4 people froze to death in DC because we turned our collective backs on them. Absolutely shameful.

As many as 4 unhoused people died during DC snowstorm, Mayor Muriel Bowser says
More than a week after winter weather walloped the region, the mayor says work is still being done to clean up.

If you like metal that is equally extreme as it is experimental, I cannot recommend the debut album of Machukha - Mochari. Intense, angry and sorrowful the Berlin-based Ukrainian band really grabbed lightening with this LP.

According to @themoscowtimes.com, the Kremlin has agreed to halt attacks on Kyiv until February 1st.
Based on previous Russian attitudes towards ceasefires, we will see how faithfully this is implemented.
No other 🇺🇦 cities were mentioned in the report.

When things in the city are shutdown, many regular services (like meal distros) aren’t able to run & people aren’t able to panhandle as much money.
People outside are hungry right now. If you’re able make some extra hot food to bring out to folks. Give folks some cash so they can eat.

I'm happy to see that Never Again/Nigdy Więcej is calling for a boycott for the 2026 World Cup in 🇺🇸.
A descent into authoritarianism/fascism should not be rewarded with a tournament meant to bring cultures together.
FIFA should also not put foreign fans and players at risk.

This is pessimistic, and maybe will provoke ire, but ICE won't be abolished by the political class. There will be no Nuremberg, and if the dems win in 2026 and 2028, there won't be any dramatic changes. It'll be more the same, and in a few years we'll be right back to square 1.
