Psst… from the heart of the devastated north, the revolutionary project Spark Space continues—still hosting dozens of kids for exams 💛

Electricity services are out, so the volunteers rely on the generator you got them in March. Help them buy fuel & continue serving these kids!

If any child in your life has an IEP or 504 plan:

Trump fired (we think) all of the employees in the office at the US Department of Education that disburses special education funds from the federal government that school districts use to pay for those plans.

I walked from Uptown through Edgewater up to Devon this afternoon and there was someone with a whistle every few blocks. Cyclists with whistles were patrolling alleys.

One thing I want you to take from videos like this is the absolute cacophony of whistles and screams of "GET THE FUCK OUT OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD" from people in the streets and in buildings. And more and more people are at that point every day.

ICE/Border Patrol held a weapon on a guy who was demanding they show him their face in Rogers Park today

RT'd the info post, btw. Apparently a disproportionate number of citizen and legal resident arrests at airports have been at Boston Logan International.

It keeps happening at Logan. 🤔

Maybe it's just a haze of nostalgia, but I feel like I saw far fewer stupid ass replies like this on pre-Elon twitter. Every day is apparently First Day On The Internet for bluesky users.

This is a reply to a post sharing information about ICE detaining people at airports.

Greg Spooner @spoonsky.bsky.social:

Good to know and thanks for the tip.

But also, in order to have a planet we can actually live on, we need to fly a whole lot less out of all airports. Commit to flying less here: https://www.flightfreeusa.org

Word to the wise: do not fly internationally into Logan. All of the major public detainments of Legal Residents and Citizens at airports have been out of Logan.

Kat Stuart @luckykatstuart.bsky.social · 8h

Anyone in Boston an immigration lawyer or know one who can help this woman? Her husband is detained at Logan over a dismissed misdemeanor from 2017. He’s a legal resident of the US. She just asked for help an hour ago.

Well, I paid a lot of money for a therapist to tell me to do pretty much exactly that. So I think you can be proud of your coping skills :)

This is actually a great way to deal with it.

Oh wait, this is the relationship to the mother. "Brother's baby mama" is the accepted term, I think.

Pinko @pinkoscare.bsky.social · 13h

Interesting. I think they still count as a nibling regardless of whether the parents are married, but I could be wrong, I don't know much about the current state of bastardy laws in the US.

‼️ Read @kevinhfoster.bsky.social's posts from last night and note how the protest in front of ICE had been peaceful, with little to no interaction with feds, until the right-wing propagandists and influencers showed up.

Kevin Foster @kevinhfoster.bsky.social · 1d

A crowd of right-wing agitators just stormed through chanting “Whose streets? Our streets.” A woman appears to have been shoved to the ground (hear clothes were dirty and hand had a small cut). A right-wing man may have been punched.

I'm reminded of those comments about how manosphere shit is basically just men subjecting themselves to the same body image problems that women have dealt with for generations and getting one-shotted by it

Oh.

I don't love this one, sorry. It's leaning too much on anti-Palestinian sentiment.

And they *know* that! That's the logic behind it. They think you'll want to compete to win back their attention, because again, they don't like women, and thus they don't know anything about them.
