Watch an ICE agent pepper spray a legal observer who's just standing there youtu.be/kInWU2S1LMw?...

When did making kids go hungry become a Christian value?

Our new health insurance premium feels more like a shakedown‼️ Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social , for sharing your story. You’re right—there are millions like you. Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No. 1/2

It's plain to see that skeletons can't hold their liquor.

Law firms have an established duty to uphold the integrity of the system they work in, not only for their own benefit but for the benefit of society. If more of them had stood up to Trump, they might have curbed his lawlessness.

The SLO County DA treats bomb threats against synagogues as a hate crime, but dismisses shredding and trashing a Pride flag as a mere misdemeanor property crime. The hate crime classification seems to depend on the identity of the victim. www.sanluisobispo.com/news/local/c...

Reminder that when Department of Pre-Crime officers (or any law enforcement) knock on your door, you do not have to open it and you do not have to talk to them. #knowyourrights

Spotify customer service is immediately ending conversations if you ask about them airing ICE advertisements on the platform. Cancel your Spotify subscription. #BoycottSpotify

Why yes it does. But the sheriff insisted he doesn't. On the 28th hear him lie once again, this time to the League of Women Voters. www.lwvslo.org/content.aspx...

Sounds like the Sheriff's Office violated state law.

I typed "Gulf of Mexico" into Google Maps and it autocorrected to the ridiculous Trumpism "Gulf of America." Google has disabled posting and deleted all reviews but one, and I'm sure many besides mine referred correctly to the Gulf of Mexico. The oligarchs bow down low before their King.

We need to replace ICE with NICE! substack.com/@franann61/n...

Where is DOGE now?!

Yay, freedom! So wrong to keep such intelligence imprisoned for human amusement.

idk if there's a ~perfect~ replacement for digital music apps, but I signed up for Tidal, used TuneMyMusic to move thousands of songs from my Spotify account to Tidal and then deleted my Spotify account. The whole process took about 15 minutes. I just want all artists to be fairly compensated.

Let's give Spotify the Disney treatment.

American institutions don't crumble. But they can be destroyed.

No taxation without representation. California needs to create an escrow account to hold federal taxes before they are passed on, and if the administration tries to take away legally appropriated funds, we pull from the escrow account.

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Trump may launch missiles from warships into California this Friday and Saturday as part of what is being described as a “vanity parade” and shut down portions of the I-5 during the No Kings protests meidasnews.com/news/exclusi...

ICE spent $800K on vans with stingray tech that collects data from all nearby phones, even yours. These devices mimic cell towers to track locations and intercept communications. Oversight and transparency are needed now.

If you’re a Californian and think a business isn’t obeying the CCPA, you should tell someone who can do something about it. Here's how: www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

I'm running out of places to put them now...

ICE is attacking legal observers in Chicago. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

My pharmacy is still using a covid vaccine flyer from the olden days, when the CDC followed scientific recommendations and not the dictates of a brain-worm addled idiot.

JRR Tolkien has a message for us: Don't give in to despair; don't give in to Trump. https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/trump-sauron-tolkien-hope-despair/?utm_campaign=SproutSocial&utm_content=The+Nation+Magazine&utm_medium=social&utm_source=bluesky

I was privileged to meet Dr. Goodall after she spoke to a large audience about the Roots & Shoots program, which empowers young people to affect positive change in their communities. Truly an inspirational human being.

Take note, folks in the hinterlands!

I don't use the term "illiberal democracy," as it's an oxymoron. Without liberal institutions to enforce its core principles, democracy is meaningless. I use the phrase "competitive authoritarianism," which is what exists in Hungary, Turkey, etc. Those are the models of where the US is headed.

The world lost an inspiring voice today. 😢

Why are our public buildings and funds being used for a religious service and platform for anti-trans bigotry?!

Narda surf

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

If only they’d also done that when Trump came to the podium.

I'm playing to raise funds for @ppccaf.bsky.social. They've just had a massive funding cut thanks to the forced birth regime. www.newtimesslo.com/news-2/calif...

Be an upstander, not a bystander.

My representative @carbajal.house.gov voted "present" 🙄 We didn't elect you to warm a seat - take a stand!

We brought smiles to the seniors at Alder House assisted living this afternoon!

Prosecutors not consulting victims - that happens in SLO County too, in 2025.

Absolutely it should not be used on peaceful protestors. Or anyone, for that matter.

I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee
