when beholding the tranquil beauty and brilliancy of the ocean’s skin, one forgets the tiger heart that pants beneath it

🚨 PHILLY VS. ICE 🚨 Five of our neighbors were kidnapped by ICE today. Folks have called for an *emergency protest* at the Federal Detention Center at 700 Arch St. beginning at 4pm. Come prepared, mask up, stay safe, raise hell. Let’s give these fascist monsters a real Philly welcome 🧊

3 weken geleden bereikte de federale regering een akkoord over nieuwe maatregelen. Intussen zijn we 3 weken en 1000en doden verder. Zonder sancties. Zonder omvattend wapenembargo. Zonder verbod op handel die bezetting mogelijk maakt. Zonder actie. België weet wat moet gebeuren. Maar doet het niet.

Perhaps the most important lesson to be learned from the encampment protests last year is that a protest has *more* power when you don't talk to the mainstream press and don't concern yourselves with what they're writing about you.

💥Freedom Flotilla Coalition Update💥 The #FreedomFlotillaCoalition confirms that 4 of the 12 abducted from international waters have been deported, while 8 remain unjustly detained. Israel is handling the custody of all 12 as though they had entered illegally— ...2/

“The UK is taking joint action with Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other countries in freezing the assets of [National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich] and imposing travel bans” Patrick Wintour, @theguardian.com: www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

i know mutuals on here who don’t like derek guy’s menswear account & there’s a grip of y’all with blocks in place one way or another — and i would hope we can all collectively agree that this shit isn’t funny or a joke to help put anyone at risk of getting disappeared by the gestapo

it was only by the sense of weight and pressure that I could tell that Queequeg was hugging me

There's a large convoy of North African activists making their way by land to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza. They've now reached Libya www.instagram.com/p/DKtr9pwM7uw Numbers I've seen are anywhere from 1500 to 7000 people. I'll incl the correct nmbr once I have it.

I keep coming back to the single-best piece of worldbuilding advice I ever heard, hilariously delivered to a man who was stuck because he hadn't given his hero enough potions to beat the boss: "you're a writer dude, if you need to cast a shadow move a mountain"

This is absolutely vital advice to any writer. I only care about worldbuilding when I'm engaging with TTRPG sourcebooks, and that's because the whole point is they are giving me tools to build my own stories. When it comes to novels especially, as a rule I only care if it is relevant to the plot.

unaccountable masses of shades and shadows

In De Morgen vandaag. Met een reactie op de politieverordening om dakloze bedelende Roemenen uit de winkelstraat te halen, op basis van “een verbod op kampementen”. Wegens een gevaar dus voor de samenleving. www.demorgen.be/nieuws/progr...

the only whales that thus sank were old, meagre, and broken-hearted creatures

I will allow myself one armchair protest tactics take re: LA this rules

Protesting works. Keep it up.

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the Constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support, you don't have to go through with it. ☎️ 1-877-447-4487 From #veterans to #activeduty personnel.

Yeah, this is just fucking wild. We’re in a zone of who-know-what-they’ll-do, since the administration seems to have no interest in following the only statute it has cited. Be careful out there, and be with other people.

Madleen update: Greta Thunberg and Thiago Avila arrived at Ashdod port, after being kidnapped by Israel along with 10 activists including MEP Rima Hassan.

I can’t believe I’m posting a *second* horse trampling by these fascist fucks

i hate to be all Niemöller about this, but just in case there are any so-called leftists calling for protestors to cool it, i can’t believe you can’t see that socialists will have their deportations to come, once the low-hanging fruit of immigrant families are roundly accepted as unworthy

It’s not yet known whether Waymo vehicles were deliberately targeted. This year the LAPD revealed it had obtained footage from a Waymo driverless car as part of an investigation, indicating that they are being used as potential sources of surveillance footage. Waymo has been contacted for comment.

Zero(no) Suit

Grotesque. But also, I watched footage of the atrocities of October 7th screened by the Israeli Embassy. Didn’t affect my support for a ceasefire in Gaza or opposition to the USG violating the law to provide unconditional military support. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

It is every man's duty to commit acts of homosexuality, and, barring that, to help the women and nonbinary people in his life to commit acts of homosexuality.

🧵GAZA I just donated to Gaza Soup Kitchen ⬇️ Pls join me if you can. If you're Jewish, please also join me & 20,000+ Jews ⬇️ in calling for an immediate end to Israel's food blockade on Gaza. Signers include hundreds & hundreds of rabbis & two of my heroes, Mandy Patinkin & Letty Cottin Pogrebrin.

It is genuinely unsafe for average people to use Twitter and speak freely. It appears to be this administration's primary intelligence gathering operation.

if people *are* actually concerned about the optic of flags then maybe we can learn from Korean protests and bring whatever flags we want to the protest link: koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/2024-12...

If only this guy was waving an American flag, then maybe more people would care. *sarcasm*

Thunberg provoking a response from Israel was the point. The ultimate point of which was to draw outrage at outrageous behavior (seizing a ship in international waters). I'm not sure it makes sense to say people don't get it when they're responding with appropriate outrage?

🚨 Today, Israel carried out more demolitions of Bedouin homes in the Negev/Naqab. Read the words of Rabea Alasam, one of our student organizers, who was there to see it. (1/4)
