Feel like it's important to note that while Trump has backed down on deploying the national guard here, immigration raids are very much still happening.

It looks like CVS has appointments for the updated COVID vaccine now. It let me make appointments for my family, but only if I did not include my minor child. When I tried to make just a child appointment, that too was not allowed. So there we are, I guess.

This is the first I’ve heard of Adrienne’s death. Seems fishy to me that a 47 yr old anti-ICE protestor would hang herself after her hearing, while still in custody.

Where’s the investigation. Where’s the press?

People’s City Council - Los Angeles @pplscitycouncil.bsky.social · Aug 25

It is absolutely ridiculous that Adrienne Villa's death has basically gone unreported in local & national media

An anti-ICE protester being held on $1.3 million bail found dead in a courtroom jail cell & crickets from media. Should make you question why they want this kept quiet!

The System Killed Her.
A recent report led to the striking discovery of a woman who died in LASD custody in June amid a legal assault against anti-ICE protestors. Her story raises troubling questions.

with picture of Adrienne in background

As if it were nothing more than a minor aside, the article’s author then immediately shifts away to other information. A woman was found dead in her holding cell directly near the courtroom she had been in earlier that day, where she pleaded not guilty to assault and battery of a police officer, and all she had was a fairly vague paragraph.

If she were an anti-ICE protestor, as the article seemingly implied, then this would be a major escalation, as she would be the first anti-ICE protestor to die in Los Angeles. This would have been the direct fault of the state, in particular ICE and the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department (LASD), which was in charge of her detention at the time. Even if she weren’t, the seeming lack of details and the fact that it took multiple months for this tragic story to be reported on at all seemed perplexing and worth investigation.

It's a new week art fans. Make sure you're calling the payment processors and your reps. I've been seeing the momentum ebb and we really can't let that happen. This is about the right for adults to be able to use their own money the way they see fit and freedom of expression

Gotta say, Stripe customer service just straight up saying "we don't support the sale of any LGBT content" was not on my bingo card for this campaign. Hopefully this will be getting lots of attention from all over soon! Tell any journalists and rights orgs you know about it today!

Mostlycogent @mostlycogent.bsky.social · Aug 12

Same during my call- the wording I used was “non-explicit, legal, non-adult LGBT content”, and I got back the response that “yes, stripe is blocking this. We’re a private company, we make our own rules about it.” Was hung up on when I asked why.

Remember when I said JK Rowling spends twenty cents of each dollar you give her harming trans people?

Based on the size of the anti-trans legal fund she started, its more like $0.95 per dollar

I cannot get over how no one in mainstream politics even disputes factual claims like this. Everyone admits that Israel is starving children and murdering desperate civilians. The only ‘debate’ is about what to call it and whether the motives of people protesting it are pure enough.
