Fix Your Hearts or Die It's a invitation, not a threat. The path to liberation for lonely men is feminism.

"Loneliness *is* a problem. I am inviting you to contemplate how frequently it is treated as a problem for men and only for men, to be solved by everyone else, by doing work on their behalf that can only ever be considered repair if they do it themselves."

Protesters on Gorman Rd overpass over I-95 in North Laurel, MD with large letter sign that reads BLACK HISTORY MATTERS!

Black History Matters! HELL YES IT DOES. @visibilitybrigade.bsky.social

The U.S. Drought Portal | Drought.gov Stay informed with real-time drought data, forecasts, and planning tools at Drought.gov - your resource for understanding and preparing for droughts nationwide.

As of last update on 2/10, Drought.gov shows DMV as under a severe drought. Will melting snow and recent rain replenish the water table enough to pull us up to abnormally dry or normal?

Use the powerful tool created by @projectsaltbox.bsky.social to locate planned ICE detention facilities in your area. And declare publicly—ideally from a nearby overpass!—that you don’t want iceholes in your state.

Do not obey in advance.

Don’t shrink yourself, don’t censor yourself, don’t count yourself out, don’t change your company’s policies, don’t purge your research program, don’t modify your language, don’t sit back when you want to speak up.

This is OUR America. We don’t do all that here.

I too dream of other things like playing in pinball tournaments and solo kayaking but can’t because fascism.

Gorman Rd overpass over I-95 in North Laurel, MD with large protest message ICEHOLES OUT OF MD! and protestors—including one Pikachu.

The planned Hagerstown, MD ICE detention facility and what we mere mortals can do to prevent the plans moving forward.

I will never understand why, with so much information at our fingertips and the ability to search for it ourselves, anyone needs AI as an intermediary to muck everything up. You can also learn a lot by asking real, knowledgeable people, and not wonky, lake-draining formulae owned by rich fascists.

Gorman Rd overpass over I-95 in North Laurel, MD today with protest message “Chinga La Migra” and protesters waving flags.

CHINGA LA MIGRA. It’s hard for me to describe how much defiant joy sprung from today’s overpass message. Passengers hanging out the window whooping and hollering. Someone waving their hard hat. Many genuine smiles. @visibilitybrigade.bsky.social

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

I think one of the best things about Bad Bunny’s performance is that it was so *specific*. It so clearly had a point of view coming from real lived experience and actual emotion, actual heart, not cynical calculation. Just beautiful.

Rogue Squadron and friends braved high wind and wind chill warnings for a 2-hr Bridge and Brunch at Gorman Rd overpass over I-95. The flags flapped furiously as we waved and danced to a predominantly punk playlist.

🚘🚛 Today we began our PROTEST MARATHON—the first of 8 days of action, determination, and fun at Gorman Rd! The "Olympics" opening was a hoot, with 45+ folks; the photos tell our story! See the poster below for our overpass times on the days ahead!🍃

Cyndi Lauper or GTFO.

(You know what else, though? Idris Elba.)

A billionaire cabal of Thiel, Musk, and Trump is systematically dismantling our democracy and stripping away our fundamental rights. This isn't just greed; it’s a coordinated assault on Western liberty for personal profit. They are the primary threat to our future, and they must be stopped now.

btw vote out Schumer, he’s controlled opposition

Screenshot of a map and table listing ICE warehouse purchase data.

🚨 New: We built a visual tracker of the warehouses ICE is targeting across the US.

Working off an idea from @actualkatherine.bsky.social, we’ve mapped active searches, canceled deals, and linked state property records.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Small, committed groups taking down big things. (Your turn!)

The Washington Post dies in broad daylight.

Good morning, Show up, speak out, and leave the community better than you found it this morning.

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

DUNGENESS For Derek. Sacrificed for sexuality Martyred naked And in Latin A shattering of silence For the Silver Jubilee Roving Slits And Dr Dee And sometime between Caravaggio and Wittgenstein I found your diaries Of cottaging shrines On Hampstead Heath Hungry Passions Al Fresco Wanking And then back to the sea To confound the impossibility Of growing in the salty On the stony bony beach Declared desolate by passers-by You fertilised Put flesh upon the skeleton Revivified As you yourself were dying You found beauty Where others voiced disgust In everything they considered "ugly" "dreadful", "sinful" I see your naughty impish dignity * 44 * And then back to the sea To confound the impossibility Of growing in the salty On the stony bony beach Declared desolate by passers-by You fertilised Put flesh upon the skeleton Revivified As you yourself were dying You found beauty Where others voiced disgust In everything they considered "ugly" "dreadful", "sinful" I see your naughty impish dignity * 44 *

It is Derek Jarman’s birthday - he died at 52 from AIDS related illness - he left behind a vast cache of art and beauty - I wrote this on the way to Prospect Cottage #lgbtq #derekjarman #poetry

Audre Lorde, in a 1989 commencement address, said, "Remember this, despair is a tool of your enemies. That rumor, 'You can’t fight City Hall,' is circulated by City Hall. Facing the realities of our lives gives us the motivation for action, it gives us the power to change. You are not powerless."

US-Regierung: Wie der Widerstand gegen Maga eine Chance hat Der Minneapolis-Moment offenbart die Schwächen der Trumpisten. Und er zeigt, wo der Widerstand gegen den US-Präsidenten in Zukunft erfolgreich ansetzen kann.

The Trumpists will continue to escalate. But in Minneapolis, we can see the limits of MAGA’s assault.

Trump’s authoritarian desires are limitless. But his ability to impose them on America is not.
