Like that it’s GONE AGAIN! Real humans at Tiktok decided I did nothing wrong, and yet it was taken down again and now I can’t even appeal it. So here it is. Reuploading on this post for convenience.

With cellphone cameras and tip lines, D.C. residents find small ways to fight ICE How neighbors and school communities are organizing against the immigration crackdown.

Residents are finding all sorts of ways to fight ICE: They're recording and reporting. They're wheatpasting and sharing know-your-rights materials. And they're stepping up to care for each other, from delivering groceries to walking kids to school. 51st.news/dc-residents...

To Lay Me Down, by Dathon from the album Our Trip Is Short Vol. 8: Jerry Breathes

A little cover of the Dead’s “to lay me down” I made for a compilation last year. Assembled from several layers of me playing a 1/4 size acoustic guitar outside in northern Michigan

The only fair way to handle this is to appoint a team of teenagers to tear this company limb from limb until we find out what kind of financial damage they are hiding and where

Target takes a hit: $12.4 billion in value lost after boycott Economic blackout over company shuttering diversity commitment

Target’s stock plummeted by ~ $27.27 per share by the end of February, erasing about $12.4 billion in market value.

The drop came on Feb. 28, the designated economic blackout day, and coincided with mounting backlash over the retailer’s decision to abandon its DEI commitments.

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

Trump Bid to Take Over Postal Service Could Threaten Mail Voting Read more here.

President Donald Trump may soon attempt to absorb the USPS, an independent agency, into his administration. The order could allow the Trump administration to make mail voting — which was used by tens of millions of voters last year — more difficult.

"Developing a device that could treat severe bleeding. It seems to have caught the committee’s attention for using the words “victims” — as in gunshot victims — and “trauma.” Creating biosensors to detect infectious diseases. The grant appears to have been tagged for the repeated use of “POC,” an acronym often used for “people of color” but in this context meaning “point of care” — that is, the place where people receive medical treatment — and “barrier,” referring to a part of the biosensor itself. Designing eye-tracking technology for diagnosing and treating concussions. It appears to have gotten flagged for referencing “traumatic” brain injuries and the “status,” meaning the condition, of patients."

ProPublica looked into science grants that Ted Cruz's team flagged as "radical" and "neo-Marxist" and, uh.

I’ve been designing 3D printed stencils with lefty/activist slogans and uploading them to Thingiverse. Every so often I’ll get a *very sane* comment like these. It cracks me tf up and makes me want to design more and more. Love that even just the Thingiverse posts are getting reactions.

We couldn’t even finish it. I can’t remember the last time I turned off SNL.

here’s a ton of stencil designs made for 3D printers. they could be used for protests, posters, and other *strictly legal activities*. they are sturdy and should last a long time. perfect for repeated use for, again, *strictly legal activities*
