I love the spirit of that new Bruce Springsteen song, “Streets of Minneapolis,” but let’s be honest: it sucks.
A noble failure. Big heart, bad song.

The state locked up Maricela Rueda for protesting the brutality of immigrant detention, and now her family is left carrying the weight: caring for her daughter, managing the house, and dealing with the financial fallout. The money goes directly to her daughter’s care and urgent household needs.

Dear internet,
The #taco is one of the greatest foods ever created. Delicious, fearless, and absolutely does not give a fuck. I used to take first dates out for tacos because if you can’t eat a taco in front of me, you’re a coward.
So let’s stop insulting tacos by using them as shorthand for Trump backing down.
From now on, let’s call him #TOFU: Trump Often Fucks Up. (ok ok chill vegans!!)
Not as catchy, maybe, but way more appropriate.
And for the record, in this case I’m glad he’s a coward. We need him to back out of this disastrous war for the sake of everyone who’ll suffer from it.

For the last 5 years I’ve been hooked on NTS out of the UK.
It’s structured like an actual radio station: one-hour to two-hour DJ slots, people going deep on every genre imaginable. And I mean every genre. If it exists, some freak genius has probably done a show on it.
I’ve discovered so much incredible music through NTS and I can’t recommend it enough.
What I love most is that it’s humans making the playlist.
Maybe this makes me sound like a total boomer, but I don’t give a shit. In an era where algorithms keep trying to feed us the same flattened-out sludge, there’s something genuinely exciting about hearing music selected by actual people with taste, curiosity, and a point of view.
A friend told me she’s been finding music by following DJs who mix live on YouTube, or by listening to recordings of their live sets, as a way of making sure there’s still a human hand in the process. And honestly, I love that. It’s not just a workaround, it’s a reminder that DJing is an art form.
There are some incredible selectors out there putting their skills online and reaching huge audiences.
Anyway, here’s what I’m listening to right now:

@nprofile…ghcv Yeah I hear you - I'm reaching out to peeps in Israel to see what they report, because it all seems to be propaganda these days. My homie in Haifa showed me some clips he shot with this phone of missiles and interceptors flying overhead, but we have no real way of knowing what the real damage on the ground is, if any. It does seem that the quick regime change scenario that Trump envisioned is not happening, and that the US got suckered into the conflict by Israel and now we're stuck with this mess, cause Trump is to much of an egomaniac to back down and accept he fucked up.

@nprofile…ghcv Yikes! I myself have no way to corroborate every news source, but a lot of the analysis around the underestimation of Iran's capabilities by the US (this has happened more than a few times in history) is spot on IMO. I'm no fan of the Islamists who run Iran, really fuck those men, and I don't see them as heroes in any regard, but it's refreshing to have other perspectives. Do you have any trusted sources you can recommend for following this story?

Despite my general dislike for the way Chris Hedges carries himself — the whole arrogant, paternalistic vibe has always rubbed me the wrong way — I gotta admit the guy can still deliver some solid analysis and historical context.
This interview he did with Alistair Crooke about the situation in #Iran was actually really informative and worth watching if you're trying to understand what's going on beyond the usual media bullshit.
Because let's be real: the mainstream media is doing its usual thing — framing everything like the U.S. and Israel are somehow “winning.” Which is a pretty grotesque way to describe a situation where people are dying and the region is sliding deeper into catastrophe. Nobody’s winning here.
Crooke also gets into the real impact of Iran’s counterattacks and the broader regional dynamics — stuff you’re definitely not hearing much about in corporate media coverage.
Anyway, sharing it here.
Also curious: where are people getting their information about Iran right now? What analysts, journalists, or sources are you following that actually provide useful context?
Drop them in the comments. Always looking for good people to follow.

How does The New York Times get credit for a story that was already reported — in detail — by Roger Sollenberger at least a week earlier?
https://substack.com/home/post/p-188426985
Independent reporters grind to break stories first, often without the institutional backing or reach of major outlets. Then the big names publish later, amplify it, and somehow become the “official” source. That’s not how journalism is supposed to work.

