Hey so as someone who has a degree in global politics and spent a significant amount of time studying international law — this is a textbook example of a war crime.

One of the points Joshua Davis makes in *Police Against the Movement* is that COINTELPRO was started by the police and all the FBI did was federalize it.

And SNCC and CORE did a ton of organizing around police brutality specifically.

Happy Thanksgiving; fuck colonialism!

If you’re doing some shopping over the next few days, please support local and especially BIOOC-, queer-, and worker-owned businesses.

If you’re planning to spend money on subscriptions, please support worker-owned indie media.

Thanks!

Abolish ICE.
Indigenous actor Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!
newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination
Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

I went to immigration court in Seattle to observe the kids docket. These children, some as young as three years old, are expected to understand complex legal processes and represent themselves in court.

That’s not due process.

I keep getting these people! It doesn’t matter how clear I am or which words I use. If I say it’s wrong to screen #autistic people out of the gene pool, some parent WILL jump in to tell me about their benighted child who they apparently wish didn’t exist.
Me: Eugenics is bad.

Autism Mom: You need to remember that not all autistic people are as high-functioning as you are. Your comment doesn’t take into account people like my nonverbal son.
