I see a spark upon the edge of sunset and the twilight wedge That bears the wishes that we make: the first star in the sky. Though #single in the firmament, her burden's hardly evident. For sisters to her cause shall wake and, twinkling, they will rise. #vss365

ATTN: If you’re a member of the National Guard or you work for ICE and you’re asked to violate the law or your oath, contact Whistleblower Aid to safely, securely, and legally blow the whistle. You can support Whistleblower Aid HERE: whistlebloweraid.org/beans

Overreach by ICE risks impeding the legitimate functions of our government--including actual law enforcement. Unintentional? Perhaps, but likely not an unwelcome side effect for the regime. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Trump is counting on cowardly law firms that surrendered to him to provide pro bono representation of crooked cops. Justice, Republican style.

I have said this before, but I need to repeat it. My father led a riot squad of Highway Patrolmen at Kent State. They were all trained in crowd control and while the riot continued, the crowd was contained, dispersed then would regroup, but no one was injured for 24 hours.

Good 🧵 here, watching what's going on in California. "Flooding the zone" works when it is cheap. Make every indignity cost them a little something, and that adds up! Not saying shitposting will save democracy, but…

If you survive, put some music on. Let the ghosts rattle the #speaker while the bones below groan our history and the mountains murmur in their sleep. #vss365

Better safe than sorry… 🚨Heavy ICE Presence Expected in Los Angeles on Sunday. A bilingual warning is being shared with the community — including areas to avoid. Stay alert. Protect each other. Know your rights.

*looks at feed* *grumbles* *looks up whether violations of the Posse Comitatus Act are pardonable by the President*

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

WSJ reports on decades-long Pentagon disinformation campaign to propagate UFO myths "based on interviews with two dozen current and former U.S. officials, scientists and military contractors involved in the inquiry, as well as thousands of pages of documents, recordings, emails and text messages."

This #Caturday, it is so hot that the Local Void is melting…

The hard little eyes of the machines were somethings were cold and unthinking and did not see me even as they bulged like mushrooms after rain in windows and doors and bulletproofed breasts. Today a familiar prickle kisses my neck. Through the lenses— all the lenses— #someone gazes back. #vss365

ABC reports Kilmar Abrego Garcia is being returned to the United States abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl...

Twitter: this is how men with huge balls fight. This is what masculinity looks like Bluesky: this is the first messy breakup of pride month

Did they hear it in Taos the approaching hum of a modern world? Strangers to silence, if by chance the mindless drum was to #stop Would we fear it, as promised, the pulsing thrum of a human heart? #vss365

McSweeney's: New York Times’ Style Guide Substitutions for "The President Violated the Constitution" www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/new...

NEW: Judge Xinis allows Kilmar Abrego Garcia's lawyers to seek sanctions relating to discovery that had been ordered. On Tuesday, the parties filed a sealed motion (177) that included copies of what was turned over and the sanctions request. This was explained in a side-filing (178, posted here).

There: in the shadow of a crack in pale pavement. A lone blade turns aside concrete. Argent, a dagger vert: undaunted, it presses the battle. It does not know the war is lost. The trees will not return. But somehow, it knows it is #spring. #vss365

Judge Boasberg has been trying to see justice through despite the regime throwing every roadblock in his path—any one of which would be grounds for contempt in normal times. Dreading a retaliatory EO from 47 or an intervention from the SC. Ugh.

OH MY FUCKING GOOOODDDDDDDDD MATSUNO YOU ARE THE ETERNAL GOAT

BREAKING: Judge Boasberg GRANTS class certification for the people held at CECOT and gives the government ONE WEEK to explain how they're going to facilitate due process for EVERYONE sent there under the Alien Enemies Act. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“i hope this helps”

We sailed for the passage Pursuit close behind, The #strait hewn of chalk Channeled treacherous tides. Within, our foe anchored concealed by the night. There was no retreat, but no strength left to fight. Below, deepest water. Above, endless sky. I chose to dive: You promised to fly. #vss365

ICE dressed up like utility workers who offer "free estimates" if invited inside. Neighbor recorded the ICE goons and intervened, just before a young boy let them into his home. Tucson Electric Power was not told ICE agents would be impersonating their utility workers as part of the ICE raid.

NEW: Attorneys for MyPillow Guy Mike Lindell said in opening statements at his defamation trial in Denver that they won’t present evidence of his claim that the 2020 election was rigged. “It’s just words. All Mike Lindell did was talk,” said Lindell’s attorney. #copolitics

Political marketing opportunity available, if a particular fast food chain is brave enough.

A #splinter earned by holding too long to things as they shattered. It aches, I ache: We remember. #vss365

I didn't see you shining then, there beside me on the roof at dawn; But perhaps the #sunbeam did, having travelled millions of airless miles just to touch your face. #vss365

This is happening all around the country, not just in Arizona. But the Health Department isn't telling us anymore. RFK halted the bird flu vaccine work. So let's see how this works out 😑

Many others are posting abt this too but this graphic viscerally shows how dire the presidential budget is for NASA 🔭🧪and worldwide astronomy. I can’t express how sad this makes me, as an American scientist. And it’s mostly already paid for projects, so also no logic in terms of saving money.

Just the No Lives Matter Party taking the mask off again. If you want a representative who'll fight for you instead of turning your suffering into a joke, look elsewhere.

Look what we found! github.com/irs-public/d...

Happy 8th bday, covfefe 🤡

BREAKING: The president's budget request just hit Congress, which could usher in a dark age for NASA space science. Congress has the final say, but you can help shape the outcome by adding your name to our global petition. This is just the start of our fight. Sign the petition: planet.ly/petition

This is a good mix to keep around in case you need to cook for a crowd some weekend and forgot until Saturday morning. (Making enchiladas. No reason.) Do check their other offers, and in case their position isn't entirely clear: www.penzeys.com/shop/about-r... #Resist, and eat well.

Stars and garters! ICE believes the truth is out there, and are inclined to probe further. I'm sure there are some #armchairactivists who've had unfortunate encounters with aliens. If so...

Kings BAFFLED by this SECRET CHORD!

What word is truly #final when neglect may wash it clean? When strange eyes trace that palimpsest (A glyph, a scratch, an enigma) They must define it anew. #vss365

It is #Caturday, and the Office Manager insists the moth is somewhere in this room. Please let me sleep in, sir!

GOP Sen. Joni Ernst responds to voters saying that cutting Medicaid will kill them: “Well, we all are going to die.”

"Extremely nearsighted" is apparently the technical term for this mad, fuzzy erg— Not heat-seeking, but chasing a #vision of the laughing, fat-bellied moth he has never seen, and certainly will never taste. #vss365

Administration seems to have capitulated in case of deportee mistakenly sent to Mexico. The judge was apoplectic. Administration had no room to move, but could have outright disobeyed. It now says sending a plane to bring him back to get to due process. I’m posting a YouTube in a few minutes.

The ocean is patient and eager to share #Brine on your lips from a faraway quarry. The wave on your ankles that tells it will bury Your bones and your fame with the greatest of care: An invite, a promise to guard your remains. The ocean is patient, for you'll come again. #vss365
