I'M YOUR BEGGAR, by EXIT ELECTRONICS 4 track album

halfway thru a first listen to this, very into it. sits somewhere on (or maybe moves along?) a continuum with power electronics and The Bug's industrial dub. iirc Broadrick once said that with Godflesh the aggression was intended as defensive. This is like that.

Melt ICE, by Minnesota Artists United Against ICE 110 track album

This was just mentioned, first I had heard about it. 110 songs from Minnesota artists, and money raised goes to mutual aid efforts. It's bandcamp Friday and your dollars will go even further today!

I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.

essentially the entire problem with doctoring is that two totally different professionsβ€” medicine and careβ€” have been combined into one, and people who want to do medicine broadly resent the expectation to perform care, to disastrous results.

Yeah exactly! And while they get to less now, I think they do still get to in relation to too many people via various dodges.

Reading this it occurs to me that really universities and a good deal else were already authoritarian a long while back but didn't, so to speak, tend to flex those muscles as often. (That's not to deny any of the rapid bad changes in the present, it's just to note they arose from longer process.)

A government may be so bad that it seems necessary only to remove it; anything else would be an improvement. This is good rhetoric but bad intelligence."

Are you thinking β€œI’m going to create an online publication with my friends”?

Why not start a zine, a homemade magazine made out of paper, instead?

🚨🚨 Operation Metro Surge is NOT over. ICE has received 4 large shipments of brand new vehicles in the past 24 hours. We urge everyone to continue to look out for their neighbors and supporting mutual aid efforts. We will not stop until ICE is OUT.

As George Orwell once said, here on the Animal Farm we must all act like we are each others' big brother, and that spirit, to me, is what makes America great.

As a social worker, I agree that Brian's book will give you a better understanding of our unhoused crisis, and from a place of empathy motivate you to want to help. Go buy his book.

I’ve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noem’s replacement.

The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual.

It’s a question of policy not personnel. The Senate should not consider any DHS Secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.
