Went for a 6-mile run today

I am currently on my way to another hearing regarding my federal charges for protesting ICE. When I say our leaders must be willing to put everything on the line, I mean it. And frankly, I see it as the bare minimum in this moment.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

“Imagine how they lie when there’s no evidence to contradict them.” Watch this powerful message from Jon Stewart.

Hey look … he told the truth. 🚨

Alex Pretti's Phone Is What ICE IS Afraid Of; The Truth......

Edith Clarke, the first female electrical engineer in the US, invented a calculator (the Clarke calculator) to solve electric power transmission problems, a precursor to modern smart grid technology. It was patented in 1925. #WomenInSTEM It's International Day of #CleanEnergy!

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS. Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies. AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS. Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

Bovino says they will never tell us which agents killed Alex Pretti— and they will keep working the streets.

not for nothing but if you live alone with your pets it’s a great time to get a keychain, wallet card + add a message to your phone’s medical info about your pet being home alone

Our cat just expressed to me, in most eloquent feline body language: You're an idiot primate, so we'll do this real simple like. I'm going to be cute and when you pet me, get closer to the treat area and then be cute some more, and eventually you will realize I want a treat. Ok? Ok. Here we go"

I know despair is not helpful, but boy it's hard not to give in #catsky #catsofbluesky

I swear to god some of these corporate news outlets would open a window right now and say “We can’t confirm it, but it appears that the ground is allegedly being snowed upon.”

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon. wapo.st/49Zqv1L

Wait waIt wait...but Kyle Rittenhouse

Hey NRA, are you good with this? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

English writer Virginia Woolf was born #OTD in 1882. Woolf is considered one of the most important modernist 20th-century authors and a pioneer in the use of stream of consciousness as a narrative device. #literature #litsky #booksky newyorker.com/magazine/195...

🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: This week alone, the Russians have launched more than 1,700 attack drones, over 1,380 guided aerial bombs, and 69 missiles of various types. Every massive attack by Russia can become devastating. That is why missiles for air defense systems are needed every day.

“Shot dead” is passive. “murdered” names the actor. Words matter, especially when the state is pulling the trigger.

On this grim #Caturday, Tallulah extends her big floofy paw in blessing to all who love their neighbor, all who help the hungry, the needy, all who fight for the oppressed. I'm signing off for a bit to go do some rage cleaning, y'all stay safe, warm, and watchful.

TW ⚠️ The stabilized version is brutal.

This is Alex Pretti.

🚨 Breaking from the US Senator for Connecticut. 👇 There you have it. ICE has never been about immigration enforcement. It's a weapon used to brutalize Americans and stoke enough fear so that Trump can rig the elections and usher in dictatorship.

Anyone thinking of going to the Olympics or World Cup, don't Every country should be having a very serious think about the safety of athletes, players, officials and fans. It's morally wrong to go and give affirmation to the regime in the US Every day gets more disgusting, ENOUGH

If you think American citizens should be summarily executed by masked federal agents, you’re not a patriot. If you think the lawless goons loyal to our demented pedophile criminal president are greater than the people of Minnesota, you’re not a patriot. You’re a fucking Nazi.

I come back to one thing right now. Believe Black folk. When we warned about abusive and trigger-happy “law enforcement”… When we pointed out the hypocrisy of the Second Amendment evangelists… When we said gutting the Voting Rights Act was ominous… BELIEVE BLACK FOLK. At least most of us…

Please share. 💔

If you’re able, please support this verified GoFundMe for Alex Pretti’s family. And if you’re not in a position to donate, sharing it far and wide matters just as much. It’s at $300K and counting.

This is who the Whittier neighborhood in Minneapolis is named for

The reason we suddenly stopped hearing about the revolution in Iran is because the regime has enforced a blackout, cutting the country off from the rest of the world. The reality is that innocent Persians are being massacred by the thousands right now and nobody knows it. 😔

BREAKING: The ayatollah of Iran says he is weighing up the possibility of a war of liberation if ICE agents don't stop murdering peaceful protesters in the US

Human says there is so much going on we need to post this picture of me in a paper bag. Happy #caturday my friends. ❤️🫒❤️Olive #catsofbluesky

The nurses are pissed

Sunset-photo mental health break: I don't think I've seen such clearly defined holes in a cloud. Also, love that little flashlight coming through just left of center, beaming a cone of sunset onto the desert. Please try to get some sleep. ❤️💪
