Fwiw the environmentalists have developed a deep inventory of nonviolent direct action tactics -- "change outside the political process" as earth first says-- that are easy to learn in a group, guide you through planning, can stop them from picking you off, and can take ground from them and hold it

Very curious to see how the 2nd Amendment worshippers try to pretend this was not a clear violation of that. And a legally concealed gun is not a brandished weapon. Insane times.

ICE executed a U.S. citizen today. Unarmed. Unprovoked. Then they lied to justify it.

Congress funds ICE. Congress sets the rules. Congress can stop this violence if we force them to act.

Use the tool. Flood their offices. Accountability or complicity.

I’ve never felt more seen. Sobbing-over-my-eggs-and-toast seen. This is why I’m cutting off friends, family, acquaintances.

After a week of ridiculous Republican smears and Trump claiming that “very few people are going to be there,” you just made history. #NoKings

If you’re struggling, please consider rescuing a pup. You’ll figure it out if you lead with love. Welcome to the family, Indy!

To all of the step parents and queer parents who work just as hard but are not acknowledged as a “real parent;” to pet moms; to anyone separated from their mama today by loss or incarceration or estrangement or something else: I see you and celebrate you.

Heirloom photography: I created these collections to metabolize loss. Creating art saved me in 2021 during the worst of Covid.
