For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were. These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War. Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35 Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42 Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39 Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

@rebelleartstudio.bsky.social They tried to weaponize fear. She weaponized hope. The torch is still lit. 🔥🗽 #analogcollage #ArtAsProtest #CollageArt #NoTyrants

The female cardinal is underway, about half way there I reckon. I’m recording a timelapse to share with you too of her being painted. #watercolours #birdart 🪶

This is Lexa. She really hopes you’ll be her valentine. Wouldn’t want to waste this look on just anybody. 14/10 (IG: bambiandlexa)

Make love louder than hate. Cut, torn, layered, and reassembled—because softness is not weakness, and love is not quiet. Love is resistance. Love is volume. Love is choice. #collageart #makelovenothate #punkart #protestart #contemporarycollage #artasresistance #visualpoetry

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Stunning photos from Minneapolis, including this one by John Locher for the Associated Press. www.theatlantic.com/photography/...

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

Musk’s staffers are accessing the heavily guarded Internal Revenue Service (IRS) system, which contains detailed financial information on every taxpayer, business, and nonprofit in the country.

Good morning Bluesky ☀️🦋 from the Gulf of Mexico 🌊

It’s been called the Gulf of Mexico for 425 years. Thanks Britannica!

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

Monday thought:

thank you to Kendrick and the Eagles for making terrible people angry tonight

Great point.

Congress was denied entry to both the U.S. Department of Education and the Treasury, where Musk staffers blocked the doors. Along with its appropriations responsibilities, Congress holds oversight authority over federal agencies. Blocking congressional access to these agencies is illegal.

NEWS: Another massive anti-ICE protest breaks out, this time in New York, TikTok's fate is now in the hands of JD Vance, and the Trump Administration just cut millions in biomedical research funding. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

Judge Amy Berman Jackson has formally dismissed the case of Jan. 6 defendant DJ Rodriguez, who drove a taser into the neck of MPD officer Michael Fanone and had been sentenced to 12 years in prison "Michael Fanone's heroism will never be moot," she says. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Most of the world’s brightest minds are hard at work developing new ways for you to get depression from a computer

Okay, pardon us, but F this. America, you’ve got to stand up.

Could it be that @kpmgus.bsky.social, as the internal control auditors of the Treasury, is the most important firewall to protect the country now ? @aoc.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @ericswalwell.bsky.social @stephruhle.bsky.social Can someone interview them ?

While Trump has been distracting America with everything else, Elon Musk’s staffers are quietly taking over NOAA and the Department of Labor. They are also using AI to help rewrite a significant portion of the federal government’s computer systems.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Thou shalt impeach the motherfucker.

At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

WELCOME TO BLACK HISTORY MONTH

I’m at a video game competition/conference with one of the kids. It is amazing. Lots of “weirdos” (in the best way) just being themselves. This is the America I want to live in. I want people to be able to not fit in and find their own way.

US immigration agents rounded up undocumented migrants as well as US citizens during a raid of a Newark, New Jersey, worksite that the city's mayor said involved detaining a military veteran and violations of the people's rights reut.rs/3WqEpUj

Remember to log off sometimes. You can't rage post for four years straight without losing your mind

One thing before tomorrow: Use your local libraries. Get your card. Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks. Recommend titles for purchase (usually online). Attend promoted activities. Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires. Tell your kids that libraries are good. They are. 📚
