@acornpark.bsky.social and I have been working on this project for a few months now and I'm stoked to share it with you! once again, Marylanders say housing prices are a problem and support reforms that the General Assembly is considering *right now*–

"This pattern doesn’t just affect undocumented immigrants. Mixed-status families – where some members are citizens and some are not – show how fear spreads. Even a legally protected citizen adjusts their daily life with caution and self-censorship..." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

That still from "American Beauty" was a choice, and that choice is telling in you, Hanania... (Also: 🧵)

More cardinals! Look at this lovely boy! #birds #photography #birdsofbluesky

Cardinals are soooo hard to get in flight because they are fast. But I got this gorgeous boy as it was taking off from a branch towards the ground. Evergreen trees in the background. #birds #photography #birdsofbluesky

I asked this great blue heron why he hadn't gone South for the winter. This is the look he gave me.😂 #birds #photography #birdsofbluesky

The entire conservative movement wants older men to be able to have sex with teenage girls and the only difference between Richard Hanania and the rest of them is that Richard Hanania is too stupid not to be honest about it

If you are in search of how to do some good in these fascist times, this free virtual series starts tomorrow: Beyond Borders & Boxes: Building LGBTQ+ & Migrant Solidarity "Immigrant rights, & the ability for every person to move freely & belong, are deeply connected to queer & trans liberation." 🫂

Soooo.... Jill Biden's ex-husband doesnt have a name? Somebody she divorced 50 years ago is named "Jill Biden's husband?" Always pay attention to the way media intentionally frames things

All of this! Every word of it!

A) this is a mass movement B) No arson required

Madiba is one of the finest public intellectuals of the age. Her book is part scathing indictment of conservative jurisprudence and part joyous call to action. It’s brilliant, principled, and honest. Alito wishes he were her. Read it. Dog ear it. Buy it for a friend. bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

Ugghhhhhh, this one hurts

I spent my lunch hour with about two dozen northern cardinals. I'll post some more tomorrow, but this one is by far my favorite. It's looking for food. #birds #photography #birdsofbluesky

It hasn't escaped the judiciary's notice that the Trump regime tries to govern by posting.

And not to put too fine a point on it, but a president who ran on eliminating “illegal” immigrants created a ton more “illegal” immigrants by canceling a bunch of actual real legal statuses. He took people off the path that everyone says they want people on.

I genuinely have no idea how to convey this to the American people, but I think the biggest impediment to any kind of immigration reform is that people are convinced that "legal" and "illegal" are immutable, intrinsic categories instead of a rapidly-shifting arbitrary constellation of regulations.

Honestly I just hope for a day where we can study cPTSD in autistic people, because that means we've finally found an un-traumatized autistic person.

Can you imagine a future where we are no longer trying to prevent Autistic People from being born, where Autistic people are fully included and supported?

It's a start. At the same time there's more work to do to free the other children (among others)

Being a survivor yourself does not excuse you from your transphobia, Joanna. Or this. You are a flamin' hypocrite...

This is who runs the account.

The specific targeting for detention and expulsion of individual ethnic groups is something that Americans both realize is part of our history and something that Americans reject as un-American.

listen here you stupid leftoid, if you just voted blue in 2024, ICE would be ruining the lives of immigrant families quietly and efficiently in a way where we wouldn't have to hear about it on the news

this country’s hatred of children, and its outright savagery toward the children of marginalized communities, predates MAGA. It predates the founding of the republic.

Kavanaugh Stop

How shocking. The Sunday Herald, 21 May 2000:

2008: Epstein is convicted of procuring a minor for prostitution 2018: Despite that conviction, [files indicate] he was invited by Rowling’s team - along with a guest of his choosing - to the Broadway opening of Harry Potter and the private after-party Protecting women and children, is it?
