This whole thread, but especially - disease has been used to get rid of the "undesirables" by conquerors and controlling governments for millennia. Just as Covid is being used now, even if it doesn't kill you, you've passed it on to someone it might.

ICE agents fled from the crowd and left behind their CONOPS battle plan for Minneapolis, including agent's names, hotel rooms, phone numbers, boxes of license plates, and tac radio frequencies.

DHS is using the remaining 3 detained Lakota men as a bargaining chip for an agreement on access to the rez. It is so fucking nauseating.

This is the updated, more organized & better than ever way to help in Mpls/ St Paul/ Greater MN. Taking submissions on the site & everything. Look for the ones with non-English language & unfunded, small amounts because they're not getting the love they need.

It's literally up to wh*te people if they want to leave their fucking cult. So yes, there is, but it's pie in the sky because 27% of this country wants mass genocide, and it's a very monochromatic set jerking off to genocide fantasies daily. You want to say not all wh*te people? SHOW THE WORLD.

Just a shout out for the unaware: saying you are 'apolitical' means you are for the status quo, and is a red flag to most minorities. If you genuinely are apolitical, I would strongly recommend you start paying attention.

Everyone, read this story by @naomikritzer.bsky.social right now. About how a South Minneapolis neighborhood stands together in a crisis. Audiobook also included at the link.

May ICE enjoy the Arctic - I spent winter in hospital with pneumonia when my P.E. teacher insisted on outdoor sports in -5 below. Gaiters aren't gonna help, my guys. youtube.com/shorts/t439f...

Hello #PortfolioDay ! I'm Zoe, a fantasy illustrator from Italy, looking for more work on book illustrations, as well as TTRPGs and games! I'm available for both commercial and private commissions. Find me here: 🎨 cara.app/zoebadini 📩[email protected]

Oooof. Pray for me; I have been putting off trying to learn Procreate Dreams - I don't learn things as well as I used to, which frustrates me - but it's time. I am telling myself it can't be worse than Blender, and I didn't tap out on Blender until about 12 hours in, so I'm in with a chance.

People in Cornwall still without power, water, or heating - and apparently we're in "lessons will be learned" territory because this wasn't important enough for a COBRA meeting: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The only thing that ever stopped the bullies when I was a kid was doing strength training and dragging the worst of them through a bus window I smashed out with my fist. You have to hit them as hard as you dare. You can't ignore them. Then, they never touch you again. Just sayin'.

I think the reason we have not seen Frey, Her, and Walz change their orientations on exercising the use of state policing power to repel the federal occupation is that to do so would be to admit the State Patrol, National Guard, MPD, SPPD, et al., are de facto not actually under their command.

For Renee Nicole Good, for her wife, child, city, country, and every person she died to protect... it's fundraiser time. I'm giving $1 to Community Aid Network MN for each repost this gets. AND $1 for each new follower I get. And if YOU donate to Community Aid Network MN, tell me and I'll match it.

As a writer, I find it difficult to articulate myself in a regular conversation. I end up confusing people or making the wrong point. If I need to make sense, I'm writing a text or an email- a message that I've read, edited, deleted, and started over dozens of times before I hit send.

Someone inside DHS leaked the names of 4,500 ICE and CBP officers to a nonprofit that tracks ICE. About 80 percent of those name are active. www.rawstory.com/ice-agents-d...

Thread of remote ways to support Minneapolis

A reminder that my strip took over Dilberts vacant spot in the Washington Post after they dropped his ass. 😎 www.stlpr.org/show/st-loui...

Okay. I need a boost here. Looking for artists. We're talking about some potential comic book style art and/or concept art for the #iHunt film. We're privately funding development, so budget isn't Hollywood. I want queer and/or nonwhite artists. I want cool styles. Links? Tags? Self-promo?

Thinking about that time the My Little Pony comics, of all things, absolutely bodied Scott Adams.

The Scottish Government has agreed to both key @scottishgreens.org tax proposals: ✈️ A new tax on the 12,000 private jet flights taken in Scotland every year 🏰 A 'Mansion Tax' on £1 million+ homes This will raise millions for services like schools and our NHS.

