Portland, Oregon. The request by Occupy Democrats was to share this video far and wide. So l'm doing that. This escalation is illegal. We must exercise our right to peacefully protest the illegal actions of the govt. I look forward to the day of justice for all of these fuckers.

Federal agents hurled tear gas at people on a busy Logan Square street, outside a grocery store and near an elementary school.

Reckless, undertrained ICE hires are a danger to everyone. This is terrorism against US citizens.

"F*ck that, that's not a strategy....If your strategy for stopping fascism is to hope that a few Republicans in Congress find a conscience or a spine, then get the hell out of here."

Me on the useless Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries.

This is the political violence that the right finds acceptable

Well this has aged well

A page from the Merriam-Webster online dictionary showing the word "fascism" and its definition as follows: 1. often Fascism: a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government, headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition. Following the definition is an example of the word "fascism" in use. It is a quote, and it reads: "At the core of fascism is loyalty to tribe, ethnic identity, religion, tradition, or, in a word, nation." The quote is attributed to Jason Stanley.

The only thing missing is a picture of a red hat.

Don’t you dare call us fascists, they say, as they force people off the airwaves for criticizing them while vowing to crush and criminalize their opposition.

Hey in his defense at least he didn’t quote Charlie Kirk verbatim cuz that would be unacceptable 🤠

“You can’t bomb the truth away”

My full speech at Wembley Arena tonight, in London, to 12,000 people at the Together for Palestine concert, paying tribute to murdered Palestinian journalists and their bravery, and calling out the silence and complicity of Western media.

World’s cutest homegrown jalapeño peppers.

For the record, I’m ANTI antipasto, the anti-Christ AND fascism. If you’re pro antipasto, let’s agree to disagree; if you’re pro- fascism you’re prolly a shitty human.

Yesterday’s yard bouquet

Harvested these yummy grapes I’ve been growing in my small yard and I’m making wine now. About 35lbs in total, my biggest crop to date.

Some days it feels like he’s projecting

Hey. I just quit the Tickity Tok and I now have the shakes. Also I’m sick of this timeline.

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war!

How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

- French Connection
- Royal Tenanbaums
- Unforgiven

There are many more, but, damn, he was also so good.

This is my political hot take for the month.

Kendrick Lamar would make an incredible US Senator.

If anything seeing him filibuster a bill for an hour on the floor would be amazing.

A Terrible Milestone in the American Presidency Trump switches sides in the war for freedom.

“This week, Donald Trump falsely accused Ukraine of starting a war against a much larger neighbor,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes. “The U.S. president has now chosen to throw America to Putin’s side … Repeating lies, however, does not make them true.”

Wiki for details of temporary injunction granted by judge Paul Engelmayer.

The Republicans are going to try to impeach the federal judges doing their job of checks and balances.

YouTube video by Parkrose Permaculture Take the initiative! We are capable of saving ourselves.

If I could offer one word of encouragement today, it would be a reminder that we are capable, creative people. We don't have to wait for someone to tell us what to do. Go search up how to connect. Move. We can take the initiative. We can be go-getters. We are the authors of our own liberation.

I’m grateful for this morning’s hummingbirds #smallthings

A lifetime of rewatching 80s underdog movies lead me to expect more comeuppance for rich people
