I've read most of the scholarship about US policing since the early 20th century. What you learn from this is that violence is inherent. You cannot "separate" out violence from policing. Police in the U.S. are violence workers.

A 21-year-old anti-ICE protester holding just a megaphone was permanently blinded in one eye after a federal agent fired a ‘nonlethal’ round at close range in Santa Ana. Kaden Rummler underwent six hours of surgery.

Most people can't fundraise online for life-saving winter supplies. This is one way Spark Space is providing a CRUCIAL service: internet & electricity so that workers can connect to remote jobs—to earn income.

No matter how much hate you have in your heart for the United States and the imperialist regime that has ruled here for so long, the capitalism that demands empire, it is not too much. It is not enough. Even if you are choking on pitch-black bile, they deserve more bile

New day, and a new year's wish!

We have, at last check, 210 members of the giving circle who cover 61% of our weekly goal for these six families & camp. How many pledges can we get before the new year? It means sustained help—to survive. Click "weekly": chuffed.org/project/hope...
A graphic featuring a black ink illustration of a falcon with his wings partly open. Title: “Keep Hope Alive: a Gaza giving circle” decorated with a red watercolor poppy. Text: Six families are completely starting over—amidst their grief and pain, they have lost their homes, livelihoods, and communities, and must still seek food and shelter. Help them start over and continue to survive this life-and-death situation. https://tinyurl.com/HopeGivingCircle.”

We're up to 18 pledges as support hits a record low for Ruaa and her family. Can you and your family pledge a weekly or monthly 5 for Ruaa? Their survival shouldn't rely on whether the Bluesky mods are racist or not.

A challenge for us. You know Ruaa (now DELETED, itsmeio.bsky.social) relies on this app to feed her family. Asking for help was already so degrading + she barely has internet. So...how many $5 weekly pledges can we get by Friday to ensure help even when banned?

The text says: "Ruaa alone provides for a family of seven, including her sick sister—she is exhausted, in pain, and reliant on strangers for help. Give this family hope for better days. Make a weekly recurring donation to stand by them every week, and lift the burden from young Ruaa's shoulders." In the corner says tinyurl.com/For-Ruaa.

Why recurring? Palestinians have to do such humiliating work in asking for help every single day—while coping with the reality of survival, poor internet, disability. They also simply shouldn't have to. Recurring donations remove the humiliation.

#FreeRuaa chuffed.org/project/help...
A pale purple banner with the texture of linen, and an ink sketch roses as a print in the background. The title says “Why Recurring?” The text says: "Palestinians in Gaza have to work around daily struggles and limited internet and suppression in order to reach you and ask for help. This means their ability to survive is related to how much you see and remember them—this is deeply unfair and puts a huge burden on people who already suffer so much, and who don't have the time to be doing this deeply humiliating work. When you set up a recurring donation, it means you sustain help, center their survival, and respect their dignity." In the corner says tinyurl.com/For-Ruaa.

internet mob justice is part of a family of tools whose sole purpose is to ensure the murder continues until the government is done. if that is not your purpose, look for what you want from it elsewhere.

the vigilante mode of justice practiced by the internet is intolerably indebted to the ways in which the us alphabets stalk, harass, and isolate people, because in general it was picked up both from those intelligence services directly & from others who did, most notably several big-in-cali cults

*URGENT CALL TO ACTION** Xinachtli's health continues to decline and his life hangs in the balance. After the devastating loss of Jamil Al-Amin, we cannot afford to lose another revolutionary to the jaws of the state. Plz sign up for a phone shift TODAY! bit.ly/xphoneblast
December Month of Action for Xinachtli Texas is killing Xinachtli Read and join us in taking action to prevent another revolutionary elder from dying in prison What's happening Xinachtli (Alvaro Hernandez) is a 73 year old Chicano revolutionary organizer who has survived 23 years of solitary confinement under the Texas carceral system. Today, his health has collapsed under the weight of state violence: rapid weight loss, multiple falls, severe mobility issues, and increasing difficulty breathing. He is being held in the McConnell Unit infirmary under so-called palliative care, yet denied real medical treatment, denied diagnosis, and denied access to his own medical records. During his time in the infirmary, prison staff threw away his belongings, "lost" his commissary card, and have intentionally given him incorrect forms to obstruct medical visitations and access to care. Xinachtli is hungry, isolated, and his health is rapidly declining. the state has made it clear that they intend to let him die. What you can do no. 1: phone and email blast Call the McConnell to demand they give X access to commissary and his medical records immediately: McConnell Unit: (361)362-2300 Call TDCJ Health Services to demand X receive his medical records and get transferred to a hospital for treatment IMMEDIATELY. TDCJ health services: (936)437-4271 Call or email TDCJ State Classification Committee to demand they reclassify X so he can be transferred to a medical facility TDCJ SCC: (936) 437-6231 classify@tdcj.texas.gov Our Demands Our demands below represent the minimum necessary steps to prevent the continued deterioration of his health and premature death. We DEMAND: 1. Immediate re-instatement of his access to commissary so he can obtain food, hygiene supplies, and other critical items necessary for survival. 2. immediate transfer to the TDCJ hospital in Galveston for a comprehensive medical evaluation and treatment, with complete access to his medical records and full transparency regarding all procedure. 3. Transfer to an ADA-accessible geriatric and medical unit, with Xinachtli requesting placement at the Richard P. LeBlanc Unit in Beaumont, Texas. 4. Approval of Medical Recommended Intensive Supervision (MRIS) in recognition of the severity and progression of his medical condition, ensuring he can receive appropriate care outside of TDCJ's abusive environment.

Hi other tech folks! Does anyone have recommendations for trans-friendly recruiters on the West Coast?

I’m a lead product manager with around a decade of experience. Looking to shift back to a salaried position after consulting the last couple years.

"writing code to solve a problem" used to have "understanding the problem" as a prerequisite. but vibecoding allows solution-shaped objects to be produced without any of the hard-won understanding. beware of solution-shaped objects.
