I attended the No Kings event in Pasadena, a mid sized city northeast of L.A. You may have seen it on TV on January 1 (the famous Rose Parade). Locals already distinguished themselves by chasing ICE out of the hotels where they were staying here. #NoKings Here's a thread of great signs and stuff.

Many wonderful photos from today’s Pride and No Kings events, but this photo of @pressley.house.gov at Boston Pride may be my absolute favorite

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

Seeing the NYT talk about its reporter embedding with ICE makes me uncomfortable. You simply aren't doing unbiased journalism if you've accepted the parameters for doing that, and it's no different than embedding with an organized crime ring.

When I first joined Bluesky I tried to make a list of Iran specialists, all of the people on this list are worth a follow bsky.app/profile/did:...

Any person, not any “citizen.”

Go, go gadget science goo! Second shingles vaccine shot doing its thing. And given that it may prevent me from joining any #NoKings protests, it's a good time to share @prisonculture.bsky.social's PHENOMENAL list of actions that are not protesting or voting: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

every time I have said this on here I have had people [usually the same ones who cite Chenoweth's 3.5% statistic (which she points out isn't to be interpreted in the way many people interpret it)] screaming that this isn't true. It isn't true 2 them because it doesn't FEEL like people are protesting

i feel it is worth pointing out that Christians United For Israel, a single maniacal christian zionist organization, has more members than there are jews in the united states

How did I not know about the Episcopal Street Action Handbook? (reminds me of my Action Medical and Ruckus Society trainings in the early 2000s ❤️) Download here: www.episcopalchurch.org/wp-content/u...

thank goodness this was a really alarming provision I explained a couple weeks ago that would have in effect rendered court orders unenforceable, unless plaintiffs fork over a bunch of cash upfront ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

FYI, you don't fight fascism by spending billions in local tax dollars on US police departments that are full of fascist police officers. Actual opposition to fascism requires a reckoning with the police state that both parties have actively built for the last 50 years.

it actively makes me feel a bit insane that nobody's really acknowledging that the ICE thing is just slaver raids

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf

As things ramp up, people may begin to have such issues as anxiety, depression, ideation and more. The link below lists resources that do not call police.

and no one ever talks about him again

Last week we hosted a live show on AI and warfare, going deep on the use of AI in Gaza, and it's now live on our Computer Says Maybe feed. Exceptional group of guests: @marwasf.bsky.social, @docmattmoudi.bsky.social, Karen Palacio (aka kardaver), and Wanda Muñoz. Essential if difficult listening.

It's a truly jarring split screen that Kristi Noem's goons attacking Sen Padilla happened at almost the exact same time as 16 Dem senators crossed lines to vote with the GOP to invoke cloture on the crypto bill, forfeiting any leverage. Dems need to act like an opposition.

I want to point out that they had forced Senator Padilla to his knees with one hand behind his back, where I figured he'd be cuffed. But it wasn't enough. They wanted him forced to the floor. They wanted him physically harmed. They wanted a display of humiliation for the cameras.

I don't exactly want to admit how much time I spent updating and reformatting this list yesterday. But I think we can all agree that it was totally worth it. consequence.net/list/dragons...

Honored to be included in this @teenvogue.com piece that includes insights from @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social, adrienne maree brown, @deanspade.bsky.social, and Vicky Osterweil about how to keep going under the strain of a second Trump administration.

Nine years ago, a gunman tore through my neighborhood bar, Pulse Nightclub, and stole 49 people from us. I was lucky to make it out alive, but my best friends Drew & Juan never made it home to say goodbye. Nine years, but it hurts like yesterday. Please #HonorThemWithAction .

I saw a "why should Black people care about ICE?" post on IG and I'm just floored just how much Black immigrants are rendered invisible while facing higher detention and deportation rates.

This is very cool

@bettytheteapot.bsky.social @feklar42.bsky.social I believe today might be Thursday

Whatever your personal beliefs on Assisted Dying, we should all be able to agree on 2 fundamentals: No means no. If a patient doesn’t want it, end of discussion. It should never be offered in lieu of care or social supports. If it is, it’s not compassion. It’s eugenics 🧵

It is very difficult to believe that Los Angeles’ political leadership—or California’s governor or other state officials—truly wish for ICE raids to end when they are willing to arrest the only people who are actually standing in ICE’s way. https://trib.al/35MdEc2

This seems like a great day to remind Bluesky that Stephen Miller lived four doors down from me freshman year And our student council person asked him (and everyone) to sign a birthday card for our dorm’s janitor And he threw a tantrum and wrote an op-ed about not socializing with “the help.”
