it's actually really fucked that basically everyone in the US is suddenly being forced to mourn a nazi or lose their job or livelihood, i've never seen anything even close to this for any other shooting or death in the US during my lifetime

On the right is the cover, a megaphone with the title text β€œPROTEST SAFELY.” Behind it are faceless protestors. The subtitle notes, β€œA brief collection of tips from around the internet.”

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out πŸ‘€βš–οΈ

NOT. SWIM GOGGLES.

Friends.

Do not wear swim goggles at a protest.

If you take a projectile to the face the force can pop your eyeball out of its socket.

If you're going to invest in protest eyewear, use impact resistant safety goggles and tape the vents.

Not too many Black folks will be surprised that the very first civilian Trump’s Marines detained in Los Angeles was a Black man.

Today my 8YO started telling me excitedly about β€œnon-berry” people. She informed me:

- it’s wrong to call them β€œhe” or β€œshe” because they use them/they pronouns
- They’re not boys or girls
- They have a flag and it’s gray and purple and yellow and white
- they all believe in ghosts

Rereading @danmcquillan.bsky.social and: "What's at stake with AI is not merely bias and unfairness but assimilation into far-right political projects. For fascist ideologues who glorify violence, AI's tendencies towards epistemic, structural and administrative violence are not flaws but features."

French scientist denied US entry after phone messages critical of Trump found France’s research minister said the scientist was traveling to Houston for a conference when his phone was searched

No one should travel to the US.

We have become a dangerous country controlled by a deranged despot.

Do not contribute to Trump’s economy.

Washington, DC, to remove 'Black Lives Matter' painting from street near White House, mayor says The nation's capital city will remove the large painting of the words β€œBlack Lives Matter” on a street one block from the White House.

πŸ’”They want to erase our painβ€” as if the lives lost, the cries for justice, and the weight of centuries of oppression can be painted over. That mural carried the grief of every mother who buried a son, every father broken by injustice. Erasing it means erasing themβ€”and we cannot let that happen.πŸ–€
