Survived long enough to see rights given me in the 1970’s disappear. Looks like voting and due process are next. Doing what I can. Gardener by temperament, biologist by training, dog and cat wrangler. Sci-fi audiobooks rule. And Pratchett.

Found another bee on her break to share. Remember to rest sometimes, and just breathe.

A native North American bee sleeping on an incipient hydrangea bloom.

Hey, don’t shame the elderly. 😉

Sick fuck.

Hauling away two people surrounded by a dozen “troopers”, while bagpipes play.

Threatening insurrection? Looks like free speech to me. Bunch of dicks looking for somebody to oppress.

PORTLAND: “The frogs are multiplying”

(#NotAWarZone Noem Matter what Kristi says)

n0face @n0face.bsky.social · 2d

It’s perfect. ICE cannot be filmed assaulting frog costumed bystanders, or even firing tear gas to create a war zone ambience. THEY’RE FROGS! Hahaha I love Portland. Stay strong!

Trump’s statement doesn’t say what you’re saying. He certainly sounds as if this is something new and worthy of announcing publicly. I haven’t seen a long form piece with details yet, but I will look for support of your comment.

Prepare for a battle over water rights.

Also, what reason is being given for this? Does any other nation have an air base on US soil? Trump really is just selling off the country under our noses.

Today's Market activity shows what happens when there is zero consistency in any policy, foreign or domestic, and trump admin goes out of their way to do extra crazy things on the weekends.

Wholehearted agreement! How do we start? Reddit French nationals point out we aren't doing the protests right. French succeed by massive, unrelenting, daily protests until things change. I'm hopeful we are starting to see that in Chicago. ICE is going out of their way to alienate even the cops.

I feel this deeply, but they (ICE ready, and Kegseth trying to groom armed forces) are itching to fire on American citizens. How do we win against that? More and more it feels like a nat’l general strike and DAILY massive protests are our only tools.

I do Costco strafing runs twice a week. No cart. Two large totes. I dart around carts and entire families, confusing the enemy. When bags are full, I canter through self checkout.

Zoom zoom.

The good guys are easy to see. The cops don’t want ICE there either. I’m glad.

n0face @n0face.bsky.social · 3d

Oooo you don’t fuk with Chicago cops. Stupid move, ICE. You’re out of your league now.

n0face @n0face.bsky.social · 3d

Yes! Glad it wasn't just me. 🙌

When I turned 65 they gave me one of these as a baseline for Medicare. They haven't given me another, so I guess that means I am OK? But they do give them to everyone at a certain age, I believe.

It's both. “I had only been present at the Broadview protest for a few minutes that night when I saw Reverend David Black, a regular protester outside the Broadview ICE facility, being shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE agents,” Hayes told Storyful.

n0face @n0face.bsky.social · 3d

This photo looks more like the head shot, less like the tear gas. I will do some research...

n0face @n0face.bsky.social · 3d

I believe they also shot him in the head with a "non-lethal projectile" at very close range. Unless that was a different clergyman in Chicago.

n0face @n0face.bsky.social · 3d

Because we don’t have a huge media empire constantly yammering about it. Those who know, care.

Love this man. THIS is America.

Google translate is struggling with “chinga la migra”. Is it fuck ICE? Thanks.
I already disturb every Hispanic/latino I see by smiling and saying Hi! I can add your suggestion lol. I think I already frighten them. Old white women tend to get indulgence tho, so I’ll keep trying to be an ally.
