Change of venue! Due to an accidental double booking at River Bottoms, Pride Is Still A Riot will now be at All People's Church.

Thread on screwworm. Note the date. Once again, a functional Gov would have stopped this.

‘Crime’ and ‘criminal’ are inherently regressive terms that do a great deal of political work by yoking things together that are very different things while obscuring other related things.

Okay I hate to do this but tiny #MutualAid goal of $17 to 20 for meds I need, consider stopping by my kofi shop and getting all my zines in digital format <3 I was able to afford my website payment with patreon funds but couldnt sqweeze meds out of it too. Thanks for sharing! ko-fi.com/s/5bc2f345ad

Nobody is born Islamophobic. Islamophobic children are made and will continue to be made in a society that treats Islamophobia as a bipartisan norm and even sometimes social good. Islamaphobic children with access to guns are made possible by an Islamophobic society that loves guns.

Detlef Van Vuuren said this himself: "you could argue that the old RCP8.5 in terms of emissions was less likely, but-in terms-of temperature was still having a function.” Van Vuuren now wants people to plug the (lower) high emissions scenario into climate models w high sensitivity and feedbacks. 🫩

With permission from one of my habeas clients, I can share that the Bloomington Police Department is proactively cooperating with ICE to detain our neighbors. This is a screenshot of official ICE records which show that a BPD officer reached out to ICE to drop a dime on someone in local custody.

Scientists especially might also want to emphasize that the scenarios that lead to different forcings are hypothetical tools, whose main purpose is to feed into the earth system models to study climate processes under varied emission trajectories. They are NOT real assessments of the situation.

Moving forward, PELASE remember that downplaying the danger of climate change only helps the climate deniers. That’s why they’ve all jumped on this. Please undo the damage done! Please trumpet that 3C by 2100 is catastrophic (and just a step to more heating w/out fossil phaseout and net zero).

Why yes, yes I did. Which is there’s a whole chapter on the propaganda around “Climate Alarmism” and the debate over RCP8.5 in The Language of Climate Politics. Trump’s tweet would have been fantastic evidence for my argument had it appeared circa 2023.

Denton.social is currently down because we let the balance on the autopay account get too low. Sorry about the inconvenience. We'll be back online as soon as the folks at Masto.Host flip the switch.

Good.

The New York Times writes about transgender people a lot, and yet it rarely talks to them. www.advocate.com/news/new-yor...

"Why are all the journalists laid off now" this is why. Pretty simple.

liberal shooter makes a lot of sense because you’re primed to see trump as a unique problem instead of a systemic outcome (which also has many other manifestations)

The administration is constantly faking, dissembling, pseudo-eventing, Debording, Baudrillarding, just outright flim-flamming. When it bothers to fake anything at all as opposed to just Grandpa posting an AI video of himself poop bombing

❗️BREAKING: Explosions are heard in the capital of Iran, Tehran.

To any Democrat who ever said about any issue, "Maybe if we agree with Republicans just this far, they'll stop there," remember that you were wrong, it was obvious at the time, and you really should never believe that again about any issue, ever.

also, with love and respect for my friends and colleagues who do great work at large national LGBTQ orgs ...they do not need your money and they will not use it efficiently to defend the most marginalized queer and trans people plz panic-give to the frontlines & mutual aid orgs, not the big NGOs

To be clear: a rabid MAGA judge is interrogating and throwing out any jurors who might be inclined to reject the absurd trumped up terrorism charges against random people who merely attended the same noise demo. And he has aggressively contrived to do this secretly.

ICE killed a teacher in Georgia today when they chose to chase a man who posed no danger and had no criminal history.

Much of my youth revolved around the website ZineLibrary. It went down around Occupy in a massive loss for a movement whose ideas and knowledge mostly doesn't circulate online but in person. Anyway I've put it back online with a *thousand* anarchist zines: zinelibrary.org

If the main thing you're trying to replace from Discord is structured text chats and video conferencing, then you want to look at is Matrix. If the main thing you're trying to replace is voice channels with push-to-talk, then the thing want to look at is Mumble (probably with your biggest nerd).

ICE invasion made an epic use case for anarchists and abolition.

Rojava’s grassroots experiment in revolutionary autonomy is facing an existential threat from a new Damascus offensive, and organizers warn that even with a ceasefire, the real danger is that global solidarity will fade.

Rotisserie chicken is $5 at Costco. 20% on a small but newer model home where I live costs 20K rotisserie chickens. And I’m in a comparably “affordable” area. 20K rotisserie chickens btw, would feed a family for 50+ yrs. But sure, it’s the chicken, juice, was the avocado toast. What a joke.

FIVE of the Israeli bobsled team are mass murderers, and carried out the Nasser hospital triple tap bombing.

Today marks one month since ICE mercenary Jonathan Ross murdered Renee Good. It was not the first public execution ICE carried out. But because rapid responders caught it on film and angry locals forced ICE to withdraw after, there can be no question about what happened. Resisting makes us safer.

Boswell High School kids walked out to protect ICE. Abbott, Paxton, and the TEA threatened schools, teachers, and kids with penalties. Proud of you, kids! www.cbsnews.com/texas/video/...

Richard Dawkins. Steven Pinker. Lawrence Krauss. Jonathan Haidt. Robert Trivers. Prominent atheists and scientists who have pushed anti-trans propaganda for years. They all had ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Some received huge research grants and island trips, and all of them benefited from their ties.

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

There are devices you can snag for <$40 on AliExpress that run Rockbox, the old firmware you used to jailbreak iPods with.
