This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

Horrifying doesn't even begin to cover it. This is, legally and practically, torture. They will deny HRT even to those who can no longer produce their own sex hormones, which can and will have dire medical consequences. They will drive people to suicide.
There should be an Earth for people who don't hate all living things
51 children dead. Each one a universe.

Being trans is a joy and a gift! Some folks are trying to take away that joy! We will not let them! We will become even more trans and more joyful as time goes on!

MAJOR: Twin Cities Tenants joins five labor unions, together repping 25,900 members, to launch a rent strike drive, vowing to withhold rent March 1 if @governorwalz.mn.gov fails to deliver an eviction moratorium and rent relief. If launched, this would be the largest US rent strike in 100+ years.
RIP Rev. Jesse Jackson. I think everyone needs to hear this
Can’t share IG here & Tiktok censored their lyrics, so I am sharing it like this. But @subradioband.bsky.social is amazing. I love this so much.
If you wait for a better world to make art, you'll wait a long time.
Every word of this 🔥
“The mask is off… for so long, many of us have been able to say that there is something deeply anti-democratic and racist at the heart of this MAGA project and of Trumpism.” - @maragay.bsky.social
Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

SEN. OSSOFF: “.. why are roving gangs of masked men — who look like they couldn’t pass the Army physical exam — dressed up like pretend Delta Force operators, on our streets, demanding papers, dragging people from their cars, and shooting people to death?”

No we don’t you worthless lump of campaign bribes, we want ICE abolished and every person who committed crimes, as well as those who allowed it to happen, prosecuted. Go fucking retire, you’ve done enough damage already.
Filming ICE TIPS FOR FILMING ICE Because footage is only useful if it's usable. 1. START RECORDING IMMEDIATELY Don't wait for the "right" moment. Livestream especially when encounters are tense, chaotic, or abusive. Live footage is harder to seize, edit, or dispute. 2. HOLD YOUR PHONE HORIZONTALLY Landscape captures more of the scene - vehicles, agents, bystanders. Better for later review by attorneys, journalists, and investigators. Recording > perfect framing. 1. USE THE HIGHEST RESOLUTION AVAILABLE High resolution helps with: Badge numbers, vehicle markings, facial recognition. If storage is limited, prioritize short, clear clips over long blurry ones. 2. FILM ACTIONS, NOT VULNERABLE PEOPLE Focus on:Agents' behavior, use of force, vehicles, license plates, agency markings * 3. USE THE HIGHEST RESOLUTION AVAILABLE High resolution helps with: Badge numbers, vehicle markings, facial recognition. If storage is limited, prioritize short, clear clips over long blurry ones. * 4. FILM ACTIONS, NOT VULNERABLE PEOPLE Focus on: Agents' behavior, use of force, vehicles, license plates, agency markings * 5. NARRATE BASIC FACTS CALMLY * Say out loud: Date and time, location, what you are witnessing. Calm narration strengthens credibility. * 6. KEEP A SAFE, LEGAL DISTANCE * Do not interfere physically. Do not cross police lines. Film from public spaces where you're lawfully allowed to be. You have the right to record ICE in public. * 7. STABILIZE THE SHOT * Two hands if possible. Brace against a wall, car, or pole. Avoid rapid zooming or whipping the camera around. Clear footage beats dramatic footage. * 8. BACK UP AND SHARE AFTER * Save the video to your device. Upload copies to more than one platform. Share with trusted community groups, journalists, and legal orgs. If ICE is present: record immediately, landscape if possible, high resolution, narrate calmly, don't expose detainees.
Minnesota Atty General Keith Ellison to MSNOW criticizing arrests of protestors & Don Lemon
"The President is openly promoting authoritarianism & tyranny. That is what's happening in America. Most of us thought we would never see it, but here it is right in front of our eyes"
I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.
I was there. They were indiscriminately firing multiple canisters into a huge peaceful crowd. Fucking cowards
JANE FONDA: “I know Don Lemon. My husband created CNN. And I will fight for their right to speak… they arrested the wrong Don. This is how autocrats act. We can’t fall for it.”
