Gerda Taro with a Republican soldier near Córdoba by Robert Capa. September 1936. Hard to say what is her expression but looks like Francoist planes above

NEW: When Nick Benson (@ottergoose.net) put out the call for dashcams to film ICE, he thought he’d get maybe 10 people to donate. More than 500 have shown up on his front porch in suburban Minneapolis.

We've analysed new videos published by @vahid.online that show rows of body bags at the Kahrizak mortuary in Tehran on 10 January.

We've counted at least 186 bodies in one clip and at least 178 bodies in another, although the true figure is likely much higher.

Wir können uns das »AbEr diE WiRTscHaFT!11!!!« Geschwafel nicht mehr leisten. Und die CDU erst recht nicht.

Unsere Wirtschaft geht kaputt, wenn wir sie nicht auf die Zukunft vorbereiten, sondern im eigenen Dreck versinken lassen.

Das ist kein Gesellschaftsspiel für Amigos. Das ist unsere Zukunft!
Der #Merz-Effekt: anders als echte Klima-Champions wie Spanien verpassen wir unter Schwarz-Rot unsere Klimaziele um hunderte Millionen von Tonnen CO2 und landen EU-weit auf dem letzten Platz. Das zieht hohe Strafen nach sich und schadet uns allen.

With Minneapolis on my mind, here some time and place in the good state of Minnesota, a freight wagon tagged with "Abe Lincoln Brigade" in remembrance of the 2800 Americans who fought against fascism in Spain in the International Brigades. Artist is Impeach Alb.

A great read from @spaincivilwartours.bsky.social . ⬇️
From the roots of 1930s fascism, to the only, anarchist city, to the pathetic appeasement from Britain, US support to the fascists (Texaco), to the culture wars of the right.
Read the Trump mob playbook cut right thru it.

I was privileged to see her at Burnley Mechanics in 2013. She only did one gig in UK that year & nobody could understand why she came to a small venue in a small town. Turned out her sis is a huge Brontë fan so she played a gig for us so she could take her to nearby Haworth. What a lovely person. ❤️

And most importantly – stay punk! 👊❤️

Cheers 🥂

Lovely piece of ephemera. Milk token label sold by the Co-op to raise funds for milk for Spanish children. Threepence+sixpence. By Dec 1938, £23,000 raised (~1.6m today!) across 426 branches, mainly in working class areas-this one is stamped Islington.
I like to imagine my grandparents buying one.

Vor 50 Jahren wurde die Gurtpflicht beschlossen obwohl eine Mehrheit dagegen war.

Vor 18 Jahren wurde ein Rauchverbot in Innenräumen beschlossen obwohl eine Mehrheit dagegen war.

Und heute traut sich die Politik nicht ein Böllverbot zu beschließen obwohl eine Mehrheit dafür ist.

Warum ist das so?
