May 13, 2021 - Immigration cops tried to arrest two men in Glasgow, Scotland, on the day of Eid. A huge crowd of locals in the area of Pollokshields, chanting “these are our neighbours, let them go!”, turned up and boxed the police van in for seven hours, withstanding attempts by police to break through the crowd, until the cops were forced to let the two men go.

WHAT A FUCKING RESULT!!!

[coffeeandufos]

This isn’t even the whole story - it gets so much better.

This was not a pre-planned event. The home office just showed up in the morning to take them. A neighbour tweeted asking for help and people mobilised and united entirely on their own. None of these people woke up today knowing this is what they were going to do.

That man who was under the van? He layed there for EIGHT HOURS so it couldn’t move.

The local mosque opened up and started handing out refreshments to the people protesting:

And when the men were finally released (after 9 hours of being the the back of the van) the whole crowd walked them to the mosque so they would be safe:

This was the ultimate “fuck you” to the British government. It was an absolutely incredible show of solidarity and what happens when people mobilise.

The power of the people is stronger than the people in power.

Wow wtf HIV/AIDS was discovered by Flossie Wong-Staal, an Chinese-American woman, and she’s the reason the HIV test even exists. AND THEN she invented the molecular knife that lead to treatments for HIV/AIDS. And she’s STILL ALIVE. We don’t hear about the contributions of Women of Color enough, my word. Madness.

I was gonna put this in the tags but there was too much: A lot of the symptoms mentioned can be explained by lack of oxygen delivery to the bloodstream. It's called hypoxia, it can cause tremors, delerium/hallucination, even severe nightmares/night terrors. Also brain fog, (something I commonly experience at work after using my n95 for too long), & short term memory loss. Also, being hypoxic for too long basically signals to your brain to increase your heart rate because it allows faster delivery of whatever inadequate amounts of oxygen is already in your blood. Being tachycardic for too long causes extreme body fatigue because your body thinks youre trying to run a marathon or some shit.

Also covid causes such an intense inflammatory response that it results in hypercoagulation of the blood, which can lead to circulatory issues and blood clotting.

ALSO, the reason why people seem to get better and then worse is, from what we've seen, whatever damage is done to the lung tissue seems to be permanent. So I have a patient who's been in the hospital since April, hes currently testing negative for COVID, his viral load is not high enough to be detected anymore, but hes still requires absurd amounts of oxygen and it's taking him months to wean down. Not to mention he needed to be intubated twice and now has a tracheostomy. He is 39 years old with no comorbidities.

But yeah, it's fine if we send the children back to school.

The judge that signed that warrant was complicit or maybe a warrant was never issued.... either way the indictment of Breonna Taylor’s murderers would expose the deep-seeded structural Racism in Louisville’s system.

Many more people than those cops need to go down for Breonna Taylor’s murder.

“Hey everybody! Here we are in the southern Appalachian mountains. We have a pristine Montane stream ecosystem, as you can see all around us here. I thought I’d make an educational video this morning. It involves this practice right here [gestures to rock pile]. As our national parks and national forests fall victim to human pressure, more than ever, this is something we’re seeing more and more of. Hopefully we can make this video go viral. This stream, as you can see around us right here, is a breeding ground for North America’s largest salamander, the Eastern hellbender. They can get up to 2.5-3 feet long. It’s part of our natural heritage in the eastern United States. When people do this right here - what they consider to be art - they’re actually destroying the breeding ground for the Eastern hellbender salamander. The Eastern hellbender will use flat rocks such as these to make nesting sites in these streams. So here’s what I would like everybody to do. If you care about our Montane stream freshwater ecosystems like this one around us here, when you see something like this, this is what I recommend doing: [kicks down rock pile]. Take the rocks, throw them back into the stream. The Eastern hellbender utilizes rocks like this. It actually feels pretty good to do this! [walks to other pile] This is not actually art, okay? This is destruction of our freshwater ecosystems. So I would like to encourage everyone: when you see this [gestures to second rock pile], do this! [kicks pile] I’d like to return our streams to their natural state for the organisms that live here. Thanks, and have a good day.”

PSA from a forest ranger who is instructed to knock these down:

Not only are they harmful for river/stream habits, they can cause hikers to get lost! Cairns are meant to represent the correct path for a trail. We’ve had hikers get lost by following incorrect paths marked by cairns people set up “for fun/art.” Not only do we want hikers to get lost, we want them to stay on the correct path for erosion control and ecosystem protection. Cairn-building “for fun/art” has gained a lot of popularity in recent years, so we keep finding more and more to knock over.

If you want to set up a cairn “for fun/art,” do it in a dry, very rocky area. Don’t take rocks from rivers or streams! But when it’s a bedrock site and there’s lots of rocks sitting around? Sure, fine, whatever. But please please PLEASE knock them down after! Don’t be the reason we have to deploy Search & Rescue for a lost hiker!
