Monkey's paw situation. Calling it now.
They should not reboot Firefly. It's not gonna be good.
(I don't think having personal finance or lifeskills stuff mixed into public education is a bad idea or anything, nor do I want to make fun of people who find taxes confusing or scary. Taxes are stressful!)
My hot take is that everyone says schools don't teach you how to do your taxes, but the way you do your taxes is to hang on to important paperwork and then follow the directions on a form while performing arithmetic, which actually is what they spend a fair amount of time teaching.
Please let the director of the FBI stay focused on drinking with hockey bros and his GF's singing career while the fash struggle to consolidate power.
You probably canβt personally stop the war in Iran today. Is there something you can do for your neighbors hiding from ice? For a trans person in Kansas? Any local aid orgs or rapid response networks? Phone banks? Anyone already doing good shit that just needs a hand?
Turns out the regular police *are* the fun police.

LET US FUCKING GO
I started rereading this old zine on the topic earlier this week: overthrowingilluminati.wordpress.com
fuck yes
NEW: ProPublica went inside the detention center for immigrant families in Dilley, Texas.
Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of what comes next.
Blockade with abolish ice sign
Sympathetic anti ICE protestors
Blockade with a mattress reading NO COMPROMISE
Blockade with signs reading "dream of spring" and "ICE go home"
So many friends popping up all over
Quick PPE video!
I didn't show gloves here - I keep cold-weather gloves, extrication gloves, and nitrile gloves in my kit.
Half-face P100 and goggles versus full-face P100 is personal preference. Either option offers good protection.

IRL the IRA got at least some of their guns from American organized crime.
(I haven't seen this show but the IRA selling their ARs back to the Americans seems like kind of a fun plot point.)
βThe U.S. Army brought the leading citizens of Ohrdruf to tour the facility, which turned out to be part of the Buchenwald network of concentration camps. A U.S Army colonel told the German civilians who viewed the scenes that they were to blame. One of the Germans replied that what happened in the camp was 'done by a few people,β and βyou cannot blame us all.β And the American, who could have been any one of our grandfathers, said 'This was done by those that the German people chose to lead them, and all are responsible.'" "The morning after the tour, the Mayor of Ohrdruf killed himself. And maybe he did not know the full extent of the outrages that were committed in his community, but he knew enough. And we don't know exactly how ICE will use this warehouse. But we know enough. I ask you to consider what the Mayor of Ordruf might have thought before he died. Maybe he felt like a victim. He might have thought 'How is this my fault? I have no jurisdiction over this.' Maybe he would have said, 'This site was not subject to local zoning, what could I do?' But I think, when he reflected on the suffering that occurred at this camp, just outside of town, that those words would have sounded hollow even to him. Because in his heart he knew, as we do, that we are all responsible for what happens in our community.β
A resident named Walter calmly took the mic and recounted an April 9, 1945 newspaper clipping about the liberation of the Ohrdruf concentration camp...
"And we don't know exactly how ICE will use this warehouse. But we know enough."

A bizarre number of people have stepped up to defend Julie Le. What you see in that transcript is an attorney who chose to do evil workβdeporting people for ICE then moving over to DOJ in early Jan. specifically to fight these habeas petitionsβbeing called to the carpet. She's desperate, not heroic.
My friend and one of the co-authors of Read This When Things Fall Apart, Stevie Wilson, will be released from prison in less than a week. Stevie has done tremendous work as an incarcerated organizer and has plans to continue doing important work on the outside. Let's help him make a new start.
3. Things like coloring or knitting may hit a sweet spot of engaging, calming, and creative without requiring a lot of planning, decision making, or effort.
1. Name 5 things you can see, 4 things you hear, 3 things you feel, 2 you can smell, 1 you can taste.
2. Start with large muscle movements like squats or jumping jacks and progress to calmer movements like yoga poses, and then eventually to small muscle movements, e.g. something with your hands.
The last time Minneapolis lit the city on fire the Trump regime collapsed.

Designed with a lot of feedback from folks on the frontlines (Minneapolis and elsewhere).
One of the things bothering me about how people are responding to the Epstein files is that there are tons of conspiracies being created and spread about whatβs in them, rather than people just believing the victims like they could have been doing for years now
That lib guy you all retweet is out voluntarily collecting evidence for the state now?
It would be very hard to overstate the trauma these kids are experiencing.
And obviously the picture of that pig holding onto Liam by his backpack fucked me up as well. I get why it's a thing. Still.
It's fucking me up that they had to get publicity photos of young Liam in his hat. Like, the hat you were wearing when the state started it's campaign of brutalization against you has become prominent in the visual language of the anti-ICE movement. We need a picture of you home, with that hat.
I just tried to use a built in AI chatbot on a system at work. I haven't even tried crafting my own prompt, just clicking the suggested prompt. It replied with a bunch of industry standard text along with incorrect data from the open record.
