902) Gorgonbot. Mythic robot with Snakebots for hair. Its gaze isn't quite powerful enough to petrify its targets, but it can cause dry skin and, if Gorgonbot stares hard enough, a nasty bout of eczema. #SmallRobotsRemonstered #Halloween

An angry, spherical robot with banded legs that is leaning slightly forward and sticking out its tongue. Its head is crowned with fourteen equally angry robotic snakes on long, banded necks, all arching upwards and facing in the same direction as Gorgonbot, with their own forked tongues sticking out too.

So ICE is now threatening to shoot medical personnel treating the people they are beating and shooting.

Nick Kristof @nickkristof.bsky.social · 1h

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

Documents Allege a Federal Agent at Portland ICE Threatened to Shoot an Ambulance Driver

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

NYT - Hamas holds hostages, while Israel holds prisoners. The racist dehumanization of Palestinians in the NYT is so deeply embedded that the paper would probably spontaneously combust if its writers and editors treated Palestinians as human beings equal to their Jewish Israeli counterparts.

I wouldn’t call any modern genocide quaint, but…his point is well taken

George Gantsoudes @pedsortho.bsky.social · 3h

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison.

Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

But too many of the slaves died in captivity. And so Columbus, desperate to pay back dividends to those who had in-vested, had to make good his promise to fill the ships with gold. In the province of Cicao on Haiti, where he and his men imagined huge gold fields to exist, they ordered all persons fourteen years or older to collect a certain quantity of gold every three months. When they brought it, they were given copper tokens to hang around their necks. Indians found without a copper token had their hands cut off and bled to death.
The Indians had been given an impossible task. The only gold around was bits of dust garnered from the streams. So they fled, were hunted down with dogs, and were killed.

After each six or eight months' work in the mines, which was the time required of each crew to dig enough gold for melting, up to a third of the men died.
While the men were sent many miles away to the mines, the wives remained to work the soil, forced into the excruciating job of digging and making thousands of hills for cassava plants.
Thus husbands and wives were together only once every eight or ten months and when they met they were so exhausted and depressed on both sides... they ceased to pro-create. As for the newly born, they died early because their mothers, overworked and fam-ished, had no milk to nurse them, and for this reason, while I was in Cuba, 7000 children died in three months. Some mothers even drowned their babies from sheer desper-ation.... In this way, husbands died in the mines, wives died at work, and children died from lack of milk ... and in a short time this land which was so great, so powerful and fer-tile... was depopulated... My eyes have seen these acts so foreign to human nature, and now I tremble as I write....

What I'd love people to take from the Portland Frog (and the other inflatable costumes) is both that wearing an inflatable costume to a protest can create cool viral visuals AND that you need to just try shit.

It’s a terrible feeling to have genocide take away even your education. 😔
Ruba, my neighbor in the camp, is a pharmacy student who had to stop studying after her sick father passed away. She needs $500 for the missed semester and $500 for the next one.
Please chip in lets give a girl some hope.

I’m glad, but make no mistake: rerouting funding to an organization means they are washing their hands of administering this.

Meaning if there’s abuse, they will not be investigating. Meaning this is yet another step towards privatization of education, particularly for disabled students.
