Always have been.
Astronaut betrayal/“Always has been” meme, except instead of a gun, the astronaut is holding out a cozy pair of warm mittens that I stuck on there super-badly using some crappy app on my phone because my very old cat is sitting on me and this was not a joke worth disturbing her to get my laptop for.

There are three armed ICE/CBP agents in the foreground arresting one young woman trying to get to a doctor's appt.

There are at least six armed ICE/CBP agents in the background desperately trying to prevent photographers with visible press passes from documenting it.

I keep thinking two things:
Screenshot from video taken by Amanda Moore @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social in post below. Image shows a chaotic and crowded scene in the middle of a Minneapolis street. In the foreground are three standard anonymous ICE/CBP ghouls violently arresting a young woman who you cannot see in the photo at all because they have surrounded her and pressed her up against her car. She is screaming at the agents and screaming to the many, many community members who have surrounded them and are blowing whistles and shouting back. In the background, you can see at least five photographers with fancy cameras who have moved in to take photos of her as this happens. I can tell you from watching the video that they are also wearing highly visible press ID badges, which is really smart because there are also at least six fed ghouls just like the ones arresting the young woman who have swooped in to try to get between them and her and block them from documenting what they're doing. The photographers, having more than brain between them, are taking photos between the agents and, when blocked, just lifting their cameras up above the agents and photographing downwards.

Repost with your home river.
Photo of the Charles River separating Cambridge & Boston; spanning it is the Longfellow Bridge, sometimes called the Salt and Pepper Bridge bc the weird mini tower thingies on the sides look like stone salt and pepper shakers.

My timeline did the thing again.

Hellsite screenshot is from @katelynburns.com post quoted below.
Screenshot of two consecutive bluesky posts on my timeline. The first is a screenshot from the hellsite X where Nicholas Kristof writes: "I'm struck by the contrast between the passion for democracy shown by Iranians willing to die for it and the complacency with which many Americans have accepted an authoritarian slide. Americans should cheer for Iran's democrats--and also learn from their determination." The next post is from the Minnesota Star Tribune, posting an article featuring a photo of heavily overmilitarized ICE agents standing around being horrible. The text of the post reads: "Can I check a pulse?" yelled the bystander, standing across Portland Avenue from Renee Good's lifeless body inside her crashed SUV, video footage of the exchange shows. "No," an agent replies. "Back up." "I'm a physician!" 'I don't care."

There are many reasons we'll win in the end, inc. that we're funny as fuck, but also because we actually value facts.

As such, I have started putting together bsky lists of trusted indie/OTG accounts by city/region of ppl who have been working to get out firsthand info of what's happening. (1/2)
Meme of "not this, yes that" with a person disapproving of text in a box in the top row and then approving text in a box on the bottom row. Top image is a cartoon-drawn femme-coded person with a pink shirt, short pinkish hair with a red bow, and dark sunglasses. They are turning their face away from the text and holding their hand up as if to say "nope." Top text reads: "Getting 'news' from sketchy or misinformed sources and reposting it, causing unintentional harm to local people in crisis and the resistance in general." Bottom image is the same person, but their head is turned towards the text; they are smiling and pointing approvingly at it. Bottom text reads: "Following real humans who live in the places where shit is going down (or have experience reporting on it) and can explain events with accuracy & context."

There’s an awesome labeler you can subscribe to that adds your pronouns to your posts & makes other people’s show up if they’ve subscribed too. Obvs not everyone uses it, but it def cuts down on accidental misgendering bc you don’t have to leave the thread at all. I can find the link if you want.
Screenshot of one of my bsky posts showing the “she/her” label in small print under my username. I’ve outlined it with a pink box to call attention to it since the print is small.

inside me there are two posters
Screenshot of bsky post and reply: Prisonculture @prisonculture.bsky.social posts: "One reason I favor impeaching Noem is because it's a political process for a political problem. No, this will not stop ICE enforcement action but YES it would be an opportunity to educate the public about DHS & perhaps begin to lay a foundation for dismantling it." this is followed by cait (and adonis) @cait.bsky.social replying "and also because I fucking hate her"

My timeline did the thing.
Screenshot of two consecutive posts from my bsky timeline. The first is @craigmranapia.bsky.social, quoting a post that said "The victim has been identified as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, a US citizen and the mother of a small child" and commenting "This is probably going to demand a depressing amount of repetition, but here goes. If Renee Nicole Good was a childless foreign national, its still wasn't OK for a federal employee to straight up execute her. Begging everyone to not concede one inch of ground to this toxic framing." This is followed immediately by a post from All In with Chris Hayes, which reads "A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her."

