losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

This is a vetted fundraiser for the family of Renee Good, the woman who was killed by ICE in Minneapolis. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

These photos are so fucking devastating jfc

"Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth.” Herman Hesse

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

No one is coming to save us but us.

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

Today’s poem is selected by Sam Herschel Wein (@samforbreakfast.bsky.social) as part of the 20th anniversary of Read A Little Poetry. “Kiss of the Sun” appeared in Indeed I Was Pleased With the World by Mary Ruefle, Carnegie Mellon University Press, 2007. Shared here with deep gratitude.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

Thinking about how Herman Hesse was so, intensely, deeply, a homosexual

Chicago!! Tonight!!!

We have been warned about this moment for all our lives. Now it's here. What will you do about it?

Hope and solidarity won tonight, and will win again in November. Congratulations, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

queerness, as a liberatory politics and not just another vague personal label, must involve thinking, speaking, and acting against ICE, against the police, against the carceral + imperial state and its networks across the globe, against the violence of borders. happy pride!

"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear."
