quote [ On July 13, 2019, Willem Van Spronsen was killed by police while
attacking transportation infrastructure for the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, WA. The Northwest Detention Center can hold over 1,500 people, making it the largest immigration prison on the west coast, and one of the largest immigrant detention facilities in the country. ] “I, John Brown am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood.”

quote [ @Narnold 15 hours ago
Its so weird how brains work, like l'm looking at this laughing at people spending money on overpriced shoes but then I look to my right and see my thousands of dollars worth of cardboard I collected over the years in Magic the Gathering cards, and feel shame. @Boy_Boy 18 hours ago Noooo, MTG is sick! Its the greatest game in the world and it transcends consumerism ] Lol. Tbh I expected them to make more jokes around the phrase commodity fetishism.

quote [ As we celebrate Transgender Day of Visibility in 2025, I want to take a moment to highlight a painful reality that often goes unnoticed—the horrific situation of transgender individuals who flee their home countries seeking safety, only to find themselves trapped in yet another cycle of persecution and neglect. ]
Also, an excerpt I like from Trans Liberation: Beyond Pink or Blue by Leslie Feinberg, in the extended.

quote [ This piece has been brewing in my head over the last few years as I’ve watched a dramatic shift happen. In a very generous framing of this dynamic, a growing number of people are questioning: what possesses someone to still wear a mask, aren’t they just anxious and paranoid?! This has created tension in families, partnerships, friendships, workplaces, social groups, and other communities. Since the answer is unclear to many, I want to address this.
And I say all this as a mental health professional who specializes in working with the chronically ill and disabled communities; is trained to recognize the impacts of trauma, cognitive biases, and thought distortions; with education and training in research methodology who has poured over infectious disease research for several years; who has lived with Long COVID and been part of this community for 5 years; and who has welcomed far too many new faces to this community in recent years. ] Pretty decent piece. Covers most of the bases.

quote [ A few answers to the frequently asked questions I'm seeing:
1) How much did the government pay you? Answer: Nothing, I was paid $0 to make this video. I just took a private trip to China and brought my cameras. 2) Was this a government-sponsored trip? Answer: No, I chose the factories I wanted to visit and a Florida-based bicycle trade group helped me with connections. I'm just a private guy with a few cameras. ] Pretty interesting look into behind the scenes of the E-Bike industry. That Yandea factory was very impressive.

quote [ LAS SANDINISTAS. uncovers a watershed moment in history when a group of Nicaraguan women shattered barriers to lead rebel troops in battle and reshape their country with landmark social reforms during 1979's Sandinista Revolution and the ensuing US-backed Contra War - only to face renewed marginalization by their male peers once the wars ended. Now, 35 years later, amid the worst levels of violence against women in Nicaraguan history, these same women take to the streets to lead the popular movements for equality and democracy once again. ]
Happy International Working Women's Day!

quote [ This is an educational video. Where professional stunt men show us the process of lighting people on fire safely. DO NOT ATTEMPT ANYTHING YOU SEE IN THIS VIDEO. THIS WAS PERFORMED BY PROFESSIONALS AND SUPERVISED BY PROFESSIONALS. ]
Oh sure, Stuntmen are allowed to light people on fire, but when I try to do it I'm "Fomenting a Class War" and "Banned from Davos."
