Wow! #aurora

Wouldn't it be nice if it were illegal for anybody to assault and kidnap people in the US?

This is one reason why I must show up for protests

Cleve Jones gave a riveting, rousing speech at San Francisco's No Kings rally yesterday, and he's graciously allowing me to publish it. He began: "The pronouns I use the most are the ones probably understood the least by those in the White House today. They are WE, US and OURS."

This is awesome

I live in exurbia so our demonstrations are on interstate overpasses. It is a very red county but we still had a big turnout (for our area) about 300 people vs about 150 at the last protest here in June, and lots of positive responses frpm passing drivers

Great job!

And here's a handy dandy quick to use list of bluesky accounts to block bsky.app/profile/eva....

So multiple official Trump Administration departments joined Bluesky. Instead of trying to keep up with all the bullshit and Hatch Act violations here's some worthwhile alt gov bluesky accounts Also a list of alt gov bluesky accounts that aren't MAGA propaganda outlets bsky.app/starter-pack...

Yes, yes, yes, and yes

I love this man. Actually trying to practice Jesus' teachings

I also don't have many followers but it doesn't hurt to repost

I am an American.

This is a really good piece from @laurajedeed.bsky.social. I'm reluctant to try to summarize it because its value lies in the granularity of its advice. It's worth your time.

One small nudge sparks the transformation of a seemingly stable liquid into a solid. 💧 The liquid is water with more dissolved sodium acetate salt than can be stably sustained. When Andy adds a salt crystal, he kicks off the transformation into the more thermodynamically favourable solid state.

I am behind in posting photos. Photos from a demonstration outside Bayshore Church while McClintock was talking olus some photos from a combination protest/food drive. We almost filled the U-Haul truck with food!

I called and am getting transferred to the secretary, that direct line is: 202-690-7000 Introverts: it's after office hours right now, so you won't have to speak to a human if you call the direct line now and leave a message. #DidThisToday

And another "Good Trouble" demonstration. This time up in Roseville

Our small exurbia town in the red foothills joined the "Good Trouble" demonstrations with 270 people showing up #goodtrouble fb.watch/AW6SEN0vby/

Hey - my local rally made the newspaper! (I think the number ended up being around 2,000) www.sacbee.com/news/local/a...

This is sort of what happened with DOGE. They were convinced there was a mountain of easily-detectable waste and fraud that a handful of folks equipped with "common sense" could root out & eliminate in a manner of weeks. And there wasn't. But they had promised headlines about big cuts...

It's come to this so quickly in the US - that we need to know this.

Thanks, Trumph - not just destroying the US economy www.theguardian.com/business/202...

The NYT is pathetic.

As we head into Memorial Day remember Trump indiscriminately fired 1,000 National Park employees and froze 2,000 seasonal hires Plan accordingly: hours long lines at Grand Canyon, camp ground closures at Great Smokey Mountain, shitty bathrooms, limited emergency rescue resources

So many self-described "Christians" don't want to know this

You also have to give them your driver's license, proof of insurance, and car registration - and get out of your car if told to do so. Otherwise it's just Why did you pull me over? I'm not discussing my day Am I being detained or am I free to go? I invoke the 5th and I want my lawyer

29 words that Americans need to memorize, unfortunately. Why did you pull me over? I'm not discussing my day Am I being detained or am I free to go? I invoke the 5th and I want my lawyer

One more creative way to deal with MAGA BS

Having grown up in Chicago I really did LOL when I read this.

Want a tangible way to resist? Here's your homework. Follow the instructions in this super guide from our amazing friends at @fedworkersunited.bsky.social to comment by May 23 on the proposed Schedule F rule, which would remove civil service protections for a huge swath of the federal workforce.

Another excellent reason to buy a reusable water bottle

Holy crap. If you need to buy something now is the time to do so.

This is going to get worse and worse until it is stopped.

It was great to listen to Rep Eric Swalwell this evening along with 600 other local citizens eager to defend democracy