Relay tells the story of a guy who “helps” would-be whistleblowers squeeze massive corporations for cash in exchange for silence… and a very large payout.
Is it morally clean?
Absolutely not.
The lead character is swimming in ethical gray zones — and yeah, you can question his motivations all day. But let’s be honest: there’s something undeniably satisfying about watching a giant corporation squirm when someone finally flips the leverage on them.
What makes Relay especially interesting is the way this guy protects himself. He doesn’t just stay anonymous — he builds layers of protection that are meticulous, obsessive, almost elegant. There’s one particular element to how he operates that I won’t spoil… but it’s clever as hell.
The acting isn’t exactly award-worthy, but the story? It holds up. It moves. It keeps you engaged. And it sticks the landing with a nice little twist at the end.
Fun, tense, morally messy — just how we like it.
Four stars.

Dead Man’s Wire tells the absolutely insane true story of Anthony “Tony” Kiritsis — a man who got financially wrecked by a mortgage company and decided he wasn’t going to just quietly disappear.
So what does he do?
He walks into the office of a mortgage executive, straps a shotgun to the guy’s neck using a literal dead man’s wire — meaning if he lets go, if the cops shoot him, if the hostage moves… the gun goes off.
Yeah. That actually happened.
Directed by Gus Van Sant and anchored by a seriously unhinged-in-the-best-way performance from Bill Skarsgård, this isn’t some cartoon villain fantasy. It’s tense, uncomfortable, tragic, and darkly absurd at times. You don’t have to agree with everything the guy did — obviously — but the film forces you to sit with what happens when someone feels completely crushed by a system that grinds people down and calls it business.
We don’t get many films that even flirt with anti-capitalist rage without turning it into a joke or a moral lecture.
This one actually goes there.
Beautifully shot. Superb acting. Morally messy in the best way.
And stick around through the credits — there’s a nice little surprise waiting for you.
Five stars.

#Prairieland Trial Update: Blessed Are the Zine Makers
Day one of the Prairieland trial was supposed to cement the government’s “ambush” narrative. Instead, it started poking holes in it.
This is the federal case against nine defendants stemming from the July 4, 2025 noise demonstration outside the Prairieland ICE detention center in Alvarado, Texas. The government has framed it as a coordinated attack on law enforcement — even tying it into their broader “Antifa = domestic terrorism” storyline.
In opening statements, prosecutors leaned heavily on political literature and zines as evidence of conspiracy. A printing press found in a raid was presented as one of the key links tying some of the defendants to the broader case. Yes — a printing press.
But the real shift came during cross-examination of Lt. Thomas Gross, the Alvarado officer who was allegedly shot during the incident.
Gross testified that when he arrived on scene, there was no serious crime underway beyond what he described as “criminal mischief.” That already strains the idea of a premeditated armed ambush.
He admitted he drew his weapon without identifying a clear threat. He admitted pointing his firearm at the back of a fleeing person. He couldn’t explain how he was supposedly facing a shooter yet was shot in the back. He was treated at the hospital for 2–4 hours and released the same day — and authorities still haven’t produced hospital records months later.
That testimony does not neatly support the image of police walking into a planned terrorist assault.
Meanwhile, access to the courtroom has been restricted, with family members removed or displaced to accommodate law enforcement seating.
Overlay all of this with the political climate: the case has been publicly framed by top federal officials as the first major prosecution of “Antifa” under new domestic terrorism prioritization guidelines. That context matters. It shapes jury pools. It shapes media narratives. It shapes everything.
Day one didn’t prove the government’s case. If anything, it exposed tension between the rhetoric and the actual testimony.
The trial continues.

PRAIRIELAND TRIAL UPDATE - Trump appointed judge to lead jury selection aka voir dire
If you don’t know what voir dire is: it’s jury selection — the part where lawyers and the judge question potential jurors to uncover bias and weed out people who can’t be fair.
What’s normal: lawyers get real time to ask jurors questions (often directly), follow up, and build a record about bias. It’s messy on purpose, because bias is messy.
What’s happening here: Judge Pittman is running voir dire himself. Lawyers can only submit questions for him to maybe ask, and they can’t ask jurors directly. That’s a huge control point in a case where the entire fight is about narrative and political framing.
And it’s not just jury selection:
Opening statements: capped at 8 minutes per defendant
Trial time: capped at 35 hours TOTAL for all defendants (while the U.S. gets 35 hours)
That’s not “keeping things efficient.” That’s compressing the defense in a high-stakes case.
THIS IS NOT NORMAL.

