Like Patti Smith says, "I want to be alive. I want to breathe. I want to do my work."
The work these days is homeschooling, studying midwifery, poetry, land art, community organizing, rematriation.

Intervention works! These folks know they are doing sketchy crime work - Together? We can interfere, put them off, and freak them out. Alone it is difficult, but together? Together we are strong. (and so many more than them). Practice stepping forward.
🧵Masked ICE thugs attempted to abduct the school nurse at Cooke Elementary School, located in the densely populated Adams Morgan section of DC. Workers at the school intervened, demanding a warrant and holding up their phones and ICE scurried off without making their arrest.

Just checked my email… HMS hasn’t even sent out an email about this yet.
Kseniia Petrova, a Russian scientist at Harvard Medical School, was detained at Logan Airport after returning from France and sent to an ICE detention in Louisiana, The Insider reports.
A big critic of Putin and the war in Ukraine, she may now be deported to Russia.

that Noem video reinforces my belief that there is a streak of sexualized sadism on the US right that goes back to lynching imagery but began in its most recent form with the enthusiasm for torture during the Bush years.

Personal good news is difficult to metabolize these days. Like, I want it / I need it / I EARNED my good news but it’s hard to talk about joy in a simple declarative sentence.

This is a US court of law, refusing to bar illegal actions of the Executive branch out of an explicit concern that its agents will react with deadly force.
Wow. Judge Howell is worried that if she orders DOGE to leave the USIP building it could turn into an “armed standoff” over unwillingness to vacate, and points out law enforcement has shown willingness to help DOGE. Asks if we’ll need foreign mediators to come in.

“When the bird flu started making rounds in 2022, egg prices really went up,” said baker Christina Martin. “I was like, there is no way I am getting caught up in that because you can raise prices, but what if you can't even get eggs?”
Higher egg prices prompted one Charlottesville baker to shift her business model — here's how she did it
When the bird flu gained traction three years ago, Christina Martin, owner of bakernobakery, hatched a plan to produce her own eggs.

@theferocity.bsky.social Saeed, may I trouble you for some pearls of wisdom? I am feeling a great amount of despair today. Very what’s the point. I’m so over being ruled by classist elites who are more interested in filling their coffers than do anything to help us.
