FBI arresting a judge ICE going to military bases and deporting spouses of active military members This is happening. Now. Fight back. Protect yourself. Protect your community.

Kind of awkward to drive through 2 other lane closure construction sites on my way to my own lane closure tree work site.

Oh...

Anarchist Turtle got hit with a ban, then Bluesky goes out completely. We're using "JD Vance killed the Pope" logic here and deciding that Turtle is a load-bearing Bluesky account.

@theanarchistturtle.bsky.social 🚨 received a suspension for sharing the publicly available information of an ICE agent involved in the harassment and kidnapping of community members. Bluesky is apparently running cover for these agents.

Someone throw a dictionary at Bluesky because they are making up their own definitions of words over here.

Yo some kid just gave me a bracelet on their way to school this morning. Obviously I have to guard it with my life now.

If you let your dog off-leash in a park that isn't a dog park, and is also frequented by children almost all day, you are a bad person and I question your ability to reliably function in society.

The Theory crew is really falling off lately over on Youtube

I'd say this is like 2008, but from my understanding 2008 was the economic equivalent of, like, going around a curb and hitting a pothole you couldn't see. This feels more like turning the wrong way down a one-way street when driving home from the bar.

"The top ~2% largest trees account for 75% of the live tree carbon storage in the western US. This result suggests the importance of maintaining large-diameter trees in order to mitigate climate change." But Trump's recent EO plans to send them to sawmills. 🌏 www.pnas.org/doi/epub/10....

I finally tried a Schwabish today after climbing on a Blake's Hitch for literally years now. Faster going up the tree, but more friction on the rope. Better overall, but rougher on the hands.

Too much happening for social media right now. Gonna go start a journal that remains incomplete for 200 years until a random archeologist digs it up and loses an afternoon reading about the life of a municipal arborist during the Second Great Depression

Recently helped set up a fund for my friend @dexterbones.bsky.social who is currently looking for help in relocating to safety away from an abusive father. The goal is $3,000, but anything (even just a share) would go a long way. You can read more at: spot.fund/HelpDexGetBa...

just walk out of a high security prison and get an uber

Just misspelled my own first name on my morning paperwork. How's your day going?

Wonder why that is

Immigration enforcement can take you away, even if you're a US citizen. This breaks a social contract and de-legitimizes the authority of immigration enforcement. Therefore any immigration enforcement actions should be seen as an adversary. Protect yourself. Protect your community.

University Staff: "Tree went boom, huh?" Me: "Yeah. They do that sometimes.

What are SCOTUS and/or Congress gonna do about it? /genq

They've been busy testing waters. And idk if government institutions are gonna *survive* the test, let alone pass it.

Abolishing C̶a̶p̶i̶t̶a̶l̶i̶s̶m̶ - PRISONS is self-preservation

Don't remove load-bearing walls. Or load-bearing code.

I WILL continue to cover ICE. It's necessary to protect the vulnerable. The president has threatened to deport US citizens. This is not a fucking game. Protecting our communities is non-negotiable.

Accidently stumbled into a heated debate on Reddit. Backed out of there real quick. I ain't got coping mechanisms for Reddit armchair politiciams.

I have seen far more posts about the Harry Potter author than I care to right now. But uh... if you're still an HP fan and an adult, you should probably stop that and diversify your interests. Oh, you wanna be a bigoted transphobic fascist? Then not so kindly go fuck off.

This is a dizzying realization. I always thought it had to do with just comfort. "I'm comfortable here because I've been here so long and don't want to leave" Never thought it was "I can't leave without losing nearly all my support" Doesn't make any of it better, or excusable.

Made a passing joke to my boss, and now I'm staring at an accelerated career change (complimentary) The joke allowed my boss to spill the beans about another department, and the new job openings over there.

Feeling poetic tonight. Might post some on-the-fly poetry later.

Vented my frustrations out to my partner. She doesn't follow news closely, but she knew about Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I feel better now.

$227k per year to make everywhere he goes more hostile than it ever needed to be

Even if people did, the next administration would just continue most of what he’s doing now. Everything Trump is doing or proposing right now has been done before at some point in America’s history. Tariffs, Mass Renditions, Death Camps, ignoring the courts. There’s precedent for all of this.

Man films and confronts two suspected undercover ICE officers (potentially NYPD) after they racially profiled and handcuffed a random civilian. Keep doing this shit. Make these fuckers famous. Make all police and immigration officers fear having their faces known to the masses.

Hello "We were just following orders" my old friend, We need you as a scapegoat again. Because of history repeating Neighbors disappearing while we're sleeping And the prisons in fascist brains Still remain With the screams Of silence
