People don’t talk enough about principled conflict. I don’t want to simply resolve conflict to be able to sit around more comfortably in something, but if I’m gonna work through conflict w/ people, I want it to be the kind of transformative fire that makes all of us stronger on the other side of it.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

There’s a guy out here singing karaoke as “Maui Bob” and saying “aloha” to everyone but didn’t even acknowledge my CHEEEEEE HUUUUU. RUDE. 😒

Ohhhh yikes that is not fun especially if you’re trying to connect with specific people. Reading this now, Ive never been so grateful I was able to keep my mouth shut on the internet long enough for people to forget I existed.

I’ve been so excited to see you yappin away on here, it feels like OG social media but also like hanging out with Pasifika homies in the living room at home 🥹🥹🥹🥹

MANIFESTING THIS. 👀 💖✨

Should I take up ventriloquism as a new hobby? 👀

OMG. You and Twista are out here INSPIRING me. 😍

WHAT?!? *Lil Jon voice*

I’m hella excited to learn this, thank you!! 🤗

Someone told me Bsky is a place for lurking, but not for engaging. I don’t think this is the case at all, but rather a reflection of what people have their eyes open to on this platform. I’m curious what other people’s takes are on how they experience the “social” in Bsky as a social media platform.

love this for you!

Meditation albums?!

Solid thread & analysis from @waisn.bsky.social on the immigrant firefighters in WA. I just did a Rapid Response training with WAISN last night and highly recommend it to anyone in Washington who’s looking to learn more about your rights & how to protect our communities.

Ohhhh…Do people not realize the level of not good this is?

He loves Portland too much 🥲

I’m glad to see Dame back but I so desperately want a new head coach bc I’m not a fan of the dude

A girl can dream 😅 But if not, I guess Phil Knight can swoop up this team. Ideally, I’d love for the Blazers to be publically owned a la Green Bay Packers since that would represent the spirit of the city incredibly well.

Ok it’s time I bring my #RipCity roots over to Bsky. I’m hopeful but nervous about this bc I will sob myself to dehydration if the Blazers leave Portland, HOWEVERRRRR this is the perfect opportunity for Dame to buy the team and get the Blazers championship ring he deserves 🥺

May 8, 2025, 6:37 PM EDT By Kimmy Yam and Laura Strickler A Filipino immigrant detained in Texas described being woken up at 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday by armed guards in tactical gear, being told he was being sent to Libya, and then waiting for hours on a bus at a military base outside a military plane, his lawyer said. The flight never took off and he was sent back to solitary confinement in the Texas facility along with the other 12 detainees, mostly from Asian countries, the immigrant's lawyer, Johnny Sinodis, told NBC News. The immigrant requested anonymity due to fear of retaliation. The immigrants, including people from the Philippines, Vietnam, Laos and Mexico, would later learn that their attorneys filed an emergency motion after reports that the Trump administration had planned to send a group of immigrants to Libya.

NEW: @nbcnews.com confirmed last night that the Trump admin almost sent a dozen men from Vietnam, the Philippines, Laos, and Mexico to Libya, a country described as a “hellscape” for migrants where some have been SOLD INTO SLAVERY and many have been subjected to extraordinary horrors.

The most poignant thing I’ve heard at this MGP town hall today from a community member on a megaphone: “This is not about left and right. This is about top & bottom.”

Raise that class consciousness, my guy.

For anyone in #VanWA at the MGP town hall right now! Take note!

Representative Marie Glusenkamp Perez on stage at a town hall meeting in Centralia, WA.

Over 250 people at @gluesenkampperez.house.gov town hall in Centralia, WA. The crowd is furious with her avoiding answers and standing with the right. @maddow.msnbc.com this is a purple district and folks are mad.

Took my first spin class this morning…I will report back when the soreness kicks in and I feel muscles I didn’t know I had 😂

And THIS
*gestures broadly at Shumer, Durbin, Jeffries, Pelosi, Newsom and myriad other Dems at all levels mask off supporting the obvious fascism*

Is why "vote blue no matter who" is a horrible strategy which also enables fascist fuckery.
Any government w/o accountability to the public will rot.

YES PLEASE I LOVE THIS.

I need to know: in your opinion, what is the best form of salmon?

If anyone’s looking for a place to start there’s a map of global in-person and virtual events at tinyurl.com/hourofaction. There’s instructions on how you can start w/ an hour of action for collective liberation & resources on how things in the US are connected to injustice in Gaza & beyond.
