The Ohio and Kentucky Rivers are at historic flood levels! River cities are evacuated and there are people trapped. Levees are breaking in Indiana, and there are rural roads completely destroyed Across Kentuckiana. There is also a cold snap coming to freeze all the folks trapped out right now.

This is a 5 alarm fire. They're going to pull down all publicly available data, studies, guidance, etc that involves LGBTQ people so when the worst happens to us, no one will know. They're actively trying to erase us.

They have been training for years, but we can easily catch up. We must be capable of protecting ourselves and each other. It's time to counter these fools by training martial arts and starting our own community defense programs. Time to take back the streets!
I remember when neo-Nazi fight clubs were a rare occurrence. Now there are more than 130 fascist fight clubs around the world, some of whom are even rallying in support of Trump's policies, calling for mass deportations and violence

Hey you! Did you know you can deflate a tire by screwing the valve stem cap, putting an airsoft BB and then screwing the cap back on there? You know, for when you need to lose a few PSI for traction in this snow. That's all, act wisely friends✌️

Want to organize? do nice things with your friends. Build a little clique that does skill sharing, gives away things for free, cooks some hot food for people.
Do that once a week or as often as you can.

Think you can't organize, guess what? You just did!

#MutualAid is the guiding light that will shine through the fog that is creeping up from the void to swallow us all. With the corporate overlords bowing to lick the heels of fascists, we normal folks have a moral duty to light the lamps as we tread the path of resistance and struggle.

All you need is a label printer and some designs in Black/White and you can make some high speed stickers that are quick to slap up and very adhesive!

This book is a big mover in our member library. Seriously important read! Also, Culture Warlords by the same author is quite good
just a reminder that despite somewhat dismal sales numbers, people who've read my book said they found it important and clarifying, and emotionally resonant, and thoughtful, and well-written. and i hope you'll consider buying it as we move into the era it describes:

No one is coming to save us. It's time to get our communities together, to share skills and prepare to fight for each other.

Thank goodness for everyone who is mobilizing right now. Together, we can do this. 🏴

Reposting this as we are about to get a severe winter storm and the unhoused in our area are already in a bad way. Please consider contacting us if you are near southern Indiana or the Louisville metro area. A little goes a long way.

If you’re not meshed into the community defense ecosystem you need to change that ASAP.

Even if you’re not willing to put your body on the line as a member of a ComDef org, you NEED to find your locals. Look them up, reach out to them and let them know what your needs are.
the culprits for both the Vegas and New Orleans attacks were GWOT-era veterans. this is a trend that will continue. we have millions of vets from a quarter century of careless war, a media ecosystem designed to break people's brains and an ever-rising cost-of-living. buckle up

Liberalism is not a bastion for humanity. We must move beyond it and the cynical humanism it pretends to espouse.
California forcibly sterilized hundreds of women. Then, it 'allowed' them to apply for compensation.

But only ≈15% of the affected women have gotten compensation so far. Many were denied.

And the deadline to apply/appeal is in just 10 days, leading to an unfair rush many don't know about:
For Survivors of Forced Sterilization in California Prisons, a Rushed Shot at Justice
A state board deciding reparations for women sterilized against their will rejected most applications. Advocates are now racing against a January deadline for victims to appeal.
