I will pull the stars from the #dark and weave them into a crown. You won't be able to see it until twilight, but oh— I will know #vss365

It's already ILLEGAL for non-citizens to vote. This voter suppression bill—the "Save America Act"—solves a non-existent problem while disenfranchising millions of actual citizens. It's a lie from start to finish. #StopTheSaveAct social.demcast.com/s/U03PGxgZ

I built walls around it, stacking stones that can't contain so much creeping water, this #sneaking #ache that seeps through the life I have built around it. #vss365 #thingstowriteabout

Our administration is clearly pro-butter stealing, as the cat has been getting away with it for years. He's now expanded to cheese stealing. When will it end!

If you said "that was great" after the Bad Bunny performance, Google has provided your information to DHS

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

Catching the last bit of #sunlight at Joshua Tree National Park for #blueskyartshow Happy Saturday everyone!

one thing i always look for in a currency is the capacity to lose 15% of its value in response to nothing in particular

My quick contribution for #PoemsAbout #mouths — had me thinking about communication, the things we want to say but can't. It's been a while since I participated! Trying to get back into the swing of things after some life stuff. Looking forward to reading everyone's lovely poems!

Quiet day #snow

Before the #lambent flames there was gathering gathering people gathering branches Before the lambent flames there was cold cold hands cold fronts It began with a sputter, coughing smoke spark flash, flash gold And for a moment It roared #vss365

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

I got in SO MUCH trouble for this hugely viral tweet back in 2018 (from MAGA types mostly) but I stand by it (and in fact at the time the Auschwitz Museum defended me when people yelled at me that Auschwitz was a “death camp” not a concentration camp). My DENTIST congratulated me for this one

"I just think there were a few typos. When it comes to choosing whether or not to resist authoritarianism, I believe Snyder meant to write, 'Do not! Obey in advance!'" Barely satire given everything that has happened in the one year since this was first published

"The gun groups can’t risk condemning the politicians who have worked for decades to weaken gun regulations, all so another 129 Americans can die today to protect gun owners against tyranny they apparently happily support so long as it is delivered unto liberals." — @schaller67.bsky.social

He couldn't be found in the usual places so I started to look where lost things go. If I were a filmmaker the camera would find you a tight zoom and then the wide shot: nobody here but ghosts whistling into the wind. #fromoneline

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Ocean Beach this morning… just wow!!

Unusual cloud formation we saw last summer #blueskyartshow #clouds

In solidarity with all those standing up for our communities against the brutality of immigrant detention and ICE occupation, we're offering free ebooks of three crucial books about migrant justice and border abolition.

The phantom economy has many meanings. In England, a good ghost story is hard currency in a pub. It can be exchanged for ale. – #CJosiffe #Ghosts

Nice list of resources here! Turns out there are about 20 legal aid organizations in my area, plus all the Minneapolis orgs in this article

This new year is already slicing in with explosions, hunger, and death. I stir my worries into the syrup Appreciate this timely & tender poem from Deborrah Coor in Painted Pebble Lit Mag #poetry #writingcommunity paintedpebblelit.com/d-coor-makin...

A man assaulted Representative Ilhan Omar at her town hall, but she responded by dropping an f-bomb. Both sides need to tone things down. Coming tomorrow, by someone who thinks of themself as a serious person.

I don't remember how I found this collection, but right now I'm really enjoying revisiting this selection of zines on activism & resistance #abolishice #zine airtable.com/appY7WyBFjSz...

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Trump is giving a deranged, rambling monologue in Davos to an audience stunned into silence. He sounds incredibly tired, his voice raspy; he keeps trailing off into long pauses. It's jaw-dropping. The sanewashing headlines are going to say "Trump Doubles Down On Greenland Demand In Davos Speech"

Asked if we can take it for granted that the US is an ally of Europe, he says “unfortunately, not”. “I would like to confirm that they are an ally, but then they have to behave like an ally.”

And there it is. All your fault, Minnesota, that there will be no midterm elections....

The ivy enfolded grave guardians of Ashcourt necropolis exist in lithic time. We flicker and fizz in their slow seeing. For the most part we hardly register. When we do, we are trespassing ghosts. Edge of eye phantoms moving against the speed of stone. – #CLNolan

I am pleased to announce that I have commandeered my neighbor's home. This home will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, to ensure it is used to benefit my neighbor and me! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Remember when a guy lost an election and then spent months making wild, baseless claims that it was stolen, leveraging the personality cult he’d built to try to get people to reject the results? And then thousands of his supporters rioted, injuring hundreds of cops? Whatever happened to that guy?

This is what oligarchy looks like.