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show wasn’t just a performance — it was a statement about Puerto Rico, diaspora, language, colonization, and who gets to be seen as “American.”
You don’t have to like reggaetón. I don’t.
You don’t have to be a Bad Bunny fan. I’m not his biggest.
But in a moment when Latinos are criminalized for speaking Spanish and having an accent, seeing our culture centered on the world’s biggest stage matters.
I break down why — scene by scene, personal and political.

#BadBunny #SuperBowl #PuertoRico #LatinoVisibility #Culture #Identity

2026-02-09 01:49:44 UTC

Right off the bat: I loved the #BadBunny halftime show.
Yeah, I could do without some of the over-the-top sexy shit — but let’s be real, that’s his bread and butter. I’m not excusing it, just saying: if that’s all you saw, you missed the whole damn point.
From the very first image — people cutting sugar cane — this was political as hell. Sugar cane isn’t some random aesthetic. It’s the industrial agriculture imposed by the United States after they took over Puerto Rico in 1898. That was the moment communal farming was destroyed and Puerto Ricans were forced into brutal export agriculture for U.S. profit. That history matters.
The entire performance was an homage to the island I grew up in. The neighborhoods, the sounds, the colors, the references — there’s so much nostalgia packed in there I honestly can’t even list it all. They went down the fucking list. Every Puerto Rican I know was watching this with tears in their eyes.
And maybe most important of all: he did the whole thing in Spanish. At a time when Spanish has basically been criminalized — when people are afraid to speak it in public, afraid of having the “wrong” accent, especially after years of Trump-era racism — that alone is a massive political act.
I need to rewatch it because there’s so much going on, but I wanted to put this out there now. Because I already know a lot of people aren’t going to get it at first glance.
But make no mistake: this wasn’t just a halftime show.
It was a huge cultural and political moment — and for Puerto Ricans especially, it meant a hell of a lot.

Hot take: Trump’s whole Greenland power-trip didn’t scare Europe into line — it scared them into arming up.
He postures about “taking” #Greenland, and what’s the actual outcome? Europe rolls in with an expanded military presence “to deter China and Russia”… but also, let’s be real, to hedge against the possibility that the US itself is becoming unstable.
So instead of strengthening US control, Donald Trump basically handed Europe a polite excuse to militarize closer to North America. Not to threaten the US today — but to make sure they’re not caught flat-footed if Washington goes fully unhinged tomorrow.

This is a terrifying read from the homies at Garbage Day. If you care about how the internet gets weaponized against people on the ground, go subscribe. Re: #Ice in #Minneapolis
https://www.garbageday.email/p/we-re-all-just-content-for-ice
TL;DR:
• ICE + clout-chasing right-wing creators = one feedback loop. Guns in one hand, phones in the other, content first, humanity last.
• Public platforms are cooked for organizing; everything meaningful moved to whispers, Signal, and IRL mutual aid while the big apps boost propaganda.
• Laws + policy are rigged so filming or protesting ICE can be branded “terrorism,” while the state buys new toys (surveillance tools, drones) to watch and scare you.
• Media-industrial complex rides shotgun: crews and influencers stage-manage chaos for clicks, then launder it as “news.”
• Bottom line: we’re all being drafted as content—either to justify crackdowns or to feed the outrage machine. Communities are left protecting each other with whistles, walkies, and group chats.
Read: “We’re all just content for ICE.” It’s bleak, it’s sharp, and it nails how platform incentives + state power screw real people.

Momentum doesn’t magically appear—someone bleeds for it. If a comrade asks you to show up to the “nobody’s there yet” spot, say yes. That’s the moment that makes the moment. That’s where movements are born.

@nprofile…elur Yeah, we're hitting that FOMO with Roblox! How you manage the Fortnite battle? Our kid does play video gmaes, but they are all offline for the moment. He was a huge fan of Minecraft (educational edition) but he's getting board of that.

Our homies down under at TheJuiceMedia just dropped another banger — a savage, painfully accurate “Honest Government Ad” about Canada’s latest eco-colonial clusterfuck. You know, the kind of “nation-building” project that bulldozes Indigenous land and heats the planet at the same time. Efficiency, baby.

