Many of my actions are also legal. Most, even.

The scale of the rally in Portland is MASSIVE. Simultaneously crossing the Morrison and Hawthorne Bridges in one long parade of democracy. Tens of thousands of people. #NoKings

Great turnout at Lincoln City No Kings rally, especially considering my small county of ~40K had NK rallies in at least two other towns at the same time. Went full @fwmj.bsky.social clothing, seemed appropriate. 😄

NEW: 12 masked armed men try to enter a homeless shelter without saying who they are. ICE agents park outside an elementary school, sparking fear and a car accident. Local police respond to a call about a possible assault, only to find ICE. Inside one day on LI: theintercept.com/2025/06/13/i...

such a maddening world we live in. protesting gets your head cracked and/or prosecuted while open fraudsters get pardoned. immigration sweeps and mass deportations but US citizenship is on sale retail for $5M a pop. things apparently do not collapse under the weight of their own contradictions

“She literally had to choose: physical harm or potential [ICE] custody.”

My royal we is raising questions already answered by my royal we.

There's no word to describe physically assaulting a US Senator for attending a press conference and asking a question other than authoritarianism.

wow I wonder if the cops who lied about the sitting senator even though everything they did was on tape are also being less than honest about the presence of violent agitators at the protests in los angeles. they might even not have told the entire truth about other protests

She is saying, in effect: "We are going to liberate the city from its democratically elected leadership using the military"

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

This should go over well. 🎁: wapo.st/43DKuRC

Twitter is currently running ads for *checks tweet* pedophiles

of every terrible thing about this moment in LA i fear the one with the most irritating repercussions will be the fact that newsom is getting his little giuliani moment out of it

For decades, Sec. Kennedy has spread lies about vaccines. Now, his misinformation will lead to preventable illness & death. Firing independent experts is a dangerous move that makes it harder for Americans to access vaccines that are safe, effective & essential to saving lives.

Sending in the National Guard was ridiculous. Deploying Marines is not only illegal, it's insane. 🎁: Live Updates: Trump Sends Marines to L.A. on 4th Day of Immigration Protests www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

We can’t talk about the protests in LA against mass deportation and President Trump itching to send in the military without a quick reminder that we all knew: talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

It's far down on the list of why TERFs and their ilk are bad and wrong, but their dismissal of how cool and weird biology is never ceases to annoy me. Anyways, fun new fish science! www.earth.com/news/sex-cha...

They will always call us violent when we stop cooperating with our own oppression. From Let This Radicalize You by Kelly Hayes & Mariame Kaba — a reminder for our comrades in Los Angeles and everywhere else: "peace" under capitalism means obedience, not justice.

she’s like 15 feet away. absolutely that man’s whole thought process was: “I’m gonna shoot that woman”

I know the people of Bluesky will be totally normal about this, but I have to say it: if you're out protesting and see an ICE agent, scream at them as you please If you're in front of a tired National Guardsman who did not sign up for this, please don't be verbally abusive. We need them on our side

Here, I made a helpful graph to assist with “Cities are where very, very large numbers of Americans live” discourse, with real Census data and everything.

"I told a stranger on the internet to stop doing what she wanted to do with her own hair. People told me I was wrong so I went on a rage about how mean everyone was being to me, the innocent instigator. Then I attacked all blondes, queers, and Californians (????) to further prove my righteousness. "

It’s obvious but worth drawing out what raids of Home Depot’s of all places is about. It’s rounding up people who are really eager for work and for whom there is work, peoples whose labor is in demand. We know this but shows just how far it is from rounding up just the bad guys.

One of the reasons I think “defund the police” is a great slogan is that you get to repeatedly tell people that studies show that police don’t actually solve murders, and in fact one-third of stranger-murders are committed by police.

So much going on right now, it's easy to forget that the administration is continuing to decimate our federal agencies, workforce, and research... youtu.be/SoCzSjiO8vA

And the other half is a rabid oligarch owned media industry relentlessly broadcasting christofascist propaganda talking points masquerading as news

fyi, arguing that dems shouldn’t outwardly support trans folks because you don’t think it’s a popular message is an argument that is aligned with fascism, and that doesn’t change just because you voted for Harris also you’re a bad person

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

You fools. You’ve chosen to attack the one spot where he’s completely invincible

NEW — I wrote a guide to the upcoming NYC Democratic mayoral primary for both locals and outsiders to understand wtf is going on, including my recommended ranking order + other helpful resources. Read and share:

Excellent. Succinct. Pulls no punches. New York: please give us something to celebrate with this primary, and in the general election. Please don’t make us hold our noses…again.
