Imagine thinking domestic violence isn’t “really serious”

War-torn Chicago.

So uncalled for and evil. Make this all stop, please!

Beautiful, impactful banned books, kept out of public school libraries. #BannedBooks #read pen.org/banned-books...

Children are not threats Peaceful protesters are not threats Elderly veterans are not threats Disabled people are not threats Immigrants are not threats They’ve all been zip tied & unlawfully detained People are being brutalized due to the colour of their skin Punished for speaking out

Hello insomnia, my old frienemy. #insomnia #cantsleep

How I long for the boring Biden years. We need adult leaders, not man-babies.

Sobbing at these Italians being happy to be stuck in traffic during a strike for Palestine

Reading their annual and quarterly reports wkll yield important insights.... 10-K for the kill!

Targeted #boycotts work, sometimes slow and sometimes fast. Welcome back, Jimmy. Now let's choose another target.

Insomniacs will never sleep on it. (Yawn!) #insomnia

New from 404 Media: airlines are selling *5 billion* ticketing records to the government for warrantless searching, per new docs we obtained. ARC is a data broker owned by United, American, Delta, etc. Then sells peoples' travel info to ICE, Secret Service, FBI etc www.404media.co/airlines-sel...

We need more kindness, and less blame, violence and stupidity. Today and tomorrow.

#MorningVibe Trump and Republicans love them young. They protect the children traffickers and not the children because they are the ones doing the crime. Hold them all accountable.

Demographic hit hardest by job reductions is Black men, whose jobless rate rose from 5.2% in May to 7.5% in Aug. White male #jobless rate 3.6% to 3.7% over same months. #economy

The August jobless report shows widespread job cuts in many sectors, from insurance to manufacruring to temp cos. Trump #economy is teetering.

Tonight’s reminder

Evil.

. Every politician who refuses to vote for common-sense gun laws should have to explain to every Emory parent why their kid texted “I love you” while hiding under a desk. .

Busy, busy, busy are we! Mint Artists Guild in #Detroit .

A lazy #caturday to all, except #artists and musicians working weekend art fairs & shows. Photo: Pat Beck

Digging deep to retain some optimism. Today, it's the women and youth who #volunteer, help in their communities and give back, again and again. #Detroit

Where are the children being held? 🚨 Children, handcuffed and chained, being moved out of the LA Federal Building. July 10 - ICE & CBP raided two Glass House Farms sites in Camarillo and Carpinteria. Up to 319 undocumented workers arrested. At least 10 migrant kids were found. The youngest was 14.

The United States government is no longer able to protect us from real hazards, such as flash floods, because it’s shifting funds to fake hazards, such as a non-existent immigrant crime wave. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/05/u...

We need a safety net, and ours has too many holes!

Today, I plant seeds of #justice and joy. The joy will grow in my yard from the zinnia seeds planted. Justice will grow from my donations to immigrant support nonprofits and the ACLU. What #seeds are you planting today?

THE SORT OF "CHRISTIAN" WHO PREYS

The richest country in the world can afford Medicaid. The richest country in the world can afford food assistance. There’s no reason for the cruel and dehumanizing cuts in this big bill. It’s fascism. It’s cruelty for cruelty’s sake. It’s a cull to accelerate ethnic cleansing.

Trump cuts to international humanitarian aid could cause millions of children's deaths. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Half off bagels from @zingermans.bsky.social are among my fav #weekend breakfasts! Available after 5 pm so plan ahead! #bargainhunter

Our country and its constitution and laws need to hear this!

Party or protest or #Pride celebration. It is a giant rainbow in Budapest! www.bbc.com/news/article...

Maya says its Doggo Day, not #Caturday and anyway she's part cat and sitting on my lap proves it. #dogs

Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this? Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids. She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms. Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen. 🧵

Our fitures are in good hands if these Mint youth take power in #Detroit .

So much fun with #Detroit Creativity Project improv at Mint . Gad-zooks! youtube.com/shorts/GYqVy...

Am I the only one wondering if this strike on Iran is meant mostly to divert our collective attention away from the Orangeman's many failings in the USA?

Curtains on the fascists. It's #caturday and we only hang out with kind liberals!

It will be a very hot weekend in #Detroit. Yet, I hope everyone avoids ICE, except in lemonade or margaritas! #weekendplans

Help for #lbgtq folx. Please reshare!

Human rights are for all. Two protesters in Ferndale, Mi. #nokings #pridemonth #loveislove

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

My heart is full after the peaceful protests in Ferndale. And my heart is heavy after the assasinations in MN and tear gas in LA. #nokings

Truth. And also when powerful politicians are attacked by police, we hope they attempt take the rottenness to task.
