I know not everyone is who they thought they would be under a fascist, authoritarian regime. That's okay. But it's time to do more than react and post about it. It's time to get organized—including mapping or creating lines of support and defense in your community.
Mapping Community Defense and Care in Our Neighborhoods
This worksheet can help us prepare for Trump's military interventions at the neighborhood level.

The universe is too fucking fabulous for capitalism, y'all!

Last night's evidence:
1. North America Nebula (1 hour)
2. Andromeda (20 min)
3. Pac-Man Nebula (15 min)

The universe is basically just hydrogen, dark matter, and dark energy. Plus trillions upon trillions of perturbations lol

North America Nebula. Lots of red because of all of the hydrogen gas.

Members of Congress should be on the streets of DC—where many of them live! —putting their bodies between these law-abiding citizens and ICE. Congress should be demanding names, and promising ICE will be prosecuted when US democracy is re-established.

But they are not—b/c they think it polls badly.

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

It was a treat! To see the Great Bustard (Otis tarda)in Bratislava recently.

At first backlit and far away, the air haze was too high. Then one flew right towards us.

A lifer. My #977th #birds species as I work towards a 1000! Kid me is so excited! :D

Conservation status: Endangered

They always seem to be demand attention. But how can you not stare when they are so striking?

Eurasian Magpie running with a wasp in it's beak. The Magpie has it's tail up showing a bright green in it's tail feathers. The whole landscape is dry and brown, typical of summer time in Central Spain. Close up of Eurasian Magpie running with a wasp in it's beak.

Let me be clear: It’s ILLEGAL to deny federal workers back pay after a shutdown.

There’s a 2019 law that guarantees it, but Trump is once again trying to break the law.

You don’t get to punish people for doing their jobs just because you’re failing at yours.

Everyone in the past was neurotypical, which is how we got things like this single-author, eight-volume encyclopedia of ferns
eight leatherbound books all titled "FERNS" volumes 1 through 8

This is how people are being disappeared within our own country. Due process for all or it's meaningless.

ICE abducts people and then immediately moves them around to prevent access to lawyers and habeas corpus petitions. @emmarjanssen.bsky.social has the story on this consistent game being played to frustrate due process.
