We are all completely heartbroken by the death of Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, the peaceful protester who was killed at the Salt Lake City rally on Saturday night. If you can, please consider supporting his family while we hold them in our hearts.

No notes.

We have to use this moment and momentum to build the future for everyone- there can be no “going back.”

I met a very nice woman last night who told me, quite happily, that she had stopped following all news since January. If you have friends like that, today is a good day to get them caught up. You can skip over the middle. Just go straight to today.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

The folks hollering about “family values” are out here tearing families apart with unlawful ICE raids, militarized police, & the weaponization of government. All while ripping away food & healthcare from working-class families. Are the family values in the room with us?

One of many lessons we can learn from cats.

“This is what oligarchy looks like!” www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

Willem Arondeus was a gay Dutch artist who participated in the bombing of the Amsterdam public records office to hinder the Nazis from identifying Dutch Jews and others wanted by the Gestapo. His final words before execution were, “Tell people that homosexuals are not cowards.” 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I guess the regional jail systems explains in some way that I have not yet learned why the whole state of Virginia is drawn in little dots in the map. But it still fascinates me that so many deep red communities made Kristi’s naughty list. cis.org/Map-Sanctuar...

S2E2 - "Anschluss '77" - Wonder Woman stops a N*zi plot to bring back you know who. You bet I'd do it again!!! This is your reminder to always stand up for what's right. Rise up. Resist. Love thy neighbor. ❤️🤍💙

This part

WATCH: @repmoskowitz.bsky.social calls out the astounding nearly $1 BILLION (!!) for ICE employees in bonuses alone in the Republican budget. Masked anti-constitutional vigilantism pays well these days. 🇺🇸

Republicans can only lose 3 Senate votes on Trump's Big Ugly Bill — and these senators are the most vulnerable in 2026: -Collins (ME) -Tillis (NC) -Sullivan (AK) -Husted (OH) -Moody (FL) -Cornyn (TX) -Ernst (IA) If they represent you, tell them to vote NO.  (202) 224-3121

What she said.

Further to my post last week about rich people not knowing the real value of anything, lol

WATCH: “LIE, LIE, LIE.” @mrjamesob.bsky.social shows the fake marked graves Trump ambushed SA’s prez with were a demonstration by a son for rural farmers of “ALL COLORS” — shreds the @telegraphnews.bsky.social for "One of the single worst examples of journalism I've ever seen in a 🇬🇧 newspaper.”

Really interested in Jake Tapper’s next book about the current administration’s secrets, coverups and corruption. It’ll make a great retrospective read while I’m on break from shoveling out from beneath the polluted rubble we’ll be living under in 4 years.

“Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has-“ NOPE! Nope nope nope…

“Sorry, we don’t have enough money for universal healthcare, we’re too busy paying people whose family members tried to overthrow the federal government”

Don't let the assholes distract you from the world being beautiful and worth protecting.

your energy actually is finite and spending time fighting about the former president while the current president is putting this country in a wood chipper seems like a bad use of it

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 63 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Just wanna make sure I understand: the people who brought you the January 6th gallows and chanted death threats at the VP want us to believe “8647” written in seashells is an assassination threat warranting prosecution?

if the united states were treating plantation homes like dachau, where i went on a field trip in 5th grade, it would be different. the u.s. is not sorry about the way it has treated black people in any era. period. they use those places like amusement parks and don't even mention the history.

This right here....🔥💯🔥

Yes, many people outed themselves today as never having worked in food service.

Ruh roh.

Be punk as f*ck.

Just hit me that the importing of white folks from South Africa and exporting of brown people is actually, literally an attempt at a great replacement

Come tell UVA to withdraw their proposal for the FEI property, so Cville students have the facilities they need to thrive! (Background: DOE withdrew its approval for the public schools to have this property, & gave it to the behemoth university, perceived as more friendly to Trumps EOs).
