They’re sweeping the Pigs Eye encampment this morning. Shame on Mayor Her.

Mark Wasson@reportermark.bsky.social · last wk.

I’m here at the Fish Hatchery encampment in St. Paul as the city prepares to sweep the camp. St. Paul cops are stopping cars coming in but there are dozens of people that have gathered here in anticipation of the sweep in order to help camp residents and document what the city does here today.

Choosing to go forward with this violence against the wishes and best practice understanding of every other portion of local government and every field expert is shameful and the Mayor should be ashamed.

Due to the wildfires currently burning in the Pacific Northwest it is being projected that smoke will once again blanket many regions, which is a reminder yet another important reminder that as long as you’re breathing there’s still time for you to start masking again.

Fuck this, and fuck ICE.

As well as destroying the environment, overturning people’s critical thinking skills, and causing harm to people living near its data centers AI steals its content DIRECTLY from writers, artists, poets, etc. Shame on them using generative AI to “teach” children about poetry! Invite poets instead!

We talk about the "political class" here but I think some folks are missing the forest for the trees here. See, at the start of Covid what I recall was the moment the "we're all in this together" rhetoric ended was when we got indication Black folks had worse outcomes.

the Mountain Goats@themountaingoats.bsky.social · 2w ago

I agree strongly with this -- in that difficult moment, the possibility of collective effort was conceivable. Not everybody felt it, but many did. I think the political class did not like this one bit.

When it looked like, in the first few months, that Black and brown people might actually be a bit more resistant and white Americans felt threatened there was a lot of willingness to work together. Then it became clear that more non-white were dying and suddenly folks wanted everything open.

Dave Andress@davidandress.bsky.social · 2w ago

Covid lockdowns demonstrated, in a deeply imperfect way, the possibility of large-scale social solidarity for a higher cause. That is a prime reason why so many powerful people want us to run screaming away from them into the comforting arms of selfish individualist competition.

I'm here once a day to remind you that all this discourse doesn't make a difference. YOU do. Your attention and care are what help people survive. Umm Omar's father has needed life-saving surgery for over a month. Read that back. He can't keep waiting.. chuffed.org/project/1550...
