Extremely niche post maybe, but if you're anti-civ and noided (parapolitics) this may interest you.

Do you remember Alexander Reid Ross? After publishing a book via AK Press in 2017 he solidified himself as being the anarchist authority on fascism, but then it turned a lot of his research was bunk and ended up being retracted by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Pretty embarrassing. His whole deal is basically saying both leftwing and right-wing extremism are the same (it's awful.)

I was reading a post by all-things-are-nothing-to-me who wrote that ARR was also responsible for labeling the environmental group ITS as "nazis" - fashjacketing them:

So this guy has a history of falsely equating left and rightwing extremism. Wonder who benefits from that analysis? The media class and government agencies looking to label forest defenders as "terrorists." And yes, ARR has worked for some pretty spooky organizations, like the National Contagion Research Institute, that researches "political extremism" and has ex-cops and former Department of Homeland Security agents on its board:

He also gives talks at NATO events:

And if all that isn't weird enough, he is also a writer at Bellingcat. Bellingcat receives funding from known CIA cutout the National Endowment for Democracy:

But even if you don't find that detail sus, you may remember that last year a Bellingcat journalist used facial recognition technology to snitch out and help arrest Daniela Klette, a Red Army Faction / Baader-Meinhof Member:

Using spy-tech to help arrest an aging communist is kind of a weird thing for a leftist "open source" truth-seeking newspaper to do?

All in all Alexander Reid Ross is colleagues with federal agents, cops, works for mysteriously funded conservative think tanks and newspapers that help arrest communists on their free time. And his research focuses on equating green anarchists and communists with fascists. Strange resume for an anarchist!

You're not in this all alone.

Please, do not get discouraged by time.

There is a final point to all of it.

Stay the course. 🤔

the scariest part about bwagfeo is that dan and phil have almost certainly seen posts about it and could reference it at any second

The death cap mushroom (Amanita phalloides) is one of the most toxic and deadly mushrooms in the world. It’s responsible for the majority of fatal mushroom poisonings, as it contains potent toxins called amatoxins that are highly resistant to heat and enzymes, meaning they remain toxic even after cooking.

Characteristics of the Death Cap

Appearance:

Cap: It has a pale green to olive-brown, smooth cap that can be mistaken for other edible mushrooms. The cap is usually 5–15 cm in diameter, with a somewhat sticky surface when wet.

Gills: The gills beneath the cap are white and free (not attached to the stalk).

Stalk: The stalk is white or pale, with a swollen base that may have a cup-like structure (volva).

Spore Print: The spore print of the death cap is white.

Habitat:

It is most commonly found in temperate regions, particularly in Europe and North America, often growing in association with hardwood trees like oak, chestnut, and pine.

It thrives in moist environments, typically appearing in late summer or fall.

Toxicity and Symptoms of Poisoning

Death cap mushrooms contain several toxic compounds, with amatoxins being the most lethal. These toxins inhibit RNA polymerase II, a critical enzyme in protein synthesis, leading to cell death—especially in the liver and kidneys.

Poisoning Stages:

Latency Period (6-12 hours): After ingestion, there is a deceptive phase with no symptoms, which can lull people into a false sense of security.

Gastrointestinal Phase (12-24 hours): Violent abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea occur, leading to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.

Apparent Recovery (1-2 days): Symptoms seem to improve, but this is an illusion. Meanwhile, liver and kidney damage is worsening internally.

Liver/Kidney Failure (3-5 days): If untreated, the liver and kidneys begin to fail, leading to coma and potentially death.

Treatment

Immediate medical attention is critical. Hospital treatment often involves:

Activated Charcoal: Administered to absorb any remaining toxins.

Intravenous fluids: To manage dehydration.

Liver Transplant: In severe cases, patients may require a liver transplant to survive.

Unfortunately, even with aggressive treatment, the death rate for death cap mushroom poisoning can range from 10–30%.

Edibility Confusion

One of the most dangerous aspects of the death cap is its resemblance to edible mushrooms. It can easily be confused with mushrooms like the paddy straw mushroom (Volvariella volvacea) and the caesar’s mushroom (Amanita caesarea), particularly in its early stages of growth.

Cultural Impact and History

Death caps have a long and infamous history:

In ancient Rome, they were believed to have been used in political assassinations, notably in the death of Emperor Claudius.

Poisonings continue to occur worldwide, often involving foragers who mistake the death cap for an edible mushroom, particularly in areas where foraging is common.

Conclusion

The death cap mushroom is a highly toxic species that requires caution and awareness. It highlights the importance of proper identification and knowledge for those who forage mushrooms.

"Why, as a Republican mayor, I support Kamala Harris over Trump"

Arizona Republicans like me can emulate Sen. John McCain's motto of 'Country First' and beat back Trump and his threat to democracy. - John Giles

I've told you all something is happening.

Mesa is the 34th most conservative city IN THE UNITED STATES. And the Mayor is saying this in the state's largest paper.

Change is happening, people. We cannot squander this moment to come together and protect our democracy.

Maybe these people will change their minds if they learn that birth control pills are also used for stuff other than...well...birth control; many AFABs (myself included) take them for hormone regulation and managing medical conditions.

Or maybe they won't. Maybe they'll just plug their ears and keep whining about "the depravity."

Easy access to contraception is a right. Easy access to healthcare is a right. Oral contraceptives can serve as both of these things, and they should be protected as such.

Resources regarding Sex Trafficking because I saw a post spreading misinformation and it pissed me off:

Homeland Security: Sex trafficking 101, quick guide:

What signs might indicate a person is a victim of sex trafficking:

Polaris Project: wonderful organization that has worked EXTENSIVELY with victims, they have a treasure trove of good information. I would highly reccommend reading their annual reports. They are also tracking Labor trafficking.

hey, quick question for the “nerdy” internet

how many fictional genocides and fascist regimes will it take for us to take action against genocide and fascism in real life? when will we learn our lessons from these cautionary tales, and when will we finally enact these lessons?

No matter how they try to re-write this story, remember what you saw. Remember that Elon Musk fully did a Nazi salute on live television. Save videos and photos. Do not lose the narrative. Musk has shown us who he is. Believe him.
