What does jamming a crowbar into the fracture point look like?
When the Trump admin says they’re backing off deporting agricultural workers, remind the racists that Trump screwed them over to appease its ultawealthy corporate ag owners.
When the Trump admin keeps deporting undocumented people seeking work and thus drains the abusable labor pool, remind the rich corps who employ those people that Trump screwed them over to appease the racist chucklefucks who really control it.

An All-sky Survey of White Dwarf Merger Remnants: Far-UV is the Key
The majority of merging white dwarfs leave behind a white dwarf remnant. Hot/warm DQ white dwarfs with carbon-rich atmospheres have high masses and unusual kinematics. All evidence points to a merger origin. Here, we demonstrate that far-UV + optical photometry provides an efficient way to identify these merger remnants. We take advantage of this photometric selection to identify 167 candidates in the GALEX All-Sky Imaging Survey footprint, and provide follow-up spectroscopy. Out of the 140 wit…

I have my share of issues with Parkrose Permaculture, but she has a lot of things I do strongly agree with. I can't stress enough that you never dehumanize your enemies. You can respond appropriately to violence. You can defend yourself from them by any means necessary. But you do not dehumanize them. You always limit your response to the minimum necessary to defend yourself.
There are a number of former Nazi skins who became antifascists after realizing they were wrong. Those folks tend to be some of the most dedicated because they feel a debt, and some of the most knowledgeable because they were there. Coming out of these types of cults, police included, is hard and takes time. A lot of us don't have the ability to work with them. But some do.
By repeatedly humanizing your opponent, you can break some of them. The #Seattle Police Department was not defunded but saw a massive reduction in numbers because their morale was destroyed. Some people will never change. Some people are broken and feel like they need the power. But if you change one person's mind, even give them something to think about, it's a crack. If even one cop quits, that's one less trained gun pointed at you in the future.
The 18 year old marines and federalized national guard troops out there are literally kids. A lot of them came from poor communities. They are being used in a way they haven't been trained to do, doing things they (should) have been told are not legal. They joined to get out of poverty, to go to college, or to "defend the American people" (regardless of how misguided that is). Few, if any, of them joined to abuse people. They will be especially open to persuasion.
Remind those troops that they are carrying out illegal orders, that they are being called on to violate their oath to protect the constitution, that they are suppressing the free speech of the fellow Americans they swore to defend. Remind them that the people they could be illegally arresting now are just like their parents, their neighbors, their families, the friends who didn't join. Remind them that this is the first step. They will be called on to kill Americans if they let this keep going.
Remind them ICE sleeps in hotels while they sleep on the ground. Remind them that their drunk and incompetent leadership thinks of them as disposable tools. Remind them that some of these people are out protesting *for them* against cuts to the VA and other services. Remind them that the people they're defending refuse to make college free so they can recruit from poor schools. Remind them that they will always be welcome when they're ready to join the side of freedom and justice.
When you dehumanize your enemies, you unify them. When you humanize your enemies, you can divide them. There is no weapon available to us right now so powerful as compassion.

En commençant cette série de textes, cherchant Š remonter je ne sais quelle origine pour mieux comprendre ce que j’appelle « littérature » ou ce que j’en attends, j’avais une idée préconçue : je pensais que mon appétit de lecture avait originellement Š voir avec la connaissance, le savoir.

#Vancouver folks: They’ve renamed Trutch St (thank goodness, Trutch was an asshole), its new name translated into English is “Musqueamview”. In Musqueam that’s “šxʷməθkʷəyΓəmasəm” which, it turns out, sounds like “sh-musqueam-awesome” to my ears. I think it’d be cool if we were all saying sh-musqueam-awesome to each other.

Deflection of light by dark matter supporting traversable wormholes in the framework of Kalb-Ramond gravity
This study explores the possible formation of asymptotically flat traversable wormholes within dark matter halos under the framework of Kalb-Ramond gravity. The wormhole solutions are derived based on the King and Navarro-Frenk-White dark matter density profiles associated with anisotropic matter sources. For a particular set of parameters, the proposed shape functions are found to be positively increasing and satisfy all the essential geometric conditions along with the flare-out condition, th…

X-ray Measurements of $^{44}$Ti in Four Supernova Remnants
We present the results of a search for scandium K$_α$ X-ray fluorescence resulting from $^{44}$Ti electron capture decay in four young supernova remnants. We analyzed archival XMM-Newton data from Tycho's SNR, Kepler's SNR, Cassiopeia A, and SN 1987A. We fit the X-ray spectra in regions of interest with up to four components, thermal and power-law, as needed to fit the spectrum, and add a gaussian to test for extra Sc emission. While all require the line with modest confidence, none represent …
