Emily Jazmin Tatum Perez was a West Point graduate. While serving in Iraq, she was killed in action by an I.E.D., the first black female officer in U.S. military history to die in combat and the first female graduate of West Point to die in Iraq.

The video documenting why she chose to serve in the Army and in combat has been deleted by the Army under the Trump Administration.

Erasing her from the collective memory of America will not be tolerated. - Mel Tansill

Being a vegetarian who grew up eating very little candy and no soda won’t save you.

Yoga won’t save you.

Being able to do 37 pushups in a minute and over 100 sit-ups in a minute won’t save you.

Tracking macros won’t save you.

Fibre won’t save you.

Turmeric won’t save you.

You don’t want a boosted immune system and in any case it won’t save you.

You will need solidarity.

You will need doctors who aren’t ableist wankers.

You will need a social safety net.

Fight now.

Hey Canadians:

I just heard about two Canadian friends of a friend who were driving into the US

the border agents demanded they unlock their phones; the agents searched the phones, found anti-Trump stuff on one ...

... then confiscated that phone and neither person was allowed into the US

These folks weren't activists or anything -- the search doesn't appear to have been triggered by that

so, govern yourselves accordingly

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-24/democracy-climate-change-ai-robotics-war/105085846 Australia’s politicians over the past thirty years have failed Australia miserably. We have no national commitment to addressing the big issues of today and the foreseeable future. Most destructive of all have been the conservative parties led by the Liberal Party. We cannot afford another term of regressive politics under an LNP Coalition government.