Text convo: Me to friend: Meanwhile my coffee & vyvanse hit at the same time after I actually got some sleep last weekend and I almost filed ppw to run for gov of MA.

Poster for Jim Jarmusch’s film “Down By Law”, which I’ve taken 45 seconds to very poorly modify on my phone so it’s now Jim Jarmusch’s film “Bad on Content”. The Criterion Collection, no less.

I'm doing what I usually do and channelling my anxiety into spreadsheets. Are there any Republicans in the Senate that we know of who are NOT solid yes votes?

So far I've only filled in Ed Markey (solid no, my man) because I just made it like three minutes ago.

I’m so glad you like them! I wouldn’t have stuck with those goddamn bitch-ass sanity-stealing apple blossom flowers in just ANYONE’S honor, y’know. (They were worth it but I did almost light the whole thing on fire several times.)

For the needlework nerds:
Closeup of the goddamned bitch-ass sanity-stealing hand-embroidered apple blossom flowers. There’s just a shit ton of detail in the petals and what I learned were stamens? and/or pistils? And veins on the petals and leaves and shit like that. Ngl, it looks good, it just took forever and is hard to show with my old-ass iPhone’s busted camera.

Bsky Posts as Resistance Art, Vol. 4 & 5.

I thought for a long time about whether @miawong.bsky.social’s ubiquitous trademark phrase should be worked into the first piece or be its own; I think I made the right choice. (I’m never making those fucking apple blossom flowers again, though. Jfc.)
Hand embroidery project; multiple colors on off-white linen in light brown circular wooden hoop. Image is red and yellow flowers in a sort of folk art style curling around the text from Mia’s post stitched in grey writing: “el pueblo unido jamás será vencido, motherfuckers.” The fabric is slightly warped where I pulled the thread too tightly around the “fuckers” part; for scale, most of the letters are less than a quarter of an inch tall bc why not make it harder. There are tiny gold beads stitched here and there among the flowers ‘cause I felt like it. (Project started with a pattern by artist BellaSavoy on Etsy but ended up altered a lot for text placement & bc I wanted more flowers.) Complex hand embroidery project. Three dragons outlined in purple & gold with metallic gold lines forming the shapes of their bodies fly among absurdly detailed clusters of white & pale pink apple blossom flowers & green leaves. In the center of all of this is small, all-caps text that reads MOREOVER, ICE MUST BE DESTROYED. (Project used parts of a pattern by artist MoodyGreen on Etsy, altered a lot in ProCreate.)

I honestly haven’t known how to interpret this.
FBI not leading Brown investigation because shooting hasn't been declared an act of terrorism - 9:45 a.m. By Truman Dickerson, Globe Correspondent Dan Linskey, a former superintendent-in-chief for Boston police who now works at the security firm Kroll, said the FBI is not leading the manhunt for the Brown University shooter because the attack has not been declared an act of terrorism. "Terrorism is defined as trying to change a government opinion," Linskey said in a phone interview Thursday. "We don't have a motivation for the crime ... this could have been somebody who went in and murdered somebody they had a domestic relationship with." "That's just old-fashioned, stone cold murder, and that's not the purview of the FBI," he added.

fuck yeah.
Updated column chart showing the amount of money people donated during Mox's three Free Friday events (Black Friday 2024, April 2025 & today, Black Friday 2025), broken down by categories (gifts given & mutual aid fund) along with total. Gifts Given went from $637 to $1,033 to $2,256! Mutual Aid went from $245 to $501 to $1,451! So totals went from $882 to $1,534 to $3,707. Holy shit. These are preliminary numbers and might change a little, but not much. This is awesome.
