Did you know the founder of Black History Month was from West Virginia?

If you believe Black history belongs in the Mountain State, too, grab one and help spread the message.๐Ÿ–ค

Idk how many folks I know, including myself, that when dental care started being practiced it was followed by so many other positive life changes.

Yesterday was officially the first feels-like-summer day of '26. 80ยฐ temps. Went to a new trail. Road to the trailhead was flooded, trail was mostly loose shale and piles of leaves but had some nice views. Basically the perfect Appalachian summer adventure day ๐ŸŒž๐Ÿถ

The Battle for Ungdomshuset 12 years ago, the Danish police stormed the historic social center Ungdomshuset in one of the biggest military operations in Danish historyโ€”and lost.

Tomorrow is March 8, International Women's Day.

In 1910, Clara Zetkin proposed this event at an international womenโ€™s conference at Folkets Hus, headquarters of the Danish labor movement.

That building later became the historic autonomous social center Ungdomshuset.

In a time of fascism empathy and compassion are seen radical.

All of Rosa's writings were destroyed by fascist.

One benefit of living in our time is I am confident that the geeks and anarchists will digitally archive all the words of revolution. Even if our internet is censored radical materials will still be disseminated via irc and zines ๐Ÿ’พ๐Ÿ“šโœŠ

Tbh I think the state Dem party bailed on him and almost all left leaning candidates. But also him running for president in '20 was kinda a waste of time imo.

Prairieland ICE shooting trial jury gets closer look at 'antifa' materials defendants owned Anti-fascism, anarchy and the abolition of ICE were common themes in literature and paraphernalia investigators found in the defendants' homes and cars.

โ€œZines are really like this little atomic unit of freedom of the press with simple pamphlets that you just pass around. It begs the question of whether the prosecution believes that we should have a First Amendment in the first placeโ€ #ZinesAreNotACrime

Good review! It was a great idea to talk to rural lawyers. I know how much the only two lawyers in my rural county for decades made a difference (one good one not so much). Absolutely agree it would be valuable to see a focus on Appalachian rural lawyers, I would read that!

An upcoming California law requires operating system providers to enforce basic mandatory age verification It's basic, and by the looks of it, near unenforceable.

The judges in WV have seen enough.

They say that if the ICE continues detaining people in ways they have unanimously deemed illegal they will start issuing civil fines and contempt findings โ€” including against state officials who help them carry it out.

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

The powers that be in the US (both sides) will never publicly say they want to abandon economic growth to work toward lessening the impact of climate change. Half of them see melting ice just as more access to exploit resources ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

How extremists reconquered Idaho in the age of Trumpโ€”and how some locals are fighting back โ€œWho the fuck are these men?โ€

NEW: One year ago, we caught a peek of MAGA authoritarianism when men roughly dragged a woman named Teresa out of an Idaho town hall.

This is the story behind that viral video and the radicalization of the community where it happened.
