Always a great sign when your captors are writing numbers on your arms.

Spotted today, at the base of a tree, in Oradea, Romania. Looks like an offering or a spell to me. The leaves did not come from any tree nearby. What do you think #WitchSky?

“A Portland Police Bureau assistant chief said in court recently that federal police were “instigating” some of the clashes between officers and protesters outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in South Portland.” www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/0...

hey, remember when Kamala Harris warned everyone that Trump would use the military on us, and the press was all "shut up, laughing lady, prove you worked at McDonald's"? that was fun, wasn't it

"The leadership of the FBI, DOJ, and DHS have proven their agencies are not capable of conducting investigations based on anything other than Trump’s political objectives. Simply put: the federal govt can no longer be trusted, & the Trump admin only has itself to blame." — @justinglawe.bsky.social

Is this what they meant by "Great Again"?

I've been thinking a lot about DJT & Co designating us as extremists. I'm a Critical Care Nurse (retired). I've saved hundreds of lives, sat with the dying, held crying families in my arms. I've cared for pedophiles, murders, child molesters, heroes, mothers, fathers, babies, angsty teens...

Lately, I feel more like a political dissident than a nomadic US Citizen. All we want is a country that is fair & kind, a country we can be proud to call home, that lives up to her potential as a shining beacon of freedom, where all kinds of people can live & pursue happiness. How is that extreme?

🚨🚨 NEW DOCUMENTS FROM EPSTEIN'S ESTATE DETAILING HIS DAILY SCHEDULE: They show meetings with Steve Bannon, Peter Thiel, and a potential visit to Epstein’s Island for Elon Musk. Prince Andrew is listed as a passenger on Epstein’s jet. DOJ must release the Epstein files NOW.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets. • Joy Reid • Don Lemon • Melissa Harris-Perry • Tiffany Cross • Jemele Hill • Marc Lamont Hill • Karen Attiah • Amber Ruffin

I’ve been a devotee of Hekate since 2007. This book is everything I hoped it would be. I’ve about 90 pages left in it and I desperately want to keep reading; alas, heavy eyes and work in the morning mean I won’t finish it tonight. Maybe that’s a good thing, though. This is a book to savor. 🗝️🌑

"A mother's love is many things but most of all it is ancient and it is destructive to anything and anyone who stands between her and her child" -exerpt from the chapter, Demeter, in Hekate: The Witch (Goddess of the Underworld Book 1) by @nikitagill.bsky.social 🖤 a sublime & enchanting read

So his defense is going to be, "Everyone was trafficking children & using them for sexual pleasure. It was just the war it was back then." Uhm, no. That's not ok. They were CHILDREN you evil, creepy predator.

ACE Deputy Director Madison Sheahan: "Somebody chose to come in and kill these detainees while they were being processed." (Note how administration officials don't have their stories straight on this.)

I wish Pagans were the threat “Pagan Threat” says we are. I wish we had the power, the influence, and the organizational competency it says we have. Instead, this book tries to make Pagans the scapegoats for the internal failings of conservative religion. www.patheos.com/blogs/johnbe...

This is an unfortunate new EXTRA challenge in covering breaking news — and an important reason why historically federal law enforcement agencies try hard to be responsible, authoritative, and not, you know, torch their reputations for likes and LULZ:

many of you are working overtime to validate the humanity of people who are intentionally, systemically, and methodologically working to invalidate your humanity

Some news from me: Hekate, my verse novel is a top 5 Sunday Times bestseller this week. It’s my first ever time on the list and it’s still quite rare for poetry to make this bestsellers list - especially verse novels, so feeling incredibly grateful to be here.

Media spectacles and PR stunts are mimetic magical rituals where they try to invoke fascism by mimicking the aesthetics and designs of previous fascist regimes like a cargo cult does when it builds imitation airplanes that cannot fly.

After many Republicans insisted that Trump wasn’t involved in the FCC’s decision to go after Jimmy Kimmel, Trump just admitted it. Tell your representative that it’s time to investigate government censorship and FCC Chair Brendan Carr: act.indivisible.org/...

Yes. Many of us do. Can somebody please put grandpa to bed?

If he was just a private citizen there would be muttering about how he should probably be under guardianship to manage his affairs.

This speech is such an extraordinary combination of lies, delusions, narcissism, hatefulness, ignorance and lunacy that it could have been given by no other person than the president of the United States. It could well be the low point of US public diplomacy in our history.

The most encouraging thing about the Disney+ boycott is people realizing that they're not helpless in this situation. I'm hoping it will lead to greater engagement and more active shows of solidarity.

Bothers me when people discuss Left movements in the U.S. w/out underscoring the GENERATIONS of repression, surveillance, violence directed at movements. The "Left" is so disorganized is used as a joke but I hardly ever see those same people saying 'THE LEFT WAS TARGETED & DISORGANIZED by the STATE'

i think this is a really underrated motivator of the current actions of the trump admin - they're realizing that they've started a path that at best leads to the thermostatic pendulum swinging against them so hard they all end up in prison and at worst leads to the RUD of american society

"What this means, now more than ever, is we ALL need to stand together, abandon no one to their ravenous jaws..." This whole thread 👇💯

We are the archivists. They rewrite history, but we remember. They create heroes & martyrs, but we know the truth. They erase science, but we are here because of the work & dedication of brilliant humans. They manufacture enemies to harm, to imprison, to kill, but we see humanity. 1/2

New: The Trump family is now worth an estimated $10 billion, having nearly doubled its net worth since last year’s election. @danalexander21.bsky.social, @kylekhanmullins.bsky.social for @forbes.com

The only reason to terminate an annual report on hunger & food insecurity is because you're planning on increasing hunger & food insecurity.

The Trump administration has terminated an annual government hunger report, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) said. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

A fourth boat bombed in international waters. Total death toll now 19 What I dont get is, if these boats are "carrying fentanyl" as Trump says (they absolutely arent. Even the DEA says VZ doesnt produce fentanyl), then why not seize one and show us? www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

Some days meditation feels like floating in still water. Some days it feels like wrestling a squirrel in a phone booth. Both are valid. Sit anyway. #meditation #selfcare #mindfulness #meditationteacher #spirituality #witchsky

Can you imagine what would happen if a Democrat POTUS declared that he was deploying troops to wage war on cities in his own country? How far we've fallen.

Even their propaganda is uncreative.

This gorgeous sigil is on the wall at the Che Guevara Social Pub in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. See AltText for my interpretation (I could be wrong) #WitchSky #Druid #Pagan

Live in the US? It’s a good time to support your local library and use your card to access film and TV via the Kanopy app. It’s also a good time to get a PBS membership.

No no no no no! UCLA STAND FIRM

turns out it's pretty hard to put an hour's worth of charlie kirk together and hold up the "he was not a white christian nationalist, actually" charade

the H1-B thing seems unlikely to withstand a court challenge, but it's still deeply funny that it's basically a nuclear warhead aimed at businesses and executives who've been grandiosely and publicly kissing his fucking ass for nine months

There is no FAFO suggestion that involves abandoning marginalized folks in need & under attack that ISN'T fascist. The writing people off thing is endorsing fascism. Fuckin stop it. Instead, what are you good at? Do that to help others instead of giving up on folks bc you feel wronged. Do GOOD.

I hope the tribunals happen in my lifetime.

As we head into Shabbat, we want to specifically wish comfort and care to our fellow trans community members: you are not alone. Trans Jews and our loved ones have always been and will continue to be an intrinsic part of our Keshet and broader Jewish community.

my fav part of Godwin's Law was the bit a few years ago when Godwin went online to tell people that they should ignore his law
