BIG anti-Trump Regime protest in lowell right now. Protesters are filling Kerouac park and lining bridge street. Lots of honking. #lowell #massachusetts #nokings #protest #fucktrumpprop

For context, this is less crowded than a typical saturday on the mall in the summer. Also where are the food trucks lol, you should be able to get empanadas and cheesesteaks and gyros and soft serve. Nobody sane wants anything to do with any of this.

I don't mean to dox anybody but I found your address

lots of people out at lowell city hall for an anti-ICE rally. crowd is pretty pumped learning chants. building muscle memory. pretty powerful NGL. #lowell #massachusetts #fuckice

just a reminder that only water goes in your eyes, don’t wear contacts to a protest if you can help it, hot showers will hurt like hell if you have mace or gas residue on your skin. turn off face ID on your phone. pick a buddy & never leave their side. if detained, ask for a lawyer & then shut up.

My favorite snack of the moment: squares of tofu griddled in homemade chili oil on top and bottom, with a little soy sauce.

The fey are restless.

Another day, another local facebook forum post full of people looking for any excuse to pepper spray brown kids for existing in public. I used to think we as a city were on our own but the outer districts are nuts too, it's downtown and south lowell and the acre v everyone else.

Reports of an uprising inside Delaney Hall immigration detention center in Newark NJ. I was here with people trying to visit family when we all started choking due to tear gas used inside.

Not a Boston issue (yet), but if you want to read the judge's ruling ordering the regime to return control of the National Guard in Los Angeles to the governor: universalhub.com/images/2025/...

BEWARE THE FALSE PROPHETS

Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city." Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

It's funny that established job interview processes no longer work. If you want to hire people to do work despite the circumstances, you are increasingly trying to hire sociopaths. "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" only has one answer and it's an exasperated shrug.

Worth considering that one reason Bluesky doesn't always feel super fun is that current events are relentlessly horrifying and bad

i know it’s completely up to me to save the world and i have been slacking but trust me i’ve been beating myself up about it every single minute

President Trump’s federal agents are now chasing migrant farm workers through fields — and circling them with a CBP chopper normally used to track smuggling at the border — in the heart of the nation’s agricultural economy. here’s my report from Ventura County, California.

One really fucked up thing they don't tell you about being married is that sometimes your spouse goes to work >:(

"...for being on 36th street."

This crosswalk was worn to the cobblestone. It was there so long the crosswalk was eventually painted over the stones. I don't know how many years it was like that. Pre-pandemic at least. It's been filled. End of an era. Now we just need to get the crosswalk repainted and the cycle can begin anew.

Find a protest and go to it. Make some new friends. We're gonna need em.

NEW: As the fifth day of LA anti ICE protests continues, police appear to have surrounded and kenneled a number of protestors in downtown, per ABC7 Helicopter.

a lot of bus stops in SF are literally just a pole you have to stand next to, but today some guerilla-installed benches suddenly appeared diy cozy architecture >>>>>
