It’s wild—although expected—how giant corporations still send ships staffed by workers into danger just to keep commerce flowing and quarterly profits up. As if workers were disposable. https://apnews.com/article/iran-us-israel-war-oil-hormuz-may-14-2026-efb53c39ee6334733e1cb22ca4a6c27914 May 2026 14:24 +0000at://did:plc:4vfdvfvceesfaaqdwareanl5/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlszhtrukk2chttps://bsky.app/profile/andral404.bsky.social/post/3mlehuupo2227Hmmm maybe we should shut down every street on the north side next time CPD kills someone.08 May 2026 19:32 +0000at://did:plc:4vfdvfvceesfaaqdwareanl5/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlehuupo2227https://bsky.app/profile/andral404.bsky.social/post/3mktdtmuzjc2gThe innocent blood of the martyrs was calling for revenge02 May 2026 00:05 +0000at://did:plc:4vfdvfvceesfaaqdwareanl5/app.bsky.feed.post/3mktdtmuzjc2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/andral404.bsky.social/post/3mjxc7uroas2tIn Chicago today—what was supposed to be a simple off-street cleaning at Eugene Field in Albany Park turned into an encampment sweep that lasted for hours. City workers destroyed two unhoused residents’ belongings and shelter.20 Apr 2026 20:21 +0000at://did:plc:4vfdvfvceesfaaqdwareanl5/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjxc7uroas2thttps://bsky.app/profile/andral404.bsky.social/post/3migtq3naq22fGoing to go on a rant here for a second… This is the scariest point for me, which is the normalization of ICE activity and the desensitization to these abductions as they happen more sporadically and at lower profile. Last year was a mess, it created a spectacle, but now it’s just everyday.

The process of relocation was sloppy, and devoid of any type of consideration for the needs of the residents, such as location etc. [contains quote post or other embedded content]17 Mar 2026 14:27 +0000at://did:plc:4vfdvfvceesfaaqdwareanl5/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhb6l2qgwk2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/andral404.bsky.social/post/3mgahjybxek27I hate this man so much04 Mar 2026 14:09 +0000at://did:plc:4vfdvfvceesfaaqdwareanl5/app.bsky.feed.post/3mgahjybxek27https://bsky.app/profile/andral404.bsky.social/post/3mg75uqytbc24“To be free, one needs to be feared” He said the quiet bit out loud. Countries need to either have the power to blow up earth or be bullied into submission. I guess we’re just going to have to get used to this type of escalation, and maybe start stockpiling potassium iodide pills.
