Found an old flyer for a club night in Osaka. Still the coolest flyer I’ve ever seen. Perfect for @CoolBikeArt1 & @ArtCyclesPT #BMX #Cycling #BikeArt #Art #Design #Clubbing #Osaka #Japan

Anti-Kurdish politician Kawai Yusuke showed up to protest against a Kurdish new year festival in Saitama.
He got punched.
According to Issuikai, a Japanese nationalist organization that is against anti-Kurdish hate, Kawai was very dramatic about it.

A deer was spotted in an urban area of Osaka today. Police were dispatched to observe the situation.
The deer seemed unafraid of the many people who came to take photos, so it's being speculated that it somehow made its way to Osaka from Nara.

The password - sent to Epstein - to enter @kimbal Musk, Elon’s younger brother, 40th birthday party in 2012 was: “Pussy Riot” 👀

I had already been in jail for 7 months by then and was about to be sent to one of the most brutal labor camps in Russia

Imagine actually supporting women political prisoners instead of using their name for some fucked up shit

You're watching 1000s of antifascists hitting the streets of Turin tonight in defence of the autonomous Askatasuna social centre. This is how we do it comrades. This is resistance.

I've documented nearly 100 abuses by Russian mercenaries in Africa, yet their covert ops keep destabilizing countries and silencing victims. No big outlet backs me, so I need your help to keep going. Please donate to fund my on-the-ground investigations: https://t.co/BV0P2MY56Q

🚨 Alert: Indonesia is pushing forward with one of the world's largest deforestation projects in Papua, clearing up to 5 million acres (2 million hectares) of pristine forest for sugarcane plantations. This biodiverse hotspot is being sacrificed for bioethanol and crops.

ICE cut off her wedding ring.

Sue Tincher is a 55-year-old American citizen: a grandmother, 5’4’, and white. Just in case you thought you’d be safe.

She walked to her neighbor’s house after getting alerts that ICE was nearby. She stood across the street and asked an officer if they were ICE. They told her to “get back.” She didn’t move.

Seconds later, they threw her to the ground, handcuffed her, and hauled her away. She spent five hours in leg shackles at a federal building. Agents cut off her wedding ring and threatened to pepper-spray her in the truck. Her husband spent all day trying to find where they’d taken her. Federal officials wouldn’t tell him.

Her "crime" was simply standing on a public street, watching, and asking questions.

Read that again: here in Minnesota, a U.S. citizen was arrested, restrained, and disappeared for hours, not for interfering, not for resisting, but for asking a question.
If they can arrest Sue Tincher for standing on a public sidewalk, they can arrest anyone.

Immigration attorneys said they’re seeing constitutional violations every single day now. I’m running because we need leaders who will call this what it is- un-American, unconstitutional, and unacceptable.

Sue Tincher stood up.
I’m standing up.
We must all stand up.

The whole world is a black market. The amount of money you make depends on how you’re treated by the law and the pearl clutchers. A roadside gangster goes to prison, a white collar war criminal goes to parliament.

Being a Ukrainian online is challenging. This is about the most horrific, soul-destroying experiences one can imagine.

​When a Ukrainian chooses to go online to say they are terrified, hurting, or grieving, they not only open up to strangers, but also to enemies. Social media offers no shield from those who enter our comments to tell us, with full conviction, that the child just blasted to pieces actually deserved it.

​I say this not for pity. I say this so you understand the sheer volume of bile we wade through just to get the word out, and to know that reading all of that can make even moderately normal comments feel aggressive.

​Every time a Ukrainian person online masters enough courage to open up, please show support, because enemies will show no mercy.

1: Let’s talk about Steve Witkoff, because I think the narrative of him being a “useful idiot” is a dangerous trap to walk in.

It’s darker than that.

Witkoff has spent three decades swimming in russian money, russian mob circles, and russian real-estate pipeline.
