Something that more people need to embrace about the importance of public library organizing is that it's a good foundation to organize for other public goods. We need to explicitly connect library organizing with parks organizing as just one example and so on and so forth...

My poem “Dandelions” was accepted for the latest issue of Voicemail Poems! Hop over to their website for a listen!

Trump attacks Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, Alex Jones and others in a long post calling them “NUT JOBS”

I think it's bad for the President to threaten to annihilate an entire culture and i do not think you are being alarmist if you take his threats seriously and literally.

Like a lot of small businesses in our region, Firestorm has been in financial distress for the last year. Hurricane Helene was our tipping point, but local cost of living increases, inflation, and higher occupancy costs are huge contributors. 1/9

LOLOLOL

Elon made the world's most un-sellable "truck." He hasn't developed a new car in years. He just shut down production of two models and he can barely sell the cars he is making. So now it's the pipe dream of "automation" keeping his meme stock afloat 🙄 #TeslaTakedown www.theverge.com/transportati...

@cbsnews.com: Agents were pursuing an immigrant when they killed Alex Pretti. Now, he shares his story. By Cara Tabachnick, Camilo Montoya-Galvez

Protest music really is back.

so a LOT of what's been released are anonymous reports and with a case this famous you are gonna get some nuts sending in nonsense. but the repeated references to Robin Leach, Trump and Epstein at the Rancho Palos Verdes golf club make it pretty clear a bunch went on there involving those people.

This matches exactly with what I have heard from people in Dilley.

I remember hearing about his story last year. A travesty. www.11alive.com/article/news...

tfw the regime accidentally does free propaganda for your guys

Ah yes, letting the secret police just do night raids surely fixes the problem

The disparities in these numbers are fucking terrible. A quantification of how much more valuable a white and then American life is than an immigrant POC. Links to fundraisers in thread. bsky.app/profile/last...

Better things are possible, and if we keep pushing, we'll get to see this motherfucker getting perp-walked in a couple of years on his way to some well-earned justice for his many crimes

It's really distressing the extent to which in all of this Silverio Villegas González, the first man to be murdered by ICE in the streets, has been almost completely forgotten Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

As we grieve for Alex Pretti and Renee Good in MN, please do not forget Victor Manuel Diaz, who died in ICE custody after being taken from here. And all others who have died in their custody.

but wait, I was assured by some of the dumbest assholes in the history of the world that it can only be fascism if its practitioners can state, in the king's english, their precise rationales for acting as they do, and cite their historical precedents by name and year

They killed an ICU nurse whose last act was helping someone up.

seems fairly clear that the ICE guys have been told by somebody "if you kill somebody, local police aren't allowed to investigate the scene, and you need to obstruct them"

You know me I don't share fundraisers unless I can tell you I trust them with my whole heart and my own wallet. This one gets protective gear to legal observers in Minneapolis / Saint Paul www.gofundme.com/f/help-equip...

Yall outside of MN need to know that observers are STILL out protecting their neighbors. Right now. They know the news and they’re still out there.

they’re abducting our neighbors and putting them in concentration camps and they’ll empty a whole goddamn magazine into you while you’re lying on the ground if you don’t cheer them on while they’re fucking doing it.

Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing? ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW. I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

it's cool that so many people in positions of power and influence were so negatively polarized by "wokeness" that they convinced themselves that there was an actual debate about who wanted to erase history and the "wokes" were on the wrong side bsky.app/profile/arch...

as a general rule, avoid pics of protests. this is because of safety, for both you and anyone in your pictures. these pics will be seen by feds, and will be scoured through. (1/2)

Ed Zitron on big tech, backlash, boom and bust: ‘AI has taught us that people are excited to replace human beings’

This is pure, unabashed bigotry. If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party. But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence. A stain on our Congress.

Not headline news. No real fuss by Democratic leaders. No calls to censure. No pushback. No questions asked of GOP leadership by the press. Just totally accepted anti-Muslim bigotry across the board.

These are concentration camps. And these are the numbers they're comfortable sharing.

If you cancel an election you're asking for a revolution

It's ... a lot.

Two trans women have faced torture, bigotry and horrific conditions since arrested as part of the infamous Prairieland crackdown on anti-ICE protest. They tell TNN about surviving behind bars, as @thefreeradical.org delves into the absurd attack on "antifa" that's just about criminalizing dissent:

In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold, Greater than the might of armies, magnified a thousand-fold. We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old For the union makes us strong. Solidarity forever, for the union makes us strong.

NEW: GoFundMe strictly bans fundraisers for “the legal defense of financial and violent crimes,” yet is currently running one “to help pay for any legal services” for the ICE agent who killed Renee Nicole Good. Its conflict is not even the least bit contestable.

Ike Muringal of Minneapolis was forcibly taken to a detention facility in El Paso, TX by ICE. please donate to his fundraiser here to support his legal and travel costs. 💔

there is no positive route forward for the United States without mass arrests and trials for DHS employees

wow really helpful, thank you new york times

REVOLUTIONARY LETTER #90 Ancient History The women are lying down in front of the bulldozers sent to destroy the last of the olive groves. —Diane di Prima

The source that informed me of this said the Border Patrol officer in question claimed the victims were trying to run him over in their car, which is why he shot.

'Close to death': What 60 days on hunger strike is doing to Palestine Action prisoners - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/palestine-action-linked-activists-60-days-hunger-strike-damage

Wrote a piece for @slate.com explaining that states have a long history of prosecuting federal officers when they allegedly use excessive force. Federal officers are only immune from such prosecutions when they act reasonably in carrying out lawful duties.

The fact that the protests are this large on sub one day notice in the middle of winter is a sign that Renee Nicole Good is on the side of the people and that in the depths of our dispair we must remember that are going to fucking win Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

This is a vetted fundraiser for the family of Renee Good, the woman who was killed by ICE in Minneapolis. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

It's wild to think that the US killed all those people in the boat strikes, and spent millions in a military campaign, just to end up with essentially the same outcome as the "chavismo lite" deal that Delcy & Jorge offered the US through Qatar last year.
