This isn’t contradictory if you believe that both women and children are property

In a conversation between June Jordan and Angela Y. Davis, published in 1990, Jordan said she was concerned about how much despair there is cuz people often take it out on themselves.

She said she wanted a return to rage, where it’s taken out on the system.

URGENT call to those in USA.

1) Look if any of these are your reps.

2) Choose from the talking points on the slide below this one, to tell them to vote NO - and you feel very strongly about this - for HR 7661.

Sunday's Weather Rating: 1/10

A mix of rain and snow develops this morning. Snow takes over and becomes heavy this afternoon, with heavy snow and blizzard conditions developing tonight. This is a big one, y'all. The vibes are getting SNOWY!!!

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance.

And you know why?

Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

A Lunar New Year illustration depicting a smiling horse standing in a field. They are being offered a flower by a rabbit in a dress. A dog person is sitting on the horse brushing it and a cat is standing nearby looking at the horse admiringly. Beneath the horse are the words "may 2026 be kind to you". To the right are the Chinese characters: "ζ­ε–œη™Όθ²‘" (gong hei fat choi) which translates as wishing you happiness and fortune.

There’s going to be Covid style shortages of cars, TVs and even washing machines and fridges, then job losses because assembly lines can’t source solid state memory, just so the stupidest person you know can state with 100% confidence a chatbot confirmed dinosaurs coexisted with humans.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Measles is one of those nightmare diseases that, if it hadn't been killing people for hundreds of years, people would ABSOLUTELY be pushing conspiracy theories about right now. It's too nasty in too many different directions to seem natural. But oh, boy, it sure is.

It's easy to be concerned about vaccines when you stop being concerned about viruses. You can only stop being concerned about viruses in a world with vaccines.

three panel webcomic
1st panel: one man says to another "we invented a robot that answers questions"
2nd panel: he continues "we just have to feed it 10 baby giraffes a day"
3rd panel: the other man asks "but it answers the questions correctly?" and the first man replies "oh my goodness, no. no no no no no."

Gemini "summarizing" the contents of g drive folders is only really useful if you assume users are constantly opening gdrive folders without having any idea what MIGHT be in them, something that is I think generally untrue, and in the cases where it IS true it's a cybersecurity nightmare!!

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.)  If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

From a Comrade
19h. C
One of the nuts things about organizing in the Twin
Cities right now is that even the most long term
organizers who've been here for decades can't keep
track of all the resistance that is going on. There are
so many self-organized crews just doing work that in
any conversation with someone from another
neighborhood you might stumble over a whole
collective of people resisting in ways you didn't think
of. There's a crew of carpenters just going around
fixing kicked-in doors. There are tow truck drivers
taking cars of detained people away for free. People
delivering food to families in hiding. So many local
rapid response groups that the number is uncertain
but somewhere between 80 and the low hundreds-
especially when one considers that several
immigrant communities have their own non-English
rapid response networks usually uncounted in the
main English-language directories. People standing
watch outside daycares and schools.
This whole resistance has so many poles of initiative
and leadership, so many layers of self-organization,
that it's extraordinarily difficult for the state to
repress or for opportunists be they Democrats or
movement-riding parties) to co-opt and control. Of
course, that's built up through many years and
decades of organization, and not only through
explicitiv political campaigns or formations built
during times of crisis and rupture like 2020. It is also
built through day-to-day mutual aid, culture building,
workplace and tenant organizing, and simple, basic
relationship building among neighbors and
coworkers here.

if the whole genocide thing wasn't enough for you, another good reason to get AIPAC money out of democratic politics is that the organization now exists to move republican donor money into democratic races to sow chaos and get the most republican-friendly democrat elected
