Rose (@rose_d_luna) on Threads Well, my bio just got removed from the NASA site because of an order that went out to remove stuff about women in STEM. I've only been on Threads for a full year, so a lot of people here never heard ...

Here is Rose’s post on Threads about it www.threads.net/@rose_d_luna...

Lansing, Michigan

All The Federal Lawsuits Related to Trump Admin Executive Orders We put them all in one place.

of course! & to anyone else that sees this, I know times are tough, but if you're able, please do what you can to support the NLG. They go above and beyond for activists and are a necessary component to our continued safety!

absolutely!

& if arrested, or in any police interaction-- SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP.

(6) Since this is a national protest, it's likely that the cops will be on edge (more than usual). If you are injured and require medical care, do not tell the hospital staff you were at the protest. Lie, lie, lie.

hope to see y'all there! Stay safe!

(5) have access to your cell. There will likely be national guard and swat presence. Ignore, don't aggitate. Dress in black block & wear shoes that you can run in if you need to flee. Mask up - prevent the spread of illness and support group anonymity.

National Lawyers Guild, Detroit and Michigan Chapter Law for the People: Valuing human rights and ecosystems over property interests. Legal arm of social justice movements.

(4) the national lawyers guild is an important resource in the event of arrest. www.michigannlg.org write this number on your arm: (313) 925-2626. This is the MI legal hotline. Bring a sharpie and share the # with those walking next to you. Don't just keep it in your phone. If arrested, you won't

(3) take the streets, but be mindful that michigan has a large nazi/white nationalist presence. In 2020, a woman drove her car through the crowd starting at sparrow, and didn't stop until Washington Ave. The cops protected her and her car. Police are not on our side, not even for a moment.

(2) kids, teens, black, brown, and trans comrades will be present. All the more reason to keep things peaceful. I'm all for smashing the state, but please be mindful of the political climate and the real danger of arrest for ppl that aren't palm colored and cisgender.

(1) since this doesn't appear to be headed by any local activist groups, I wanted to remind folx of a few things: in 2020 (blm protest) when we marched from grand river in east lansing to the capitol, there was a long pause in front of target due to national raids. stay focused, no side quests.

I think of this video often. We shouldn’t be fighting the same fight. Waiting for comfort and decorum isn’t the way. Progress happens when you don’t stop.

It's only Day 2 ffs and the American press sounds already sounds like this

CBS 58 weather reporter Sam Kuffel is out after criticizing Elon Musk arm gesture Meteorologist Sam Kuffel criticized Elon Musk on social media for his straight-arm gesture some likened to a Nazi salute at the Trump inauguration.

A Milwaukee TV weather forecaster was dropped by her station a day after she criticized Elon Musk for his Nazi salute

READING ALOUD CHANGES CHILDREN'S LIVES FOREVER! Just 10 minutes a day can be enough to help them find the love of books, and become lifelong readers. So whatever else you do, always find the time to read aloud – and the more you do, the better! #literacy #reading #books

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget

I'm in this photo and I don't like it

on this note, the Ⓐ cookbook lists detailed instructions on how to make one of these bad boys, but they missed the mark on sealing the bottle properly. After many failed attempts, my partner found that the answer is playdoh. Something to keep in mind and keep handy...just in case.

100%

If you really want to encounter a lot of views different from your own, go read some books. You don’t need right wing assholes screaming at you on social media for that. This can just be a place where you chill.

Post: Freddy Mercury died of AIDS 33 years ago today. With modern medical technology, he likely would have lived. Never forget how much progress against major infectious disease has been made in a short time. We are at risk now of rolling back much of that progress.

We’re not going back.

We’ve had viable solutions for mobility both within & between cities for a long time, like high-speed rail, prioritized public transit and networks of protected bike-lanes. We need leadership. And we need to stop letting “shiny new tech” distract us from implementing them. Image via UrbanThoughts11

Makes me sad re-reading this amazing letter from ex-Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox sent to high school seniors in 1994 after they asked him “What should Americans learn from Watergate?” 20 years later in ‘94.

His answer is remarkable—unfortunately things didn’t work out so well in 2024.

US right wing hypocrisy

Many In Gaza Eat Just Once A Day, As Israel's Aid Blockade Worsens Hunger Crisis The amount of food Israel has let into Gaza the past seven weeks has plummeted to nearly the war's lowest levels, causing Palestinian families to starve.

“The US warned Israel in Oct that it might be forced to curtail some of its crucial military support if Israel did not rapidly ramp up the amount of aid entering Gaza. But after the 30-day ultimatum expired, the Biden administration declined to take any action, saying there had been some progress.”

Incredible that the US government does more to protect Netanyahu from the consequences of his crimes than it does protecting the US people from Trump or his crimes.

brilliant!

the long walk at 9 or 10. His Bachman books have always been my favorites. "He had locked himself safely away in a place beyond pain."

my childhood was riddled with pain and abuse. King's work kept me sane.
