So fucking upset that I spent half a year or so working 80-90 hour weeks primarily to get Lisa Brown elected to congress. I was in meetings with her every other week, I know she's been to protests before, I know she knows how this works. Utterly despicable

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

One year ago today, NASA flagship Europa Clipper launched. Today, NASA JPL, which built it, fired another 500 people. (They've lost 25% of workers total.) We're sacrificing scientists and engineers to build concentration camps and gaudy White House ballrooms. NASA is in crisis. America is in crisis.

If elected leaders in Spokane are serious about public safety, they should be putting more money into our library system, not considering cutting library hours to fix a deficit created by a bloated police budget.
Want to reduce crime? Science says: build more libraries.
I’m always happy to find a new reason why libraries make eveything better, and today I’m pleased to report that some very serious academics have concluded that public libraries are the urban planni…

Mayor Brown says none of the layoffs will come from "public safety" departments. In other words cops get to keep their jobs and their 25% raises and social services will be cut. The police are defunding spokane

So like, is the manosphere just one giant slimepool of lead psychosis?
paris.nyc
nearly all the plant-based products we tested had elevated lead levels: vegan powders had 9x as much lead as dairy and 2x as much as beef

though dairy-based powders had the lowest levels, half were still too contaminated for safe daily use

you may be asking: how could this be? well...

Feeling some kinda way about my last post here. In Spokane our court system is at least kinda honest about how racist it is, and I guess I'm grateful for that?

Greatly appreciate these dashboards and how accessible our court is in general in Spokane county. One of the things we are really doing right

Spokane county is 1.3% Native per the 2020 census (per wikipedia, census website is down currently). Today, 5.98% of the people held in detention in Spokane are Native. Below is a screenshot from the county detention dashboard from 10/13

Just heard iron maiden on the radio and remembered that their third (I think but might have been fourth or fifth) lead singer rented a room from my girlfriends parents when I was in highschool and one of our friends tried to get him to buy us beer. He said no.

Happy #IndigenousPeoplesDay, and a reminder that the legacy of centuries of oppression and theft from Native people is their vast overrepresentation in state prisons:

Telling the federal court that IL police can handle Broadview was part of the state's legal strategy against national guard being deployed here.

But it's hard to square that as for the good of protestors or Illinoisans as a whole, when IL police are perfectly willing to drag and beat them anyway.

state police continue to push protesters down 25th street. at one point, cops swarmed a group of people and pushed them to the ground.

multiple people arrested.

Wasn't exactly private and we were pushed together by a certain local journalist but yes. I do feel I should give her credit for having that conversation with me in a very loud bar. I disagree strongly with her on many points and I do not trust her but I respect that she talked with me.

October 11 is International Coming Out Day.

I say it's long overdue for people to accept us for who we are. So, let me say this loud and clear:

We're here and WE'RE NERDS!

Oh, and some of us are gay, deal with it. 😎🖖🏻🤟🏻

You know what? Their lives DO depend on it, and that’s the beauty of the classroom, of art and literature and poetry. Been ruminating on this recently: the fascist project wants us to buy into the grey, uniform culture it forces us to regard; to revel in and study art, to *make it*—revolutionary

week 7, in a city under siege for 32 days and counting, and the students who are able to come to class despite the blitz are showing up like their lives depend on those 50 minutes of togetherness, poetry, and big questions

IDK, man. School started 2 weeks ago for us, and once again students remind me that they’re so curious and interested in the world and anxious to ask big questions. We hear that these questions are no longer useful or relevant, but wherever that’s coming from, it’s not what students believe.

Like a local hot ones style debate and a pub crawl with local electeds and activists in the span of a month or so? Who else is doing work like that?