@nprofile…s44c Yeah, I hear you — people do need some relief, especially migrants and trans folks who’ve been catching hell nonstop. A breather matters. But let’s not mistake that for victory. Every time someone “friendly” gets in office, folks chill out, and that’s when movements rot from the inside. We’ve seen it again and again — Bolivia, Obama, take your pick. So sure, if Mamdani can ease the pressure, good. But don’t let that lull us. The work on the ground, the mutual aid, the organizing — that’s where the real shit happens.

2025-11-05 15:08:51 UTC

Yeah, it’s wild that #Mamdani, an avowed socialist, actually pulled it off—i mean new York fuckin city! Wow! But let’s not lose the plot. As anarchists, we’ve seen this movie before. Remember Greece with Syriza, Spain with Podemos? Once the left gets cozy in power, the system eats them alive. Sure, Mamdani might give folks a breather from the nonstop Trump bullshit, but let’s not confuse that with liberation. The real work stays in the streets, not the ballot box.

After a pile of grant rejections from the usual institutions, Clifton and I finally landed our first official grant for A Red Road to the West Bank — and no surprise, it’s anarchists who came through. Who else has our backs when we’re making films that call out colonialism by name?
We’re beyond honored to be recipients of the 2025 Jen Angel Anarchist Media Grant, thanks to the Institute for Anarchist Studies and Agency. Even sweeter, we get to share this honor alongside comrades making powerful work like The Dugout, Mainline’s The Process is the Punishment, and All Damn Night.
This film pulls no punches — it’s about the parallels between Indigenous struggles here and in Palestine, two peoples fighting the same settler colonial playbook. It’s a story the powers-that-be don’t want told, which is exactly why it needs to be.
We’ve still got a long road ahead and need serious support to finish. If you believe in radical media that doesn’t bow down, throw some love our way: https://amplifierfilms.ca/redroad

If you haven’t read this yet, get on it. @nprofile…2u03 just dropped a brain-melter on what the fuck we’re actually doing when we talk about revolution in the 21st century.
Forget the vanguard cosplay and NGO liberalism — this piece tears into the dead ends, revisits the lessons of movements past, and argues for something messier, spicier, and more grounded: autonomous power built through collective fucking risk.
“All Cocoons Are Temporary” doesn’t just ask how we organize — it asks why, and who the hell we’re building for. Spoiler: not your clout-chasing friend with a podcast.

Bon, 12 jours à parcourir le soi-disant Québec dans tous les sens – Camp Souveraineté, Kanehsataje, Wemotaci, retour à Camp Souveraineté, puis hop, Terre Inu, et enfin Mashteuiatsh – juste pour voir des actes de résistance autochtone badass contre l’avidité forestière. Premier épisode de notre série vidéo, et je vous préviens : ça va dépoter. Montage complet en docu bientôt.
Ne vous inquiétez pas, demain la version anglaise débarque. Et évidemment tout est en français… sauf la partie qui sera en anglais demain, parce que oui, je suis un génie de la logique linguistique. 😉
En juillet 2025, des défenseur·e·s de la terre innu·e·s et nehirowisiw·e·s, membres de l’Alliance MAMO, ont bloqué les voies ferrées du Canadien National entre la Mauricie et l’Abitibi pour stopper l’extraction massive de bois sur leurs territoires non cédés. Malgré la présence policière, les blocus sont restés pacifiques, ancrés dans une volonté de protection du territoire et de la forêt boréale. Amplifier Films était sur place, à Wemotaci et Mashteuiatsh, pour documenter cette action de souveraineté autochtone.

🚫 So we just caught another “thanks but no thanks” from a grant we applied to for our next film A Red Road to the West Bank—a journey into Indigenous resistance from Turtle Island to Palestine.
But fuck it. We’re not waiting around for institutions to decide if our stories are worth telling. We got a fresh batch of keffiyehs, straight from Palestinians in Syria via a homie in the West Bank, and this is how we’re gonna fund this film—through real-deal solidarity, not nonprofit begging bowls.
We’ve got black & white (classics), red, green, blue, and yo—RAINBOW keffiyehs. Only 9 of those exist, so if you want one, move fast.
💥 Go to https://amplifierfilms.ca, click the Keffiyehs link, drop a donation for A Red Road to the West Bank, and tell us which color you want in the notes. If we’ve still got it, it’s yours.
Half the cash goes to support the Palestinian vendor and his fam. The other half helps us get this radical-ass film made.

