Man being detained
This is the other photo taken by Pierre Lavie depicting the detainment of photographer John Abernathy, for this USA Today story: www.usatoday.com/picture-gall...
I'm so glad John was able to get his camera back as well as his phone, and I am grateful for these brave journalists.
Saw a comment on Reddit: "You know it's a life-or-death situation when a photographer throws a Leica." 🥺
That's a $10k+ camera that you know an ICE agent would sell in a heartbeat for pennies on the dollar.
What a chilling, sad, yet amazing photo. 😔
Murphy, the beloved dog of a friend of mine, is battling bone cancer & needs support. Every donation, no matter how small, makes a real difference in keeping him comfortable during this tough time.
So if you can, please help and/or share it with others. Thank you!
Canceled my Spotify premium account after many years and this is the reason I gave them:
I'm switching to a different service because Spotify CEO Daniel Ek aggressively supports the military industrial complex, particularly his significant personal investment in Helsing. I can't support that.

Vance Ehmke, a registered Republican, says that for a KS farmer, “changing how you vote is, honest to God, like changing your religion.” But America’s farm sector is already shrinking. He says Trump’s moves are bringing that bleak future to pass “a hell of a lot quicker. So I am pissed at him.”
Paul Penner, a Kansas wheat farmer and former president of the National Association of Wheat Growers: “We need people who are willing to speak up,” he said. “I think privately they say things, but publicly, no. And I’m not sure what their pain threshold is.”
I just watched the penultimate episode of Andor. I can't believe how good it is.

My friend & his dog in rural Kansas need a little help. Anything you can donate would be appreciated.

People experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves.

The times require that elected officials be not just representatives of our communities and states but organizers defending American constitutional democracy and leaders out of this lapse into authoritarian rule.

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

This was a good Zoom.
Love this.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
I hate it here.
