About 20 protesters have been arrested and transported. The mood amongst those arrested while we were with them was decently jovial. After the absolute brutal bullshit LAPD put us through, it was honestly a relief to check in and make sure folks were ok despite the circumstances

there are so many open layups and somehow dems can’t make them. republicans are literally pulling cancer treatment from children and they can’t message on that??? like what the fuck are we doing here

Here's a lovely photo of a plethora of my fabric art creatures. They're on green fur with a galaxy print fabric in the background. There's a black cosmic moth with a gray face, twinkly red eyes, and a wide smile full of sharp teeth. She's covered with embroidered stars and planets of various sizes and colors. There's a watermelon ghost covered with embroidered pink flowers sitting on a pink wire chair. There's a watermelon ghost bag and a small homunculus sitting on a pink and green striped chair. There's a tooth creature with a wide open mouth and four orange eyes and lavender eyeshadow. There's a black phantom with a gray face and wisps of every color of the rainbow.

I have some bills piling up, and a sale at my Big Cartel shop would be a massive help.

All of my creations are designed, hand-sewn, hand-embroidered by me. Each takes many hours to make.

The United States Governed by Six Hundred Thousand Despots Lost on the other side of the world since 1855, the story of John Swanson Jacobs finally returns to America. This comprehensive edition includes Jacobs's narrative in full alongside a full-length biog...

Holy heck.

So this guy in the 1850s escaped slavery, traveled the world, went to Australia, got his story of How Shitty Slavery Is published because in Australia he had more rights than even in the USA 'north', and then it got lost to time.

UNTIL IT GOT HAULED OUT OF THE ARCHIVES.

After an hour of fuckery, I am released, along with two others. 2 reporters still detained and potentially being transported.

I am tired and also livid. What a combination

He Came to the U.S. to Support His Sick Child. He Was Detained. Then He Disappeared. Like most of the more than 230 Venezuelan men deported to a Salvadoran prison, José Manuel Ramos Bastidas had followed U.S. immigration rules. Then Trump rewrote them.

Calling from a Texas detention center, José Manuel Ramos Bastidas told his wife to hit record:

“They detained me simply because of my tattoos. I am not a criminal.”

“Just in case something happens to me, so you can be aware.”

A month later, he was gone.

It's astonishing how much people who suggest that trans rights are just a political cost we simply can't afford right now sound like the people who didn't think fighting for integration was urgent enough to risk alienating voters. And these are people who would be HORRIFIED by that comparison.

You don’t know what you’ve got, ‘til it’s gone:

“…not just unkempt vegetation, but basic facility issues: pit toilets filled to the brim, no toilet paper, and trails blocked by downed trees. Hidden Lake, she said, is a well-loved, high-traffic route, making the disrepair even more concerning.”

Trump Is Building a Maximalist Government In a series of actions this week, the president sought to expand the government’s reach.

The New York Times uses the word “maximalist” because it’s afraid to use the word “dictatorship.”

If I could handle a second heeler mix in my life, this pup from the same rescue where we got PepperAnne is available, and they are calling her Pepper too!

Been awhile since I got an airplane in front of the moon. Tonight I got two, and one was even good! #SturgeonMoon

Some video from earlier, multiple journalists bloodied in the scrum. This is just 90 seconds of over 10 minutes of extremely aggressive LAPD response tonight

GLORIOUS PELICAN FOOTAGE OMG HOW IS THIS MY LIFE 😭😭🪶

LAPD came in to clear and several people have been injured

Seeing video from LA protests and people really need to:

1. Start masking

2. Start blurring peoples faces in media before sharing it

YouTube video by Noticias Telemundo Un nuevo anuncio antiinmigrante con Kristi Noem causa indignación en México | Noticias Telemundo

They even had the balls to put out a Spanish dubbed version because they wanna make sure everyone understands how psychopathic they are

YouTube video by Grupo REFORMA Spot antimigrante de EU se cuela a TV mexicana

Imagine chilling in your home country sitting down to have lunch with a YouTube video playing in the background and suddenly some plastic faced homunculi of a Hitlerian doll pops up to call you a wetback

That’s been the experience here for a while now

youtu.be/7QWXO2yDcwA?...

managed to get in touch with a human staffer when calling a senator's office today, and they said that regional offices have been getting calls about RFK's mRNA vaccine fuckery

keep it up with the calls, folks!

Except it looks like Mel’s been arrested. bsky.app/profile/melb...

Pick up Mel’s feed here: bsky.app/profile/melb...

This has devolved into LAPD insanity again. An anti ICE protest has turned LAPD army. TikTok is managing only a couple lives under the guise again as a concert so it doesn’t get pulled.

They’d every right to protest as DHS and ICE have begun ignoring the restraining order.

Kettle formed and then reoriented. Blocked off the highway exits. The occupation is trying to clean up and get away before the cops move in again.

LAPD seriously fucked us up earlier, I can’t tell but I’m told I took a baton lol. Can’t really tell tbh, this shit is ridiculous

Like absolutely wrecked us

LAPD fucked us all up, multiple journos bloodied, aggressive push, video when able

This is the biggest crowd I’ve seen here in at least a week, definitely a party. Folks are obviously upset that the raids have continued here in LA despite a federal judge restricting them.
