🌕➡️🔴 Lunar eclipse alert! Depending on where you are (mostly: Central/Eastern Asia, Oceania, most of North/Central America), you may be able to see a TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE ("blood moon") overnight! You can find information about timing and viewing locations here: www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/luna...

"Trans rights are human rights" has never been more important than right now. The Kansas GOP overrode the Governor's veto to enable this. If they can willfully do it to one group, they can do it to ANY group.

Being a NIMBY is good, now

This is the most incredible footage of blue whales I’ve ever seen

A lot of science fiction and shady government projects have been centered on “brainwashing” or getting people to do or say stuff that they wouldn’t normally. Well, it’s here, and disinformation from right wing influencers is a huge component.

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right. Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement. This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

Hey Los Angeles! Here is a fast and easy action from @justicela.bsky.social This form lets you email the Board Of Supervisors about the 10 in-custody deaths in the last 8 weeks. actionbutton.nationbuilder.com/share/SPK-QE...

The California State University system spent $16.9 million last year giving ChatGPT to all students, faculty, and staff. We are asking the CSU chancellor not to renew the contract with OpenAI when it expires. Anyone can sign the petition — link below!

This is what has happened in LA. I rely on @lataco.bsky.social’s daily updates because even local news often fails to report kidnappings now. ICE has been taking our neighbors since *June* and sometimes I despair of people elsewhere knowing/caring.

4 Black journalists have been kidnapped by the federal government

(norman rockwell guy) i don't think we should replace human tutors with the lying robot that tells children to kill themselves

Can you imagine trying to learn when your classmates and their parents are disappearing? All of these kids are going to carry trauma for life.

The list is not exhaustive and will continually be updated through out the day, so check back often. The full list: lataco.com/list-jan-30-... By @afroxander.bsky.social

Details on how the Minneapolis rapid resource network works to protect their neighbors. You can replicate this with your own community. Get organized before you need to be.

ICE kidnapped 5 people from my community this morning. I don’t live in Minneapolis. I live in LA County. They’re still here and their still brutalizing.

Here's some information on the National Shutdown on Friday. Not everyone can do this, and that's okay, but if you can these types of actions have a lot of impact. nationalshutdown.org?emci=c52ba88...

Protesting in Hollywood today.

PSA

If you want proof that Trump is going to try to rig the elections, here it is: In a letter to Gov. Tim Walz Saturday, Bondi claimed that Walz could “restore the rule of law” by complying with a list of demands, including giving the Department of Justice (DOJ) the state’s voter registration records.

More members of Congress need to be like Seth Moulton.

echoing the calls for people outside the US to pressure their country to boycott the Olympics and the World Cup

Wild that we're still referring to them as "law enforcement" when they're the criminals.

"I am a children's entertainer who specializes in face painting," writes a woman now in hiding from the federal government for witnessing a state-sanctioned street execution

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer. In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

A decentralized leaderful movement. ❤️

If you're looking for more ways to take action and feel a little less helpless check out Showing Up for Racial Justice's event, “Solidarity Mobilizations Training: ICE Out of Minnesota and Out of Everywhere” - www.mobilize.us/surj/event/8...

Fun fact: Black Panthers doing perfectly legal (at the time) open carry in CA in the 1960s spurred then-Governor Reagan to sign the Mulford Act into law in 1965, prohibiting it. These people have no consistent politics outside a desperate, leering need to keep hold of power and privilege.

they want you to think minneapolis is dangerous. more of brass solidarity band performing today at powderhorn park at the anti ICE protest after their agent killed renee good. the band is made up of community members around george floyd square and they bring joy to every action they appear at

Greetings! Several hundred protesters are currently at Pershing Square. They are protesting against recent fatal shootings in the US by ICE officers.

These declines are MASSIVE. And the comparative silence in media coverage is absolutely DAMNING. “Why are ppl always so afraid of crime?” THIS is why. When crime goes up, media trips over itself to report it. Falls to pre-war (!!) levels? Just CRICKETS.

I cannot state any more baldly or clearly than I already have about what an immense menace RFK Jr. is. The number of preventable illnesses and deaths - of *babies* - will be horrific. This anti-vax crap is grotesque anti-science, and always has been.

Eleven years ago, I wrote to Tom Stoppard to ask about this coup de théâtre from 1949. It took me down an unexpected rabbit hole - in memory of Stoppard, here's what I found.

Hate to admit it but a good thing to tell folks in the government/military these days is: “Donald Trump will never be held accountable for his actions. But YOU will be.”

Ruby Bridges is younger than my mother.

Take a lesson from the Black Panthers who understood how to feed people

hey i know things are hard but just remember YOU are charismatic megafauna

Wake up, babe, the least subtle visual metaphor in history just dropped

Last day to send written comments on the Los Angeles men's jail closure. Very easy and quick action. This has been in the works for so long and keeping pressure on is critical. @justicela.bsky.social actionbutton.nationbuilder.com/share/SPK-QE...

Is this anything

thinking about how fucked up it is to give kids measles on purpose and then withhold tylenol from them

This is the difference between the WHAT and the HOW. ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️

BREAKING: The director of the presidential library and museum in Abilene, Kansas, said he was suddenly told to resign or be fired. He refused to give the Trump administration a historic sword from the museum’s collection.

Black folk will tell you: The 1st thing cops say after an incident is always a lie.🤷🏿‍♂️ They lie because there's upside in it for them, and no downside. No matter how many times they get caught lying, newspapers will print their next lie as the gospel truth.🤡 And people stop caring before truth hits
