Pretty sure the lack of insulation in like half my downstairs is eating all of the cold air my AC produces Which is super since tomorrow and Monday are supposed to be even hotter

There is no bigger story right now than the White House asserting that California residents are in a state "of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States."

Remember this iconic photo from Ferguson? This is Edward Crawford, throwing back a tear gas canister to protect some nearby kids. Like many identified Ferguson protesters and organizers, he was "found dead" a couple years later and neither the cops nor the media will ever investigate.

California representatives did a check in where migrants were being detained. They found no beds, no food and no water. Children were among the detained.

Law enforcement across the nation must pick a side. They are either for protecting their communities or they are for ICE who terrorizes their communities. There is no gray area on this.

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

A small cleanse: this dog is freshly cleaned and toasty

I hope tonight doesn’t go the way I think it might.

Hell of a photo

if you're near areas where tear gas is being used and you don't want a sudden miscarriage or early menstruation I highly recommend getting as far away as possible. you don't even have to be at the site, you could be at home blocks away and still be affected pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

If you are arrested during a protest or action against ICE or CPD in Chicago, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. (This is an offer for criminal defense; I unfortunately don't do immigration law.)

This is @melbuer.bsky.social on Sean’s account, posting here since it’s his video: the moment that Sean and @ryannemena.bsky.social were injured by what may have been a tear gas canister fired from a line of HSI officers in Paramount, CA.

Some of you right now: I gotta track down the skater kid for journalism! No you don’t.

Tear gas is a chemical weapon and an abortifacient banned by the Geneva Protocol. If soldiers used it against armed combatants, they could be prosecuted for war crimes. www.scientificamerican.com/article/poli... (from 2022)

Los Angeles: if you get tear gas or see other people who have been and someone calling themselves a medic tries to use milk to wash their eyes out SLAP THAT MILK JUG OUT THEIR FUCKING HAND. MILK DOES NOT WASH OUT TEAR GAS. Just use bottled water please.

They'd really love to pull the trigger on the insurrection act but I don't think it works out the way they think it does

I have some Apprehension about what is gonna go down when they try to pull this shit in Seattle

Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.

Timely reminder that the treatment for chemical weapons like tear gas and pepper spray is: 1) remove from active contamination (get them out of the cloud of teargas, remove outer layers of clothing if possible) 2) flush eyes with ONLY clean water. Wash skin and hair with water and soap.

Since yesterday, immigration and other law enforcement have inflicted terror and chaos on residents of LA. The leader of California's largest union was among those arrested for protesting ICE's cruelty. Congress must hold President Trump accountable and stop him from terrorizing our communities.

ICE vans ran through a crowd of anti-ICE protesters in Paramount, CA, at least two with extreme injuries, per @acatwithnews.bsky.social A major fire is burning in the middle of the street, per Sean.

Once again my egg allergy saves the day

I LOVE PBS AND NPR. Don’t let Congress vote to defund OUR public media next weeek. Speak out NOW. It is URGENT. Visit protectmypublicmedia.org #pbs #NPR #protectmypublicmedia #publicmedia

Can’t take Billie on her walk unless she has the bow on her collar

My smoke detector went off for no discernible reason at 6 am

solidarity with LA. fuck ICE.

Said “The mountain’s out!” on the phone with my mom today and her response to the explanation was that we are all “a little weird” up here.

So, apparently, the company that owns the Big 4 sewing pattern companies (and Perler fusible beads among other brands) just sold those assets to a liquidation company. Those are the last printers of tissue paper sewing patterns AFAIK. Kind of crazy. craftindustryalliance.org/parent-compa...

I am looking for freelance work! I specialize in editorials, book covers, and branding projects I've worked with the NYT, Scientific American, HarperCollins, Macmillan, Penguin, and more and would love to work with your organization too 🪴[email protected] 🪴samanthamash.com

I’m paying for my own hair again so I am attempting to go back to the Vibe today…. Stay tuned

If you’re gonna lie and say your pet is a service dog you should probably… train it to at least behave like a working dog

This has to be one of the most obliviously disastrous policy proposals since the Iraq War. It’s almost guaranteeing that crypto causes a financial crisis and then taxpayers bail out crypto companies. Crypto is just an elaborate scam—and this is its ultimate heist.

This sucks. Digital sewing patterns are nice but a huge pain in the ass to print out, tape together, and cut, and I find that the quality of the instructions vary WIDELY (some are really not good). Resources like this that I wrote about previously are so important: www.theverge.com/23169321/com...

It’s passport day AND more work on the water damage day AND hair appointment day Send me strength

AOC: The girls are fighting aren’t they

Decided we need a much more industrial vibe in these parts (they tore out all the water damaged shit) (there’s also more around the corner)

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!
