Got a nasty shock this week in regards to my house. Turns out the repairs I knew would be needed on the foundation are a lot more extensive than I thought. Could really use whatever help folks can offer.

A group of hundreds of faith in coalition who started at a Maywood church just arrived at the detention center for a eucharistic procession.

They want to offer communion to detainees inside, but won't be able to get past the barricades and fence on Beach Street.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

The place I was in before the displacement was completely destroyed
Now homeless and insecure.
I need $800 to pay for transporting my furniture to Gaza and to rent a room for my daughters
Winter is coming and my daughters can't live in tents

To be candid, I want the bubble to burst. Because it will eventually and inevitably, but the longer the current charade goes on the more our planet and communities are decimated— and the more dependent we become on the few powerful people left who control those resources.

Jessica Kant @jessdkant.bsky.social · 2d

Energy requirements for AI mean that the only way for the bubble not to burst would require companies to multiply their carbon footprint to an unimaginable degree. Right now, while AI is barely functional and mostly a novelty for the lazy, it requires so much energy that data centers rival cities.

Listen. ONE of the reasons I rock with Dolly (Capricorn Gang) is because she’s always proven to me that integrity may cause you pain, but it will never be the reason you suffer. Which is not to say that suffering won’t come, but it’ll never be because you abandoned yourself. That’ll keep you going.

A hero can be anyone. Even someone doing something as simple and reassuring as making ICE stormtroopers look like pathetic little bitches by dancing around Portland in an inflatable frog costume.

This is genuinely one of the best tactics for these protests. When you look fucking stupid as hell, dressed like a goof, and stand facing off against a bunch of over armed, jackbooted thugs it makes it really difficult for them to spin this as a military insurgency. Like, really? The frog?
