Banning a trans woman from a public platform and canceling her work is the exact sort of material harm that the dead asshole advocated for. @moderation.bsky.app, reinstate @scumbelievable. DC uncancel Red Hood. Everyone else, hire Gretchen. Buy her books. Black Flame's on my TBR list.

"Fortunate Son" by Creedence Clearwater Revival is a protest song that critiques the social injustice and class disparities within the Vietnam War draft system.

unfortunately for these folks the odds are that they aren’t going to go after violent criminals at all — too hard — and going to go exclusively over the easiest targets, which are law abiding workers
"No one ever thought that this would happen. I thought that the administration was going after violent criminals, but these people are innocent, honest, hardworking people. These are human beings." www.inquirer.com/news/philade...
ICE raided his family’s North Philly car wash. Here is Jeffrey Lee’s account of what happened.
"They weren’t rude or anything, but they basically just told me 'We are here to take some illegals. If you don’t hear from us then don’t worry about it,'" said the car wash owner.

I had a relative compelled into service to the enemy. He mistranslated all the manuals for captured equipment so that The Thing Don't Work.
Mistranslate the manuals, whatever that means for you.

a key take away from reading a lot of history for me:
the people who survive hard times and eventually brutally humiliate their seemingly invincible enemies are not the people whose first response to adversity is “oh well, guess I’ll die”

I don’t have a crystal ball & nor do you, but my prediction is that in a year we’ll be deeper into climate collapse with more disasters, massive social support the state once provided slashed, we will be dealing with even more plagues of disease, fascism will be deeper, & we’ll need mutual aid more.

“Unlike reports of celebrity losses in Malibu, the devastation in Altadena illustrates how wildfires magnify inequalities, leaving poorer neighborhoods, often communities of color, with fewer resources to recover.”
There are families who will never be able to come back from this devastation, and many of them were in generational homes, passed down from people who bought homes in the 1970sand 80's in Altadena. All of the fires are a tragedy, but especially for those who don't have the resources to rebuild.
