Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

"The legacies of radical thought are not yours to cosplay.

We’ve buried mentors and friends who gave everything to this work. They held coalitions together across race, religion, class, and creed... They did not sacrifice so you could embrace nihilism."

I just got my Mt St Helens tissue box from @phaneritic.bsky.social and OMG it’s the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I am obsessed.
A close up of a 3D printed tissue box of Lawetlat’la (Mount St Helens). It is topographically accurate and is printed with rainbow filament so it has the most beautiful rainbow striations you’ve ever seen.

Yes i think it's good to do this if you are of childbearing age. I don't encourage everyone else to hoard these. What the rest of us can do is to get immediately skilled up in SMA. truthout.org/articles/lea... - I've been talking about this for many years and get educated.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

I'm gonna need all the blue states to stop focusing on whether or not Canada still likes YOU because YOU are a good one and start fucking recognizing this *entire* country is going off a cliff.

No Canada does not like any of us! AS THEY SHOULD NOT! leave them alone, we got our own shit to focus on!

Among other things, how is this going to go when ICE starts disappearing Canadians coming here on vacation for “Elbows up” posts?

Gavin Newsom, Gov of California: "We're launching an international campaign to welcome and encourage Canadians to visit the Golden State."

My advice: Do not travel to the US. Period. Not Red state, not Blue state. Let them see we're serious about protecting Canada from Trump's 50-state Amerika.

History speaks. Europe’s lessons from a century ago can wake up and inspire our democracy…in 2025 America.

All I gotta say is if we're gonna be forced to live through the worst excesses and societal ills brought on by the pernicious greed of billionaires, then our Gilded Age 2.0 will need to deal with a new class of radical muckrakers that rival the best the Progressive Era had to offer

This is going to sound frivolous to some of you (but I have known PJ a LONG time lol) but

What may help conceptualize this forced exodus for many people is to look at it alongside the state of the entertainment industry. A grip, or field audio tech, or wardrobe manager CAN’T “just get another job)

Unfortunately for many federal workers, their positions simply do not exist in the private sector. There are a lot of specialists who are having to choose between giving up their career, leaving the country, and agreeing to be hired (or REHIRED as we're starting to see) into this environment.
theophite.bsky.social
the thing about making everyone in the federal bureaucracy miserable and unstable is that it constrains your ability to hire, and insofar as it doesn't, you can only hire sadists, and while a sadist might use your ideology as a means, their ends are simply causing pain

Reminder that today is an economic blackout. Don't buy from chains or big box stores!

However! You are still encouraged to shop at local and small businesses, and you can, of course, still buy medicine, food and emergency supplies.

Good explainer here:

A movement is calling for an 'economic blackout' on Friday. Here's what to know
The People's Union USA, a grassroots group, is calling on Americans to join a national boycott by not shopping for 24 hours on Friday.
