need help and one of the most personally empowering things you can do in this disempowering era is show up and ask humbly where you can slot in and contribute.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

In a court victory from the 2021 resistance to Line 3 pipeline construction in MN, a federal appeals court ruled that police officers who use excessive force on protesters are not entitled to qualified immunity and cannot use excessive force to prompt compliance. unicornriot.ninja/2025/federal...

Hooray!

WE WON! After 42 days of striking we have a tentative agreement in hand that protects our existing 4 day work week, establishes a minimum salary, and adds protections against AI replacing jobs at our workplace!

Let's talk about books and the public trust. 📚🧵 Something that is easy to forget, in these days of barcode-scanning / auto-adjust pricing on third-party platforms for pennies plus shipping: Booksellers are not merely people who sell some popular books in a competitive market.

Musk: so what you think now? i'ma pretty smart, eh? King: Barker: Lovecraft: Koontz: Poe: Mary Shelley: finish him, joyce Musk: now waita you a minute Joyce Carol Oates: [unsheathing katana]

Protest comes as Brazil's leader Lula says COP30 participants should be 'inspired' by Indigenous peoples.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

"A Kansas county has agreed to pay $3 million over 2023 police raids of a local newspaper and multiple homes." "[R]aids came as the [Marion County] Record investigated sexual misconduct allegations against then-Marion Police Chief Police Gideon Cody." #Kansas #USA #Policing #Media #Housing #Courts

The rumors that @golikehellmachine.com was raptured seem exaggerated

Kahlil Gibran's THE PROPHET. I read it as a tween and it crowbarred open my world, with poetry and kindness. Tom Wolfe's THE ELECTRIC KOOL-AID ACID TEST. It awakened my taste for Gonzo journalism & I was fascinated with mid-century counter culture.

Dude Yahoo deleted 25 years of my email without notice or recourse. It felt like someone burned down part of my house. It was the golden age of email, too- late 90's, where we still wrote whole letters, just on the computer. I was going to write my memoirs with those. So it goes.
