The wife of a Methodist pastor stood up and suggested people brush up on the OSS sabotage manual
![Jill Warren, the wife of a Methodist pastor, suggested residents brush up on the OSS’ Simple Sabotage Field Manual. “Simply slow things down bureaucratically," she said. “Make sure we block where we can.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now
I am hereby putting a 200% tariff on all fauns dryads and talking beavers as well as turkish delight. Narnia has been very bad to us.
“Pedocon theory does not involve secret networks of underground tunnels where adrenochrome is harvested for reptilian overlords. Pedocon theory is not hiding beneath twelve layers of misdirection. Pedocon theory is rooted in the basic politics of the reactionary right.”

A US firm (Boston Consulting Group) was paid $4M+ to model ethnically-cleansing 500,000 people from Gaza. This is the same firm that helped establish the 'aid' operation currently murdering Palestinians every single day. (They have now disavowed that depraved project.) www.ft.com/content/c0e6...
But we're going to touch the stove and we'll be touching it more than probably ever before. And we're not going to get burned. We're not going to get burned
which do you think is more true: that the median voter mostly agrees with dems but hates trans people, or that the median voter thinks dems are spineless and stand for nothing
Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people

Not sure if this has been shared here yet, but this is video of Rumeysa Ozturk's arrest posted by WCVB. It's terrifying.
It’s up to Stephen Miller to poke around in the entrails of a bald eagle to divine the president’s will because none of these cabinet-level officials could understand what Trump’s decision about bombing Yemen was and none want to go back and clarify in case he gives a concrete answer they don’t like
We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.
