It really is insane that working for ICE is a job people choose to have.

Like people legit wake up, and get ready to go to work at the Kidnapping Industrial Complex like it ain’t nothing.

I have SO MANY THOUGHTS both as a poor kid who was raised in music and as a library worker facing a society that increasingly has no use for art.

Thing one: poor people can absolutely understand complex topics. The author is right there.

Donald Trump posted some nonsense about Jan. 6th again. It is a combination of him trying to rewrite history, being mentally compromised & trying to distract away from the Epstein files. youtu.be/ePSuTYV8ZXI

Massive crowd in Melbourne/Naarm today (in case you thought this movement was going to be placated with more colonisation). Until the occupation ends. Until Western war criminals and their enablers face justice. Until Palestine is free.

Majority probably don’t know, including the members of the administration! I agree with you, though I’m really enjoying our humor about their false assessments of antifa & would be sorry to see that go.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Unfinished Revolution: The feminist fightback

In 1975, declared International Women’s Year by the United Nations, the Australian media were having a field day with feminism. Evan Williams, then press secretary to prime minister Gough Whitlam, was called in to address the Women and Politics Conference in Canberra, held just a few weeks after the UN’s gigantic Mexico City conference, which was dubbed “the greatest consciousness-raising event in history” that year.

Do we really want 250,000 mirrored satellites in Low Earth Orbit? Hasn't the Starlink megaconstellation already done enough damage?

A US startup plans to deliver ‘sunlight on demand’ after dark. Can it work – and would we want it to?

Satellites beaming sunlight down to Earth sound like science fiction – and they have astronomers very worried.

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.
