they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

He's directing traffic. He steps inbetween ICE and two women who are being harrassed by them (one of whom was shoved to the ground for no reason), raises his hands and turns away from them and says "Okay! Okay!" to indicate he isn't going to be aggressive, at which point they start with pepper spray
He was helping direct traffic when federal authorities approached him. Less than a minute later he was dead.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

Sorry, but I'm going to get real annoying about this.
If you're an Irish artist/creative, this survey only takes a few minutes to do.
As mentioned by Ian Fay, this is getting brigaded by far right types over on X, and we need to drown them out.

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity.
"What service is Microsoft providing?"
Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.

This is embarrassingly shoddy work.
Beyond disappointed to find Necronomico and the Cosmic Horror Show's subs on @crunchyroll.com are blatantly and openly ChatGPT.
This is not acceptable. How can we be expected to pay for a service that clearly doesn't care about the quality of its products?

and it's not like trans youth are without agency or strength
everywhere, I see young trans people building new ideas of who they are, resisting cis-normativity, fighting for their own rights
the least we can do as adults is match their resolve and courage

we need to fight for trans youth on every front
through the courts and legislation, by supplying hormones directly, by dispelling the idea of "passing", by showing the rich and valued lives of those who transitioned post-puberty, by celebrating transness
we need to help them survive no matter what

ICE picked a hotel in Pasadena to be their headquarters for this side of the city. The residents of Pasadena (myself included) would not stand for this and protested all yesterday in front of the hotel until, eventually, the hotel kicked out ICE!!
