Gardens are sanctuaries, a place that ties us to nature. The word paradise comes from Old Persian, pairidaeza (meaning enclosed garden). To be with loved ones, surrounded by the natural world—those elements drew me to this photo, as I often return to garden/nature in my collection of photos. 1/x
A large painting of a painted photograph of six women standing close to each other, holding and posing together with a girl seated in front of them. They are surrounded by lush trees and a garden, and the colors are bright greens and lavenders, not tied to typical colors. Their faces are washed in hot links and magentas, and a floral vine emerges from their hands and wraps around each other and the garden itself. The painting is framed in a green decorative frame with three pediments at the top, the middle one larger and more elaborate A detail of the painting, showing four of the six women's faces, a vine threading behind the head of the third woman from the left, and a close up of the tree leaves and the framing, specifically the left and center pediments. The left pediment is a patterning of poppies and leaves, while the center pediment is ornate leaves taking precedence A detail of the painting showing a hanging bush that has been abstracted to have floral patterning fill it, the green bottom potted plants are interrupted by the vine coming from the far left woman's hands A detail of the painting showing the side framing, an ornate relief pattern of flowers cream and red running up the frame. In the painting portion, it's a side view showing the girl seated behind a large lavender aloe, her looking off to the side perhaps at someone not taking the picture.

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

North Carolina Republicans announced today they’re going to pass a new congressional map to draw a Dem out of Congress; they already did last cycle, going from 7-7 to 10-4. Thus would be 11-3. t.co/XLJIhe8vZn

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

The editors of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) were apparently fired today.

The precursor to MMWR began in 1878 to address emerging public health threats rapidly.

We are not “great” without it. We are vulnerable to threats from sporadic foodborne illness to bioterrorism.

COVID-19 has revealed that much of the US public is willing to accept mass death and abandonment. We were pushed by propaganda to see many around us as disposable. That helped set the tone for current fascist violations. I wrote about it for @prismreports.org.

He sent this image.

At this point, it doesn't matter what justification they provide for Link's suspension, the fact of the matter is that the BlueSky team has demonstrated a wanton disregard for their own commitments to user moderation by deploying suspensions in response to what they take to be personal slights.

A political error that many academics and anti-academics have made is to not consider college professors part of the working class. Even those with Marxist leanings can forget about the relation to the means of production and instead focus on income, status, and vibes.

The police funding discussion was laughed at… “what do you mean DEFUND the police?”.

Funding levels have skyrocketed to support the activities we see right now.

Now it’s “…but nobody knew it would be this bad…”
