Very sad to hear of the death of Guenter Risse, whose historical studies on plague and other diseases in San Francisco were such an inspiration for a generation of researchers. Both Visual Plague and Global War Against the Rat projects owe a lot to his generous support mhb.wisc.edu/2026/02/25/i...

Greetings! There’s a very large right-wing Christian rally called May Day in Hollywood Boulevard. Russ Johnston and Jenny Donnelly. The group has some overtly anti-LGBTQ views. Despite a large to-do about permitting, the event is setting up a concert stage. LAPD blocking traffic.
every twenty years it’s just a cycle of “let’s cut funding for waste removal” followed by “where the fuck did all this garbage come from?!” and no lessons learned, ever
Mexico or Brazil maybe?

STUDENT WALK OUT- OUTSIDE LOS ANGELES CITY HALL:
High school students from all over LA have walked out of class and gathered in front of city hall to protest the president’s fascist agenda. SOLIDARITY WITH THE YOUTH! FUCK ICE!
A tik tok with the sentences: "you can't make the King out of sand," "it's impossible to make a realistic sand LeBron James," "Sand LeBron James will never exist."
I say these three sentences constantly. I sure hope this video doesn't end with a sand LeBron James or I would really look dumb

From 1937 onwards, many previous criminals were rearrested in large raids. One such raid, ordered by Himmler and carried out on the 9 March 1937, saw two thousand people arrested across Germany and sent to camps. Asocials - 1934/5 onwards The arrest of those considered to be 'asocials', such as Roma, homosexuals, prostitutes, the homeless and the 'work-shy' also intensified under SS rule from 1934, and again following the start of the Second World War in 1939.
