I’ve been slowly updating my liked playlist songs to the highest bitrate, if available, for this very reason.

If possible, do not bring your real phone. Write at least one phone number on your body in sweat-proof sharpie in case you get kettled and need to call someone.

Wear a mask, if you're going to be crowded in with people.

Wear the most common and nondescript clothing you can.

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

While the Israeli government provided interpreters and lawyers for the French activists, Haecho received no legal assistance.

“When I asked for a lawyer, a soldier mockingly told me, ‘I don’t have a phone. Use yours,’” she said.

If you didn’t know, Alaska has been hit by a massive storm, causing severe flooding. Many Indigenous villages have been completely wiped out, with some houses floating away with PEOPLE INSIDE THEM. Please keep posting to spread the info. They need help.

News Eye @newseye.bsky.social · 2d

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

Flooding seen with water up to the crash barriers of local roads

Sheds and debris lie scattered in the storm

A small blue house has been blown onto its roof
