Of all the days you decide to act up, head, of COURSE you pick today. 🫩

stay safe out there today y’all, wear a mask

Just a friendly reminder that you can make protest signs without using ableist language. Ok bye

Lawyer, here. Habeas corpus (pls Google it) applies to every human on U.S. soil, regardless of citizenship. Put plainly, habeas corpus has been eliminated, for all practical purposes. I’ve personally spoken to many who’ve been arrested/caged, 100% unaware of what law they’re thought to’ve broken.🇺🇸

It has been a public health failure that the public does not realize how much organ damage COVID infection can cause to things that aren’t your lungs (or throat or nose or taste buds)

Spent a big chunk of the evening just sitting in the living room with Husband listening to classic golden oldies. The first rock 'n' roll oldies. Lots of Beach Boys, some Jan and Dean, and several large handfuls of assorted favorites like "The Wanderer", "Blue Moon", "At The Hop", etc... 💖

Did cancer write this

I don't know about you, but I am not enjoying living a verse of "We Didn't Start the Fire" every day.

This ICE agent tells an immigration attorney of her three clients: "I'm not picky so I'm giving you the options cause I have to take one. If not I'll take all." He is quite literally saying that ICE is simply deporting people at random to meet a quota. www.instagram.com/reel/DKzbcQe...

I’ve seen a lot of hand wringing about the dangers of going to No Kings protests and gently, I want to tell people to chill a little. These are permitted marches and the point is to be out there and seen en masse. Please don’t scare off people who are maybe going to their very first protest

In honor of Brian Wilson's passing, here are the four categories of Beach Boys songs: 1. surfing is great, you should try it 2. I have a good vehicle 3. I reach beyond myself into the ineffable, and that's where I find you, my love 4. sloop john b

Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do. So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.

Excited to see that black people performing country music are only eligible for 3/5ths of a Grammy

I have to leave the house today and I'd really rather just remain a hermit in my cave.

Legal question: If Trump's call-up of the National Guard was illegal, then what authority did (and does) the National Guard have on the streets of LA, where they brutalized and injured dozens of protesters.

For some completely inexplicable reason I suddenly got the urge to play that game where you can crush the god of tyranny in act 3. So I started that again today.

Please don't share the "sit-down wave" stuff. It's genuinely harmful and has the potential to get people seriously injured or killed.

Part of what it looks like to *save ourselves* is for folks to take over our library, park, water and other local boards. Get leftists on there who can make decisions that benefit the working class. We can do that because few people actually pay attention to those levers of power.

I want to talk about how the media is going to be responsible for increasing levels of violence. Here's the thing: the protests have been peaceful.

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.

As a result of the war on migrants, I’m hearing that nearly 500 international medical graduates who are supposed to start their medical residencies on July 1st won’t be able to due to the J-1 visa pause. That’s a massive number and will severely impact medical training programs across the country.🤦🏻‍♀️

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

I have actually liberated several cities. This is essentially a declaration of war.

So ICE is now more powerful than a sitting US senator? I hope every democrat congressperson stands up for their colleague and demands accountability for what happened to Alex Padilla. They won’t but I wish they would.

I like this place, And willingly could waste my time in it.

ICE just kidnapped a friend in Hampton Roads, Virginia. A naturalized citizen, in front of his wife and one month old infant. Fuck this Gestapo bullshit.

I had extremely active and weird dreams last night. Somehow five people sneaking together worked better than when I was trying to sneak somewhere by myself? The whole dream had a very D&D adventure feel to it despite taking place in the weirdo modern dream world where most of my dreams happen. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Everyone I knew who covered disinformation got laid off, their bosses got bullied into firing them, or they changed their beats from actual Nazi harassment campaigns. It cannot be stressed the damage the paid-for Substack “free speech” guys did in the service of fascism and against real free speech.

The “immigrants are violent” rhetoric is BIPARTISAN ‘Gov. Kathy Hochul’s statement to a congressional committee on Thursday will tout what she contends is New York’s commitment to assisting U.S. immigration and Border Patrol agencies in “cracking down on gang members and violent criminals,”’
