Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.
“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Today is a day we honor MLK's legacy. But we must still work *every day* to fight for the social justice he (and countless others) have fought for.

I adored Andor for many reasons, but this speech from a resistance fighter overlaid with what’s happening now, in our galaxy, right here… is everything.
Ok, I couldn't stop thinking about this. Apologies to the literally dozens of people I've lifted from... I want to do a fully credited version, but I'm sitting here sobbing and, well, maybe you'll feel some release, too.

Just a reminder to all my fellow Californians to remove yourself from all the data brokers by going to: privacy.ca.gov/DROP/. Email verification is still a bit wonky, so save your name & number. You can then go back in to verify your emails (much easier). Let's keep our data our own!

There are more of us than there are of them—and we know our right to assemble peacefully and protest. I’m counting on my fellow Americans to prove that at the No Kings protest on Oct. 18.

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.
