lmao dang I did a better job walking at Rufus Shinra’s whole shindig

I saw a LOT of older folks honking horns exuberantly and cheering at the rally today. It's striking how strongly they seem to be against what's happening

Been a more active day so needed more rest time between sets, but we did it!! Up to 20lbs the whole way through now as well!

Kettlebell time!

The biggest thing that gets me conspiracy brained about the last election is something we’re seeing today: People don’t show up for his events. People do show up to counter events. Over and over again, he just has nobody turning out for him.

Took a nice long walk in the sun, looked like at least a few hundred local folks had the same idea Lotta honking Nice to see everyone enjoying the weather

“The most anti-capitalist protest is to care for another and to care for yourself. To take on the historically feminized and therefore invisible practice of nursing, nurturing, caring. To take seriously each other’s vulnerability and fragility and precarity, and to support it, honor it, empower it…

Hello from Berlin where a few hundred Americans are outside the embassy, currently reading aloud from the Declaration of Independence. #nokings

I’ve been off my workout game this week for a handful of slightly longer days at work, plus a vaccine that left me a bit woozy for two days- but I’m excited to get back at it today! I need to buy some heavier kettlebells- 16kg / 24kg!

Every day I come closer to getting a Bloodborne sleeve tattoo

Look at downtown LA right now

Stay classy, San Diego. #NoKings

Los Angeles. Just wow.

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

Greetings! I’m here at Los Angeles City Hall. A group of at minimum ten thousand here for a “No Kings” protest. People spilling out far past the area of Grand Park and City Hall.

Chicago

Lotta people at this Philly No Kings protest. Like, a lot.

This last week is a real demonstration of how capacious, yet flattened the word "violent" is in our political discourse. Political assassinations are obviously, clearly violent. But the same word has been used all week to describe protestors damaging objects--not people, objects.

It’s important to be crystal clear-eyed about the fact that the right wing in this country enthusiastically embraces violence as a tactic, and that embrace is only accelerating.

Oh buddy

Ok if someone asks you how to prep for No Kings, don't warn them about kettles and tear gas, warn them about the literal sun. "Bring a hat, sunscreen, snacks, twice as much water as you think you need, and flag/sign of your choice. Wear comfy shoes. If your phone is old bring a battery pack."

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.

PSA for everyone going to protests

The head of the department of homeland security announced that she planned to use military force to take over a democratically elected government in the state of California and we are arguing about whether a California Senator properly identified himself at the door.

Bought a pair of (physical) books- unlikely I’ll ever have chance to use them but… Well, maybe it’s time to be prepared in case. In a number of ways.

I am imploring you to see this escalation of criminalization against personal protective equipment for the immense threat that it is, especially for mutual aid participants, especially for chronically ill & disabled folks (not mutually exclusive). How can you help? Normalize masks, wear respirators.

BREAKING: Judge Breyer orders Trump to return control of the National Guard back to California, saying the call-up was illegal. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Noem may lack formal military authority, but with material backing from the armed forces, combined with this rhetoric evoking Putin, the US looks to be in the midst of a kind of grey-zone conflict that’s already progressed beyond what you could reasonably call a soft civil war.

There really are weeks where decades happen huh
