Science fiction fan. Witch. Old hippie. I tend not to follow people I don't know in some way. In person is best, even if it was just met once at a con or festival. Love cats but can't have one any more because they are a tripping hazard for me.

A large crowd is gathering at downtown’s Federal building to protest ICE arrests today all over Los Angeles. @shoton35mm.bsky.social is on the scene.

Scenes like this were DIRECTLY caused by Stephen Miller's wailing that ICE can't arrest the number of people he promised they would arrest (bc he lied abt how many criminal aliens there are).

Thinking of a hero I knew and admired.

"Don't murder Greta Thunberg and half a dozen other people in cold blood with US made weapons" gets a whopping 11 signatures in the House

Can we please have a general strike now

The militarization of ICE and DHS will lead to more violent escalations. Historically, these are the kind of incidents that lead to civil wars. The mass deportations must end.

The Russia's Future channel, launched by Navalny's widow Yulia Navalnaya and Reporters Without Borders, began broadcasting Wednesday, on what would have been the late Russian activist's 49th birthday.

live from the huge spontaneous anti-ICE protest after the agency used military-style tactics during a series of raids in Los Angeles today.

NOOOOOOOO

DHS FIRING ON US FOR A MINUTE STRAIGHT OUTSIDE THE DETENTION CENTER. Please watch and share. EYES ON LA! FUCK ICE!

Heavily-armed DHS paramilitary forces in military vehicles fired dozens of stun grenades at a crowd of onlookers today in Los Angeles.

When I published THEY CALL HER FREGONA in 2022, a book about a girl whose father is snatched by ICE out of his truck in front of her middle school moments after he drops her off, some critics found the premise implausible. Now our communities are living with dozens of these cases a day.

You’re a party trying to be a big tent to actual Seig Heiling fascists , And one of the largest cities just did an impromptu MARCH On an issue YOUR PARTY DOESN’T EVEN HAVE AN EMERGENCY ISSUE RESPONSE PAGE TO

I can't believe any Democrat would THINK of allying with Elon Musk. I won't take money from the guy who does a Hitler salute. It's really that simple.

So it’s 6 days in June and we have a massive hate crime and MURDER against a Native actor and the illegal arrest of the head of one of America’s biggest union The Dem website has no response

This is so important to understand what's behind the anti democracy movements today and crypto and AI and how it all ties together. Please watch! www.youtube.com/live/FWjR6_q...

from the profile Mike links. REALLY @nytimes.com? 293 days in a Russian jail counts as "briefly"???? what the ACTUAL fuck?

both pro/antinatalism are extreme right wing ideas and I fundamentally reject that the left has to accept that framework as legitimate at all

We pay into social security our entire working lives. I've been paying in since I was 16. That's our damn money. We earned it.

The beautiful Breonna Taylor should have celebrated her 32nd birthday today. Never forget her. ❤️🕊️

I confronted Secretary Luttnick for gutting the MBDA, firing NOAA scientists, and shortchanging quantum innovation. This administration is sabotaging progress and targeting public servants. We need answers—and I’m not letting up. #MBDA #NOAA #QuantumLeadership #AccountabilityNow

Marc Andreessen/ Horowitz is also a police department donor. They donated 7 million to Las Vegas police dept. www.reviewjournal.com/crime/blurri... 

probably the most important detail in the Garcia indictment news abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl...

After months of ignoring our Constitution, it seems the Trump Administration has relented to our demands for compliance with court orders and due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia. This has never been about the man — it’s about his constitutional rights and the rights of all. Full statement:

The RNC moved to defend President Trump's executive order to restrict voter access from various legal challenges. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

NYT's breakdown is very helpful. But CBO failed to tally the MASSIVE cost of gutting IRS budget & firing all the people Team Biden hired. This is expected to a) Reduce revenues by 10% just from people not filing, and b) decimate audits of the superwealthy. Just a terrible business decision by GOP.

🍿

What I did not anticipate in the Trump-Musk breakup was that the general public was going to feel the need to pick sides instead of wanting them both to lose which is the only proper and correct response.

This is a fascinating study and wonderful possibility for zero cost, non-pharma intervention and also they made tiny mouse-sized massage wands with wood sticks and cotton balls and a scientist massages the faces and necks of the mice every day. 🥹 www.newscientist.com/article/2483...

Bitch HOW Motherfucker DOING WHAT JOBS Chucklefuck IT IS THEIR MONEY

Abrego Garcia’s return is a huge victory for due process. But this indictment already stinks.

Pretty egregious error from this book: The authors say Swedish deaths fell by 2.3% during the pandemic, proving that the country's lax lockdown strategy worked. But they misread their source: Mortality is only down if you remove the COVID deaths. research.abo.fi/ws/portalfil...

Questions like “Dom Lucre told the New York Times he stumbled across the child sexual abuse material on an Indonesian website, but he claimed in July 2023 that a “video was sent” containing the imagery. Perhaps Stuart Thompson could have looked into that.

A protest against the detainments of immigrants at 930 e towne in LA beginning to escalate. Detainees are being filed into trucks. Large protest is here. Tear gas has been deployed. More to come.

Here’s the online post by Ben Schrader, ex Chief of the Criminal Division of the U.S. Attorney’s office in NASHVILLE — who ABC says resigned because their decision to charge Kilmar Abrego Garcia is politically motivated. Hope @chrislhayes.bsky.social or someone interviews him!

Mamdani has a shot because his campaign is actually following the basic principles: 1) mobilize your base, and 2) grow your base with previous non-voters or occasional voters. (As opposed to the national Dems strategy of trying to convert a few people in the "middle" while alienating your base.)

An American citizen and Los Angeles native, @seiucalifornia @seiuusww President David Huerta was injured and detained when ICE terrorized a working neighborhood. We demand his immediate release!

Had some thoughts regarding the whole Abrego Garcia thing, how this proves they absolutely could have brought him back all along, combined with how weak the indictment appears to be.

Every reasonable Person must understand that the Russian Regime is the new Hitler regime - a bunch of crazy war criminals - and the most powerful people in the West POTUS and Musk admire and support them - this is f*cking wrong and must change.
