It’s time for New Hampshire to dump the Republican governor who is beholden to the orange king and turn more blue. This split red/blue division we have will only get worse if they manipulate districts.
I discussed a long time ago with a friend of mine, having greek parents, about countries which faced a civil war sometime in the past. And, we were close to conclude that this could never been forgotten, years after you still find the marks.
When you look at blue or red states today, this is really close to the civil war maps...
My dream is a Great Divorce where the #Indigenous elders take counsel & divide up the land that rightfully belongs to #FirstNations so #USians can live in peace & fascistbigots can see how their corporoanarchist fantasy turns out irl after Great Migration 2.0
East Side side should meet West Side and head straight down town.
Or just make a new town and let the old one die as it has decided to do.
Because the fact that the election might very well have been stolen is beside the fact of the MANY opportunities to stop all this that everyone in charge fled as fast as they could from.
Except for these few of course who are actually doing something.
Those of us living in Red States are still screwed unless Congress removes RFK Jr. I don’t know if we can get our Covid vaccines and it’s frightening. My husband was hospitalized with Covid without vaccination.
What puzzles me the most about this push to bring back all these diseases is that it will disproportionately affect those who vote for the GOP. Especially when the blue states step up and ensure their residents stay healthy. Might also impact the number of seats they have in the house over time as the population falls in those states...
Don't worry, the states rights party and calvinball court will step in because the blue states doing things for their residents is bad and the founding fathers want everything to be like the well run red states, one drought away from becoming christofascist Mad Max.
Yes! CA has made a West Coast Alliance with Washington & Oregon to share info and make their own recommendations about vaccines outside of the federal government as well.
Dopo i cartelloni dedicati all'opera e ai concerti, il Teatro Comunale Pavarotti-Freni di Modena ha annunciato quelli di danza e dei Musical: 14 spettacoli da che vanno da ottobre a maggio con alcune delle principali compagnie internazionali, novità …
The video begins with a view of a concrete surface where a line of small yellow tennis balls is arranged in a straight line, with a larger yellow tennis ball at the end. The larger ball rolls towards the smaller ones, knocking them aside and continuing to roll across the concrete. As it moves, it reveals a message on its surface: "GENOCIDE WON'T PLAY." The ball continues to roll, displaying the message more clearly, and eventually comes to a stop, prominently displaying the message and a red maple leaf symbol.
The scene transitions to a close-up of the same large yellow tennis ball, now stationary on the concrete surface. The ball is marked with red splatters and the message "GENOCIDE WON'T PLAY" is clearly visible. The camera focuses on the ball, highlighting the red splatters and the message, with the concrete surface providing a textured background. The video concludes with the ball remaining in the center of the frame, emphasizing the message and the red splatters.

This image already has alt-text ― The image shows a flyer titled "SAY NO TO SPORTSWASHING IN HALIFAX." The flyer is held by a hand against a concrete background. It is divided into several sections with bold headings and text. The top section defines "SPORTSWASHING" as the practice of using sports to distract from negative issues. The middle section, titled "HISTORY SAYS: SPORTS IS POLITICAL," discusses the tennis community's history of standing against violence and apartheid, mentioning the suspension of Russia and Belarus from the Davis Cup due to the invasion of Ukraine. The right section, "GAZA NEEDS US," highlights Israel's actions against Palestinians in Gaza and calls for the Davis Cup to be canceled and Israel suspended. The bottom section, "ALL OUT FOR PALESTINE!" provides event details for a rally at Garrison Grounds on Friday, September 12th, and The Oval on Saturday, September 13th. The flyer also includes a QR code and a list of actions to take, such as following a specific Instagram account and signing an open letter.

The video captures a scene in an urban setting, featuring a group of police officers on bicycles gathered in front of a large glass storefront. The officers are dressed in black uniforms and helmets, with some holding their bicycles and others standing nearby. A prominent advertisement on the glass window displays a person holding a bag of 'Becel Buttercrisps' snacks, with the text 'Becel Buttercrisps' visible.
Throughout the video, various pedestrians walk past the group of officers. One individual, wearing a blue hoodie, black shorts, and a backpack, walks from left to right, passing by the officers. Another person, dressed in a light pink shirt and dark pants, walks in the opposite direction. A woman in a black jacket and jeans also walks past the officers, carrying a white plastic bag.
The background includes a building with a 'zara' sign, and the scene is set on a paved area with a tree visible on the right side. The video maintains a consistent urban atmosphere, with the officers remaining stationary and the pedestrians continuing to pass by, creating a dynamic yet orderly scene.

