NPR just chose HERE WHERE WE LIVE IS OUR COUNTRY as a book of the day. So much gratitude for eveyone who has been spreading the Bund’s rebel legacy www.npr.org/2026/05/26/n...

American-born sons kept things going when their dad was sent to Texas and their mom went into hiding. Written by Michael Paz

If you have shoes or men's pants to donate, we'd love them at @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social

Finished my commission! Landscapes are hard but my friend is happy with what I came up with. ☺️ Acrylic and microns on some good quality paper. #landscapes #traditionalart #painting Hope this kickstarts more artwork for me, I've been so dry on the art department of my life.

A nice surprise today- our Bog Arum or Wild Calla bloomed in our wee fish pond. The Anishinaabe people call this "Aniknowewashk." #callapalustris #wildcalla #bloomscrolling

ending the rise and remember festival marking 6 years since george floyd’s murder by the minneapolis police department with people dancing in the square to brass solidarity band playing “love train”

The best way to honor fallen soldiers is to avoid careless reasons to create more of them.

Increasingly I think the parasocial relationships people have on social media and with politicians are a reflection of superhero culture, of waiting for someone to show up, beat the bad guys, and save them. There's no such thing as a superhero.

Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

Yo wtf why did my last post blow up all of a sudden 🫠

This is not an online day for me. Rise & Remember street festival all day at 38th & Chicago. Vigil at 8pm. Our work must continue. Be gentle with people & ruthless with systems. Be gentle with each other so we can be dangerous together. May George Floyd & those stolen & killed by the State rest.

My Grey Headed Coneflower #ratibidapinnata is always a source of joy for me. It attracts Skippers & Longhorn Bees like this cutie hiding behind a blade of grass. Seedheads smell like lemon when crushed & birds love them too. #photography #nativeplants #pollinator #minnesota #twincities (2025)

【汐汲】(しおくみ) 須磨の浜辺にやって来た蜑女（あま）の苅藻（みるめ）は、汐汲桶に映る月影に、会うことの叶わない恋人・在原行平への思いを馳せて舞い始める。 そして苅藻は、都に帰っていった行平を思いながら、形見の烏帽子と水干を身につけて舞う。 そこへ、苅藻に思いを寄せる漁師の此兵衛が現れるが、苅藻は此兵衛をあしらいながら去っていくのであった。 ●背景：豪華客船⛴ 苅藻と行平の楽しかった思い出を手鏡の中に表現🪞✨ #イラスト

I've not painted in quite some time so I'm grateful a friend commissioned me to do this so I can get my ass in gear. #landscapes aren't usually my thing but I tried. I like how this turned out. #blueskyartshow #eastcoastkin #handwritten #fckAI Hope they like it. (They aren't on Bluesky) 😆

It’s encouraging to see way more people getting really angry about big-tech and MAGA-endorsed digital surveillance.

Timeline cleanse: Fatigue II by Ukrainian artist Mihail Zablodski renders exhaustion as a kind of beautiful annihilation. Suspended between drowning and serenity, the figure exists in the aftermath of resistance; where consciousness dissolves into stillness before it can become grief.

Watching the #bigflowerfight and it's so sweet that most of them are so supportive of their competitors. Some even cry for the others when things go wrong.

Rest in power, George Floyd.

Hawaiʻi just passed a new law that limits corporations' ability to engage in political campaigns. Let’s see this in other states.

Throwback to making Irish Soda Bread for my nonagenarian patient...her own recipe. She couldn't bake anymore so she was stoked to eat it again. We're not supposed to have favorites in #eldercare, but she was mine. I miss her. R.I.P. Reg. 🤍 #cooksofbluesky #baking #irishsodabread #kitchenwitch

Yes! We did that!

Bike commuted to work today. What a beautiful day to do it. ☺️ Saves me some gas money and I get to check out some #murals up close! #bikecommuting #bike #twincities #minnesota

I’m not super religious but my socialist politics is 100% derived from my Muslim upbringing — no usury (profiting off of debt), distribute wealth, take care of your neighbors, we’re all equal in the eyes of God. Pretty good things to live by.

A week into my walk to raise money for MAP and I’ve reached Hebron (virtually) but only six people have donated. Please, if you can manage just a little it would be greatly appreciated. They really need our help. If not please share. Thank you. ✊🏼🇵🇸

I'm hopelessly infatuated with one car, Smart. Yes, I know they don't make sense in America. I love these things so much that I named myself after the woman Mercedes-Benz gets its name from. One of my six is a diesel getting 70 mpg. Over the past 16 years I've done some crazy things with these cars!

New piece: Minnesota lawmakers are acting - in collaboration with local organizers and government officials - to defend disability rights against the federal government. It’s good law. It’s a shitty situation. (Gift link)

Spawn is leaving for #iceland w/o her dad & I. So proud of her for taking this big step, working & saving her 💵 for years to do it. Happy she gets to see a beautiful country w her bestie! Took this photo of her in #chiba staring out to a bamboo forest. #photography #japan #dreamy #eastcoastkin

Some people still regard Minnesota as a flyover state. bringmethenews.com/minnesota-li...

I just found out today he's also half Filipino and I'm so proud. We don't back down when it's for justice.

In light of recent events in the UK, I would like to remind folks of a quote by Diogenes: "in the rich man's house, there is no where to spit except upon his face."

Every summer we have a person who shows up to 1 of the 4 parks we have in our neighborhood to sell peaches out of their trailer. Hope they come back this year so I can make this bomb-ass Peach Yuzu Crisp again. I still think about it. 🍑 #dessert #peachyuzucrisp #cooksofbluesky #kitchenwitch

So honored to have @indivisible.org's endorsement! Grateful for this organization which works tirelessly to support activists as well as campaigns like ours that are committed to fighting against right-wing politics, and for a better world for our communities.

We are going to savor this one. Our client, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, is freed of these outrageous, vindictive charges. It’s a good day.

To visit, someday.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia stands free as a federal judge dismantles the DOJ's retaliatory case against him. While the administration scrambled to indict the Salvadoran immigrant after a high-profile deportation loss, the court calls prosecution a clear abuse of power, forcing a dismissal of charges.

I hope he sues the ever living shit out of whoever kept trying to ruin his life. 🫂 Kilmar Abrego Garcia 🙏🏽🥺

An extraordinary rebuke of Todd Blanche and his Justice Department. Federal judge dismisses the indictment of Abrego Garcia (an exceedingly rare outcome in a criminal case). Finding of vindictive prosecution and "an abuse of prosecuting power." The opinion name checks Blanche nearly 30 times.

My favorite lady at my local Pho spot calls me Meatball Girl and my partner Spice Boy. 😂 Shoutout to Tien. She's the best!

hard to exaggerate how heroic these men were. they likely saved dozens of children's lives. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

World Goth Day Me at 21(?) then at 38! Too busy to dress up these days at almost 41, but I do try when I've got the time. 🖤 #worldgothday

A street scene I captured in Osaka (大阪), 2025年10月30日 w/ my phone. I've dreamed of going to Japan since I was little. So happy to be able to make a childhood dream come true! #streetphotography #photography #powerlines #japan #eastcoastkin #digitalphotography #osaka #japan

TFW when your 82-year-old Midwestern dad can’t take your call because he’s too busy organzing against ICE.

HOLY SHIT prosecutors kicked off grand jurors and then re-presented the case against the Broadview 6, then altered the grand jury transcripts to hide it from the judge. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

I've never seen Orb Weaver #spiderlings before! #orbweaver

There's no cognitive dissonance quite like self described liberals and progressives defending Benjamin Netanyahu's far right regime.
