report with alt text community-led arrest preventions or de-arrests are incredibly effective. UK antifascists have done this to great success to protect refugees over the past 5 years. all about how quickly you can get people on the street to crowd the scene

this is good. However I would also just advise looking at who hacked them and if it really is the soyjack party kids that is a group of equally bad Nazi children.

This evocative piece on our present crisis by @naomiaklein.bsky.social & @astra.bsky.social gives some powerful insights and beautiful solutions. I think Pagans, Heathens, Witches, & animists will especially appreciate where they go. #PaganSky #HeathenSky #WitchSky #OccultSky #Resist #Animism

"The left went too far" in contemporary U.S. politics is almost always a lie and a very convenient way to rationalize moral failure. For example, "MeToo went too far" replaces "I do not care about sexual violence or its victims and I don't want to have to even feel bad about that"

Protip: If your opinions sound the same as Elon Musk, the dude who threw *two* Nazi salutes at Trump's inauguration and has repeatedly promoted, platformed, and encouraged outright Nazi bullshit on the hellsite, then you may want to rethink your life and ask yourself how you got to this point.

This meditation helps practitioners understand the meanings of any of the Elder, Younger, & Anglo-Saxon runes. For this meditation, you will need a guide to the runes. You can find one in Ch. 6 of The Way of Fire & Ice and @sirivplouff.bsky.social's Queering the Runes #PaganSky #HeathenSky #WitchSky

This explains the series of terrifying messages we received on Monday as principals warned their schools about what was happening. Always proud to be an LAUSD family, but especially at this moment, when our public schools are one of the few institutions willing to stand up to this administration

This tracks with a lot of their missteps. Musk, Trump, and all the rest have long used media to build their power & right-wing Christianity's whole understanding of the Seven Mountains Mandate focuses on seizing the heights, including media. They have no appreciation for other forms of power.

They are making significant material progress while losing more and more political and popular ground, this contradiction will continually lead to accelerating confrontation until it is resolved
