We really have to get this done because being unhoused is not great

Comrades, the National Guard was deployed in Ferguson in 2014 against protesters. Were you alive in 2014? Who was the President? Please let's be serious.

These motherfuckers are shooting percussion bombs at us.

For a second consecutive day, tear gas and flash bangs have been used to disperse protests over immigration activity in the Los Angeles area: cnn.it/3FMIOfg

I don't think that the MSM will be useful in covering what's going on. We're going to have to rely on independent journalists and foreign correspondents.

Canada and Mexico should build some more stadiums real quick.

Didn’t expect this from Scientific American but here we are. (Article from 2020 but everything still relevant including COVID precautions)

Timely reminder that the treatment for chemical weapons like tear gas and pepper spray is: 1) remove from active contamination (get them out of the cloud of teargas, remove outer layers of clothing if possible) 2) flush eyes with ONLY clean water. Wash skin and hair with water and soap.

Unions don’t just fight for wages – we fight for justice. When ICE arrested David Huerta, they didn’t just attack one leader. They attacked the entire movement. This is solidarity. This is our moment. #FreeDavidHuerta #FreeThemAll

Trying and failing to come up with the right words to describe what we are witnessing unfold in LA right now. Your resistance is here, support them

If you do get teargassed, BAG YOUR CLOTHES. Wash them as soon as you can, or throw them out.

People tried so hard to follow the law, Byzantine and unjust as it is. They showed up at meetings, filled out the paperwork, went to the courthouse. You responded by kidnapping them in front of their children and dragging them to black sites. This is what’s left. This is all that’s left.

DHS and ICE are outside agitators.

Today is Décadi the 20th of Prairial in the year 233. Prairial is the month of meadows. Today we celebrate the pitchfork. #JacobinDay More information on the pitchfork

Here’s a playlist of songs that directly influenced each of the tracks on Art History! open.spotify.com/playlist/6zS...

Hall of Heroes. The vets who protested an authoritarian who dishonors their service and doesn't even understand the concept of service. Why didn't this get more coverage?

Ordinary Notes in paperback. Grateful for everyone who has read it.

learn to code! learn to prompt! learn to buy into meritocracy bullshit instead of demanding dignity and a good life regardless of educational background and how wealthy you can make other people!

@hadro.bsky.social What were your rhubarb shrub ratios? And do you like them on the sweeter side or bracingly sour?

In addition to today's raids, this is why Los Angeles is protesting. It's life or death for the people held captive.

David Archuleta, who performs at this weekend’s Utah Pride Festival, is far from the only Latter-day Saint to come out as queer. His mom and other LDS parents explained why they no longer believe in a heaven that excludes their queer children.

USA tried that with "clean coal" and it went about as well as you would expect (along multiple axes).

Licenses to operate machinery that can kill if poorly operated (or even if properly operated) should expire and require re-testing. But (inter alia) America hates the DMV because it gave jobs to Black people.

FYI "gift links" for Washington Post, Toronto Star, Atlantic and probably other publications, still require people to create an account and sign in to read the article. If you want people to be able to see it without signing in, you can use this site - archive.is

similar stuff at my uni. folks put together a report called Surveilled and Silenced and the university has still to respond to it. www.thegrindmag.ca/anti-palesti...

Many Virginia sheriffs have rushed into partnerships with federal immigration authorities. Just since January, 17 of 123 sheriffs have joined or applied to ICE’s 287(g) program, up from zero earlier this year. boltsmag.org/sheriff...

Congratulations to Keishan Scott on winning the 2025 special election for SC House District 50! At just 24, Rep. Scott is bringing fresh energy and bold leadership to Lee, Sumter, and Kershaw counties. Let's go, Keishan! #SCDems #SCPolitics

Builder.ai promised to revolutionize software development with AI, backed by Microsoft and valued at $1.5 billion masked manual labor as machine learning until the facade crumbled, leaving behind lawsuits, layoffs, & one of the industry's most embarrassing collapses www.techspot.com/news/108173-...

There's a great new book on the ways law enforcement has historically been a tool of surveillance and repression on campus. What we're seeing today is the latest iteration of the Right's decades-long campaign, aided and abbetted by all-too-willing university administrators. #EverythingHasAHistory

The danger of relying on for-profit companies for digital scholarship / scholarly communications taps the sign.
