If you aren’t ready to share, tell your stories to yourself and let them nourish you and guide you.
Most importantly, your stories should please you and you alone.”

Took me a second to work out the logistics here, Fred does like to fold himself into boxes in odd ways. Obviously I went in for danger tickles.

Grateful I planned to be both ignored and side-eyed at this neighborhood gathering.
Face-masked or not, I still am on good terms with the organizers.

For every journalist shot at, kicked, batoned and detained, there are scores more folks who are getting their shit kicked in by the local/state/federal agencies operating in this city
LAPD, et. al., want to nuke the injunction so they can shred everyone’s rights with impunity, for example

I was interviewed for this piece—one thing that didn’t make it into it that I want to note: there’s been a lot of attention on the battle for press freedom here in LA—but as I’ve noted, this isn’t just a press rights fight, but a fight for the 1st amendment protections of all Angelenos
Law enforcement physically attacked 72 journalists covering immigration in LA this year—more than double the city’s 2020 BLM protest total, according to the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker.

Scrappy and underpaid, LA's independent reporters are risking everything to cover the ICE opposition

"Asian man" is TX Rep Eugene Wu is the Minority Leader of the Texas House of Representatives.
Because sometimes a reminder is warranted.
And it's nice not always having to be the "reminder."
There is indeed a rising tide that lifts all boats

Also happy to report that schools seem to have stopped forcing students to do that hug and make up shit when one of them does something harmful.
EVERYONE should be allowed to take their time and decide when/if they want to be friends again.

I’ve been working on a theory for years that helping young people practice setting boundaries with the adults they trust (including me) and the boundaries are respected, that muscle will be ready when they have to do it with their peers, even when it’s hard.

ICE never left L.A. The military did but they aren't the ones terrorizing the city. Please don't ignore L.A.
ICE has been raiding my neighborhood and surrounding ones for the last couple of weeks now. They commandeered my local church (against the pastor's will) for a staging site and raided supermarkets, parks, Goodwills, bus stops, you name it.
The national media's been silent. So has @mayor.lacity.gov.

Engagement on our updates re: ICE kidnappings/fed siege of Los Angeles is significantly lower on Bluesky compared to Twitter. Do ppl on here not care about LA anymore? Are feeds being taken over by liberal commentators? What's going on?
Community members on the ground can't do it all. We need help.

Easier to talk with my white husband than me, who face-masks in public & outdoors because I can NOT trust anyone to not get me sick.
The federal/state mandated kidnappings only add to this bullshit.
