Hello, Patriots! DHS is here to appeal to your patriotic spirit and ask that you lend us a hand in stopping the Democrats’ government shutdown.

To all the Americans on Bluesky, your homeland needs all of us to work together.

angry that #ICE Gestapo is not only on Bluesky, but they've been verified. worse is if we block them, our profile becomes known to them as having done so

this is no longer a safe space. not deleting today, but probably will eventually

they want us afraid and in a state of distress. holding onto our joy is resistance. sharing that joy is also resistance

Exist Otherwise Literary & Art Journal issue 17 is online now, with a theme of "This is What Resistance Looks Like."

Our muses, #ClaudeCahun and #MarcelMoor were gender non-conforming antifascist activists and artists in the early 20th century. Their spirits live on.
