How timely still, now: a powerful exhibition of early 2000s protest signs by local antiwar activist Bill Jennings, installed at the historic Shaker Meeting House in Harvard, MA. Curated by @luciddecapitation.bsky.social and @transientbummers.bsky.social

My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

Sunday July 6th at 3pm on the Harvard Town Common we carry hand painted signs by Bill Jennings created in protest of the Iraq War two decades ago. What has changed? What remains the same? Come join us: maps.app.goo.gl/VuLzzT1dvQEE...

Mamdani does what I've been calling constructive politics: appeals to identity as a building block of solidarity rather than a replacement for it. love to see it

The armed, yellow-vested "peacekeepers" at the Utah 50501 protest in Salt Lake City opened fire into a crowd, hitting two people: A Sāmoan fashion designer with two young kids, who died. A second-generation Venezuelan immigrant and antiracist protester who was legally carrying. Cops charged HIM.

Never has it been clearer that “no one is free until Palestine is free” is not a chant but a warning, as we all stare into the abyss of another world war.

NEW: In the last few hours, Minnesota authorities warned people against attending protests, with a killer on the loose. This is the current view of the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul. DEFIANCE. 👏 #NoKings #50501Movement (📸 Daviss)

How I arrived on Bluesky

It is a rare figure whose death is followed by a conclave being held to elect someone to fill the void left by their absence. So, please, my friend take care for there will be no conclave held to fill the void left by your absence, and you too, my friend, are a rare figure.

I promise you that we will need many more people than you would ever choose to get to know or be friends with in this life. We will need more people than you would ever personally *like* or find perfect political alignment with. We will need people who annoy you and who are wrong about some stuff.

"In an earlier post, she wrote: "As for the inevitable death, if I die, I want a loud death, I don't want me in a breaking news story, nor in a number with a group, I want a death that is heard by the world, a trace that lasts forever, and immortal images that neither time nor place can bury."

A delegation of 7 House Republicans went to CECOT—2 posted photos, while others kept quiet. But a photo from the US Embassy in El Salvador blew their cover. I reached out to their offices & got this response from one: "We cannot confirm or comment on the Congressman’s location for security purposes"
