The thing everyone can do right now is to find your lane if you don't already have one and work that lane diligently and with commitment.

blessed are friendships. monday musings in the form of a poem.
Right winger gets murdered: he was the kindest, gentlest boy who ever lived Right winger ends up being the murderer: he was also the kindest, gentlest boy who ever lived
In this moment of emergency, a lot of people are realizing that they can just… do things. Without people giving them directions or instructions, people are just showing up to escort their neighbors to school, to cook them meals, to share resources & support.
in retrospect, there’s probably never been a name as threatening as “America Online”
i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence
Well look at that.

RIP sir... a huge talent. "Graham Greene, a Canadian actor best known for his Oscar-nominated turn in the 1990 film “Dances with Wolves,” died on Monday in Toronto after a battle with long illness. He was 73."

Now's a good time to create new things.
In America we have city cops, different cops for your county, cops for the whole state, cops for soldiers, cops for malls, presidential cops, cops for the stock market, mail cops, federal cops, cops we secretly send to other countries. Even your neighbors get to pretend to be cops. We’re very safe
A group of Virginia voters — mostly Black naturalized citizens — is celebrating a legal victory after a judge ruled their lawsuit against the state over voter registration purges ahead of the 2024 election can move forward.

Waking up to see my friends brutalized and kidnapped by the state … a trauma that runs so deep Fuck the state FUCK THE POLICE
Back to work today
i say this with love: people really gotta let their one-sided online parasocial beefs go
it’s my birthday I am now 31
Good on them.
I’ve been testing diff seasonal fruits, making syrups, jams, pastries…this week I’m doing some custard creams. All in the search for my birthday dessert top winner. What’ll be my dessert for 31? What’ll be the star ingredient? Absolutely loving having my own kitchen to explore recipes in. Thankful!
i spent today doing fun things (to me) I made corn butter And then mixed it with actual butter for corn butter I made sweet corn fritters and then used my corn butter on them I made a pot of collard greens and rice 👩🏾🍳

Glorilla getting arrested, I have a couple things: • no one is safe in the war on drugs • she called the police because she was robbed, and ended up getting charges of her own • this shows so much why police need to be defunded and abolished FTP

Last night I got to see curren$y live and if you’ve known me since high school, you’d know how much I loved that So much that I went to a festival, solo 😂

Oh no baby what is you doing
We're not "descending into" fascism in the U.S. We are living under a fascist regime already. I wonder when most people will catch up to this reality and what that might portend.
Given that more people will see the Supreme Court as illegitimate [it is], I wonder what opportunities this presents.
thinking about the dems who said we can't abolish ICE as the Department of Education gets wiped off the map
Whewwwwww yall are putting the Pressure this summer Lover girl season is in full effect Leo season is otw 😍😍😍
Constantly feels like the world is becoming Black Mirror
If you have limited time available, consider devoting it to fundraising for small projects and groups. There's a lot of need for funds and fundraising has become absolutely more difficult. Pick a group in your area and take it upon yourself to raise funds in all the ways you can.

These politicians don’t care if Americans die due to the lack of healthcare or food benefits they’re cutting. They know. They simply don’t care. They have been funding and cheering on a genocide for nearly two years. They are ok with working class Americans dying.
Hakeem Jeffries is so skilled at being a disappointment. The worst opposition leader possible. I am so sick of rank careerism and incompetence.
I'll be off socials for the week. I hope that you all take care. There's so much happening and not all of those things are within our control to directly impact. I wish for all of us some discernment about where to struggle and some clarity about our lane.
There's a lot to be said about identity, solidarity. But a simple place to start: the people who are willing to fight for their neighbors when their neighbors have different problems have a very, very good chance of having neighbors to fight with when you all share problems
grief can literally make your body so tired it’s bewildering
i'm imagining what kind of horrible ghoul the board of visitors is preparing to install as UVA president & giving myself a tummy ache
This is …. a deeply unserious and misguided take This should not be the lesson from the last election cycle
An utter disgrace

