The number of immigrants who are opting to leave the country because of the bleak situation this administration has created for them is heartbreaking. Whether people are snatched off the street Bovino-style, pulled into the system through jails, or intimidated into leaving, those are our neighbors.

If we were a sane, humane nation, this is what prison would be everywhere: "This isn’t just about prison reform. It’s about redefining justice. Retribution has its limits...When we stop punishing and start restoring, we rise up." (And there's a cat, too.) 😸

Sharing stigmergy with your son is itself a stigmergic act. You're leaving a trace in their thinking where it can influence what happens next without you directing it. The best ideas propagate the same way: not by instruction but by making themselves findable.

Just casually running into incredible humans and creatives. Baltimore is brimming w talent I love it here

I have lost my whole mind (or so I perceived at the time) many times, and I have coping skills for it. It just takes me some time. When you talk about MH disorders, at least for me, it brings up some of the experiences I’ve had with others. I can’t go there. I just am chatty and reaching out.

Also, there are many bright spots that I enjoy sharing! Dissociation is unusual and definitely can be confusing - in truth - I am confused in those moments. Acceptance of it is the best thing. My “real” friends are there for me when I need them. My virtual friends never leave me. They know I’m edgy.

It speaks volumes that I come here to reach out in those worst moments. Thank you.

I see a lot of new followers. Enter at your own risk. That’s all I’ve got. Lol I mainly am here for news. Honest journalism. When I see something I think “everyone” needs to know, I share it. Please don’t put me on your list of whatever. No thanks. Come look me in the eye and be my real friend.

I had a bad night on Sunday. I have complex PTSD with a dissociative disorder. It was just a bad night. If I’m out of character? It’s right to ask if maybe there is more to it, and if maybe that was you, you’d also like a wide berth. I deleted all of those posts. If I can’t defend it, it’s gotta go.

I mean, I’m the friend people bring spears and homemade goats milk soap to because they are nice and they know my groove and they come for Zomies for the Homies (Iris rhizomes from my farm for 30 years). An older fella and good friend gave me a spear. Oh, what am I to do?

The man brutalized by ICE in his vehicle (& later dragged across the ground & thrown into an ICE vehicle after he was discharged from the hospital) has been named as Chidozie Wilson Okeke, a Nigerian immigrant. An anti-ICE rally in support of him has been called for Sat. May 9:

👀 This is interesting...six 287(g) agreements were removed from ICE's published list this morning, which is the most I've seen in one day. Five of these were county-level agreements with Kentucky sheriffs' offices. datastudio.google.com/s/nx5pNrWXKM8

📌BREAKING: New York leaders announced a plan to implement some of the strictest rules for immigration officials of any state in the country, AND FORBIDS ICE THUGS FROM WEARING MASKS.

Well now it’s over 40 passengers who disembarked after being unknowingly exposed. Those who flew on a plane, well a flight attendant on that plane is now sick. There were 88 people on that flight. I’m too tired for this.

A homie showed up to dig up some Zomies (Iris rhizomes - word has gotten out) and brought me this hand made spear and some homemade soap as a gift. New project on deck! Farrier is here later today, may see if he can sharpen the tip for me. The shaft is cracked at the joint too, so gotta fix that.

you may ask yourself, what was happening in baltimore in 2015 and you may ask yourself, well, how did i get here?

Someone asked a bunch of kids what the first thing was that cane to mind when they thought about Trump. Their answers are priceless. Check out the video.

Yesterday, a caravan of about 13 cars drove from L.A. to the California City detention center - 100 miles each way. Then we joined a rally in town, and heard about all the people who've died there, including a 16 month old baby. Each center makes about 800K A DAY. It's CECOT on our shores.

Protests erupted on Wednesday in Nashville as Republicans in Tennessee raced to slice up their state's sole Democratic district covering the majority-Black city of Memphis. Mother Jones’s @garrisonhayes.bsky.social is on the ground at the State Capitol covering the upheaval:

Last night, my son, he’s nearly 20, and I were talking about current events. He said “Mom, remember the movie Antz? And how the grasshoppers were scared of them ganging up on them? (He meant organizing.) I didn’t so he reminded me of the story. Then he said people are going to do that, and that 1/

Related thought... I'm genuinely curious about the overlap between people who call reporting ICE locations "obstruction" and people who flag police on Waze.

Stay safe, Baltimore. Multiple reports of ICE agents on Monroe and Liberty Heights in west Baltimore, on Park in midtown, and on Eastern Avenue between Highlandtown and Dundalk in east Baltimore. As always, you can make reports at the link below.

Okay. Can we discuss human casualties now? Real numbers? Anyone? Anyone?

Just when you think you’ve seen all of the terrible awful news this morning. Damn, damn, damn.

This is why communities object to data centers. Billionaires get the benefit. Communities get the consequences. Negative.

This speaks to the fact that the world recognizes that trump is a threat.

Okay then‼️🙏🏼🙏🏼 We scared‼️
