Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life. And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

I’ve known and loved this legendary team-up between Chan Marshall and Loren Mazzacane Connors forever — but never knew there was video. Somehow it’s even more transfixing. doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/8159645...

Doom & Gloom From The Tomb

Cat Power & Loren Mazzacane Connors - Tonic, New York City, October 7, 1999 Thanks to Jordan for alerting me to the recent upload of this classic, one-time-only (?) team-up — Chan Marshall and Loren.....

Finally making my way around to The Durutti Column! Proper guitar magic here - my kind of thing. God bless artists and the people that support them. Once again that feeling that it's all there, just waiting for us to discover when we're ready

LP: The Durutti Column - The Return of the Durutti Column (Factory Records, UK - 1980) This is the 2nd pressing in a lightweight, textured mostly black sleeve with a triptych of small painted landscapes. The original pressing came in a literal sandpaper sleeve which was designed to be abrasive towards any adjacent objects!
Auschwitz Memorial@auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.
