Notice how they're trying to smear the victim, not bring the perpetrator to justice

They're doing it because murdering wine moms is the MAGA wet dream

Human rights groups estimate more than 500 people have been killed and more than 10,600 arrested in the ongoing protests.

Thanks to whoever suggested I draw the rest of the solar system in the previous post.

I kid you not, this is how my EV engine area looks like:

Thousands of nurses are hitting the picket lines in what will be the largest nurses strike in the history of New York City.

The New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA) on Monday announced that nearly 15,000 nurses at Mount Sinai Hospital, Mount Sinai Morningside and West, Montefiore, and NewYork-Presbyterian are going on strike after "greedy hospital management at these wealthy private hospitals have given frontline nurses no other choice."

The NYSNA posted a long list of sticking points on contract negotiations, including "safe staffing for our patients, protections from workplace violence, and healthcare for frontline nurses."

NYSNA president Nancy Hagans said that any patients in need of care at these hospitals should enter them, emphasizing that "going into the hospital to get the care you need is not crossing our strike line." She also encouraged patients to join the picket line with the nurses after receiving care.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani spoke out in solidarity with the striking nurses, while also emphasizing the importance of "ensuring New Yorkers have the care they need... especially during flu season."

"No New Yorker should have to fear losing access to healthcare," Mamdani wrote in a social media post. "And no nurse should be asked to accept less pay, fewer benefits, or less dignity for doing lifesaving work. Our nurses have kept this city alive through its hardest moments. Their value is not negotiable."

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) also expressed support for the striking nurses, while denouncing "NewYork-Presbyterian, Montefiore, and Mount Sinai hospitals for being willing to spend millions on replacement nurses rather than bargain for a fair contract."

The NYSNA also got a boost from 1199SEIU, which is the largest union of healthcare workers in New York.

"At this time of unprecedented cuts to Medicaid and other healthcare programs by Republican leaders in Washington, DC healthcare workers should not bear the brunt of funding shortfalls," said 1199SEIU president Yvonne Armstrong. "More than ever, we need stability in our healthcare system, which means investing in the type of good healthcare jobs which are fundamental to the wellbeing of caregivers and the communities they serve."

Armstrong also called on the hospitals to "bargain in good faith with NYSNA, refrain from committing unfair labor practices, and sign fair contracts that honor nurses’ contributions."

Denver, CO – On January 7, 250 people gathered outside the GEO ICE detention facility in response to the killing of Renee Good by an ICE agent. Good was observing an ICE raid in Minneapolis, one of Trump’s target cities in his campaign to escalate his deportation agenda.

Community members in Denver came together for a vigil for Good and the political prisoners ICE has taken and put in detention in Aurora. Many groups came out to support families of detained prisoners and to further demand the end of GEO contracts in Colorado.

Brandon Gehrke, a member of Aurora Unidos CSO, led the rally in chanting, “Power to the people! No one is illegal!” According to Gehrke, “Members of our community will show up in solidarity when one of us is attacked, not just to mourn the death of Renee Good but for the political prisoners behind these walls.”

The GEO detention center, which, until recently, held activist Jeanette Vizguerra, is known in Aurora for its inhumane treatment of its occupants. Observers who have been inside note a lack of sanitation across the entire building and practically inedible food for detainees. GEO has also failed to provide medicine and medical services to those inside the facility.

Members of Aurora Unidos CSO demand that GEO end its contract with ICE and stop the illegal arrest and deportation of the immigrant community.

Appleton, WI – On Friday, January 9, over 300 people flooded the streets of downtown Appleton for a vigil and rally to demand justice for Renee Good and an end to ICE raids across the country. This somber event came in response to the murder of Renee Nicole Good at the hands of ICE agent Jonathon Ross, just two days ago.

The event was co-sponsored by Hate Free Outagamie, NE Wisconsin Democratic Socialists of America, Indivisible, ESTHER (Empowerment Solidarity Truth Hope Equity Reform) and more.

ESTHER Fox Valley’s Immigration Task Force spoke about the importance of meeting the moment to protect our communities. In her speech remembering Renee Good, one member addressed the crowd, “May you be the force keeping forward in the quest for justice, safety, and no community violence. May you be the inspiration for all of us to stay strong and not give up. May we continue the fight.”

As a rally ensued, chants from the crowd included “ICE has got to go!” and “No justice! No peace! No ICE in our streets!”

When asked about the motivation for this action, Hate Free Outagamie member Tanner Ziebel stated, “We're not going to sit back and watch as our family members, our friends, our neighbors are being snatched by masked agents.” Ziebell continued, pointing out the coalition of organizations present “for all these folks to come out to coexist, mourn and show solidarity with those all across the country, we are building something powerful here, something able to resist whatever may come to the valley.”

In her closing call to action Hate Free Outagamie member, Rev. Hannah Roberts Villnave spoke of this attack as one of many committed by the ruling class, “We are here tonight to remember not only Renee Nicole Brown, shot in cold blood in the face by a gun of the American government, but for everyone who has paid the price for American greed and white supremacy.”

The large and rapid response to this event was inspiring for many in attendance and the revolutionary fervor could be felt.

Additional actions have been held each night in the region, and another anti-ICE protest will take place in Appleton this Sunday, January 11. We look forward to following the developments of the anti-Trump movement in the Fox Valley in the coming months.

Summary:

Hari Budha Magar, a double above-knee amputee, made history by successfully climbing Mount Vinson, the highest peak in Antarctica (4,892 meters), on January 6, 2026. With this achievement, he completed the Seven Summits challenge, becoming the first double above-knee amputee to climb the highest peaks on all seven continents.

Magar battled extreme conditions including -25°C temperatures, strong winds, and steep icy slopes using prosthetic legs. He aims to inspire people with disabilities by proving that "nothing is impossible." His journey also raises awareness about disability and encourages others to pursue their dreams regardless of challenges.

Before Mount Vinson, Magar had already summited Mont Blanc (Europe), Kilimanjaro (Africa), Mount Everest (Asia), Denali (North America), Aconcagua (South America), and Carstensz Pyramid (Oceania). He is the first person without legs to summit Denali and Carstensz Pyramid as well.

Born in Nepal and serving in the British Army's Royal Gurkha Rifles, Magar lost his legs in an explosion in Afghanistan in 2010. Overcoming physical and mental trauma, he found new purpose through adventure sports, becoming Nepal’s first athlete with disability to ski and later a mountain instructor.

Magar emphasizes inner strength over physical ability and hopes his achievements will change perceptions towards people with disabilities worldwide. He was awarded the MBE in the UK for his efforts.
