I'll be organizing a book drive for Bluestockings bookstore this summer. My goal is to collect 2500 books. If anyone would like to help me, please let me know. I need social media graphics and a couple of printable fliers that can be posted across NYC. Thank you.

New thread: there is a press conference regarding the arrest here in East Los Angeles at Ruben Salazar Park. A few dozen, but noticeably growing in size. Also quick fact check: the authorities were with Homeland Security per HS social media.

ICE agents pulled this guy out of his car and beat the shit out of him, putting him in the E.R. Then they pulled him out of the hospital saying he was a "violent gang member." (He's a Doordash driver with only a traffic ticket on his record.) Now he's just...gone. What a nightmare.

I say all these Los Angeles protesters should get the exact same treatment as The Proud Boys (presidential pardons and multi-million dollar settlements from the taxpayers)

“IF THEY SPIT, WE WILL HIT, and I promise you they will be hit harder than they have ever been hit before. Such disrespect will not be tolerated!”—trump. Yet he pardoned more the 1500 violent criminals who attacked me and my colleagues.

There's a No Kings rally on Shaw Island, WA, the tiniest of the San Juan Islands. It has a year-round population of just 188 folks.

1) primaries are good. The Democratic Party has not been up to the challenge of the moment. You can tell because a lot of them are insisting the party needs to change. We should be primarying many, many people. 2) It's both very predictable and quite reasonable the DNC wouldn't want a senior...

It’s funny because “Twitter isn’t real life” was the mantra for the “Bluesky is a bubble crowd” now while leading figures in the conservative movement are bragging about being able to spin dis/misinformation at will on a site owned by an open supporter of the President.

I just added this contact to my phone, and urge everyone else to consider doing the same! Better to know you have the means to take action if needed than to be texting friends to ask what you should do!

There are now more than 2000 #NoKings events scheduled for all 50 states, DC, Puerto Rico, Guam and about a dozen foreign countries. RSVPs are skyrocketing, which is particularly worth noting because a lot of people are very understandably dead set against RSVPing. We will not back down.

When the president spoke at Fort Bragg, the soldiers behind him were reportedly chosen for their looks and politics, per Military.com, which reviewed event prep orders. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Reminder that in addition to the obvious respiratory issues, which are also very serious, teargas is an abortifacient and there is minimal research on the subject and the effects these chemical weapons have on our bodies.

Ways to support LA remotely, now supplemented with an email tool from the @aclu.org, messaging guidance from @anatosaurus.bsky.social, a social media toolkit from @demcast.com and *sigh* polling data to cite with the wussier of pols.

I enjoy how Americans will post an image of a man bravely standing in front of a tank at Tiananmen every year to commemorate the wickedness of violence against protestors and then see a protester get trampled by a cop on horseback on CNN in LA and say “well what did he do wrong to deserve that?”
