Looked out to check on the concrete pour just in time to see the guy in charge shoot a snot rocket into my grass. 🤢

Defund and then abolish the police. Start in Los Angeles. WTF.

I wonder if he was trying to hit the camera operator but missed. I think that's just as bad or worse, to be clear.

"Though tear gas was classified as a chemical weapon in 1993 and banned from use in international warfare, law enforcement officers are still allowed to use it on civilians in the United States."

Sometimes I check on cleaning tips Bluesky. I call that broomscrolling.

Wow. You can literally see the cop turn, aim directly at her, and fire

Spent the better part of the day doing charity walk activities with @vrkd.bsky.social and friends. Napped! Grateful for another mostly cloudy day since humidity was gross but I did carry sunscreen JIC. ⛅

one of the moments I remember the most from the Louisville Breonna Taylor protests was looking up to see a police sniper on top of a building because we were peacefully protesting the LMPD breaking into an innocent woman's home and murdering her. That was too Radical

How many immigrants & refugees would have stayed in their homelands if Western countries had not colonized them to begin with, continued to exploit them for natural resources & contributed to their destabilization?

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

All of the talk about "peaceful protest" makes me think of all the times I have been part of a protest where the police cracked someone over the head and then charged that person with assault. They will call you violent. You can't control that or other people.

THINGS THAT DON'T HAVE ANY IMPACT WHATSOEVER: -Social media debates about "how to protest" THINGS THAT HELP QUITE A BIT: -Actually protesting -Supporting protestors (re: safety, supplies, etc.) -Sharing news about actions/how to help -Building stronger community support networks

the literal mascot of the whole country is the statue who greets immigrants

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

The "locations where protests against these functions are occurring or are likely to occur based on current threat assessments and planned operations" is jumping out at me.

Advice wanted from music people: if you were going to get one more album to round out a David Johansen collection, what would it be? It’s a gift for someone who’s a fan but somehow doesn’t have any albums

The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets. These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.

Easy morning, mid-day phone call, and an afternoon out in the yard. Trimmed limbs with The Huz, handled the brush, and then did some weeding and planting in the pollinator garden. Chatted with the gardener. Grateful for no sun because I would've roasted instead of just literally dripping sweat. ☁️

Well, I hope all the people who hated the phrase defund the police are big fans of getting teargassed

TSA urges people to stop trying to use a Costco card as a sufficient REAL ID

And thanks to a generation of reactionary centrists, feckless Dems, autocratic GOPers, and a TV culture of non-stop crime shows and bleeds-it-leads news, we spent TWENTY-FIVE YEARS of declining and low crime rates building out that police-state style police system at EVERY level of government.

@k8lister.bsky.social I listened to the Minotaur episode yesterday and then today I see this. I don't remember if you discussed whether Minotaur wore trousers...? These gals have their bits covered up.

Reverse mermaids! WHAT.

@graylola.bsky.social This recipe looks like something you might be into.

"If you can’t buy patterns and you can’t buy materials, then making your own clothes is impossible. Maybe that’s the point." 😞

LOL @ Indiana.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court allows DOGE team to access Social Security systems with personal data on millions of Americans for now.

Popped outside several times to see progress on the concrete pour. Went for a walk with The Huz before dinner. Came home to the gardener planting in the rain and chatted with her. Happy for conditioned air because it is HUMID. ⛅🌧️

I know this is likely a long shot, but is anyone in the greater #portland metro area looking to adopt, or know anyone who is looking to adopt, a #cat or #kittens?

Chefs will go on all about plating and beautiful food, but I’m here to say that some of the best food looks basically like various colors of slop that tastes *transcendent*
