Well this is just fucking beautiful...

Ah, Brooklyn

If you take one thing away from today, let it be that we outnumber them.

Damn! So hard to have a sense of size when you're in it

The Gang bows to no one... #NoKings Philly

So this week we’ve had a man impersonating an ICE agent tie up a woman and steal $1000; a man impersonating a police officer assassinate a top Democratic politician & her husband (and shoot another Democrat & his wife); and a man impersonating a king hold a military parade for his birthday

#NoKings Philly

Philly says #NoKings

Oh this is truly inspired. Bravo.

Authoritarians want you to feel isolated and alone, to feel like their vision of the world is the only one. That’s why taking part in public protests matters. You connect with other people like you and you show those numbers off to the world. It’s a great feeling. Try it!

I have a recurring nightmare in which I post dumb jokes to distract myself from the terror of being alive

Referring to events in Ballymena as "disturbances" is a euphemism too far. We are witnesses to a pogrom. And it behoves us to say so, loud and clear. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

If you can't attend the rallies today for whatever reasons, something useful you can do is scour your local news outlets for coverage and share the coverage on social media and pump it out to all of your networks. Amplify what's happening locally so others in your communities are aware.

I no longer view the crisis before us as a GOP vs. Democrat issue, and I haven't for a long time. This is a profound issue of choosing to fight supremacist politics, of necropolitics-- of whether you believe it's worth protecting people's right to live with a measure of dignity and respect, period

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

How do people have the brainspace for this? If you don't like a platform, leave it. If enough people agree with you, it will die (remember Circles? neither do I). If it continues it just wasn't for you but it IS for the people who stayed. Everybody wins!

Oh man, she conjures up so many warm memories of adolescence for me. Fuck cancer and fuck people who lie about cures for cancer...

i am not being pollyannish when i insist that the people who sign up do not sign up to advance a president’s domestic political agenda www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Feels kinda important to point out that if non-citizens are required to carry proof of legal status, then citizens do too by default. This is absolutely insane.

It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.

I'm sure this is a much bigger issue for large accounts but anyone coming at me or anyone else with bad faith, misinformation, or nasty/cruel comments is instantly blocked. As a result I see a range of center-left to left opinions and mostly civil disagreements.

the scientific consensus is not in favor of scientific racism. quite the opposite. the people who promote scientific racism use pseudoscience and rhetorical fudging - "we all know what the numbers REALLY say" - to win support from innumerate amateurs who are impressed with their own intelligence.

ngl this map of scheduled protests for this weekend is *wild*

"At its heart the Trump Administration is violently divisive, isolationist, and segregationist, and solidarity is our first duty and most profound rejection of that agenda." for this insight, Solnit has been suspended from fb www.meditationsinanemergency.com/some-notes-o...

Well this is nice.

Born in the 20th century. Looks like I'll die in the 16th.

You have no obligation to defend or explain the behavior of random street protesters. We have a lawless government that is flagrantly violating its legal, moral, even philosophical obligations to us. Everything else is secondary

Real power isn't staged in DC — it rises up everywhere else. Join me on No Kings Day to stand together against cruelty, corruption, and authoritarianism. app.sosha.ai/s/q4qBtPqC

please be safe, No Kings marchers. we protect us. Fuck Nazis.

Posting this 1967 Birmingham News editorial cartoon for all the people who don't realize that this is how MLK was viewed by a big chunk of white America.

Local police protecting families from federal agents sure feels like the beginning of the end

Thinking about how our framing of democracy and voting are fucking us over. The idea of your vote as a prize that politicians/parties are competing to win, that it is acceptable for voters to sit home and pout because they were not properly catered to is a complete abdication of civic responsibility

🚨 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

BREAKING: LA solidarity protesters in Austin are occupying JJ Pickle Federal Building, which houses local ICE processing center

if any crave redress of injustice, they should exhibit their petitions in the street

Stancil is clearly in the right here

Avoid the violence/nonviolence debate. It’s a trap. The only thing that matters is what actions lead to more justice and less harm. Inaction and complicity in the face of brutal oppression is the worst form of violence. Never forget it.

Is there an anthropologist who can explain how Dick Cavett got a show?

New in PN: ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller "Miller and Trump are hateful bigots. Independent journalists can still say that. Journalists at ABC can’t, because the president gets a veto over their coverage. That’s not democracy and it’s not a free press. It’s fascism."

A test run or just a terror tactic? There's no elementary school that will allow a man with no connection to a student and no ID abduct kids and even these dum-dums must know that. But the fear that administrators, parents and kids will feel in the wake of this will be overwhelming.

ChatGPT is down but The Museum of English Rural Life still stands, proving once again that Silicon Valley cannot compete with the history of rural England and its people.
