Stonewall inn Gingerbread. Celebrate the season of queer liberation !!!

Multiple sources have confirmed that ICE/Border Patrol is headed back to the Raleigh and Durham areas for undefined deportation actions. We've heard 50 ICE agents, charter flights and hotels booked for all of them in the Raleigh area. Let us know what you hear.

CIMA, 2:40 pm: "We have visual confirmation of immigration agents in the downtown Asheville area. If you see suspicious activity or a family member has been arrested, contact the community line at 1-888-839-2839. Our allies are ready to provide support with food, transportation and more." #avlnews

Jane Jacobs, 1961. Wish the senate democrats had thought about this passage. #JaneJacobs#CitizenPower

Do we need to be designing spaces that can protect our communities from ICE? Can a neighborhood create something like an Eruv that delineates a collective "private domain"? #SafeSpace#CollectiveDomain#NoICE

billions of ticketing records are sold to the US government; the DHS, and records show agencies like ICE, CBP, ATF, TSA, and others. @josephcox.bsky.social found a way for you to opt-out of this in this essential guide to prevent even more gov surveillance

@privatepage0.bsky.social re: your backpack. Just FYI - the Scrap Exchange in Durham NC has the best bathroom graffiti.

Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

One more thing to contact your reps about ... The current administration is pushing to undermine a core element of the Fair Housing Act - Disparate Impact. Without it, discriminatory housing policies will continue to thrive behind the sheerist of veils. All architects need to speak out.

We cannot have architecture without builders and craftspeople. Advocate for workers rights and 4th amendment workplaces on all of your projects. Discuss it with your clients. Write it into your specifications. DM me if you want a yard sign for your project.

Farm workers in Washington state are calling on you to support the first UFW backed boycott in nearly 20 years! #BoycottWindmillMushrooms

A reminder to all architects and designers... Boycott and Divest from companies supporting the genocide. Call out all firms that participate. Write your specifications to avoid companies that profit from the destruction. Support RIBA members' call for the ouster of the war criminals from the UAI.

«to claim that we cannot degrow (a biophysical imperative) because it would lower VAT revenues (a social convention) is as absurd as saying we shouldn’t stop a car heading at full speed toward a wall because it would cut off the music on the radio.»

Tons of water filled our lakes and creeks in Mebane during Chantal. Our water treatment plant was damaged by flooding. The site is surrounded by an auto parts salvage yard & a huge development area scraped free of vegetation. All the problems all at once. Cascading effects #mebane#climatechange

Who are the architects and engineers who planned and drew up the new, morally bankrupt, immigrant detention facility in the Everglades? #architecture#ImmigrantRights

We don't knowingly use AI in our practice although we are being pressured by software companies to do so. If you do use AI, educate yourself on the energy use and demands. This article by Science News is a great place to start. www.sciencenews.org/article/ai-e...

Advocate for the construction workers on your projects. Elongated exposure to high heat can cause severe damage to kidneys and other internal organs. No building is worth the health of our community members. Discuss work plans w clients and builders!! #architecture

If you are an architect/designer in NC please consider educating your clients on 4th Amendment rights for the construction workers who might be participating in the project. Also, if you want to show solidarity w folks, consider using this job sign ...#ImmigrantCommunity#Architecture#Construction

Within the first few minutes of Tuesday’s House Committee on Energy and Commerce hearing on planned Republican Medicaid cuts—which would render more than 8 million Americans uninsured—a contingent of protesters entered the room in Washington. Here is what happened⬇️

We have buttons!! Come join us at the Climate Action Fair in Pittsboro at #ThePlant to support the efforts of the Haw River Assembly and local organizations to keep us informed and supported and safe! #Climate#Action#HawRiver#AlamanceCounty#ChathamCounty#Architecture

The sudden firing of the US Archivist is more than a staffing decision—it’s a warning sign for democracy. When the power to preserve or erase history becomes political, the truth is at risk.

We'll be at the climate fair this Saturday! Come by and say hello! #ClimateActionFair#pittsboro#HawRiver#thePlant

I'd love to see aia architecture awards that supported designers who did a great job at making spaces that disabled folks WANTED to go to rather than spaces that met baseline code or found a fancy way to get around being accessible. Normalize care over logistics! #architecture#aia#DisabilityRights

They knew before they applied to get the job ... This is not a new tactic. And it is NEVER okay. Proximity to public transit is key to folks with limited incomes who are often disabled. They need to take the option off the table. It's disingenuous. #HousingEquality#DisabilityJustice

Are there building facade patterns or materials that could help confuse facial recognition programs that are being used to unfairly target folx practicing free speech in urban settings? Can building design create safer spaces for free speech?#FreeSpeech#DesignActivism

We're aiming to raise $50k for @genderlib.com and Trans Youth Emergency Project this week. We're just about to hit $6k - help us reach our goal: secure.actblue.com/donate/trans...

4 generations of teachers in our family. It is a job that provides only hard-earned & ephemeral victories, does not provide financial reward, and is never given the support it deserves despite how much support it gives. Equitable PUBLIC education is essential to Community strength & resilience.

It's St Patrick's Day!!! Out w the serpents (I'm deciding serpents are Oligarchs) and here's to an early Easter Rising commemoration and anti-imperialist history! Éririnn go Brách! #IrishAmerican#Ireland#AntiImperialism

Every person on Bluesky should know: * Every post on Bluesky is PUBLIC forever * Every post on Bluesky is archived by ICE, NSA, and many other agencies * Even if you delete a post, it’s already been captured * Judges don’t care if you were “kidding” or being ironic www.404media.co/the-200-site...

Just added a new zine lending library in our small ted-leaning town. Contact us if you have zines to share that can bridge the divide and/provide support for our queer community!! #zines#queercommunity#ruralcommunity

Great #DiscoforDisenfranchisement at #HawRiverBallroom. Thank you Judge Allison Riggs and all the amazing people that made tonight happen and that fought and are fighting for #democracy in NC!!! Let's keep fighting!!!! #saxapahaw#alamance

It’s been a grim five weeks for the clean energy transition in North Carolina. From rooftop solar to electric vehicle charging to offshore wind, a slew of renewable energy advances have faced setbacks:

I like Caroline more than AI:

Duke is one of the largest biomedical research enterprises in the country. A cut of this magnitude (15%cap on F&As) would result in thousands of lost jobs at Duke & potentially tens of thousands across NC.

Beautiful section drawing by Paul Rudolph of the 1972 Burroughs Welcome headquarters on display at the Met and January 2021 demolition RTP, NC. AZT was developed here. ACTUP fought here for affordable access against Reagan's dismissal of the AIDS epidemic. #brutalism#NCarchitecture#ACTUPerasure
