A Tactic from the Twin Cities to Fight ICE and Defend Your Neighborhood
https://crimethinc.com/filterblockades
Filter blockades are a simple and effective way to resist the occupation of our communities. All you need is a few determined friends or neighbors and some widely available materials. The goal is to slow traffic, without fully blocking it, in order to identify potential ICE vehicles. The more filter blockades, the more effective the strategy becomes.
Here, we present a guide to maintaining filter blockades, share accounts from filter blockades in the Twin Cities this past week, and conclude with a broader look at the history and potential of the model.

Since, I've been thinking about it again, how is the Skyrim Civil War broadly seen in leftist spaces? Something I've wondered about for a while
Which side you on?

For those of you who DON'T know, the Empire is crumbling at the hands of their nearest rival, the Aldmeri Dominion. After a war, they make a peace treaty with the Empire banning the worship of a beloved God, and specifically the God of humans (most of the remaining Empire is human).
The Empire goes along, and a guy by the name of Ullfric starts a rebellion called the Stormcloaks (represented by option 1). It's a nationalist uprising against the Empire, with the Nords (the traditional inhabitants of Skyrim) at the forefront, something which leads to the persecution of the various minority groups.
Complicating this, it's also revealed that Ullfric has been kept alive this long by the Aldmeri Dominion's equivalent of the CIA with the sole intent of possibly provoking (the now ongoing) civil war.

Oh, before someone points it out, yes. Ullfric Stormcloak does have strong parallels to Osama Bin Laden lol, it's weird how that wasn't brought up more

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses
"The legislature did not include a grace period."
As much as I love encouraging people to engage with media that challenges them, there's much more serious things to worry about rn, even in that general field of discourse
Like, sure, rereading the same cozy novel over and over but by different authors probably isn't *great*, but nearly half of Americans have read 1 or fewer books this year, talk to them first lol