Dear young people, you are allowed to enjoy when horrible people lose for at least a few hours. Revel in it. Tomorrow is soon enough to start picking everything apart. lol.
Get ready because this is what you're going to see on the fucking reg. America's press, because it's corporate owned by companies who have stakes in the outcomes of these conflicts are going to pound those drums until it's all you hear. Max 'NeverTrump' Boot is the poster child. Fuck these people.
Non disabled people can’t understand the unrelenting monotony of chronic illness. The soul crushing defeat that comes from knowing you won’t feel “better” the next day. The exhaustion that comes from fighting an oppressive system of ableism for the smallest amount of dignity & decency.
Made yet another pot of greens from my garden tonight. ❤️ Delicious! Rewarding.
City life — there’s been a full band playing covers of all types of black songs for the last 3 days on my block in honor of Juneteenth
Peppers! Tomatoes!
Mahmoud Khalil’s release is a win for the rule of law—but it also exposes a deeper failure. He was wrongfully detained for over three months, and no one’s been held accountable. Without consequences, what’s stopping them from doing it again? Nothing.
How western propaganda works

#KarenRead found not guilty on every charge except DUI
this is absolutely correct.
Bratz recreate Doechii’s BET Awards look.
Something that I think weighs on many is that everyone knows that if ever the Democrats were fully in power at the Federal level again, they will not immediately move to reverse what has been destroyed and build something new. This reality just sits out there like an anchor.
Shutting it down for the night. Good night to all. May tomorrow bring us more justice and some peace.

the cops are not in fact 'out of control.' this is US policing.
Wtf is a quadrocopter even
A reminder for folks everywhere to listen to your friend Misty Quigley
The protesters have turned on the Waymos
Gaza freedom flotilla the Madleen has been intercepted and its crew now in custody, kidnapped by the Israelis. We demand their immediate release!
Hope other countries are excited for the LA Olympics!
All of the talk about "peaceful protest" makes me think of all the times I have been part of a protest where the police cracked someone over the head and then charged that person with assault. They will call you violent. You can't control that or other people.
Don't listen to the people bleating on social media that "no one is doing anything." What they are actually saying is that THEY aren't doing anything. The reality is that folks are working in every corner of the world, doing so much to keep themselves and others alive, while building the future.

You know it’s nearly peak gardening season when my loved ones are getting daily pics of my plants!! Here’s some highlights 😍
Reminder that police lie, all the time. Especially if they are implicated in violence themselves. The notion prevalent in mainstream media narratives and pop culture/media that police are trustworthy or offer protection or safety is not only false—it is dangerous; it is copaganda.
came home from one of my favorite solo days ever after THE BEST 10 day girls trip in my life and the first thing I did when I got into the house was walk straight out to the garden with my flashlight to see the progress of my plant babies We have flowers ppl, we have sprouting peppers and more
ahora quien si no soy yo? me miro y lloro en el espejo y me siento estúpido, ilógico y luego te imagino toda regalando el olor de tu piel tus besos, tu sonrisa eterna y hasta el alma en un beso en un beso va el alma en mi alma está el beso que pudo ser
This was the best plate I’ve had in a while, especially the trifongo el restaurante jibarito / viejo san juan
All I wanna do is show love and be loved ✨

I am not a fan of Southwest Airlines and their weird lottery based seating
No Cop City, No Cop World is officially out today :) it was a massive collective effort, not to give a definitive account of a movement that could never be fully captured in a book, but to document tactics tried, lessons learned, & successes & failures. Order supports @workshops4gaza.bsky.social:
If you don’t want to take the booster don’t. But to prevent adults from having the choice is depraved.
I just cackled
I may not have read the books, but i have magically reviewed both Tapper and Comey’s new tell-alls- They are both hugely self-involved pricks who didn’t do the right things when it mattered, but now think we should be grateful that they were there at the time. Saved you a read.
I have to share this somewhere
