The funniest thing about this is how legit terrified ICE looks.

Just finished my fifth game of the excellent new General Orders: Sengoku Jidai! Beautifully produced (cute wooden ships!), intensely tactical, and well paced. Thanks to @djackthompson.bsky.social, @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social, and @ospreygames.bsky.social for another wonderful design.

No one should be being arrested by ICE, and also, that's a fucking alarming statistic.

#OnThisDay, 5 Oct 1789, thousands of women instigate and lead the March on Versailles.

They - along with revolutionaries who join them - besiege the Palace to demand cheap bread.

I have so much respect for Greta Thunberg because she easily could have coasted on speaking gigs and Davos appearances for the rest of her life

queen shit, rest in peace

Incredible @perrybaconjr.bsky.social interview with Chris Van Hollen

Leviathan @l3vlat4an X.com Greta Thunberg donned a keffiyeh with an "AUTISM" T-shirt that included an image of a skeleton dual wielding automatic rifles before she left on her flotilla. What do you think she was trying to convey with this t-shirt? AUTISM

That she's cool as fuck?

Israel accused of detaining Greta Thunberg in infested cell and making her hold flags Activist tells Swedish officials she has been subjected to harsh treatment, including insufficient food and water

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

For a sense of scale, in America this would be 12 million people on strike. If only.

The only bathroom ban I support.

All charges brought against protesters at Broadview today must be dropped. When cops and agents attack crowds without provocation, they make shit up to justify their attacks (in his case, an attack waged on a cooperative crowd to produce fascist social media content). These charges must be dropped.

Slavery before the Civil War? Hardly a widely accepted and honored institution. Julius Caesar's genocidal conquest of Gaul? Not everyone liked it, including some who objected on moral grounds. Japanese internment? Read the dissents in Korematsu.

One of the things I always find telling is the idea that we have to judge past people by the standards of their time, as if the fact that they did bad things means that everyone thought it was okay. They didn't. Pretty much every obviously evil act had people saying that it was, in fact, bad.
