#NoKings #LA #PussyRiot

"Pussy Riot showed solidarity on No Kings' Day, participating in the march in Los Angeles on Saturday. They joined the demonstration while displaying a red banner that read, 'It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Russia.'

The march in downtown Los Angeles drew about 20,000 people, and was one of 2,000 locations that held 'No Kings' Day protests against the president, who has deployed the National Guard and the Marines to L.A. over protests opposing his administration’s aggressive raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The protests were held on the same day Trump threw an expensive military parade on his 79th birthday in Washington, D.C.

Pussy Riot co-founder Nadya Tolokonnikova’s 'Police State' installation at the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA was postponed Sunday, when the National Guard was deployed. 'Due to evolving conditions in downtown Los Angeles and the proximity of The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA to ongoing demonstrations and military activity near the Los Angeles Federal Detention Facility, the museum has made the decision to adjust its operating hours and event schedule out of concern for the safety of staff and visitors,' MOCA said on its website. The 10-day exhibit was originally set to conclude tomorrow, with a panel and performance of Siberia. The rescheduled dates have not yet been released.

In a statement regarding Pussy Riot’s participation in the 'No Kings' march, Tolokonnikova reflected on Russia and the current state of the world in relation to her exhibit. 'It’s not quite a penal colony here, but a halfway house,' she said. 'Once again, when I write a statement or a song, a demon on my left shoulder is whispering: ‘How much is too much? Will this get you jailed or not quite yet??’ The answer is – idfk. When the law is being used not to protect freedoms, put to punish – selectively and voluntarily – those who speak out, no lawyer can tell you what’s safe, and what’s not. As my Russian lawyer used to say, 'Nadya, stop asking me what’s safe – if you want to be safe, leave Russia.'

Tolokonnikova said that she refused to leave her home country, until she realized 'If I stayed, I’d spend the rest of my life behind bars.' She added that Russian President Vladimir Putin promised 'safety and stability' and instead is 'waging the bloodiest war in modern Europe.'

'It’s beginning to feel a lot like Russia…. Everywhere you go,' she continued.

My job as an artist is to interpret those feelings. I felt that tingle for a bit now, that is why I did the POLICE STATE exhibit,' she said. 'The walls are closing, the camera systems are getting AI upgrades, you have to censor what you say or unidentified masked men will show up at your home, at your work, at your church. One day, leaving the museum, I stepped into an actual police state – rows of police assaulting peaceful protesters.'

'I guess you could say it’s my first artistic collaboration with the United States Military,' she concluded. 'Now we are on the street protesting alongside people who believe immigrants make America great.'"

one thought I had regarding all the work I’ve done under the @surfhosting masthead testing GL.iNet devices for mobile wifi leeching:

it might be fun to use such a device to offer a secure wifi conduit at protests, for people in the crowd who are trying to post live updates etc, but don’t want their cell data turned on, and don’t want to use e.g. xfinitywifi (which can get served with subpoenae) … 🤔

Happy (?) Father's Day! The voice of G*d in Seder-Masochism is that of my very own father, interviewed in hospital in 2011 (he died 2 months later). We didn't get along well, but were bonded by something primal and incomprehensible, as you may hear. I don't get along well with the G*d of the Torah, either; ironically, neither did my Dad.

Australian man interrogated at LA airport and deported back to Melbourne for his writings about pro-Palestine protests. His social media posts, too, which he said he deleted before flying, were used as material.

"Clearly, they had technology in their system which linked those posts to my Esta … a long time before I took them down,” he said. “Because they knew all about the posts, and then interrogated me about the posts once I was there.”

Veterans? Are they owed pay? Send in the tanks...


Trump’s Army parade cost $45M—people are clutching pearls over that. Meanwhile, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan cost $2.8 billion per day. That means you could run 62 Trump parades for the price of one day of foreign war. Maybe calm down. Honoring the Army stateside for once isn’t the fiscal apocalypse.

As Women That We Are, Indigenous Zapatista Women


To the indigenous teachers of the CNTE.

In the audio of this video, you can hear a poem that, in a native language of Mayan roots, was presented at the arts encounter “RebelArte y RevelArte,” in April 2025. The poem presented by the 3 young Zapatista women from Caracol Jacinto Canek is called “Soy Mujer” or “I am a Woman” or “I am an Indigenous Woman,”, and was made with a previous work of investigation of what is talked about in the groups as women that we are in that zone. The poem is from the education promoters of that area who, in common, came up with the idea. They talked, but above all they listened to women who were already of age (of judgment, as we say here), their grandmothers and great-grandmothers; they talked to their mothers and older sisters; and they looked at themselves in the mirror of their being young Zapatista women today. Then they looked for who might present it and these young women joined in. The video shows images of the courses in Herbalism, Midwifery, Bonesetters and General Health, as well as the advances in the construction of the Quirófano and bicycle workshop, with the participation of Zapatista women compañeras.

