autumn equinox farm bouquet, good morning yall

Check out the chyron -- they are shilling their merch store during a funeral. The sheer vulgarity of these petty-hucksters-gone-big is wild to me. Government by fashy used car salesmen, I swear to God. It will never ever not be fundamentally strange to me that their own base find this appealing.

the Brazilian right is attempting to pass measures through the legislature to shield Bolsonaro and other legislators from the legal consequences of the failed coup, for which Bolsonaro was recently sentenced to 27 years. these photos are of the massive protests in response.

i don’t think people on bluesky understand the severity of this situation. i woke up to literally hundreds of texts from friends and family thinking about either moving back home to india or applying to other countries for jobs. this includes me.

This appears to be the 3rd lethal US strike in the Caribbean. Once again, the specific "terrorist" entity targeted is not identified. No legal justification is offered for this premeditated killing. President Trump is asserting a license to kill outside of the law. 1/n

if you're feeling down & undirected, highly rec developing solidarity relations with elders doing community work where you live. in Baltimore it's either decades of dedication or late entry into a vigorous, constructive mode of hyperlocal organizing--amazing folks stewarding liveability in many ways

Let's all to take a deep breath & understand that we have reached the phase in fascism where if they want to declare you a criminal, you are a criminal. You can not magically avoid it, or do exactly the right thing to stay off the list. Fascism must always have enemies, and one day you will be one.

folks, I want to remind you that a ton of federal workers are about to get their last pay check at the end of this month and this stuff is going to get much worse
