Some Federal judges are blocking the DHS twisting laws to demand information on anti-ICE community activists. Gifted.

A federal judge blocked Facebook from giving information to DHS about Montco activists who track ICE on social media

The order came as tech companies have granted other requests by the Trump administration to take down or limit content regarding ICE operations.

Back from a nice weekend with my bestie. Fall festival, good food, football. Every time there is a No Kings event, I am already committed elsewhere. Torn between my much-needed personal break, and guilt I did not get to a march. 😊😐

Sometimes audacity + a clever but simple plan + speed of execution = win. This played like a caper movie. Picturing Sean Connery in the Great Train Robbery...

Tools they used to pry open the windows... someone cased the room ahead of time. Surveillance cameras will likely see them. OR... an inside collaborator?

The GOP talking point…
Only “old” people showed up at No Kings!

Damn right we showed up!
We show up at the Ballot Box too!
You are the First Administration that has pissed off the Grandpa’s and Grandma’s.
You have no idea what you’ve awakened.

Yes #GeneralStrike... eventually. I'm not sure we have enough people yet willing to risk jobs, paychecks, rent money. We need to build funding so people CAN participate, while those able to do so can support them. I'm retired, but I would chip in to support strikers. Are 7 million enough?

I love this. In-state rivalry turned ally. Huge FU to the IU censoring the student newspaper.

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.
Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.
Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.

One of the biggest issues in democratic politics is how the consultants everyone hires sees voters as just a cash machine and they pummel them with messages asking for money instead of activating them for politics. It rightfully makes people extremely cynical.

Probably better he wander in the wilderness than be at hand to give deadly advice...

DebmBudd @tuppenceforthem.bsky.social · 5d

Is this due to the floods or the shutdown?

White men are always to be forgiven, cuz boys will be boys. This is also why their behavior worsens each generation. Never held accountable.

It's been super dry here (Southeastern PA) for the second straight Autumn. Not as much color as is "normal," but normal ceased a decade ago. This one tree, however, never fails to explode in red.

DebmBudd @tuppenceforthem.bsky.social · 6d

This tree at the end of my block. Most years, the south-facing half goes red two weeks before the other half catches up.

Mom never expected to outlive Dad. Dad decided he was done, stopped meds and food. He passed a week later, barely had time to set up home hospice. She urged him to let go that last night, but Mom went through most of that week in a mental blur. 70+ years wed.
I wish you all peace and acceptance.