-*-

In the translation of the compas of that puy it would be, more or less, like this:

“I am an indigenous woman / running into problems / in my gaze you see the gleam of sadness / in every step I take there is a trace, a mark / of the wounds that have made me, that have hurt me / men and capitalism. It’s not like being a rich woman / but it’s different / the rich also look down on me / just like men. I dressed as they wanted / to forget that I am woman that I am / the eye of man / turned me into a thing / that I am not worthy / that I am less / that I am weak, without strength / so that I am very unhappy / so I learned that life is shit / suffering led me to hate my body / to hate what I am / to forget that I am beautiful, beautiful / that entered my head. The word Zapatista became / like my best friend / or my salvation / today is my beginning / because I learned / to love myself as I am / and to love my being a woman / I learned that I was not born / to serve or to please men / or to obey someone / but I was born to love myself and to love myself / as the woman that I am / and I will not be happy until they stop exploiting me. Today I celebrate for being the woman that I am / for my courage / for my strength / because I have understood that I am a woman. From now on I will be a woman / with a firm step / determined to fight for life. My brave heart / beats with strength to be free / my heart, courage and strength / will help me to be free / with the butterfly / I will go forward / with my fighting spirit.”

But every female ear, another poetry.

Other Tzeltal-speaking compañeras, but from other areas (Tzeltal varies from one area to another) explain: “what the poem says is that she was sad, that she does not get through the day, that the rich despise her for being a woman and also the rich women treat her like she is a thing, not a person. In other words, being a rich woman is not the same as being a poor woman. And being a woman from the city is not the same as being an indigenous woman. The same goes for the men in her town, which is what we call machista.

Then, as pure sadness, she learned to hate herself, that’s how she got in her head, she hates her own body and she even forgot that she is beautiful. And then came the struggle and there she learned that there is nothing left but to fight and now she is learning other things and jobs. And her heart is happy that she is worth it, and that she is beautiful and that she has strength and courage, and that is why she has value as a woman. I believe that this poem was written by a compañera. A Zapatista, that is.

Maybe it is less seen, but when they end their participation with “Long live the women!,” they also shout, we shout, “Long live the Palestinian women!”.

For now that is all our word and our images as the women that we are.

Something that came to mind from @pluralistic 's post that featured a band in Atlanta drowning out some wingnuts formerly known as proud boys with "Bella Ciao".

We don't have artists that have the balls to write and perform protest songs today, do we?

We don't have a Woodie Guthrie, Arlo Guthrie, Joe Hill, Bob Dylan or Billie Holiday.

After what happened to the Dixie Chicks, artists are too afraid of losing 100 followers on Instagram to speak up.

Or am I wrong? I hope I am.

Americans don't see Supreme Court as politically neutral, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds


Americans are divided on major issues that the U.S. Supreme Court is due to rule on in the coming weeks, but most agree on one thing - neither Republicans nor Democrats see the nation's top judicial body as politically neutral, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.

Just 20% of respondents to the poll agreed that the Supreme Court is politically neutral while 58% disagreed and the rest either said they did not know or did not respond. Among people who described themselves as Democrats, only 10% agreed it was politically neutral and 74% disagreed, while among Republicans 29% agreed and 54% disagreed.

"Israel broke the fragile truce, murdering civilians with increased frequency. The Israeli army shot at close range over a dozen marked medical rescuers and a UN worker, then buried their bodies along with the ambulances. It bombed the last standing school buildings and hospitals. It has starved thousands of Palestinian children, maintaining an almost complete blockade of international humanitarian aid for twelve weeks.

It took the levelling of over 70 per cent of Gaza for Germany’s leader to make such a groundbreaking declaration as “what’s happening in Gaza can no longer be justified by the fight against terrorism.” Merz added that he had “stopped understanding what Israel is trying to achieve,” though Netanyahu and his people openly state that the goal of the ongoing “military operation” is the annexation of the Gaza Strip.

The German government even considered such “radical” steps as stopping weapons shipments to Israel – as reported by Israeli public television Kan 11, Tel Aviv undertook intensive diplomatic efforts against such ideas. With positive results – Johann Wadephul, head of Germany’s Foreign Ministry, has already assured that deliveries are not under threat."

Wir waren heute in einem Naturschutzgebiet unterwegs auf einem schmalen, dicht bewachsenen Trampelpfad, an dem kaum zwei Menschen aneinander vorbei gehen hätten können, als wir von fünf Männern auf Motocrossmaschinen überholt wurden.

Es kommt selten vor, dass ich jemandem spontan Böses wünsche, aber mein erster Gedanke war, bitte sterbt einfach bei eurem "Sport". Ich konnte den Gedanken nur schwer abschütteln, ich will so nicht sein, aber so waren meine Gefühle.

Männlichkeit ist das Problem, für das wir am dringendsten eine Lösung brauchen, wenn der Planet nicht völlig niederbrennen soll.

Massive demonstration for Gaza and against genocide today in Brussels.

75.000 participants according to the police, and 110.000 according to organisers.

Inspired by the Dutch sister demo, “Draw a Red Line for Gaza” was the largest demonstration in Belgium for years.

As someone now living in Europe, I find the US protests mild and small. When Europeans protest, they protest. I mean, my native Greece saw a massive protest in Feb, well over a million went out, in a country of ~9 million. This is how you do it:

Hace un rato he conocido a un trío de jóvenes punkis de #Granada con un grupo que se llama Sobako. Les he preguntado si los podía encontrar por algún lado y me dicho que Instagram 🙁 Como justo se estaban subiendo al bus sólo me ha salido decirles "Me cago en la puta, lo menos punk del mundo. Otro día que nos crucemos os pregunto" cuando quería decirles que se metieran en Mastodon.