Today's multiple shorter protests certainly demonstrated the promise of pop-up protests. They were all organized by different groups, but this definitely could be a thing.
The two that were either regularly scheduled or publicly announced were the only ones with timely police presence.
The close proximity of the latter two undoubtedly accounted for the extra cops at the earlier of the two, where normally there are like three cops.
Somewhat surprised by the paucity of cops at Indigo, but there were likely more staged close by. The Court Services van certainly appeared shortly after the wrap.
Heather did warrant actual "brass" appearing, though. Fucking Toe Beard. That shall evermore be his nickname.
The fifth action of the day (yesterday) produced some wild juxtapositions.
Videos were projected on the side of the Bell Lightbox itself and the Scotiabank theatre.
Cops threatened people with mischief and *vandalism* for projecting on a building, demonstrating why I tell people that cops are gonna overcharge and know full well that that shit won't hold up in court.
The process IS the punishment.
And I would love to announce what we're working on as pertains to the subject, but I would also like to avoid having the "I have a weird, rabid stalker" conversation with yet another org for as long as possible.
It would be weird, though unlikely, to warn someone about the stanky duo, and not have them brain hamster another org into the Great Unifying #CAHNspiracy
The video captures an outdoor film screening at night, projected onto a large screen on the side of a building. The screen displays a scene from a film featuring a child in a white shirt, with subtitles that read, "I am the line with you, my dear," followed by, "When someone shows up you can hang up, deal?" and "Please, can you come pick me up?" The setting is urban, with a bustling street scene below, including people walking and a performer in a blue costume. The building's facade is illuminated, and a banner for the Toronto International Film Festival is visible. The video transitions from the film projection to the lively street scene, highlighting the contrast between the cinematic experience and the vibrant city atmosphere.

The notorious Kowloon Walled City continues to fascinate us today, although it only lives on in drawings and photos. Thanks to one architect, though, we can see the infamous metropolis take shape through a Minecraft build.
Panasonic's market value has remained flat at approximately $25 billion over the past decade while rivals Hitachi, Sony and NEC have increased their valuations sixfold during the same period.
"La tragedia palestinese si ripete: dal 1948 a Gaza" 🧵1/7
Cosa scriverà la storia? “C'era un popolo e fu cancellato? Gli ebrei hanno cancellato i palestinesi? Diventeremo un mito, una leggenda popolare?” ✍️#HaninMajadli
⟦ Qualche giorno fa ho visto un annuncio di lavoro: “Cercasi escavatore da 40 tonnellate, compreso operatore, per lavori di demolizione nella Striscia di Gaza. Orario di lavoro dalle 7:00 alle 16:30, 6.000 shekel (1.790 $) al giorno. Il carburante diesel è a carico dell'esercito”.
Mi sono chiesta perché avessi una sensazione di déjà vu e mi sono ricordato del documentario “Blue Box” sul Fondo Nazionale Ebraico. La scena è del 1948, quando fu istituito il (primo) Comitato di Trasferimento, sulla scia del Piano di Partizione ONU
Nello #Yishuv, la comunità ebraica nella Palestina pre-statale, si discuteva su come impedire agli arabi di tornare nei loro villaggi, aiutarli a reinsediarsi altrove, insediare ebrei nelle comunità palestinesi e distruggere il maggior numero possibile di villaggi durante l'operazione militare. ⬇️2
Sullo schermo appare un documento storico: una lettera inviata da #SolelBoneh, la prima impresa edile pubblica dello Yishuv, agli uffici del JNF a Tel Aviv. Oggetto: fattura per la demolizione di villaggi in Samaria e nel sud.
Quella che era iniziata come una politica organizzata continua a funzionare utilizzando lo stesso meccanismo. L'esercito e lo Stato procedono alla demolizione delle case, allo sfollamento della popolazione, all'assegnazione delle terre e alla sostituzione della popolazione.
Non c'è nulla di casuale o di anomalo in tutto questo, solo il proseguimento di un meccanismo di controllo e pulizia etnica attraverso la distruzione e lo sterminio. ⬇️3
La storia si ripete continuamente come pratica sistematica di oppressione. Lo Stato di #Israele è stato costruito su parti della Palestina; oggi continua a costruire ed espandersi sulle parti rimanenti, fino a cancellare completamente ciò che era la #Palestina.
L'annuncio con cui si cerca un escavatore non è altro che una versione moderna e tecnologicamente avanzata della stessa politica, che trasforma la sofferenza palestinese nella rinascita israeliana.
Il giorno in cui la #Nakba di tutta la Palestina sarà completata e verranno realizzati documentari sulla “seconda Nakba”, simili alla documentazione della Prima e della Seconda Guerra Mondiale, l'annuncio di ricerca di personale verrà incorniciato come documento storico, proprio come quella fattura della Solel Boneh. ⬇️4
Un documento tecnico, apparentemente insignificante e quotidiano, prova di un meccanismo attraverso il quale un popolo è stato schiacciato, vite e terre sono state sottratte e confini sono stati tracciati a scapito dei diritti umani fondamentali.
Cosa ci sarà scritto? “C'era un popolo e fu cancellato”? Gli ebrei hanno cancellato i palestinesi? Una traccia di noi rimarrà nella storia anche dopo che non ci saremo più? Diventeremo un mito, una leggenda popolare, una storia tramandata di padre in figlio su coloro che un tempo vivevano qui?
Ogni scritto crea un documento di valore storico. Ogni parola su quello che sta accadendo qui, su ciò che lo ha preceduto e su quello che abbiamo sentito su ciò che un tempo era qui è una testimonianza degli eventi quotidiani e una previsione per il futuro. ⬇️5
Il futuro sembra il passato di cui ho sentito parlare. Scrivo come i palestinesi che hanno scritto del futuro incerto, e scrivo le stesse cose. Loro scrivevano in arabo; io scrivo già nella lingua dell'occupazione.
Il più delle volte mi sembra di vivere nella storia e non riesco a pensare al futuro, a descriverlo o persino a guardarlo con ottimismo. Ovunque vada in questa terra, vedo la riduzione della presenza palestinese, la nostra necrosi.
Come posso pensare in uno stato di angoscia simile, con la sensazione che la nostra tragedia si stia ripetendo e che presto travolgerà anche me? ⬇️6
Rhetoric from the Make America Healthy Again movement discounts the government’s responsibility for helping people with chronic illness and disabilities — in particular, autism, this writer notes. “As a scholar of rhetoric and the mother of an autistic child, in the language of #MAHA I hear a disregard for the humanity of people with disabilities and a shift from supporting them to blaming them for their needs.” https://medium.com/wise-well/maha-blames-the-ill-and-disabled-for-their-plights-37ae739dd6ff #health #healthcare #politics
By blaming chronic disease and disability on food and toxins, and ‘just asking questions' about widely accepted science, MAHA discounts the government’s responsibility for meeting disabled peoples’ needs.
I actually saw these clouds from my backyard late one summer evening, and they inspired me to come right inside and paint the scene. They didn't look entirely real when I saw them, and the mysterious quality of the light made me want to document them in a larger project. 1/2

