These athletes are out and proud and representing the United States!

Virginia did NOT start this, but we are going to finish it. We must to TURN OUT AND VOTE YES for our Redistricting Amendment on Tuesday, April 21. #virginia #vote #redistricting

To everyone just now finding out Isaac Asimov was rather famously a sex pest: He's been gone 34 years now, you can handle this truth, I believe in you

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

it’s not necessarily that all these people in the epstein files participated in the raping of girls it’s that none of them cared and if he hadn’t been arrested and died they’d still be out there trying to be his friend

RAND PAUL: If a country bombed our air defense missiles, captured & removed our president, & blockaded our country, would that be considered an act of war? RUBIO: We just don't believe this operation comes anywhere close to the constitutional definition PAUL: Of course it would be an act of war!

My god, Alex Honnold actually climbed Taipei 101 free solo. He did it.

-5°F in Minneapolis tonight. At the site where feds killed Alex Pretti, the air still smells faintly of tear gas. Hundreds of people still here behind some impromptu barricades. Message spray painted on the road reads, "fuck ICE, love always wins."

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc... Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

It has been confirmed that Alex was a lawful gun owner and did not threaten ICE with a weapon. Early video reports indicate the weapon was taken by ICE and shots were then fired to execute him.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"

Mood in minneapolis right now

This is really something. Mark Warner, one of the more moderate and cautious senators in the Dem caucus, says he'll vote No on ICE funding:

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

The guy that runs the Reddit where people post about patting their cat on the butt like bongos has put his foot down

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an ICU nurse. 😢💔🙏 He spent his life helping people, and now our government is peddling lies in an attempt to make you believe them.

Another Gestapo murder in Minnesota. Six agents wrestle someone to the ground and then shoot him in the back www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars. ictnews.org/news/north-c...

every time i log on something horrible is happening but also people are trying really hard to help

Hihi #portfolioday! I am a US based artist who largely sculpts these days. I primarily do figure sculpting, but sometimes a dragon or a critter make it in. Hoping to make it into the studio more this year. #ceramics #sculpture #queerart #sapphicart

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Jonathan Ross worked for Border Patrol before ICE

we’re in the vet’s office waiting room and they just called for Agamemnon. we all looked at the Great Dane but it turns out Agamemnon is an orange kitten in a backpack that makes him look like an astronaut cheese puff

Things are grim right now but as a reminder of who we are and why we fight, this is the US Women’s figuring skating champion.

Rep Omar: "It's really important for Americans to record, to create the level of transparency we need. What we have seen in Mpls is ICE agents oftentimes jumping out of unmarked cars wearing a mask. We know that DHS has lied repeatedly, so it is important for there to be recording from eyewitnesses"

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland. Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

The result of a figure sculpture workshop I took last month. Had a lot of fun and got to try some stuff I'm not used to. Chrome red over celadon glaze, on buff clay. #ceramics #sculpture #handmade #art #wueerart #queersculpture #sapphicart #figurestudy

Some experimental work in black clay, using the glazes available to me at the studio. #ceramics #art #sculpture #queerart #sapphicart #figurestudy #mushrooms

I made my friend a blanket for Christmas! I can see a lot of issues with it, and now I never want to knit a blanket again, but it was my first attempt to make something striped.

To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care: I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care.  Your health care is still legal and protected.  I'll always fight for you.

I made a hat! The Rock Cap by Veronica Wilson, with Quince & Co's Osprey yarn in "honey" color. #fiberarts #knitting #quinceandco #beanie

Struggling to get into the studio lately due to being sick and tired, took up knitting instead.

Little WIP from my last dip into the studio. #ceramics #sculpture #clay #art #queerart #sapphicart #sapphicceramics #queerceramics #fatart #fatceramics

Happy Trombone Tuesday from this painting of the exact moment she decided to ask Worf if he had any dinner plans

Presenting the BRAND-NEW season - @dimension20.bsky.social On a Bus! 🚌 DM'd by Katie Marovitch, and as players: Aabria Iyengar, Brennan Lee Mulligan, Jasmine Bhullar, and Mark Mercer!

I'd planned to make flowers to attach to this vase, but she'd dried too much by the time I got back to her. So, carving it is! #ceramics #sculpture #figurestudy #queerart #sapphicart

Mermaid is nearly ready for bisque firing! FINALLY. I love her belly and hair 🥰 #ceramics #sculpture #mermaid #mermaidart #queerart #sapphicart #hollowingthisoutwassoscary

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home. Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

“I know you think you’re being funny, but honestly Dave, it’s just hurtful.”

She has a head now!! Gotta wait for the clay to dry enough to trust the head will stay on, tho... #mermaid #ceramics #art #sculpture #queerart #sapphicart #laguna #b3brown

So proud to be a part of this amazing morning. Location ocean beach San Francisco #nokings

Trying something new? She's not nearly done yet, still got a lot of work to do but I needed to let her dry enough to be able to work on other stuff without worrying about breaking her 😂 #sculpture #mermaid #ceramics #queerart #sapphicart

Different angle on the vase because the color wasn't picking up well in the previous pictures.
