🚨 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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)