Aggiornamento importante: sul primo weekend di Ottobre siamo sold-out. Cercasi ingaggi con cachet faraonici nel secondo weekend dal 9 all'11. Fatevi avanti stronzi, grazie mille, ciao! 👍😋 poliverso.org/display/0477a01e…
Solo perché siamo gypsy (reggae) nessuno vuole ingaggiarci 😭
Ingaggiateci Stronzi - Profondo Nord Edition 🎪🙌🤣
Gentile pubblico e coraggiosi impresari dell’Italia Boreale, la presente è per avvertire che Sabato 4 Ottobre lo stimato fondatore del Reggae Circus, Mr. Adriano Bono in persona, partirà verso il profondo nord per partecipare in versione one-man-band a un festival bellissimo chiamato Freak Circus Festival, nella bella e famosa località di Fara Gera D’Adda, nella solare provincia di Bergamo. Siccome il viaggio è lungo si starebbe cercando date d’appoggio super strapagate per dare più senso logistico alla trasferta. Si potrebbe fare spettacolo in versione one-man-band, oppure insieme a due o più artisti circensi a formare un piccolo ma esplosivo Reggae Circus, con anche dj-set finale volendo, così diventa un festone. Insomma, ce n’è per tutti i gusti, a fronte chiaramente di un lauto pagamento in dobloni d’oro. Se siete particolarmente ricchi e attrezzati possiamo anche allungarci con la band al gran completo e fare un Reggae Circus vero e proprio su palco grande. Però non so se i vostri cuori sono pronti e i vostri forzieri pieni abbastanza per tanta bellezza.
ATTENZIONE: se dalle vostre parti sul weekend indicato non si muove una foglia sappiate che lo stesso discorso vale anche per il weekend successivo, in quanto anche sull’11 Ottobre si avrebbe data secca nel profondo nord e quindi si starebbe cercando date d’appoggio, per il direttore da solo oppure con tutta la gang al seguito, dipende sempre dal vostro Isee.
Forza gente, fuori i dobloni, con il Reggae Circus (o con solo pezzi di esso!) aspettiamo solo voi impresari coraggiosi e il vostro gentile pubblico, per metterci in marcia con i nostri carrozzoni sgangheratissimi 🎪🤹🙌😅

La imagen muestra a tres mujeres vestidas de brujas, sentadas en una habitación acogedora y mágica. Cada una de ellas lleva un sombrero de bruja y auriculares, y están rodeadas de elementos mágicos y decorativos. La mujer en el centro sostiene un bastón mágico y está escuchando música de un radio antiguo con un logo que dice "mdt radio", que emana un brillo azul y violeta. La mujer a la izquierda está mirando un dispositivo digital, mientras que la mujer a la derecha está leyendo un libro antiguo. La habitación está iluminada por velas y tiene estantes llenos de botellas de pociones, hierbas y libros. Una ventana muestra una luna creciente, y un gato negro con ojos verdes está sentado en el suelo. La escena transmite una atmósfera de magia y tranquilidad.
