Re-upped with alt-text. The character count on the alt-text is WAY more generous than I realized, incidentally.
Hi Ken, I'm a pilot and received this email from an airport manager about an issue that has been a growing problem for years in the Bay Area, and is now growing even worse; San Carlos airport is an airport within 10 miles of San Francisco International airport, and it will have no air traffic controllers starting on February 1st. The departure route for San Carlos directly overlaps the arrival path of San Francisco. San Carlos also hosts two of the areas largest flight schools. This means you now have a situation where inexperienced pilots will be departing into highly complex airspace, using solely their own judgement and reading of charts, so as to not collide with aircraft landing at San Francisco. This happened because the airport operates off an FAA contract for staffing controllers, rather than the FAA directly providing controllers. This system has always been tenuous. It was previously not uncommon for the contractor to only provide a single controller for all traffic; there are recordings on YouTube of the tower needing to shut down because the controller had to use the bathroom and no one else was working. Now a new contractor has underbid the existing and decided to remove cost of living adjustments for staff. All controllers have left, and the new contractor plans to operate the airport with no controllers (this means the pilots need to coordinate with each other instead). (Cont' from the previous picture) I've been disturbed by the operation of contract towers ever since becoming a pilot. During the first Trump administration, I feared what privatization of all air traffic control would bring. After Trump posted about ATC being at fault in last night's mid air collision in DC, I'm concerned they will use this as a spring board to push for more private towers. I writer this to you to say that this will bring more safety risks, and more people need to understand a real life example of what chaos a contract tower can create when put in such busy and complicated airspace. Thank you for your time, sorry to bother you with an email, but the accident last night has been a tipping point and I don't know how else to spread awareness.

Listen, did you ever had a bad boss, a terrible person, at a job that you can't, for whatever reason, quit? Did you learn to delay, obfuscate, frustrate, and otherwise fuck up that person just to the line where you could keep your job? Congratulations, you have the tools to resist authoritarianism!

It’s important to remember that resisting takes many forms—including throwing sand in the gears and just not… rolling over in advance—and they’re all needed and useful.

“Saying “No, it’s over! Don’t be so naive!” [is] really just rolling out a red carpet, the ultimate capitulation in advance. At the very least, put him to the task. Make him execute on what he’s trying to do. That’s the first role of a political opposition.” 👇

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.

Okay Folks. I have an urgent need for an IRL community member.

The people at Community Kitchen, where I used to cook, has a community member, Isaac, in need.

Please share this widely. Help all that you can.

#MutualAid

www.gofundme.com/f/supporting... unhoused-mpis-community-member
Call to Action! Mutual Aid Solidarity with Isaac-an Unhoused, Black, & Disabled Community Kitchen MPLS Volunteer Mutual aid is a practice of community solidarity. It is a direct way of keeping our neighbors alive. The violence of capitalism, colonialism, anti- Blackness, and ableism have isolated and displaced our neighbor-Isaac. It is our community responsibility to be in direct, material solidarity to support Isaac's wellbeing. CK Isaac lives at the intersections of being an unhoused, Black, and disabled man who has undergone extreme physical and psychological violence. We are called to action with donations of material support for Isaac. Contribute in our Link Tree: https://www.gofundme.com/f/supporting-isaac-a-black- unhoused-mpis-community-member ♡ We're so glad we met Isaac at Community Kitchen MPLS. He stopped to chat one day outside our kitchen, and it was clear he had a story to tell. We invited him inside, and the conversation continued. And then he came back the next week. And the next. As Isaac became a friend of the kitchen crew, we learned a lot about him. We learned that he immigrated to the US and has no family here. We learned that he is honest and kind. We learned that he is extremely knowledgeable about medicinal plants. We learned that he cares deeply about community. Isaac has practiced mutual aid for the community of Minneapolis for many years. He has been a leader in buying and repurposing 16+ vehicles for people without transportation access. He has been generous in offering loans to people going through economic hardship. As an unhoused and food insecure person himself, he volunteers alongside us in preparing meals for our neighbors. Undergoing a medical emergency myself, he has offered his knowledge of plant medicine. We have deep conversations about the harms of colonialism and the power of collectivism to sustain us. The team at Community Kitchen MPLS has been supporting Isaac through a recent. eviction, which has isolated and displaced him to living in his car. This has exacerbated the conditions of his disabilities-causing great pain in addition to isolation. ♡ Months ago, he came home to the apartment he was subleasing to find that his housemate had changed the locks without warning. Though Isaac was not on the official lease, he had been paying rent for months and was therefore legally owed 30 days notice before eviction. He has tried to fight this eviction in court but has been unsuccessful thus far. Without a place to stay, he has been living in his car. Living in a car is hard. It's stressful. It hurts. Isaac suffers from multiple medical conditions-including a tendon injury that requires surgery he has not been able to afford. His poor living conditions have only worsened his pain.

I do not do anti sex worker attitudes at all. I just don't. I feel sex workers are living some of the most dangerous & marginalized lives, fighting to have rights & to survive constantly, & committed to care of their communities through things like mutual aid throughout the severity they face.

I hope we can talk about this more, but one of the most dangerous and overlooked societal poisons of capitalism is “novelty.”

To claim, monetize, extract, to have YOU, YOUR name attached to something rather than a group or peoples? To attach ego to “discover.”

How very… Christopher Columbus.

Semi-friendly reminder that a lot of marginalized folks have already been out here "doing the work" in various material forms. If you're new to it, welcome *and* don't waste time trying to reinvent the wheel. Knowledge needn't be newly rediscovered by you to be valid. Listen + support where needed.
