Tomorrow is March 8, International Women's Day.
In 1910, Clara Zetkin proposed this event at an international women’s conference at Folkets Hus, headquarters of the Danish labor movement.
That building later became the historic autonomous social center Ungdomshuset.

Got swole on the bones of my enemies.
"what radicalized you?" nothing radicalized me, i was born with basic empathy. the world decided that was radical.
In a time of fascism empathy and compassion are seen radical.
All of Rosa's writings were destroyed by fascist.
One benefit of living in our time is I am confident that the geeks and anarchists will digitally archive all the words of revolution. Even if our internet is censored radical materials will still be disseminated via irc and zines 💾📚✊
Tbh I think the state Dem party bailed on him and almost all left leaning candidates. But also him running for president in '20 was kinda a waste of time imo.
“Zines are really like this little atomic unit of freedom of the press with simple pamphlets that you just pass around. It begs the question of whether the prosecution believes that we should have a First Amendment in the first place” #ZinesAreNotACrime

Wouldn't be anything lost, he's dead inside already.
Good review! It was a great idea to talk to rural lawyers. I know how much the only two lawyers in my rural county for decades made a difference (one good one not so much). Absolutely agree it would be valuable to see a focus on Appalachian rural lawyers, I would read that!

The judges in WV have seen enough.
They say that if the ICE continues detaining people in ways they have unanimously deemed illegal they will start issuing civil fines and contempt findings — including against state officials who help them carry it out.

Didn't expect to see West Virginia on any anti-trump list. It's a small piece of good news, but I'll take any I can get!
They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.
They always have one cabinet member sit out the SOTU, that's what that's about. You think we'd have better wording for it, but nope
Redemption arc for this post that got everyone mad at me for weeks
The powers that be in the US (both sides) will never publicly say they want to abandon economic growth to work toward lessening the impact of climate change. Half of them see melting ice just as more access to exploit resources 😮💨

NEW: One year ago, we caught a peek of MAGA authoritarianism when men roughly dragged a woman named Teresa out of an Idaho town hall.
This is the story behind that viral video and the radicalization of the community where it happened.

90% of the time my local paper's cover story is something like "School Bake Sale Hits New Record". Then a few times a year it's this kind of story and it's so jarring every time.
In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."
Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.
It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.
Our latest.
When folks ask "how are you" I just say "surviving". It's the best I can do to give a positive-ish answer that isn't a complete lie. Been my go to since November '24.

Oh, Harold 😭
I really enjoyed this interview with John Sayles who made one of my favorite movies Matewan which shows one battle in the West Virginia Mine Wars. I didn't realize his filmography and writings were all tied to immigrant and labor history. Now I am excited to make my way through more of his work!
Isn't this upcoming generation being critiqued for their lack of social skills? Perhaps you were ahead of the curve 😉
