SEATTLE โ€” Police are investigating after multiple gunshots were fired into a home in Ballard early Sunday morning. The Seattle Police Department said the house was โ€œpotentially targeted due to political and ideological signs in the window of the residence.โ€

According to the SPD, officers responded to reports of shots fired at a home around 3 a.m. Sunday. Responding officers found several bullet holes in the window of the home where the signs were hung.

Seattle also has the highest amount of Syphillis cases in the country, and the virus is mutating. I don't know if anyone has seen the videos on YouTube of what damage Syphillis caused back in the King Henry the Eighth lifetime, but it was horrific. If this is mutating, I would hate to see what people with the life of homeless people or mentally ill out on the street are going to develop from this, and wonder if it has spread to Oregon and California. The West Coast is doomed!

one of the subtler benefits Iโ€™ve noticed in reclaiming my own music library is I can put on a new album and there can be a vibe change part way through without leaving me wondering whether itโ€™s still the album or if itโ€™s finished and switched over to algorithmic feed.

turns out constant vigilance for the algorithm is really shit for the enjoyment of art!

love to see a Canadian mining company CEOs crying about their gold getting appropriated

Mark Bristow, Barrickโ€™s CEO, told Reuters the company had received only informal information about the restart and gold shipment. โ€œIf it is true, any plans by the administrator to restart operations and sell gold on the site in our view would be illegitimate,โ€ Mr. Bristow said.

true. And if he read the constitution and understood how the rules are shaped by it, he wouldnt have went to jail. Peaceful isnt in the constitution. Grammar matters. Protest are nothing but traps and a waste of time. If you want change you actually have to get your hands dirty and if busted go to jail for a real reason, not for showing off for social media.

Coming soon from subMedia in collaboration with Peter Gelderloos, the third and final installment of Itโ€™s Revolution or Death Part 3: Reclaiming the World, Wherever We Stand.

Parts 1 and 2 examined the failures of state and capitalist solutions to the climate crisis as well as revolutionary movements of people defending the planet. Part 3 seeks to provide helpful insights and experience for newer anarchists who are just getting started organizing around the climate crisis and building methods of transformative survival.

If you havenโ€™t already check out parts 1 and 2 at sub.media/its-revolution-or-deโ€ฆ and sub.media/its-revolution-or-deโ€ฆ

Or, better yet, get ready to find a place and screen all three parts together with your friends and comrades!

As Trump defunds Planned Parenthood, it's a good time to look at histories of abortion struggles that reject the government and major institutions and instead build feminist popular power from below, including the ability to conduct abortions and other reproductive care.

In my 2024 article โ€œ'To Repulse the State from Our Uteri': Anarcha-feminism, Reproductive Freedom, and Dual Powerโ€ I analyze how anarcha-feminists critiqued the state and attempted to build feminist dual power in response to the New Rightโ€™s attacks on reproductive freedom.

From the 1970s to today, anarcha-feminists have sought to build grassroots infrastructure, knowledge, and organizations like self-help groups in which they learn how to conduct abortions and other reproductive care, thus taking back power from the state and medical industry.

Womenโ€™s capacity to care for their own bodies and reproduction materially lessens state power. Establishing grassroots reproductive health care infrastructure is a key component of building autonomy and feminist dual power that challenges the rule of the state and capitalism.

Read more on anarcha-feminist abortion struggles in my article in Radical History Review โ€œ'To Repulse the State from Our Uteri': Anarcha-feminism, Reproductive Freedom, and Dual Power,โ€ which you can find at the @library theanarchistlibrary.org/librarโ€ฆ

Tampa banner drop tells Turning Point USA (TPUSA) to GTFO

On the 7th of July, a banner drop in Tampa, FL warned TPUSA to get the fuck out of Tampa, which would require them to cancel their upcoming convention

On the 12th of July, Turning Point USA will be meeting in Tampa FL for a series of "Summits." This is Charlie Kirk's dangerous group of Fascists. When they were at the Tampa Convention Center in 2022, they even drew people in Nazi uniform with swastika flags. This was just weeks after Dobbs, and told me we were in for a very rough ride.

how do you reduce the risk of a lithium ion battery fire?
* never tinker with a battery;
* only use certified, manufacturer-approved batteries and chargers;
* keep it in sight while it charges;
* if you notice anything out of the ordinary โ€” strange odours, discolouration, excessive heat, change in shape, leaking or odd noises โ€” stop using it and contact the manufacturer.

I tested out the GrapheneOS Browser and Brave to see if it is an APP or OS issue causing the battery drain

GrapheneOS only seems to have a battery drain with brave browser. The GrapheneOS browser will honor the RESTRICTED battery mode setting. Brave will continue to run in the background in RESTRICTED mode and reduce your battery life

Look, if we intend to make it through all the chaos that is coming, a lot of us need to start thinking in terms of liberation in a big way. We need transformative justice not imprisonment & slavery.

We can't be squeamish now. We can't clutch our pearls over "criminality" as defined by a State that exerts violent control over us all.

As far as I'm concerned, as long as our prisons are still standing, we haven't yet done enough to vanquish fascism. You have to burn the roots.

Dear liberals (if any of you are reading), please for the sake of us all, we need you to get over your fear of "criminals" as a class of person.

We need you to trust that we can build a better society that deals with violence, when it occurs, differently. For that matter, we already know that "crime" decreases when poverty decreases, so our "crime" problem is primarily a poverty problem!

J. R. DePriest :EA DATA. SF:

Instead of thinking of them as "criminals" think of them as "desperate people pushed to the brink by an uncaring system" and that should motivate you the right way.
Yes, there are actual people out there who want to hurt you. Most of them are already in positions of power or are seeking them out but you probably weren't thinking about that kind of crime even though you are far more likely to be a victim of it. You are probably already a victim of multiple crimes of that type. Go after them. They are the criminals stalking you and targeting you.
Not a guy living in his car or the person begging for food. That could be you. That could be you.

Yep. The segments of society who feel the most excluded, will inevitably feel less bound by the "social contract" (because it was already torn up for them!) and the laws of society. That should be obvious, but the NIMBYs' first instinct is always harsher policing and increased gentrification to shield them from the hordes at the gates.

Preventing such stratification is one important reason there are no private schools in Finland.
