Less than a mile from my house, in case anyone is wondering why I haven't left my house in two weeks except to the mailbox at the gate to get the mail.

Bisbee is a tiny artsy town (less than 5000 population) with a vibrant queer community near the AZ-Mexico border and a bunch of Border Patrol agents rolled up to Bisbee Pride this weekend and snatched people up right as the parade was about to kick off.

Having spent time meeting the people who built Louisiana Trans Advocates and seeing how broke all of them were and how hard they fought against the anti-trans bills with fucking nothing I am fucking SEETHING with rage at Equality Federation ratfucking them like this Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Urgent appeal from Dr. Ahmed al-Farra...all these babies will die if milk doesn't get into Gaza

NYT: Trump Travel Restrictions Bar Residents Needed at U.S. Hospitals "Limits on travel and visa appointments have delayed or prevented foreign doctors from entering the country for jobs set to begin in weeks." Gift link!

I have been hearing for 11 years now that insurance sector will wake people up to climate change (and the some in the industry have been talking about it longer than that). Please, do not count on this!

Grateful that Brad Lander is using his experience to highlight the biggest outrage; that ICE is re-arresting people who have been 100% compliant with ICE and the courts, with the goal of unlawfully stripping them of a court hearing to juice Stephen Miller's deportation numbers.

Vinay Prasad was named as both the FDA’s chief scientific officer and chief medical officer TODAY. He immediately fired Nicole Verdun, who was in charge of cell and gene therapies. “Now, there will definitely be concerns and questions about what this means for the division under Vinay Prasad”.

This part

Listen to Black women got real optional

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

“The only democracy in the Middle East” they keep telling us “Just because it’s Jews only doesn’t make it an apartheid state” they insist www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/...

A Muslim candidate for mayor of the nation's largest city, defending the rights of a Jewish candidate for mayor, who was arrested for defending the rights of immigrants not to face detention without warrants. This is the kind of solidarity Trump and his goons fear.

Pretty startling: Levar Stoney appears to have lost the primary for lieutenant governor by a narrow 4000 votes statewide, roughly. He’s the former mayor of Richmond: he lost Richmond 58% to 21%, so down 10,500 votes there. !!

paradoxically the US would have much less deferential interviewers if it had an equivalent of the BBC, which sets the tone for UK media culture

Crazy this has to be said but bare minimum I think law enforcement of any kind gotta have a uniform and badge Even somebody who puts tickets on cars has a hat and a vest Eventually a bunch of dudes who just look like dudes are gonna grab someone who’s armed and all our lives will get a lot worse

The resistance against ICE is having an effect. Dozens of armed agents deployed along with a helicopter, resulting in ... two kidnappings.

like I know we all know it but Christ when you say it out loud

Cat owner kidnapped by ICE. Cats need a place to land. Can anyone step up? Cats are in the Baltimore area.

i just find this so bizarre. searching through texts and doing the reading for myself is how i actually think through ideas! trying to put together a sentence is how i figure out what i actually want to say!

I’m glad she’s feeling some heat

GO GET YOUR FUCKING PASSPORTS

This is currently at: $265/$600, thanks to y'all! 💕💸 I have another 9 days before anything else is due, but my lights are on, and my clothes are (on the way to being) clean! Guess I'll throw a pair of light sweats in there since the weather just doing anything. linktr.ee/BELLAD0NNA

RCV is the reason why the Lander and Mamdani fan bases aren't at each others' throats, Bernie vs Warren 2020 style

My spidey senses continue to ask if that Peace Keeper was a cop...

How sad/brilliant is it that these heroes showed up to an ICE office to guard their mom in uniform?

sorry, I just. how are we still doing this. how are any Democrats still trying to appease him by approving nominees. why is everyone so terrified of this man that they were willing to call him a fascist when campaigning against him but the second he was elected they gave up (this is rhetorical)

More about the 50501 movement. I received an email from the original founder. The movement is not what it was set out to be, and hasn’t been for a while.

What.

Reporter: Five fellow mayoral candidates came here within 90 minutes of you being arrested and called for your release. What does that say about the tenor of the mayor's race? Lander: Was one of them Andrew Cuomo? Reporter: It was not. Lander: Imagine that!

ICE is cocking assault rifles and pointing them at civilians. This happened in Pico Rivera this morning.

If New Yorkers are wondering who will fight back against Federal overreach, we have visible evidence today that Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander are the candidates that you should rank 1 or 2 Lander literally resisted federal overreach and Mamdani showed up immediately to have his back Fuck Cuomo

I’ve said it before; I’ll say it again: I LOVE my career. I HATE my industry. Tech is the one area that easily makes hundreds of billions of dollars hand over fist; enough to pay everyone multiple times over… Yet goes through the most fucking layoffs b/c stupid, greedy asshole executives exist.

The Alt National Park Service account calls itself the official "resistance" team of the US National Park Service. With 887k followers, is one of the biggest accounts on Bluesky. It is the 11 most followed account according to some trackers. This thread will dive into its activity. 🧵 1/x.

An astonishing number of transnational adoptees are also being set up for failure by abusive parents who never finalize their citizenship. It's incredibly easy for a citizen to abuse undocumented or under-documented family members

Periodic reminder that every day is STFU Friday, and that you should not provide evidence on Instagram to help someone sue you for negligent supervision in a ruby red state

This is me replying to @blackamazon.bsky.social pointing out the optics of MOC being the ones to rough up a Jewish lawyer in NYC in immigration court. I'll remind ya'll Peter Liang is Asian-American, NYPD, killed the Black, unarmed Akai Gurley in Brooklyn. It's an Asian-American man whose maskless.

NY Governor Kathy Hochul inside 26 Federal Plaza now, seeking answers from DHS/ICE about the arrest of NYC Comptroller Brad Lander, who is still being detained. @thecity.nyc "How long is this going to take, I don't think he has a long rap sheet," Hochul says to agents.

hence when we say the laws are unjust - we mean it

URGENT: comptroller & mayoral candidate Brad Lander was just arrested doing a court watch shift with JFREJ & is being held. If you can, head to 26 Federal Plaza, we're demanding his release & shining a light on ICE's violence. JFREJers are on the ground. We will send more updates as we know them.

Federal agents just illegally detained Brad Lander in New York City

This is one of the main reasons they wanted Trump to win in 2024. The bosses were desperate to get workers back into a situation where they are desperate and easy to exploit, and away from the tight Biden labor market, where low wage workers were getting double digit % raises. Promises kept!
