American celebrations of independence get it all wrong by focusing on the Founders. The actual spirit of revolution lies with the people who fight the powerful and it exists everywhere and cannot be destroyed, no matter how hard the wealthy might try. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/notes-on-t...
Notes on the Revolution: Reflections on the U.S. at 250
The American mythology is evaporating. What's left is necessary reality.

This pride month I will donate any profit made on my flag mugs and shirts (as well as the Men is too Headache design I pinched from @hannahchutzpah.bsky.social's tweet, as always) to MA for LGBTQIA+ people. Also assorted other thematically appropriate things:
I just got my student loans forgiven. I had about $38,000 in loans from grad school after paying for 10 years I was at a balance of $41,000. This will be an extra $500 per month for my family. Imagine what people in this country could do with free or even cheap education. We could be great.
These e-scooters and bikes are an extension of car culture - individualism, privatisation, capitalism, and rentierism. They're solutions to a problem that wouldn't exist if we just had more buses and trams. Build the fucking trams!

As an aside US missiles need ammonium perchlorate. The only domestic source is a facility in Cedar City, Utah US missiles also need RDX & HMX. The only domestic source is a facility in Kingsport, Tennessee US missiles also need engines. The only domestic source is a facility in Pontiac, Michigan
Hi! Thanks for the #artshare! I do glitchy abstracts, transformative photo edits, and fun shirt designs!
We off the richest person in Britain and take all their stuff and give it to everyone else and then we work our way down the list of the next richest people doing the same until everyone else can afford food, warmth and housing. If we can't afford poor people, we can't afford rich people.
Jonathan Portes@jdportes.bsky.social · 4mo ago..what does "ordinary people should not pay for this crisis" mean? A rise in oil/energy prices makes the UK, collectively, significantly poorer. There is just no way that government can, or should, insulate 99%(or whatever) of the population from the impact of that.
Iran just reportedly hit an Oracle data center in Dubai and i can't stop thinking about how good it would feel to see my tax dollars spent firing Tomahawk cruise missiles at data centers.

Got some stuff going on that needs action but we have to leave this place in the morning, so it'll have to wait until after the moving. In the meantime though: if you could make standplaatskrakow.etsy.com go hyperviràl that would make things less scary...

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

I'm also always open to discuss any other opportunities (design, proofreading, dutch to english and vice versa translating, creative consulting and more,) keeping in mind that my health does put limitations on my availability. DMs are always open, e-mail is in the linktree in my bio.

War is massacre of people who don't know each other for the profit of people who do know each other but don't massacre each other.
They're building concentration camps with my tax money Chuck. They're torturing children. They're murdering innocent people on the street. What are you doing.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.gov · 6mo agoOur DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable. We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow. Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.
If your parlay on the big game commercials pays out big, you might consider making a nice donation. I'm running on fumes.
Kids at the local middle school walked out today. And boy howdy turns out people in this town love ICE and hate kids.
What is violence? Is it tossing a tear gas canister back to the mercenaries who shot it at you? Is it blowing a whistle at bounty hunters who are trying to abduct someone? Perhaps, rather than asking whether an action is "violent," we should ask— Does it perpetrate oppression? Or interrupt it?
The Illegitimacy of Violence, the Violence of Legitimacy
What is violence? Who gets to define it? Does it have a place in the pursuit of liberation? This discussion never takes place on a level playing field.

You know how the German army basically ran on amphetamines? What do you think ICE is getting?
