“For it is not light that is needed, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake.” -Frederick Douglass: 'What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?' #PatriotsResist

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride. However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Yes, you did vote to deport moms.

@briankoppelman.bsky.social So curious—Steve Forbert’s ‘Romeo’s Tune’ fits so perfectly in the 500 Fights scene in Knockaround Guys, making it as iconic as ‘Stuck in the Middle With You’ in Reservoir Dogs or ‘In Your Eyes’ in Say Anything. Were any other songs in contention? TY

Remove the Olympics & World Cup from US, it is not safe for visitors. When you travel to the US you risk arbitrary arrest and abduction, random acts of extreme firearm violence and terrorism, unknown pathogens and disease, and discrimination or xenophobic attacks.

1/ I never took DHS's scary-sounding notice that I had 7 days to leave the country too seriously, because it was obviously some kind of mistake. But what about the people the emails were actually aimed at? Let's talk a bit about immigration "parole" and what Trump is doing here

Days after Anonymous put out an international travel warning urging all to avoid travel to the US, several countries including the UK, Denmark, and Germany have put out travel warnings to the United States due to the heightened danger towards foreign nationals by the Trump regime.

The best of my beautiful weekend in Guapimirim, RJ 🇧🇷

Pete Hegseth has gotten the Pentagon to scrub a photo of a B-29 Superfortress ‘The Enola Gay’ (named for the pilot's mother). It was the plane that dropped a nuclear bomb on Japan, but the pilot's mother's name was "Gay." We are not just a country being run by bigots, we are one run by stupid ones.

Marmosets and their infants are a common sight this time of year along the Forte Duque de Caxias hiking trail leading up to the historic fort. Marmosets are tiny at birth, usually weighing around 25 grams and they cling tightly to their mother or father for the first few weeks of life. #marmosets

With Carnaval just over a month away in Rio de Janeiro, samba bands and blocos are popping up all over the city. On the main street of Ipanema, one impromptu group of friends and coworkers came together to create an infectious vibe, entertaining crowds of passersby’s with spontaneous music & energy.

BERNARDO BRAGA and his 4-year-old Jack Russell Terrier, BENJI, making waves at Arpoador Beach. The surfing duo, who began catching waves together a year ago, has become a fixture along Rio’s iconic Ipanema Beach.

My heart is full

To introduce myself, I must also introduce my best friend. This is Bodhi, a rescue from Chatsworth, GA, came to a newly married couple in Morristown, NJ. From there, Raleigh, NC and now living his golden years on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro. Say hi to Bodhi, y'all, you'll be seeing a lot of him! ❤️
