Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Hey everyone,

Been quiet about this, but I had to give up my home of 13 years this week. Can’t go back to work until August & between moving expenses, medical bills & car repairs, I’m out of money. I need help to get by the next 2 months & be able to report.

Donation links below. Anything helps.

Just got a tip that citizens, including pregnant women and minors, are still being kettled and processed by SFPD. This was after they tried to follow SFPD orders to disperse and got kettled anyway.

Protesters are still kettled
Sounds like pregnant women may still be in there too.
Press was released, and (some)
minors
Are you in there? Are you safe?
I am fine

Being processed now it sounds like from the messages l've received
Just want to make sure people know
Sorry to clarify, you're not there but your husband is? Are they being arrested?
They were trying to leave and disperse (per SFPD orders), and then the cops essentially blocked the way
My husband is in the kettle. I am not, I am receiving periodic messages from him and scouring Bluesky for content to know more
I received a message at 10:09 pt saying that processing is now happening

As if SFPD doesn’t have enough lawsuits to worry about, now they’re mass arresting protestors. As in 2020, very few if any charges will even stick.

James Croxton @jwcroxton.bsky.social · Jun 9

I've walked around to the other side of the detainment. It looks like SFPD actually plans to arrest everyone and has asked for everyone under 18 years of age to form a line first.

Hello #SRCD friends. I have a student who is a dual citizen of Canada and Turkey and was planning to attend SRCD. She was so excited to have two posters accepted! But she and I both are worried about her crossing the border. Is anyone else thinking along these lines?
