Imma do something I have NEVER EVER done. Starting Friday at Royal Albert Hall and thru our entire Guns N Roses tour in Europe,,, every night I’m gonna auction off or sell the clock that I wore on stage and the proceeds are gonna go to single parents and teachers who need school supplies. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

1/ I'm not a sportsball person but agree that what Bluesky needs more of just anything that isn't politics and current events. We need some sorbet with the shit sandwiches being shoved down our throats all day. To that end, here are a few art-related accounts to literally brighten your timeline...

Two national guard soldiers in uniform escorted their mother to her immigration hearing to prevent her from being kidnapped by ICE!

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 97 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Good advice via a FB friend! #LAProtests

I would rather live next to an immigrant than a cop.

🚨 SOUTH PHILLY: ICE was spotted on 7th & Snyder at 9am this morning; their two unmarked Dodge SUVs (one gray, one black) are heading South on Broad as of 10am. Community members have eyes on them—alert your neighbors! KKF 7661 gray Dodge SUV LTM 932 black Dodge SUV

You don’t need to be in LA to fight back. Rapid response rallies are happening across the nation to demand David Huerta’s release and an end to ICE raids. actionnetwork.org/event_campai... #FreeDavidHuerta #FreeThemALL

So I got real mad and went to town in somebody else's comments last night (not at them) but I think it's a topic that deserves more attention so here we go: Why I talk so much shit about cops in general but LA-area cops in particular and openly cast doubt on their claims every chance I get

The people of Los Angeles will rally on Monday, 6/9 to demand the release of everyone unjustly detained by ICE, like SEIU leader David Huerta, and an end to militaristic escalation on our communities. Join us and @aclusocal.bsky.social at 11 AM in LA to call for an end to these human rights abuses.

LAPD when they think nobody is watching

Time for Philly to live up to its reputation.

NO. This is a white & republican problem. W is the one who needs to step up & say something. Pres Obama doesn't anyone a gdamn thing.

ICE crossed a line in LA

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

Abrego Garcia being returned to the USA not 24 hrs after matty y went to the mattyresses to argue it was a classic example of a lost cause is the perfect distillation of the value of matty y as a political observer

TEXAS YOU HAVE RUNOFFS TOMORROW!!! Make sure to vote. We flipped a lot of Texas seats and we can do it again! This is my guide but also check with your county Board of election website because I might not have found everything open.substack.com/pub/ariellae...

UPDATE: David Huerta has been released from the hospital but remains in custody. His words: "We all collectively have to object to this madness because this is not justice. This is injustice." Free David Huerta. Free them ALL.

ICE raids hit across Los Angeles today—and locals are rising up. This is what resistance looks like. ✊🏾 This was about an hour ago…

For those who don't know the reference, please watch this piece of pure ART.

NEW: On Thursday, Comptroller Brad Lander joined the court-watchers at 290 Broadway, one of the city's three federal immigration court buildings, and walked with immigrants away from their court appearances in order to deter ICE agents from abducting them. hellgatenyc.com/lander-accom...

you know how we know we have fascism here? we're not even talking about commemorating D Day. it's Friday.

I worked on Wall Street during 9/11. I witnessed it first hand from the ground a few blocks away. Breathed it in for months on end. Panic attacks for decades. My lungs are compromised for life from it. TERRORISM PREVENTION IS NOT A JOB FOR SOME 22-YEAR OLD DIPSHIT WITH ZERO KNOWLEDGE OR EXPERIENCE.

This is Mertarvik, Alaska, population 300. It’s a new town. Its residents, the vast majority of whom are Yup’ik, began moving in around 2019. The move was by necessity: The nearby village where many residents previously lived, Newtok, is sinking, its riverbanks eroding. THREAD 🧵

Because they're not law enforcement officers and we need act accordingly.
