ICE broke the finger of a Reuters photojournalist today. After two days of drenching people in pepper spray, people have been adding more and more layers of protection, rendering the spray useless and leading to ICE using their short metal batons that they swing with full force.

I’m too depressed to create a pithy quote for this article here.

The Democrats’ botched 2024 autopsy doesn’t just leave out Gaza. It also simply pretends the left-populist upsurge embodied by Zohran Mamdani isn’t happening, while coveting its achievements.

They never like it when you ask them to explain the joke. (She blocked me. I think her name was Tori Foote. She’s got a big following and a very thin skin.)

Explain the joke, then?

I have had the deep misfortune to live in Wisconsin for over 20 years. This coastal gal never should have left the ocean. (not that I ever lived on it. But at least I lived within driving distance.) Sigh. 🌊☀️

I can’t believe that millions of people in the world are lucky enough to live by the ocean and I’m not one of them. 😞 #beachDay

I just did this. Downloaded the app, spent five minutes, made three calls to three representatives. Could not have been simpler. Make your voice heard and get this madman out of the office he never should’ve been in to begin with.

☎️ ☎️ If you are concerned of what Trump may do in Iran, contact your senators and reps now!! Easiest way is through the 5 Calls app on your phone. Super easy and only takes a few minutes. Your voice could help stop potential war crimes from being committed.

Same. And every day I wish I could cut them off again for each new atrocity. Even the dead ones. Wake em up, I’m not done.

My friends/family thought I was unreasonable for cutting people out of my life for voting for him. I think it was the most rational think I have done in my life.

I’m tired. Really fucking tired. Simple tasks are hard. Almost everyone is supremely terrible. I’m sick to the bone of them all. I am molecularly exhausted. And this is me medicated and in a better place in many ways than I’ve been in years. I’m just so tired.

COULD HE PLEASE JUST DIE.

Trump’s Easter Sunday message is to threaten war crimes against Iran unless they open a strait he said we don’t actually need opened since we’re now “independent” of the Middle East 🤔🤷🏼🐣

Please help this lawyer. The DHS working with LAPD, shot and blinded an 18 year old named Tucker Collins on 3/28 in LA. His right eye has been surgically removed. We are asking anyone who has a video or has information to come forward by calling our office (310-693-5561) Jim DeSimone

Downtown #SanJose, didn’t feel the #earthquake at all. But I sure felt the emergency alert going off in my ear at 1:42 am. 😑

I’m pretty sure the personal computer, the pocket calculator, and cellular technology still exist. So what exactly is the revolutionary technology invented this time, Katy Perry?

I guess some big expensive thing was shot into space today for no purpose other than to shoot a big expensive thing into space. I really don’t think humans should get better at landing on other worlds until they learn how to stop fucking up this one.

When #Gottmik walked out on the runway in this look, I felt its power in my soul. Almost two years later, I think about it regularly. The artistry, the fearless storytelling, the brilliance. If s/he did nothing else his/her entire life, this would be enough. Trans rights are human rights. #TDOV

This is important. Knowledge matters.

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today. Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere. Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

My best friend of over 20 years is Black and runs a public service agency. My white young adult son is her new employee as of this year. He is learning so much from her about how to be a good boss, how racism pervades societal systems, how to work with and help people. I am so proud and grateful. ♥️

I keep telling him how incredibly lucky he is to have her as a mentor. She’s known him his whole life but having her in this role instead of as an aunt is changing who he is as a person. My son has been through a lot in his life. So has my dear friend. Seeing them together in this way fills my heart

I also work in elementary schools, and in recent years anxiety is easier and easier to find. But of course, art classes are harder and harder. The Right takes pride in funding anxiety. Art, not so much. #artSky

Today I’m working with primary school children helping them deal with anxiety. What are we doing to primary school children that they experience anxiety? Our entire system is broken, destroying childhood and rewarding psychopaths. #education #anxiety #learning #systemschange #primary

I hate them all so fucking much.

RUBIO: “Imagine if Iran spent billions on its people instead of weapons... They’d have a much different country.”🤔😕 Unreal. @marcorubio Do you even hear yourselves? Your shameless hypocrisy is killing us

Is there a California bird that sounds *like* a black-capped chickadee but not quite? Because I’m from Massachusetts and outside my window in San Jose is what *sounds* like a black-capped chickadee except he’s confused and drunk. #birdSky

I feel sick. If you don’t, there is something wrong with you. Look inward.

Police break 17 year old kid's leg—requiring emergency surgery. Beat him repeatedly with baton while he was already detained by 3 other officers. "Grab his ass," witnesses heard him yell—before running over and winding up with batons. Kid was protesting ICE on 'No Kings Day' in Los Angeles, CA.

It’s the week before spring break, and I was afraid my students would be bonkers, as so often happens. But so far two of the most challenging have actually worked with me, and I’m seeing new and real growth in others. Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket.

My best friend is Black and more than a little famous in our small city. It’s not safe for her to protest: she gets death threats for just existing in public spaces. Props to this lady. Stand up and act, #whiteWomen.

Mr. Spock 🖖@spockresists.bsky.social

I love her too. 🖖💕

Not to mention that POC shouldn’t be expected to be shouldering the work that white people should have been doing all along anyway. I hope that reporter had that point to what he was asking and wasn’t trying to start some ignorant shit.

I’m trying to write progress reports and someone is trying to get my attention by flirting with me. It’s working. 😑 #catsOfBlueSky #catSky #floof

This book is a beautifully harsh discussion about the politics of identity, journalism, power, resistance and the self interest/complacency of western liberalism, among many other things. It’s an essential read.

Food truck tía scolded me for her guy not being able to find me to give me my order. I was just sitting at the bar so I’m not quite sure how this was my fault, but I apologized out of instinct. It was worth it for the baleadas normales. Mi Cocina Catracha, #SanJose
