I'm usually Ultrasaurus, though now they think the bones they found were a Supersaurus. I want to be some kind of raptor, but I think I'm just a simple sauropod.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

We banned private prisons in California. Time to ban them nationally. Prisons are a public function & shouldn’t be subject to profit motive or the whims of Wall Street. These facilities house a huge number of detained immigrants in horrible conditions. They must be abolished.
Private prisons are cashing in on Trump's ICE crackdown. They're just getting started - Salon.com
Over 90 percent of detained immigrants languish in prisons that aren't actually run by the government

Metal bashing is good for the soul, if not neighbourly relations. I have been making lichen and brackets and am wondering if I can remain enthusiastic long enough to decorate a load of books, decorate an entire book case or create a jewellery collection. #fungilove #fungiart #coppersmithing

In something of a Forrest Gump moment, one of the precedents for jury nullification was a trial against #Quaker William Penn for unlawful preaching. "You are Englishmen, mind your Privilege, give not away your Right," Penn declared before being gagged. A juror replied "Nor shall we ever do."
A reminder that if you are called to be part of a jury in a political prosecution you have a right to refuse to convict on the grounds the prosecution is unjust. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
