Die USA zeigen, was uns bevorstehen könnte, wenn wir den hässlichen Populismus der Rechtsextremen nicht klein kriegen. Trump nutzt das Leid der Bevölkerung zu politischen Erpressung, um Superreichen noch mehr Macht zu verschaffen. Extremer als Merz, aber was wäre in ein paar Jahren?
Gleichzeitig gibt es auch Initiativen aus der US-Bürgerschaft, die Hoffnung machen und zeigen, dass Solidarität weiterhin existiert.

One of our most important projects was the "food security committee" which made sure that our members always ate. It expanded out and now members of that committee still can food and bring it to houseless camps (among other things).
This is disaster prep work. We are in a disaster, how do you prepare for it to get worse? How to you prepare to come out the other side?
The only way we survive this level of disaster is together. Organize around that idea and you'll already be building the world we want to see on the other side.

🚨 Listeriosis outbreak update - Ireland
Salad leaves and spinach added to list.
Nothing like cooking and enjoying a lovely HelloFresh meal and then reading the latest listeria notice that it now includes the McCormack Family Farms Irish Spinach Leaves you just used in the sauce.
I did cook it well and it was steaming hot so 🤞
Really silly dream
I had a really silly #dream recently. I dreamt that my CFL broke. Or more specifically, it kept trying to turn out, successive parts of it were lighting up, then it all went off and tried again. And it looked like it had a bunch of cuts across it, and around these cuts little thunder sparks started appearing, like some kind of STALKER-like anomaly.
I finally flipped the switch, but the anomaly remained, and I wanted to get rid of it in case the sparks could jump onto my hardware and damage something. So I threw a metal bowl towards it, supposing the thunder would jump onto it. While it was flying near the anomaly, it slowed down and started turning back like a boomerang. On top of that, pieces of cat food (don't ask me why I threw a full bowl) were getting out of it and staying in the air levitating. When the bowl reached the floor and started turning again, Mr Ek came close to it and started levitating himself; he was sitting a few centimeters above the floor.
In the middle of all this, I've figured out I should record it. I took a bunch of photos with my phone, before I managed to switch to recording video.
Once I've recorded the fascinating flying bowls and levitating cat food, I needed to go back to discharging the thing. I threw a second metal bowl, and that one started levitating as well. I've figured out that's stupid, and I've found some big ass hammer with a metal end and a wooden handle. I held the end near the lamp to charge it, then tried to find something to discharge it to. I've tried some small stuff like the door handle, but obviously that wasn't sufficient. Finally, I've figured out to use the electricity box, since it is grounded. I held the hammer to it, watching sparks light the semi-darkness; I've recorded that as well.
And that's how much of it I remember.

The prospect of families not receiving food aid has deeply concerned states run by both parties.
Democratic lawmakers have written to Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins requesting to use contingency funds to cover the bulk of next month’s food aid benefits.
But a USDA memo that surfaced Friday says
“contingency funds are not legally available to cover regular benefits.”
The document says the money is reserved for such things such as helping people in disaster areas…

“If you ask people who study the topic, they will tell you that a modern famine is a man-made disaster. Natural disasters can play a part. For example, flooding and drought can destroy crops, but relief agencies and wealthy governments can now get aid where it needs to go. So it is ultimately war and political will that keeps enough food from being grown or delivered in places like Ethiopia and Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, Haiti and North Korea and, of course, now in Gaza.”

As anarchists, when we were organizing against Trump, in the lead up to and early in his last term, we recognized the potential for repression. Radicals have always been targeted, but now he's going after moderate liberals. This is going to keep escalating, so it would be a good idea for liberals to *listen to anarchists* since we've been doing this for years.
Anarchists have been kidnapped and held without charges for months at a tim (check out https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_grand_jury_resisters. Only for those folks, they were kidnapped and held without trial under Obama.) Radicals have been doing this for years. It's worth your time to listen so you know how to prepare.
We had a bail fund set up. Support your local bail fund and don't try to start your own (liberals in Seattle did that last time). We focused on basic survival for our members. When the regime cracks down it will be random (since they can't get everyone). How are you going to support folks? Bail funds are a nice first step, but the whole process can take a long time. People can (and often do) lose their jobs, even if they aren't convicted of anything. Are you going to make sure targeted people are able to pay rent and get food? Are you going to make sure families are taken care of when a parent is kidnapped?
Resistence is only a threat if it's sustainable, otherwise they can just overpower and wait. You have to be able to wait longer. Occupations are *extremely* expensive. If you can support each other through an occupation, you can win.
So what is your plan? How are you going to make sure that those who fight can keep fighting? The best time to think about that question was under Biden. The second best time is now.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Wednesday
he is deploying the state’s National Guard to help staff food banks
amid the ongoing federal government shutdown.
Newsom said the move mirrors steps he took during the COVID-19 pandemic a few years ago.
He warned that the prolonged shutdown
— now in its 22nd day
— could disrupt California’s CalFresh program,
which provides food benefits to about 5.5 million residents.
