Listen to Black women… “The attacks are not random. They seem designed to intimidate those of us who serve in this critical capacity” “The threats & harassment are attacks on our democracy, on our system of government. And they ultimately risk undermining our Constitution & the rule of law” - KBJ

Thank again @jbic.bsky.social for this. What a stunning leader of peace and dignity he was…; may his words here coat our present days with wise perseverance that I for one so need.

…well discerned & historically attributed; his essay educates with precision & humility.

All human hearts deserve liberation from poverty. #popefrancis #goodwill #humanity Quote from his Evangelii Gaudium (section 202) www.vatican.va/content/fran... Image quote per @occupydemocrats.bsky.social

Mahmoud Khalil Rümeysa Öztürk Mohsen Mahdawi Alireza Doroudi Kseniia Petrova Kilmar Ábrego García Andry José Hernández Romero + 100s More Deported. Disappeared. Dehumanized. Don’t forget their names & don’t look away. Keep fighting until justice is served & every abuse of power is held to account.

Do you have a sense of you? ….seeking hilarity from DC…. please share anything ha ha funny from your world (but not mocking!).

A tender loving moment of shared dignity. (…thank you @lorihjschaffer.bsky.social for sharing this photo; I’m a Catholic convert since a few years back and so admire Pope Francis, & his humble strength to recognize & affirm holiness in people.)

Rrrrrrrreally loving this well-anchored reminder by @bradstulberg.bsky.social

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

now in #nyc for afternoon momentum + perseverance in sync in the streets @50501movement.bsky.social #handsoff #liberty for all #handsoff In Your mercy help us persevere

Really appreciate your sense of community @northjules.bsky.social your + blue-💙-encouragement to me as a newbie here. …Ongoing thanks + big hello #bluecrew!

I keep savoring gratefulness for these friends + #storytellimg community: their courage + realness to get at the truth…to not run from it but build the truth up even when it may unsettle emotions or ego.

Loving @thebulwark.bsky.social x infinity.

To all lovers of democratic liberty & how honoring the law secures it: what he says is volcanically massively vital. Scary fragile cliff = domino effect of executive abuse of power + defiance of Supreme Court in context of Mr. Garcia. Thanks for asserting this @chrismurphyct.bsky.social.

Hosting a story salon with wonderful friends today!! …We gather for breakfast treats and respond to a thematic question. Today’s thematic question is: “what experience in your life has inspired you to champion the truth?”

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

All volumes of AMEN @brainnotonyet.bsky.social — thx for lifting this up #handsoff #voice #resist

Finally starting to read @timothysnyder.bsky.social’s “On Tyrrany.” Have you read it? ….ultra motivated by today’s protesting with #handsoff #dc #resist

Yes Rev Dr King may we hear you anew w/ the will to get rid of poverty, get rid of homelessness, get rid of out-of-reach education, get rid of oligarchic structures — so that every person here can live liberty in the full. #dc #resist #protest #handsoff

Inspired by @pappyparki.bsky.social ‘s data here (would you share more insight on the 3.5%?). Loving the momentum across the country today. It feels GAME ON and unified #dc #protest #resist #handsoff
