Srsly. There are MANY “ICE watch” community groups popping up, that will offer training, patrol shifts, links to protests & know your rights resources & also links to good human beings in your community. Don’t just doomscroll - ORGANIZE.

Vance & co’s real issue here is how personally triggered they are that their own (present) behavior/personalities are disliked by normies. I’m continually 💀 by how much their entire ideology is motivated by the immaturity that comes with being self-hating losers. Go to therapy, aholes, jeez louise..

We honor the legacy of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a fierce protector of our collective freedom. Our hearts are with her loved ones and all who carry her vision forward.

"We will honor Miss Major forever." - @imarajones.bsky.social

An illustration of Miss Major surrounded by candles with blue background and a famous quote of hers written in gold. The quote reads“I don’t need their permission to exist; I exist in spite of them. I want you to train and teach and love on and create families within my community and gender non-conforming people, so that we can understand that we have a culture, we have a history, we have a reason to be here. We have a purpose. We’re entitled to be loved, and seek happiness, and share that with the people that we care about.” -Miss Major Griffin-Gracy

Above all the land pictured. The Adirondacks are supposed to get more & more record rainfalls, but no one can predict the severity or inconsistency of change that will happen to the landscapes we love, especially if we do not address the climate crisis now. #climatesky

Your regular reminder that we have ❗️no idea❗️what’s gonna hit us all re climate change. Pictured here your bear in the middle of the Ausable River this weekend. I believe it’s at a record low due to the bad drought rn in the Adirondacks. The high water mark during Irene was several FEET above -

A wide photograph of a very dry river bed, of the Ausable in Essex County NY. The bear is a tiny speck on the rocks. All of the land pictured was flooded heavily in 2011

Alright I went with the foreground I took with this shot. A car driving in front of me, 60 second exposure. The final version is a little darker and foreboding than the first one, but I think that fits the vibe of the shot more.

Incredible psyched to be able to get this 33 miles from SF.

The entire incident is infuriating and terrifying. She’s a Latina woman who was working a service job. On her way home late at night, with her headphones in, she was detained for an hour by masked federal agents who wouldn’t give her their names.

Maria Greeley, 44, had just finished working a double shift at the Beach Bar on Ohio Street
earlier this month when she said she was surrounded by three federal agents who grabbed her, forced her hands behind her back and zip tied her.
Headphones in, Greeley had been focused on getting home to her two dogs for a walk.
Instead, she said she was detained by masked agents who did not answer when she asked for names. They questioned her for an hour, she said.

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

My partner captured an absolutely EPIC climber on Moss Cliff near the Copperas Pond trailhead in Wilmington. Anyone ever tried it? It’s so beautiful, gives El Cap vibes viewing from the river. #Adirondacks 🧗🏽

A rock climber hangs about a pitch up from the bottom of Moss Cliff in the Adirondacks. The climb looks sick & scary as hell.
