This is just gorgeous! 💜
Honeycomb patterns.
Hexagonal shapes.
Light, glass, repetition.

What could this be?
If you’ve been there before, you´ll recognise it instantly.
If not — stay tuned 😉

He was put in prison and forced to listen to over 300 hangings, before which the prison would sing to soothe the victims. "I learned from them very early that what one does with Nazis is kill them,” he said at a 2023 conference on antinuclear activism in Johannesburg. “I am not a pacifist.”
He used his doctoral thesis to expose Apartheid South Africa's secret nuclear program and then included detailed instructions in his forced confession, which a judge read aloud in court, on how to sabotage all of the critical facilities.
Holy hell, what an obituary

good and helpful thread
“Hypernormalization describes a state where a false, simplified, or surreal version of reality becomes so accepted as normal that people lose the ability or will to challenge it, even when aware of its untruth, often due to systemic inertia or lack of alternatives.”

Yeah, all the stuff we read about those Zen teachers and their glorification of violence — looking at you, D. T Suzuki — has a great deal of resonance with our current moment.
Japanese history is something else. @runswithwolves.bsky.social and I read a book on the role of Zen Buddhist institutions in promoting Japanese fascism, and wheeeeeew. 😮‍💨

What is happening has happened before, basically.
Reading Japanese political history from 1853 you see that in 120 years they were forced to go through what Europe did in 400.

I feel pretty misunderstood by people living in rural areas, and yet mysteriously, this isn’t considered a problem.

I’m sick of putting up with this idiotic display of obeisance to chucklefucks simply because they live in rural areas.
Republicans control all 3 branches of government. Even when they don't, both parties pump out constant rhetoric about "real Americans" living in rural areas.

The entire premise of this article is a conservative-fluffing myth. Cities have more political power because that's where most people live!

Out of curiosity, how many stories from the Qur’an or the Talmud do you know?
people seriously are arguing in my mentions that a national political journalist shouldnt know famous biblical stories because they are jewish. this is wild to me. its like me getting a pass for not knowing what the talmud or koran is because im a christian. insane.

Apparently, the government wants to create a list of Jews.

A List. Of Jews.

My God.
Once again: a far-right president asking Jews to register as Jewish, in the name of protecting the Jews, after he has repeatedly accused Jews of being “disloyal.” What could go wrong?

21st century nazis have made the 'are we baddies' sketch obsolete. It is very clear they know they're the baddies, and they love it. They think it's awesome. They worship evil, and are euphoric in disbelief that they're allowed to get away with it.
Demonstrators apparently retrieved from the cars belonging to ICE these "challenge coins" that ICE mercenaries receive when they carry out arrests.

This one is decorated with a skull wearing a crown.

ICE mercenaries serve king death. They are evil incarnate.

Good night, everyone. It feels like our so-called "leaders" have all but abandoned us, but we still have each other. I didn't know what else to do, so I made a little painting. Stay safe out there 💛

The usual problem with the "just asking questions" crowd is that they have no interest in listening to any answers except the ones they are already sure of.

For. Every. Issue.

But “just laundering prejudices” doesn’t sound as sexy.

For the love of God and all that's holy.
We need to pick up this Overton Window and throw it as far as we can. Stop waiting for shit to “be popular” and start advocating for what is transparently right.

Let’s review. If you (person with a conscience) are asked if you know where your neighbors of a certain ethnicity live, you have never met anyone in your life. You are but a baby kitten, knowing nothing, seeing nothing, retaining nothing.
A St. Paul resident says federal officers knocked on her door and asked her to identify Hmong and Asian households in her North End neighborhood last week.

ICE shot two more people in Minneapolis. This shooting was a mile from where I lived in North MPLS. A neighborhood I called home for my first 4 years here. Good people.

Please pray for Minneapolis. Pray for St Paul. Pray for us please.
We are aware of reports of a shooting involving federal law enforcement in North Minneapolis. We are working to confirm additional details.