Yo, real talk—what the fuck are we gonna do when the internet gets shut off?
We've seen it in #Gaza, in #Iran, and when Elon “I-play-God” Musk blacked out Starlink in Ukraine. Every time shit gets heavy, the state or some oligarch clown just pulls the plug. It ain’t just a glitch—it’s strategic, it’s repression, and it’s a fucking reminder that most of our comms infrastructure is in the hands of fascists, corporations, or both.
I’ve been working with indigenous comrades who rely on #Starlink to stay connected in remote areas. And yeah, it’s wild that you can be deep in the bush and still shitpost from a mountaintop—but that signal still runs through a pipeline owned by a Nazi tech bro.
We need to be talking more about mesh networks, autonomous infrastructure, all that good shit that anarchist tech nerds have been yelling about for years. Decentralized, resilient, community-controlled comms aren’t just cool—they’re necessary for survival.
Let’s keep this convo alive and start building the lifelines before the next blackout. Shit’s coming fast.

@nprofile…gqvk for sure there's room for improvement over here in the dork web, but at least I'm not getting censored. The other day I had my personal YT channel nuked for no apparent reason. I had no copyright strikes, not hate speech, etc and boom- gone. Super fuckin frustrating and no way to appeal. Now tell me more about weird german laws?

2025-06-12 14:09:51 UTC

If you're on here and hearing your friends say they're going to #BlueSky 'cause they're “getting better reach” — remind them what always happens next.
They lure people in with engagement, then shadowban, censor, and sanitize once the politics get too real — especially when it comes to #Palestine.
Investing time and energy into these corporate-lite platforms is a trap. We’ve seen it over and over: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok — now BlueSky. It’s the same playbook with new branding.
Mastodon isn’t perfect, but at least it's not selling you out the second you speak truth.
Tell your people: don’t chase numbers. Chase liberation.
#FreePalestine. Always. 🖤❤️💚✊🏽

Seeing all these stories lately about Canadians and French getting hassled at the U.S. border—detained, interrogated, denied entry for dumb shit like having anti-Trump texts. And yeah, it’s fucked up. But let’s not act like this is new, or like it's just a U.S. thing.
This has always been the game. Border cops on both sides have been fucking with political dissidents, journalists, and anyone who doesn’t fit the tidy nationalist mold for decades. Remember when Amy Goodman got stopped coming into Canada just 'cause they thought she might talk shit about the Olympics? Yeah, that’s Canada for you.
I’ve been detained. My comrades have been detained. Phones searched. Bullshit questions. Border agents acting like the law don’t exist in that grey-zone limbo they control. And guess what? They’re kinda right. There’s no recourse. When you’re at the border, you’re at the mercy of a settler-colonial state that’s scared shitless of dissent.
So yeah, be outraged—but don’t stop at the white liberal discomfort at the border. Save your biggest rage for the deportation machine, the genocidal siege on Gaza, and the cages filled with people just trying to survive.
Borders are violence. Always have been.
Here's a handy guide about how to deal with these situations if crossing into the US, but a lot of the info applies to Canada too!

I’m gonna keep repeating this as often as I have the energy — maybe every day — because it needs to be said.
If you think this moment is gonna pass quickly, that things will “go back to normal,” you're fooling yourself. We're already deep in a slow-burning emergency, and it’s speeding up. Most people I talk to get that something’s wrong, but they’re not acting like time is short — and it is.
So here's what I’m asking:
Stay where you live, unless it's too dangerous.
Get to know your neighbors.
Figure out where your food will come from when the supply chains start wobbling.
Protect your people.
Practice good security culture.
This isn’t panic. It’s preparation. It’s love. We look out for each other, or we don’t make it. I’ll drop some resources in the thread. Hang in there, and stay human

🔥 They stole the land. They bombed the beaches. They poisoned the water. But the people of #Vieques fought back—and they won.
For 60 years, the U.S. Navy used Vieques as a war playground, displacing families and turning paradise into a toxic wasteland. The people resisted with blockades, occupations, and mass disobedience—until they forced the empire to back down.
But colonialism doesn’t end when the soldiers leave. The land is still fenced off, contaminated, stolen. Sound familiar? #Gaza. Kanien’kehá:ka lands. Different places, same colonial script.
They want us to accept displacement as normal. We never will.
