Do not comply with illegal orders.

You have a right to film police and federal agents on public property.

You have a right to assemble on public property without permits (in most areas), but also fuck getting permits for the rest.

Don't stop recording. Don't stop watching.

So RFK and friends have basically reverted us back to the food pyramid, a thing we haven't used in 30 years because it wasn't backed by science.

Also, based on their recommendations, I see a lot of gout and tyramine-driven disease (including hypertension)

Michael Fanone, one of the heroes of January 6th, writing this morning on Minnesota:

"The kind of senseless, tragic killing we’ve just witnessed in Minneapolis is a predictable outcome of the current drive to take over communities, assert government power, and intimidate locals into submission."
Trump flooded the streets with ICE agents. One just killed an unarmed woman.
Good cops have been shouting from the rooftops that this would happen.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

Raju: The Speaker and others have said that this driver was weaponizing her vehicle.

AOC: Their editorializing of this event to justify a public murder is disgusting. It is horrifying. Watch it for yourself and make that assessment for yourself on which of these leaders are lying to you.

In America, where irony is dead, a hotel chain uses a policy denying shelter to local people, for fear of accidentally housing homeless persons…

To deny a reservation to the author of a much-lauded book on how American economic unfairness forces working people into homelessness.
A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles.

When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies.

This is outrageous.

I think tied up in this may also be an expectation of (let's call it) epistemological labor, in which women (or those in feminine-coded disciplines) are expected to cater to and make their work accessible and friendly to men. it's "you should smile more" but in academic writing.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.

Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.

Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

To recap this week:
•Trump fires 8 immigration judges
•DHS tweets "remigration now,"—an actual Nazi policy
•DHS defies court order & deports a 19-year-old college student
•Trump regime removes report on Missing & Murdered Indigenous women, calling it "DEI"

This is an overt policy of white supremacy

"the issue isn’t that we need more 'boy-friendly' reforms. It’s that boys are socialized to compete only with boys and to read girls’ success as illegitimate or emasculating. The result is dissonance, resentment, and disengagement for boys—and hostile climates for girls."

We have a current deficit of 500k nurses. There are 260k enrolled in BSN & another 60k registered in associate degrees. Nowhere near enough. Not to mention all the degrees deemed non-professional are in female dominated fields. Limit women access to economic freedom. www.newsweek.com/nursing-not-...

The Department of Education is proposing a definition that could strip nurse practitioners and CRNAs of “professional degree” status.

Chiropractors keep it. Nurses risk losing it. And that change would fall hardest on women in healthcare.

This is political and it is sexist.

But his own DOJ admits that over 97% of immigrants detained in Chicago have no criminal record.
