My friend is having a rough week. Can you spare anything in these admittedly shitty times, even just your effort in a repost? His dog has cancer, he's not taking it particularly well.

Commentary: Surely a judge who sentences convicted criminals to prison is as much at risk as ICE agents, yet the notion is absurd that judges should be anonymous or allowed to mask their faces in the courtroom.

Boston. Wow.

one of my most sociopathic qualities is switching between "lol" and "lmao" as my default with no rhyme or reason. just *snap* like that.

an unfortunate reality is that most people will not follow all of the proper safety measures today. so, at the very least, please: - DO bring water - DO disable biometrics (FaceID, TouchID, etc) on your phone - DO NOT take pictures of other people - DO NOT sit down - DO NOT talk to cops

Oregonians: tag me in your photos of no kings rallies across our state today so I can show the country how Oregon shows up to say “hell no” to kings.

Y'all better hit the streets like your lives literally depend on it because they very well may depend on what you do next. The last semblance of a guardrail for democracy is about to be rendered useless because of the shutdown that folks wanted. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Harrisburg, PA — there are so many older women in banana suits at the Capitol holding antifa signs and none of that sentence would have made sense to me 10 years ago

Times Square

Today we make clear what the United States of America is all about: NO KINGS!!! Share your best signs with us👇

No kid should ever have to protest or advocate for their friends’ basic humanity. But they’re standing up at No Kings anyway.

#NoKings Miami!

FRANK RICH: “.. Mamdani’s secret power, I’d argue, is that he can never be president. .. not angling to go to Washington or be anointed the ‘savior’ of the Democratic Party .. “.. he is a politician who actually wants to do the job .. a truly radical idea.” @nymag.com nymag.com/intelligence...

The reason they're coming after this place is because they can't control the people on it and it drives them nuts.

Last week, Dean Spade talked about how we’re all being socialized into being anti-social — which is really the heart of most of our problems today — and the only way out is to push ourselves to become social again.

History...

Rep. Mike Rogers: "The group that manages our nuclear stockpile -- the carryover funding they've been using is about to run out. They will have to layoff 80% of their employees. These are not employees that you want to go home."

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly. Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested. Stay safe out there.

Rick is worried about the commies.

“The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government…” ~Patrick Henry

Stansbury: These guys are trying to create a pretext for the deployment of the military against American citizens. And part of how they're trying to do that is by labeling them terrorists…

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities. Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

Excellent statement from AOC.

I voted for Kamala Harris because I believe in the power and necessity of women in leadership, mainly Black women. To the women reading this, be the change, break the cycle, and lead with purpose. 👇🏾

“We can talk about it” is the official slogan of the Podcaster Party.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

gotta say, as a californian who's lived my adult life elsewhere, i sure do miss West Coast weirdos sometimes.

New in PN: Scenes from Portland's imaginary insurrection "I’ve been taking images that are nowhere near this one conflict driveway — ones of puppies & kids playing, & families having picnics — b/c the idea that Portland is burned down & a war zone is just preposterous" — @timdickinson.bsky.social

“We’ll review our procedures” is bureaucrat for “let’s wait for the headlines to fade.”

I promise you you're not going to enjoy Jim Crow 2.0 as much as you thought. The cost of this institutionalized racism is going to be paid entirely through ruining the economy to fund its ethnic cleansing campaign.

There is a sudden surge of anti-protest bots meant to scare or discourage you. I wish I (or someone) had posted this weeks ago but we didn’t so we need to try to get word out to as many as possible. Violence at the No Kings would be very bad. Read and spread, please: buymeacoffee.com/psychopete/t...

Just incredible. It’s almost like it wasn’t torn open by a high velocity bullet at all!

Oncology is apparently very expensive so I made a GoFundMe for Eisbär. Please donate if you can or share this to boost visibility. It's been a rough couple of days and I'm not taking it well but I'm his service human so I'll do everything I can. www.gofundme.com/f/help-eisba...
