Do not get it twisted. The REAL change we are seeing right now, and which we need to sustain, is the revealing of how much we have the power to care & provide for each other in ways the state has continually abdicated its supposed responsibility to do in order to consolidate power.

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

The regime will lie. That's what fascist regimes do.

It will continue to murder people in different ways. That's also what fascist regimes do.

Regular people will continue to refuse and to not cooperate and to fight back in all of the ways we can.

/6 Watch, as this unfolds, two key things: (1) how blatantly the Gestapo will lie, and demand that you ignore what you can see plainly, and (2) how uselessly, how pathetically, how impotently the media will treat those lies and dither at this murder, craven publicists to evil.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

They always close ranks. Cops do not protect you.

They are extremely unpopular, unable to significantly expand their forces (they are already poaching local police for ICE and reassigning significant percentages of FBI/ATF toward enforcement), lacking in organizational resilience and one bum ticker/blood clot away from total movement collapse

We should be applauding people who break rules to stop what's happening. Failing to break rules is what's worthy of critique right now. That's the stuff people should have an explanation for — and I know, some do, and that's fine, but the absolute moral minimum is supporting those who resist.

ICE and CBP will have a heavy presence in Wake County starting tomorrow. These are actions that can be done in under 15 minutes and know your rights information. Please read the information and share with others.

Use Ojonc.org which tracks ICE and CBP activity that is verified.

They used the equivalent energy consumption of the entire 19th century melting stadiums full of the world's most advanced processing chips in order to make a computer that cant do math

None of these politicians will ever be without healthcare or anything they need or want. That makes my blood boil that they have power over so many. They'll never taste suffering.

Resign.

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years.

Pinochet was ousted with a referendum.

And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists.

Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

257. The Commission recommends that all Member States: (a) Employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent the commission of genocide in the Gaza Strip; (b) Cease the transfer of arms and other equipment or items, including jet fuel, to the State of Israel or third States where there is reason to suspect their use in military operations that have involved or could involve the commission of genocide; (c) Ensure individuals and corporations in their territories and within their jurisdiction are not involved in the commission of genocide, aiding and assisting the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide and investigate and prosecute those who may be implicated in these crimes under international law; (d) Facilitate the investigations and domestic proceedings and take action (including imposing sanctions) against the State of Israel and against individuals or corporations that are involved in or facilitating the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide; (e) Cooperate with the investigation of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. 258. The Commission recommends that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court: (a) Examine, within its continuing investigation in the Situation in the State of Palestine, the crime of genocide for amendment to existing arrest warrants and addition to future application for arrest warrants; (b) Examine the involvement of officials mentioned in this report for inclusion as those most responsible for international crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territory.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

A lot of people are still here and haven't been detained because of the organizing work that's gone on in this city. The objectives of our enemies are not inevitable. We need to think about how we are going to push back, narratively and strategically, rather than falling into despair.

Psychedelic electronic concept album (my favorite), epic orchestral sci-fi concept album (everyone else's favorite), or calmer nature-inspired IDM to listen to :) I've also composed a lot of classical piano but only have that on my youtube audreylogsdon.bandcamp.com

My wife (a snake enjoyer) said it looks like an eastern rat snake. According to her they are "very friendly and derpy snakes."

LD is easily the best trek of the past 25 years, no contest, fight me. I would have the same problem!

Social Movements Are Physically Reclaiming Spaces to Replace the State More than a way of protest, social movements are occupying spaces to challenge authority and fight against oppression.

The more people are excluded from effective participation in traditional politics, the more it makes sense to pursue tactics like creating counteroccupations which aim to replace the state.

There’s so much all of us could be if we weren’t all living under threat of being slowly wiped from society at large, deprived of what we need to function, denied authority over our own flesh and blood

Congrats (on the first part at least)! My condolences for the second, lol

[“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don’t we consider it his duty to escape? The moneylenders, the know-nothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can.”]

Ursula le Guin, on the accusation that fantasy is an escape from reality

It already looks gorgeous!!

Three pairs of dark eyes sit overlaid on top of each other staring at the viewer, with a singular set of fierce brows conveying a brooding intensity. Various colors and textures are rendered in the background, mostly in electric swirls, with a central conveyer belt of eyes leading through its center.

Trippy painting that was a lot of fun ^_^
