unlimited oil price shocks on the western world, you will live in a 15 minute walkable city, you will eat the local produce, you will cease single use plastics

the DSA was hosting it and the turnout was MASSIVE. Hundreds of people from all around the city. they filled up a large union hall and had people against the walls and spilling into hallways. The people are scared and pissed. democratic party didn't even come up in discussion and got booed hard in a speech. People weren't overly ambitious about the general strike, I don't think anyone thought it would end things overnight, but people want to step up to defend their communities themselves however they can, I will dare to say that it all felt very conscious.

DSA had maps of the city set up and shit, marking our positions, and people were forming neighborhood squads and signal chats for anti-ICE patrols and logistics. There were so many volunteers we had to sub-divide the neighborhoods so the teams didn't get too big. ICE hasn't even officially shown up in our city yet but people want to throw hands lol. teachers and unionists were schooling everyone on light theory, keeping order even with huge numbers. Veteran agitators from Minneapolis were sharing their lessons. This shit is happening right now comrades, and if it's happening everywhere else in this country than the regime really stirred up the hornets' nest this time.

If you're a communist it's your duty to be among the people and leading them in this. Many aren't confident, and are looking for guidance on what to do. This feels like a revolutionary moment, not THE revolutionary moment, but one that can build a greater nucleus for the next stage in the class war. Get on the grind and make your neighborhood look like if ICE rolls through anytime soon.

This is my favorite part:

On Sept. 11, a customs and border protection supervisor working with the FBI Milwaukee identified himself as Joe and said he wanted to speak to Stanton about the posts he had been making, the complaint states.

Stanton responded, "Go (expletive) yourself," the complaint states.

Later, federal prosecutors said he texted the agent several times with comments such as:

Stanton also posted what appear to be screenshots of the text thread between him and the federal agent in other TikTok videos 12 News Investigates has seen online.

Stanton also sent a meme comprised of an animated representation of Charlie Kirk with a bleeding neck wound. A caption accompanied the image which stated, "This should be a lesson on how To [sic] deal with fascists. You don’t Debate [sic] them, you delete them."

China has demolished 300 dams and shut down most of the small hydropower stations on a major tributary of the upper Yangtze River to safeguard fish populations as part of an effort to restore the ecology of Asia’s longest waterway.

According to a report by the state news agency Xinhua on Monday, 300 of the 357 dams on Chishui He – also known as the Red River – had been dismantled by the end of December 2024. In addition, 342 out of 373 small hydropower stations have been decommissioned, enabling many rare fish species to resume their natural reproductive cycles, the Xinhua report said.

The Red River flows for more than 400km (249 miles) through the southwestern provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. It is regarded by ecologists as the last refuge for rare and endemic fish species in the Yangtze’s upper reaches.

Over the decades, water flows have been increasingly blocked by the dense network of hydropower stations and dams, restricting water volumes downstream and occasionally even causing some sections to dry up entirely.

This has drastically reduced the amount of suitable habitat and spawning grounds. The stations also blocked the routes of migratory fish species between breeding grounds and non-breeding areas.

no I don't have a link, its probably not worth reading beyond the funny title anyway

WASHINGTON—Promising a glorious future marked by limitless prosperity for the East Asian nation, President Donald Trump outlined a bold vision Tuesday night for a golden age of China. “Under my leadership, a prosperous new era of Chinese dominance will begin, the likes of which have never been seen before,” Trump said in an address to a joint session of Congress, insisting that China, finally unbridled from the foreign policy of former President Joe Biden, would reach its full potential and claim its rightful place as an unmatched global powerhouse. “Mark my words, the People’s Republic will be the envy of the world. That I can assure you. As long as I’m in charge, nothing will stand in China’s way. My newly implemented tariffs will spur China to be more self-sufficient, stable, and affluent going forward. Believe me when I say we’re going to make China a lot of money.” Trump went on to state that people he had talked to were already calling it the second Ming dynasty.

Unlimited CEO assassinations on the first world. You have done a public service you goddamn legend. Unironically braver than the moron troops, though I pray for the day air support can be finally called in to eliminate these social parasites.
