GAZA IS DROWNING IN RAIN WATER AND THEY ARE ALL IN TENTS AND ISRAEL IS STILL FIRING ON PEOPLE AND THIS ISN'T A MAJOR NEWS STORY BECAUSE OF RACISM

For Seattle folks — look for this the next time you’re at The Moore Theater. The second balcony has a separate entry, and separate stairways serving it as well and can be closed off entirely from the Lobby.

There was a tiktok account that showed the architecture around the country built for segregation that are hidden in plain sight. Like walk up windows at diners, separate entrances at movie theaters, etc.

One of the things that you see at the International Civil Rights Center & Museum in Greensboro, North Carolina is a Jim Crow era Coke machine that was designed to fit into a segregated bus station. One machine two sides. The Coke cost more on the Black side.

There’s an urgent need for blood in the aftermath of the Brown University shooting If you can give, please do If you can’t, please spread the word Its terrifying to think how bad this shooting might be if they need an urgent call for blood, but the more people donating the more lives we can save

23 Democrats vote NO on Trump impeachment. The man is literally enacting fascism, funding genocide, abandoning our allies, and invading Venezuela—& they’re fine with that. Primary every one of these fascism enablers. Vote them out of office. Who needs MAGAs with Complicit Corporate Democrats? ⬇️

I’ve heard from immigration attorneys that clients say ICE guards lay out the WRAP device (essentially a full-body straitjacket) on the tarmac as a threat — “do what we say or you’re getting the WRAP on the whole flight.” And here’s proof, from Seattle livestream today via @lalabote.bsky.social.
