Site-blocking isn’t just theoretically dangerous. Italy’s system blocked hundreds of innocent websites. Spain’s swept up domains belonging to Greenpeace and Harvard. Now Congress wants to bring this to the U.S. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

she said "you can do anything in fiction as long as the situation afterwards is more interesting that the situation before." since then i have been keeping an eye on character death in fiction. many writers seem to think that character death "raises the stakes" but actually just makes things boring

It’s Time to Allow Marijuana Use in Prison

K2 is arguably the most popular drug in prison. It’s also dangerous and deadly. We could allow pot use behind bars as a form of harm reduction.

1200 sexual assault reports in 6 years. That’s 1 every 2 days. Only 7 resulted in an expulsion or dismissal. Only 14 resulted in a suspension. Cornell is a rapist factory. Drive it out of business. Also, only 5-13% of college women who are assaulted report it. That’s 5-6 assaults a day.

I believe fraternity hazing and military hazing and sports team hazing where men abuse each other is acclimating them into a broader culture of abuse where they will then believe it is their right to abuse other more vulnerable people. It’s so insidious. And that’s also why I think men defend it

As we have said for years—the Trump administration is only pretending to fight antisemitism in order to make themselves the arbiters of what counts as antisemitic. Their real goal is to crush anti-Zionism and subordinate all Jewish people to the Christian Nationalist agenda.

Following up our coverage of current anti-ICE flashpoints around the country, we recommend this online public meeting featuring organizers from anti-ICE and anti-border fights that are underway in Arizona, Minnesota, Vermont, and Austin, Texas. Full information about the event is in the alt text.

⁨📷⁩ ⁨PLEASE SHARE PUBLICLY: On Tuesday, September 29th at 5:00pm PT and Arizona/6:00pm MT/7:00pm CT/8:00pm ET, Let's Go! will be hosting an Emergency Call on Anti-ICE flashpoints that are happening right NOW. Joining us will be those on the ground from four current struggles that have open calls for action:

-The Minnesota 15 Anti-Repression Committee, who are calling for an international day of solidarity actions on Saturday, October 3, to express support for the fifteen defendants who have been federally charged for allegedly conspiring to resist the violence of ICE;

-The National Week of Action to SHUT DOWN ICE VT from October 4-9 in Chittenden County, Vermont - ICE operations across the nation are dependent on the surveillance infrastructure in Vermont - this week of mass action aims to SHUT this nerve center DOWN;

-Activists who have been on the ground in Lochiel, Arizona where a treesit and anti-border camp have been blocking the construction of the border wall for over two months. Lochiel is one site of struggle along a 2000-mile contested border and our neighbors there are calling everyone to join them in the struggle of direct action and land defense;

-Activists from Dare to Struggle in Austin, Texas, resisting and responding to the shooting of Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez by an ICE agent on Sunday, September 20th.

It is critical we connect and network our local struggles throughout the country to apply heat on ICE this October. Let's Go! is an organizing network that offers strategy, training and community. We move fast, share tools and trainings, and help local struggles take on national significance (https://letsgonetwork.org/).
