Professional labor photographer. Unions for all. Birds. Whales. Cats. Hydration. Maybe a dash of democratic socialism. Not necessarily in that order. Too much optimism for the current moment.

Cute content skeeted often, not with the news cycle

Our enemies are cowards and we're going to defeat them.
Do not assume that everything they set out to do is inevitable. They have been successfully fought on multiple fronts, from courtroom wins that have actually stuck to city and state governments that haven't backed down, to activists in the streets organizing against their violence.
doesnt make up for verifying ICE et al but goddamn this is cool and good and important

We call on Starbucks board member and Land O Lakes CEO Beth Ford to say the names of our murdered neighbors, to say the names of the agencies who murdered them in broad daylight.

We can’t afford you trying to stay above the fray! Stand with us and say ICE out now!
60+ CEOs release letter on "recent challenges" creating "tragic loss."

Call for "immediate deescalation of tensions and for state, local and federal officials to work together to find real solutions."

No mention of ICE.

Signers include Target, UnitedHealth, Cargill, General Mills, MN sport teams

someone in a nail polish subreddit created a shade that matches the one in this photo and is selling it on etsy so she can afford to buy her boyfriend a bulletproof vest to wear while doing ICE watch at home depot. we live in hell but we are going to fucking win.
the nail polish girlies are going absolutely feral and it’s so good

I have actual work to do today but I'm tempted to go see how this is going.
For those wondering, it's peregrine falcon sex season.

If any AFGE union members/officials want to speak with me about this, even anonymously, my email is [email protected]
AFGE disaffiliated ICE from the union in 2022,
www.afge.org/publication/...

But the National Border Patrol Council is still affiliated with AFGE and putting out disinformation on the shooting about "consequences and repercussions"

Friends don't let friends follow AltNPS
Completely insane. AltNPS claimed to know the name of Alex Pretti's killer, refused to say it because "the truth always comes out," and then just deleted the post.

A man was executed on the street in my hometown, and AltNPS is using that as an excuse to vaguepost for attention.

PublicSquare seems to have memory-holed its marketplace pages, but I just scraped 40k of them from the Wayback Machine and extracted JSON data for 37k businesses, including 34k distinct email addresses, 31k phone numbers, physical addresses, etc.
I remember searching the PublicSquare listings just a few months ago - the tool that let you view affiliated businesses by state appears to be GONE now.

Guess the MAGA's realized they are, in fact, widely hated.

Does anybody have recommendations for beginner tai chi on YouTube that I can watch for free in my own time? I learn by watching and want to try out a few different teachers probably but there are *so many* to weed through.

ICE took the flower man in Echo Park 40 minutes ago. He’s at this corner every day. I’ve bought flowers from the man and woman here for anniversaries and birthdays. Lemmy loves to smell them whenever we walk by in the mornings. I was just at the street corner 15 minutes before it happened. Fuck.

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

Here I thought I should be posting large male chickens who oppose ICE
I'm not going to post screenshots for obvious reasons but I have been alerted that a bunch of the top posts in r/MassiveCock are anti-ICE now and anyone who defends ICE in comments is getting yelled down lol

They have 0 people to prep them. Because they don't think any of this matters, because the old man just wants them out there lying.
KARL: He was an ICU use who worked for the VA and there's no evidence he brandished the gun whatsoever

BESSENT: But he brought a gun

KARL: I mean, we do have a Second Amendment

BESSENT: I've been to a protest -- guess what? I didn't bring a gun. I brought a billboard

One of the best organizers I know in the Twin Cities has a great line, "We can't always take away the hurt, but we can take away the alone."

It's so I insulting to me that the same company myself and my employer have given more money than A CAR to are now marketing software telling me to put this picture into the infinite Earth killing machine to remove the grass in the foreground. That reality is partially what makes it so powerful

"THE LEFT WAS NEVER THIS VIOLENT UNDER OBAMA AND BIDEN!" is a fun angle.
Kristi Noem: "These are not just agitators anymore. They are violent protests. Frankly, this didn't turn violent until we uncovered the fraud in Minneapolis."
