Happy 3-year anniversary to Don't Play Defense #Art #Pride

Immigrants can teach us how to fight dictators: "Myrla Baldonado became one of the “forced disappearances” under Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr., in 1983. She was kidnapped by state agents, swept away to a secret location, tortured, and then imprisoned for two years." And yet:

Honestly, sock… under these political circumstances, yes.

“I’m queer” “Queer how, specifically?” “Come back with a warrant”

If you are stopped by Trump's ICE goons, or any other kind of cops: I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT. Memorize it. And don't let ICE in without a JUDICIAL warrant. No, administrative warrants don't count.

Uline's owners are the 2nd biggest political donors to Trump, so found a non-MAGA alt rec'd on Reddi: EcoEnclose. For shipping boxes for original comic art, so I got EXACTLY the size I wanted. It's half the price once you add in shipping to my house from Uline. EcoEnc $120.32 vs Uline $238.38.

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I'm running for Congress.

WHOA. On March 15, a Cornell PhD student with UK and Gambian citizenship, here on a student visa, filed a lawsuit seeking to overturn Trump's EO aimed at foreign students accused of "antisemitism.

Thanks @ragonia.bsky.social ! My new coworkers are perfect u.u

It’s hard for me to express in words the cruelty and harm being escalated towards gender nonconforming folks, but while it may seem easier to exist only out of spite please know it’s also important to be gentle to yourself and exist out of love. We can’t allow them to take our joy away entirely 😤❤️‍🔥

It's pretty cool that Eater put together resources for restaurants about how to handle ICE raids
