Re the Hormuz, not saying I'm an expert on the sitch, but are we really too proud to try historically vetted measures like sacrificing a high ranking member of the royal family to propitiate the sea god
It’s basically criminology 101 that arrest quotas destroy civil liberties

I believe the world does not understand or adequately acknowledge the impact of events, traumatic & otherwise, on humans, nor does it teach or offer us effective tools & strategies to manage that impact.
"Resilience" is not a tool. "Suck it up" is not a strategy.
0/100 so far
please share, and give if you’re able. thankful for all of the boosts so far 🪷
Extremely grim news from Texas.
Absurdly, a jury has decided to convict all of the defendants on most of the charges, including "Corruptly Concealing a Document" for moving a box of zines.
The jury's verdict:
www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/v...
Background on the case:
crimethinc.com/Prairieland
Our job is to make it hard for them to isolate out individuals and small groups that they can demonize. Our job is to support the people in these edge cases. Because every bit of pushback they receive makes it harder for them to move onto the next people they'd like to target.
The Prairieland verdict is a reminder not to count on the courts to stop the rise of fascism.
This case is intended to set a precedent enabling the government to suppress all forms of resistance.
It must not discourage us from fighting as hard as we can against them.
Fighting is our only hope.

“AI can never be AI without humans. It is not artificial intelligence. It’s African intelligence...We are training our own death. We train ChatGPT and it’s killing us slowly.”
Kenyan workers are still the underpaid labor behind AI training, moderation, and sex chatbots. Now, they're fighting back.
Rest in power Breonna Taylor. Today, we mourn six years without her, and six years without justice or accountability.

i wish we didn’t leverage fear of poverty and homelessness as a wedge to make examples of the most vulnerable.

I’m seeing a whole lot of “but what about” posts on here today.
We’ve reached the point of fascism (a long time ago, honestly) when things are really bad for a lot of people.
Someone naming how it’s bad for them isn’t taking anything from you. Solidarity with each other is the way out of this.