@stephencollins.bsky.social made the point best

one day I'll finish the script and film my long video essay on white media people harping on "cancel culture" as a form of anti-Blackness because it really did boil down to "Black people scary"

I just sent copies of my Mvskoke Nation citizenship card and my certificate of degree of Indian blood to 5 trusted people. Natives I suggest you do the same.

Storm battering the lochside again, but we are on the lee-side of it. I am very, very thankful for my hyperspecific studying of weather patterns for four months before we ever moved to Scotland, because the last thing I wanted to do was put us directly in the path of Beast of the East annual storms.

Holy shit, Anthem Executive Producer Mark Darrah just posted a nearly FOUR HOUR postmortem of Anthem www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cxwr...

In Minneapolis

The British Medical Journal (BMJ) covers our letter calling for respirator use in healthcare to protect patients and staff (reporting by Elisabeth Mahase). I’ve shared The Guardian coverage in a separate post. www.bmj.com/content/392/...

please support pow wow grounds! they were getting hassled by ICE the other week as well (as our Indigenous relatives have been targeted heavily by ICE as well) & AIM patrols have utilized this space as a hub during community safety patrols.

behold this artistry: a thread

This would require Keir Starmer to not be the biggest wimp in Wimpdom and we already know that he has a shit track record for having a backbone, especially towards Trump. He and the UK government should take Doctrow’s advice and I hope they do, but I’m not holding my breath.

And some cunt in my feed was trying to tell me what a strong, independent country the UK is a few days ago. Child, please...the UK doesn't make anything, doesn't own anything, and doesn't sell anything anyone wants.

This is not incorrect. It was so sparse here, you'd run out of content. I also came in via invite code. And if there was something we should have absolutely kept, it was invite codes.

Was thinking on what literature shaped us as children, and I mentioned several, but one I very much slept on (and I shouldn't have) was Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. The movie scared the hell out of me as a kid. It's not a fantasy story - it's a study of morality and control.

Thanks to all the folks who got me to the lady’s goal this week. It freed me up to help Marty. Please send him a donation and I’ll get it sent right along to him. He needs the help. I’ll keep updating till it’s reached. Watch Michelle Robinson’s short video explaining the situation in the meantime.

Me and Slartibartfast, forever working on the Fiddly Bits.

I’m not even talking about wearing one all the time, or talking to people who aren’t in spaces that discuss these things! I’m talking about a few hours out of your day, to people who I *know* have heard all the reasons and still just flat-out won’t do it.

not to be disabled and grumpy on main this morning but I would have a lot more hope for collective action in this country if leftists who have been repeatedly begged to do so would show me they’re willing to wear masks for a couple of hours in public spaces like protests and doctor’s offices

We've got a sunrise double rainbow, folks

I might be wrong, but I haven't seen anyone in St Paul talking about ICE hitting them over and over again. For those who don't know, St Paul is, predominantly, white and middle class, or was back when I lived there in the 80s. Minneapolis is where a lot of Black and Global Majority live.

Hi, Mohammed's friend here. He asked me to upload this video for him to show you the situation in his camp right now. Please share and donate if you can; they need all the help they can get. chuffed.org/project/help...

A little good news today. For the first time since December 2000, the entire state of California is no longer either entering or recovering from a drought! That's 25 years of drought conditions. www.drought.gov/states/calif...

Ok, if we all finally admit that Twitter sucks, we can also talk about Substack again, aye?

/run DOS

Oh, this look amazing! store.steampowered.com/app/4285930/... Not only it's a RPG set in modern-day India, exploring their folklore & myths, it's also made by a team of Indians who have a channel of animated videos on Asian history: www.youtube.com/channel/UCpZ...

Vancouverites - sharing this widely! It's about time. If other dentists want more business, it's time to adapt to meet the reality we're living in 🦷

ICE killed a Black man, Keith Porter, 7 days before Renee Good, and I hadn't heard about it until today. His vigils went unnoticed. His life came and gone and America forgot to blink. Two Americas.
