ReΓ­rse del espaΓ±ol de AOC, incluso del de Mamdani, es prueba inequΓ­voca de haberse tragado cΓ³mo se vende en EspaΓ±a lo β€œhispano/latino” como derivada directa de eso que llaman la β€œHispanidad”, amΓ©n de creer que el ΓΊnico espaΓ±ol vΓ‘lido es el de EspaΓ±a. Y, una vez mΓ‘s, desconocer la realidad de USA.

The Axiom, the ship from the movie Wall-E.

The experience of this winter in Colorado is so jarring, watching everywhere get cold and snowy and here it just feels like a warm desert with zero precipitation and like Spring weather and knowing we’re gonna have no water and the climate apocalypse is here and like time to get on the Axiom.

Violent and non-violent death tolls for the Gaza conflict: new primary evidence from a population-representative field survey This first independent population survey of mortality in the Gaza Strip shows that violent deaths have substantially exceeded official figures whereas the demographic composition of casualties aligns ...

This new Lancet study would indicate that the death toll in Gaza is actually around 120,000 at minimum, if the undercount rate is similar since January 2025.

Desecrating memorial sites and graves is a standard tool in ethnic cleansing and genocide and all kinds of other aspirations of erasing humans and communities and their memory. Absolutely fuck that.

MAP: All 23 industrial warehouses ICE wants to turn into detention β€˜death camps’ In an apparent attempt to avoid public outcry and scrutiny, ICE has sought to secure these leases in private. So we made a searchable map of every proposed site.

DHS is building a network of death camps around the country often in secret, violating public safety/health codes, & despite resident objections.

β€œIf they are going to house people there, it is a death camp. I don’t say that lightly,” said AZ Sen. Analise Ortiz. β€œ

If it is not clear, they are arresting Black activists & journalists b/c they can’t deport them legally & state terror can serve a dual purpose of chilling dissent & labeling Black folks as rioters (read-anti nationals)./1

Minneapolis should press its momentum and demand not only withdrawal but start talking about the need for immediate reparations, loudly, with the total certainty that only winners have. "You have wronged us terribly and must pay recompense" and let them argue the second part.

This is a very good thing. Aurora (2nd largest city in CO) just closed their schools because so many of their teachers are going be gone on Friday.

Encourage folks to stay home if they can.
