Génesis de las Olas

Black residents of Oakland never stopped getting punished for the BPP.

University sidelines scientist who exposed toxic metals in Lake Maurepas The SELU scientist who discovered alarming levels of toxic chemicals in Lake Maurepas was abruptly removed from her research position without explanation.

A university scientist who discovered alarming levels of toxic chemicals in a lake in southeastern Louisiana was abruptly removed from her research position this week without explanation

Free Turtle Island, stop associating with the concept of the US. Stay you live on “Occupied ____ peoples land” or Occupied Turtle Island.

A lot of climate erosion is made possible by labeling land defenders as terrorists and deeply criminalizing activity to preserve the earth. Everyday ppl are robbed of their imagination. we have to stop being like “this is terrible” and start sabotaging.

Target FORGOT TO WRITE COPY for their pride line this year i’m obsessed with how much big box stores dgaf and have stopped pretending to

kind of obsessed with 2025 pride merch...I'm calling it cowardcore.

What are the steps to Unionize/Collectivize your work, living and creative lives? There is no mass action without a network of collectives working in tandem.

With a negative -$2.00 in my acct, no direct action affinity group, and no nation sized army, the calls for help at gaza really making me feel useless. sure i can do art builds and creative interventions but the shit livestreamed- what more images do people need??

getting paid biweekly is fucking annoying- who made this the standard?

Containment in the bay is allowing cultural businesses and some murals to remind ppl of the identity of place- but restrict the fuck out the people who made the culture.

Why is it necessary to expel culture to attract affluent yt ppl? Why do they need erasure and/or containment so badly.

A disposability politic doesnt disappear Black, Brown, and Asian communities- it takes neighborhoods and forces sterilizes them to make it “better” for who?

How is this place both expensive and seedy? Its like the whole pricing people out doesnt magically make a place a white haven, just makes systemic issues worse.

Oakland is a case study in how gentrication’s hopes and dream is a complete flop

Love is in the air.

We have to move like we love the future. A Free Black Republic is a future vision that has been fought for by many on this land- esp in the 1811 Revolt. what if we revisit this vision? What of we love it?

Death to the colonial era of punishing the African diaspora for being steadfast in freeing themselves. From Haiti, to Oakland, to New Orleans. Bring on the revolutionary Free Black Republic. The land wants this just as much as she wants to return to her first stewards.

South American Indigenous land defenders say a death is the movement is the person becoming Sown.Tortuguita is sown. What does it mean to witness genocide and see how martyrs becoming sown as well?

Sinners is a 5/10 for me. So many amazing storytelling elements that were fumbled by script. It was too digitally enhanced/ CGI and likely AI use. It left me craving the story as a 2D animation or like a warm 1990s film quality. I dont need live action if it feels plastic. 😵‍💫

We have baby Great Blue Herons at the rookery! This adult Great Blue Heron is warning away another Great Blue Heron who landed too close to the nest and the nestlings.

Happy Mother's Day.

There needs to be an Titi/ Auntie’s day. Would make sense to be in June along with Pride.

Target Boycott Extended Indefinitely Church leaders started the boycott for Lent — but now, they say, there’s no end in sight.

With Lent now over, and Christians able to resume their vices, churches throughout the country are now pivoting from a Target fast into a full-on boycott of the retailer.

“Forty days is not the end, it’s the benchmark."

Healing your inner child, is resurrecting your adolescence. Especially if you were a Teen in the 1990s, Gen X please light that fire. We actually need yall so much right now.

I also think how often adults kill their inner Teen in favor of being able to handle being exploited by capitalism. The mentally clearest era of understanding of the bullshit of the adult world should NEVER leave your spirit. Such a lost for you and Youth today.

Authoritarianism has its roots in dominate Parenting. People are chumps bc their parents instilled cowardliness in them. If you had a shitty Father that you did everything to please-you as an adult is likely to fall over and take it from the State today.

its nasty in the Bay rn, hella orgs and tech are laying off. please be more mindful when yall push Southern trans people to unroot themselves for CA. it not easier and the financial risk might result in being more unsafe. Show solidarity and send support to radical Southerners instead pleasee!!

As a wetland lover, “Drain the Swamp” is bad phrase for talking about eradicating yt supremacy. Actually draining the swamp is a violent and a labor historically done by kidnapped enslaved Africans. The swamps are not “wrong” for being flooded- forced terraforming for
the settler class is.
