I had a professor of Jewish Studies at UChicago who made the administration very angry because every year he made a proposal for the university to create an on-campus memorial to the worldwide victims of the UChicago economics department.

Bought OTD in 1972: a game changer this one - not so much for the sound, still half way in singer songwriter mode, but for the language and the countdown to apocalypse in 1977. Oh, and the sexiness: Soul Love, Hang On To Yourself and Suffragette City: tigers on Vaseline indeed

ICYMI and you're interested in the Boyd Rice angle, I made this video about him last year which shows his letters to James Mason & other video of him being interviewed by Tom Metzger and drawing swastika graffiti on TV

"One skill that you master while working at an abattoir is disassociation. You learn to become numb to death and to suffering […] It doesn't just make the job easier - it's necessary for survival."

It's not okay to be okay with this, in any way. This image of the #elsalvador #cecot detainment camp utilized by Trump to deport people without due process deserve to be shared far and wide. We can't keep looking the other way.

Zustrombegrenzung, dauerhaft geschlossene Grenzen, Zurückweisungen, Abschiebungen – ist allen klar was diese Forderungen bedeuten? Nicht "nur" massenhaftes Sterben in Meeren, Wüsten und an Zäunen. Sie bedeuten u.a. auch Folter und aktiven Massenmord in Libyen.

Massengräber in Libyen entdeckt
Im Süden Libyens sind zwei Massengräber entdeckt worden. Bei den etwa 50 Toten handelt es sich um Geflüchtete. Libyen ist ein Transitland für Menschen, die nach Europa fliehen.

Heute vor 11 Jahren versuchten Geflüchtete schwimmend die spanische Enklave #Ceuta zu erreichen. Man reagierte mit Gummigeschossen und Tränengas. Mindestens 15 Menschen starben. Seitdem hört das Sterben nicht auf: in Meeren, in Wüsten, an Mauern und Zäunen. Wir dürfen uns niemals daran gewöhnen!

Mutual aid is not just a disaster response, it’s a way of caring for one another, building stronger communities, and preparing for whatever life may throw at us next. It’s a labor of love—and a way of life.

We Only Have Ourselves: The How-Tos and DOs and DON’Ts of Mutual Aid
For all of humanity’s many, many flaws, one of our most redeeming characteristics as a species is an almost-universal desire to connect with one another. When terrible things happen and communities…
