Look at these cuties crafted by my good friend @riversong28.bsky.social
I call them Boo and Punk.

Sending troops into Chicago where lawmakers said there is no problem is:
1. Immoral
2. Unlawful under the Posse Comitatus Act of 1882 3. un-American and the opposite of patriotism.

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband.

Today they attacked two journalists.

We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

Religion is not a moral code. It is political power dressed up as faith, and its foundation everywhere is the oppression of women. Every religion, no exceptions!

People are allowed to exist in larger bodies. People are also allowed to take up space, to have needs, to experience joy, to be visible, and to live without having to apologize for the size or shape of their body. Their worth, dignity, and humanity are not up for debate. #fatphobia

Economic & political systems are based on employment as the main way for ppl to access income, healthcare, & retirement security. Employers & govts have an interest in keeping ppl tied to jobs for a substantial # of hrs/week. Change is possible, but it requires a shift in policies & mindset. #UBI
