If you live in these states, your Representative, Senators, and the state Attorney General and Governor need to hear from you. Tell them you don't support a Federal invasion of Illinois. Contact info look-ups for Reps, Senators, and Governors here: www.usa.gov/elected-offi...

Dance party protests might be one of the best moves right now.

These make fascists look ridiculous, counter the "Portland is dangerous" narrative, and showcase joy and community at a time when those things are in short supply. Keep it up.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

It gets worse:
1. That’s an FN 303 projectile launcher with a chemical payload—usually OC/PAVA irritant, but a UV dye is also used to identify protestors to arrest.

2. They’re labeled “less lethal” but still kill/fracture/chemically burn/blind—officers don’t need a threat threshold to use them.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter:

A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

Medical institutions treat trans people as a population to surveil, manage, and dissect, rather than as people to assist or treat with basic dignity.

Typewriter Skeleton @tpwrtrmnky.bsky.social · 1d

Oslo University Hospital caught using trans patients' journals for research purposes:
- Without the patients' consent to participate in research
- Affecting minors
- 1700 of them
- Taking highly sensitive information from said journals

This is a HUGE breach.

Grey wolves are a keystone species in their natural ranges in the states.

The Bluesky Head of Trust & Safety admitting that all posted images are processed through an AI autolabeller that presumably employees have no access to or control over? (And probably steals every image to be used in an AI “art” generator, who knows?)

Seriously, this is outrageously irresponsible.

🐺 The “big bad wolf” is a myth. Wolves fear humans, fleeing at voices and sticking to nighttime. They only approach settlements when hungry. Humans are the true super predator—keep food & livestock secure, and let wolves live in peace. 🌿 #Wolves #Coexistence
