The Devilish Miss Story

American of the West Coast, knitter, book enthusiast, traveler, artist, uppity broad, and witch (crone mode activated).
Today I stood on a corner in Hayward with four friends and held a sign. We sang, “K. Nome is a Chicken-Legged Ho.” We waved and cheered and urged people to honk. We had a few passersbys join and stop. The most excellent students from the middle school brought their own protest. It was wonderful.

Ah. The NYT is now reporting the overturning of the American rights above the fold! (Good job, guys!) Now add what kinds of agents these might be.

Due to the enormous walkout in Minnesota today, the New York Times has finally deigned to publish Trump pushback “above the fold.” The NYT has a great deal to answer to, kow-towing to that effing orange clown. When are they going to stop bending over to him? When?!

A memo was released by ICE instructing agents to violate the U.S. Constitution. ICE told officers and agents that they can forcibly enter homes without warrants signed by judges. The memo was from ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons, was shared with Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn) by two whistleblowers.

They don't sound like Democrats but they're out there protesting in 0°. Welcome to the resistance! ✊🏼

"If you support Trump at this point, never invoke the constitution. Never invoke State's rights. You don't give a fuck about them. You don't care about Tyranny. You don't care about Libertarianism."

Please take a moment to contact your U.S. Senators and urge them to oppose H.J. Res. 140. A short call, email, or message saying you care about clean water, wilderness, and public lands really does matter. If people stay quiet, this will pass quietly. If enough of us speak up, it doesn’t have to.

Call your reps. Let them know that if they vote for ICE funding, you will not vote for them ever again.

Representatives need to feel the heat. NO on ICE funding. No excuses.
So the House is going to vote TOMORROW on the DHS funding bill that includes funding for ICE.

There's a real chance we can get Dems to vote NO on any bill with ICE funding to sink it.

Once it goes to the Senate we likely lose this chance.

24 hours. Go.

They are small

Weak

They are cowards who retreat in the face of mass resistance

That is why they can only "surge" 2-3 cities at a time

Join or organize an ICE Action Network

We can and will #DisruptICE until we can #AbolishICE

And we'll use those same networks to protect the ballot 🗳️ 🌊
There are some 20-30k ICE agents. There are approximately 250 million adults in the United States. The idea that we are helpless...is the biggest load of bullshit mindset one can have.

anyway, if you're interested, here's my view on taste. it's both exclusive and inclusive. just like there are many different languages, i think there are many aesthetics, none necessarily better than the other, although better ways to express each

How To Develop Good Taste, Pt. 1 — Die, Workwear!
Marcel Duchamp once noted in a 1968 interview with Francis Roberts, “If your choice enters into it, then taste is involved—bad taste, good taste, uninteresting taste.” For those fortunate enough to live in post-industrial societies, where choices are now nearly limitless, taste is everything. Taste shapes what we purchase, the cultural artifacts we consume, how [...]Read More...

On the cusp of WWII, in 1938, my grandfather Charles W. Bridgen shot a colour film of his journey to revisit the Northern Front. It documents a Europe on the brink of war, still scattered with the fragments of the last. The full film is on Youtube here: youtube.com/watch?v=esA9...
