15 #ICE protesters in #Minnesota who defended their communities from the lawless thugs in ICE were improperly charged with criminal activity.
14 of them appeared yesterday in court to plead not guilty. A giant crowd of #Minneapolis protesters showed up outside to cheer for them. (One more remains in custody for some additional charge.)
That's showing up for the people who showed up for you. This is how the regime falls.

Figures. I should say 'expected’. Avoid corporate jobs.
It's Canada Day, and it's colonizer day.
Please, spare a thought for the treaties that Canada neglects with its Indigenous neighbours, for MMIWG, and for the TRCC's 94 Calls To Action that remain incomplete 11 years on.
Before the barbecue or the fireworks, call your MP and leave a message about Senate Bill S2 which is ready to pass and required by the Charter, per the Supreme Court's Nicholas decision. Thank you.

Six years ago, some tech-bro working for a billionaire invented a slop machine he called "A.I.", even though it isn't.
And we all got poorer, because all the art and writing was stolen to feed the slop machine.
And all the electricity was stolen to feed the slop machine.
And all the drinking water was stolen to feed the slop machine.
A gentle reminder that all civilisational wealth is stolen by billionaires.
The problem with Jeff Bezos' ideology is that it's based on a false premise. The idea that "6,000 years ago someone invented the plow" is based on a faulty belief that ancient humans functioned as individuals. They did not. Ancient humans were collectivist.
Archeological evidence demonstrates that for hundreds of thousands of years, early humans congregated around communal gathering places, like the fire, and engaged in problem solving and passing on of shared learning down through generations.
Additionally, the plow (and tools like it) were developed by humans in Mesopotamia, Europe, Egypt, East Asia, sub-Saharan Africa as well as other places - not in one place by one person. This is known as parallel development.
Believing that the plow was invented by one 'genius' is like believing language was invented by one person. It is a silly myth and represents the projection of current moral standards onto past events.
Collectivism is how we survived and progressed as a species. - Anthony Zenkus

For _______ sakes let's stop BULLSHITTING. Exxon lied to provide excuses to politicians, let's stop their lying, let's stop going along, let's NOT USE their bullshit words.
Exxon killed 1,500 in Europe this week by putting words into reporters mouths, bribe money into politicians pockets. For decades.
Exxon killed them with lies. They dont care.
They will do it again, probably millions of times. Still lying, bribing. Delaying sun and wind. For oil.
Pages Afloat / f-a-n architects
Located along the riverbank at the entrance to Huizhou Village of Letters, Pages Afloat marks the beginning of the visitor's journey through the site. Facing a thousand-year-old banyan tree across the water, the installation acts as a spatial threshold, introducing the literary narrative embedded within the village landscape.

If a church is doing it, so can you. We can boycott Coles for a start.
Trump and fascism thread 🧵
"Fascism uses propaganda as a way of mobilizing a population behind the leader. Fascist propaganda creates an awesome sense of loss, and a desire for revenge against those who are responsible.
The goal of fascist propaganda is to mobilize a population to violently overthrew multi-party democracy and replace it with the leader."

“PIRATING” IS A CAPITALIST FRAME
don’t be a cop.
If buying isn't ownership then p̶i̶r̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ SHARING isn't stealing
If buying doesn't create ownership, then p̶i̶r̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ SHARING doesn't destroy it.
SHARING is anticapitalist and antifa because sharing is caring.
