"Leg and Arm," the Samuel Enderby chapter of Moby Dick, is really funny. Captain Ahab meets another guy who has lost a limb to the White Whale except he's totally normal about it. Ahab gets so mad. Great bit
Seeing I Love Boosters w/ Food Not Bombs buds last night was such a fun, uplifting time; 100% recommending all the other comrades see it in theater!
💗😭💗
Our new crazy dream is to have @BootsRiley do one of his screening/talks at our fledgling leftist community center in WV

Service members: If you agree Trump’s war on Iran is wrong, you don’t have to participate. We can help you explore your options. Call 1-800-379-2679
My friend organized a David Graeber reading group, which was great. When that wrapped, I rallied some folks for a Moby Dick reading group. People do the reading, do extra reading, make song recommendations, have really smart questions and notes. It is SO MUCH FUN!

Kind of hilarious that the israelis spent 20 months screaming at protesters "why don't you go to Gaza and see what Palestinians are really like?" only for them to intercept a ship of people doing just that and forcing them to watch October 7th footage.

Both the Los Angeles Times and the Associated Press reported that ICE agents started the violence in LA over the weekend.

🔥 “You’re on the wrong side of history. You should be standing here with us… you took an oath to the constitution, not the fascists in the White House— he’s laughing at you… You’re tough behind your masks & fatigues, but how do you feel on the inside?” 🇺🇸

Farm workers aren’t a threat. Garment workers, day laborers and labor leaders like David Huerta aren’t either.
The threat to our safety is the militarized violence being used against us. We ARE this country. We need to protect each other.

David Huerta, the local president of SEIU United Service Workers West, was injured and arrested by federal agents in the midst of a fascist and chaotic immigration “enforcement” event on Friday in Los Angeles. Since then, the current admin is “deploying” to provoke unrest in CA.

something like 90% of inmates in orleans parish prison are pre-trial. the majority have been sitting in there for several years awaiting a trial. a failure of justice on multiple levels.

In my research I have discovered that a shocking number of whale ship disasters can be traced back to communication issues between captain and first mate.
