South Koreans held their government accountable earlier this year. And now they’re protesting for American’s rights and democracy on No Kings too!

Thank you South Korea! #NoKings ❌👑

I stand corrected - and, yet, the point stands.

As Supreme Court kills Voting Rights Act, worth remembering Court empowered the Klan to overthrow Reconstruction govts by gutting civil rights laws in 1870s

NO KINGS being conspicuously omitted from the TRENDING sidebar really puts last month's Grief Mandate from Bluesky Management in perspective.

More than 300,000 Black women have lost their jobs this year, and the NAACP says it is no coincidence. From abandoned DEI promises to systemic disinvestment, this crisis is by design. Economic rights are civil rights. Accountability and action cannot wait!

More Than 300,000 Black Women Have Lost Their Jobs This Year. The NAACP Says It’s No Accident. | Essence

The organization is calling out “systemic disinvestment” and pushing for accountability through new initiatives and job fairs.

It’s closer to "standard operating procedure" than “weird."

Social media censorship is executed with a level of complexity which - surprise, surpise - escapes notice. I learned this from Twitter and studied it closely. As with other things people prefer not to believe - many of which bear a CONSPIRACY! tag - it becomes “real” when it happens to you.

Good time to start acquiring a taste for Yaupon Holly tea, as it’s rich in caffeine, abundant in my area and reportedly blends well with other herbs. I’ve intended to try it for months, but old habits are hard to break. Maybe I’ll get around to it today.🌞

Coffee is too expensive now. I’m going to switch from brewing it to gnawing a handful of coffee beans like chewing tobacco

My Afghan clients who worked for the United States during the war won their case today and got permanent residence. I have been fighting this case for about three years. Today, they won. Green cards for everyone! I feel fantastic.

The weaker the government, the greater its reliance on violence and deceit. This is true all over the world, and it always has been. An ever-present dynamic of human experience.

Ärvinski The Ephemeral @arvinski.bsky.social · 19h

The Regime’s Bluesky invasion is part of its psychological terror campaign to silence, intimidate and punish dissent. Public injury and theft constitute the totality of its self-generated mandate. It’s here to hurt people. If it walks like a death cult and talks like a death cult, it’s a death cult.

Brains that are motivated to "control" others are mentally unstable brains. They control because of ego, anxiety & because of messages they left childhood with about the world: the world felt unsafe therefore now... we must "control"

5 of the Far Right Supreme Court judges were spawned by Opus Dei.

Wow, if this is true and happens, it’s a very big deal. Opus Dei is responsible for a *great deal of evil* in our time 😮

A true leader embodies the unfailing courage to stand with The People as Kat Abughazaleh‬ consistently does.

No secret what the false ones do. Their ritual press conferences and nationally-syndicated TV appearances are a standard part of the Potemkin Village scenery.

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly.

Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested.

Stay safe out there.

Perhaps Governor Pritzker will start a bail fund and medical relief fund for Illinois residents beaten, jailed or disappeared by the extrajudicial militia known as ICE and the renegade law enforcement entities supporting it. The least he could do after imploring citizens to video the transgressions.

This is the first time federal terrorism charges have been deployed in association with the “antifa” label…The Prairieland case has so far provided a convenient testing ground for state repression. Latest @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/10/17/a...

“Antifa” Protesters Charged With Terrorism for Constitutionally Protected Activity

After a protest against ICE, federal prosecutors pursued guilt-by-association charges against two “antifa” protesters.

That my attempts to convey what I learn are met with near universal hostility, condemnation and willful ignorance only deepens my understanding of human nature, human experience and The World as it is. Every frustration opens another door, and, amazingly, I’m not dead yet. Wonders never cease. ❤️‍🔥🌏♾️

Starlings are one of Britain's most beautiful birds. With the right light and up close, the colours are amazing. Very underrated!
