ICE detainee found lynched with hands and feet bound.

Man detained by ICE found dead, hanging with hands and feet tied—attorney

The Chinese national died in Pennsylvania in August, but his family's requests for answers from DHS have gone unmet.

Tr*mp's Gestapo is now flat-out murdering people.

We are now nearing the unmarked mass graves stage of genocide in America.

This is not something that might happen in the future. It is happening, now.

And everyone who chose not to vote for Harris, whether they voted Republican or third party or sat at home, has the blood on their hands. As does every person not acting to end it now.

I love it when characters are skilled in noncompliance. There's not nearly enough characters who are fucking masters of noncompliance.

Everything You Need to Build May Day Strong

FIVE DAYS UNTIL WE SHUT IT DOWN

"We’re trying to build off the work of No Kings and the successful Day of Truth and Freedom shutdown in Minnesota, moving from mass street protest to mass non-compliance. It’s a major step up in commitment, a foundation and capacity test for larger strikes in the future, and a reminder to the powers that be that we have power, too. This could be the beginning of something big."

There is a way.

Research suggests non-cooperation and not obeying in advance have been key for slowing down autocratic takeovers.

Dozens of countries have successfully resisted democratic backsliding into authoritarianism. We compile some key patterns on non-cooperation.

This is also why I say that a lot of these people coming at anarchists saying, “why don’t you fight the government then, why don’t you do something?”, they don’t really mean it, they just want to see you die and then rhetorically justify it for head pats.

If they don’t like you, hell if they can make up a reason in their imagination not to like you (this is already being done online in regards to Renee Good, literal fanfic shit), they will use the smallest teeniest crumb of an excuse to justify some pig shooting you in the head.

So this is a perfect example of what I mean when I respond to this saying “because you’ll throw anybody who does under the bus, immediately”.

They will always do this, because it would make them look bad if that person didn’t immediately get murdered. It makes them feel better for materially resisting nothing.

any tips on doctors who just try to push physical therapy on you?

i have chronic muscle pain (hips + knees) and have already done 4 months of pt for supposed pfps (turns out i don’t have it) and it did absolutely nothing to help with any of my pain (i did a lot of stuff for strengthening muscles around my hips). i told the doctor that exercise doesn’t help and that i’m in pain the whole time and they didn’t care

god i’m so sorry you’re dealing with that, myself & tons of others have been through this experience & i so wish i had better answers for you. unfortunately as far as i can tell you’re at a juncture where your decision is basically whether to become a “noncompliant patient” or not –

you can try doing what the doctor suggests & continue putting yourself in pain through physical therapy with the hope that eventually the doctor or physical therapist will be like okay this is doing fuck all let’s try something else

if you’re in a position where this is an option, you can go to a different doctor, but they might just do the same thing

you can keep going to this doctor without continuing pt, with the knowledge that they’ll probably label you noncompliant & will likely treat you more like shit

i wish so badly that there was a certain response that would make them respect you, it’s a shitshow & a crapshoot & you don’t deserve this. you shouldn’t have to put yourself in more pain to receive healthcare & i’m so sorry the system is so fucked. it is always okay to stop going to physical therapy if that’s the decision you want to make, i wish it didn’t carry so many potential punitive consequences from physicians who think their word is god.

the best resources i can suggest are around resisting medical gaslighting; community support + experiences + theory around both noncompliance & exercise intolerance have been very affirming for me wrt like, i’m not making this up. it can also be helpful to journal or whatever to document how you remember your symptoms being worse after exercise, pt, etc so that if later you’re doubting you were “actually” in worse pain you can read back over your experiences.

the mindset that’s also been helpful for me is that even if pt would help, it’s okay not to do it. i don’t owe anyone an able (or less disabled) body, & not exercising doesn’t mean i deserve medical neglect; no one deserves to be in pain even if they’ve “brought it on themselves.”

again i am so fucking sorry. your pain is real, in the vast majority of cases if pt was gonna help there would’ve at least been some sort of improvement in 4 months, & so much current medical science including around physical therapy is rooted in ableist misconceptions. you deserve further testing & pain relief no matter the cause of your pain (or whether that can even be determined). my heart goes out to you & i can’t always respond quickly but feel free to talk about this more if you need to 💖💖
