reminds me of this one study (Flach et al., 1997) that states:

"the productivity of the US Great Plains decreased 71% during the 28 years following that first European tillage."

this is their legacy.

the genocide has not ended. it never did. i feel like i dont hear much about palestine anymore just bc they announced a ceasefire but israel completely ignored it. theyre still killing palestinians. theyre still cutting off supply boats. do not stop talking about palestine.

Happy birthday to a real one. Fun fact, John Brown trained his men 15 miles away from Iowa City before the Harper’s Ferry raid

never has minneapolis needed to celebrate the sun coming more than at the end of winter 2026. ICE are not gone completely, but we still won, and it was incredibly cathartic to see this play at mayday about protecting our neighbors, grounding why we did this work. i love this city

u of m public historians have launched this project to document via photography the signs and artwork left at the sites of ICE abductions in minnesota before they are lost to time

2/2 That question opened a whole new field: why is the rest empty? Are those forms impossible ? Unexplored?

As always, limpets aren't far: they sit at one of the extremes of the diagram. More, including a ling with Gaudi's architecture, here👇

observing immigration court at the whipple building is a a critical experience to understanding what is happening after operation metro surge to everyone who was taken by ICE. highly recommend people witness it if they can

Police are already everywhere. TheUS has been a police state and if you haven't noticed, it's probably that word everyone now hates acknowledging, "privilege," at work.

The groundwork has been well laid. It's the very foundation of this shitpile.

These convictions are fucking insane. Being deemed a terrorist basically for being an anarchist. This is basically a modern Haymarket Affair.

"Roughly 90,000 people have been arrested since (2022). Most are being held in pretrial detention, in grim conditions. Human rights organisations believe thousands without any ties to gangs have been swept up and have documented more than 400 deaths in custody."

[Oliver Weilein, Iowa City Councilor @Ollie_XVX]

Very excited to work with our amazing librarians and read stories of community and compassion to our little ones! Perhaps some guitar and singalong? 🤔Come to ICPL March 19th at 1030am to find out!
