#1MillionRising #Pillar: Military / Police / ICE
Technique: Human chain

LorennaCleary.bsky.social @lorennacleary.bsky.social · Aug 10

Ohio managed to get thousands of people to hold hands and link arms in a human chain that stretched 8 miles to stand against ICE.

8 miles of humans linked together.

And this isn't just any Dodgers game. It's a Dodgers/Padres game. Yet ICE says there's no particular reason they wanted access. Sure, Jan. GTFO.

Okay for the first time ever I am going to get myself a Dodgers baseball cap and cheer them on. The team stared down ICE and put the run on them.

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts.

Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

And yet Joe Rogan puts guests on who say "Vaccines aren't actually responsible for the reduction in infectious diseases.”

The image is a heatmap titled "Measles," showing measles cases across U.S. states from 1928 to 2003. States listed on the y-axis include Alaska, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The x-axis spans years from 1928 to 2003. A vertical line marks the introduction of the measles vaccine around 1963. The color scale at the bottom ranges from blue (0 cases) to red (4,000+ cases), with shades of green, yellow, and orange indicating intermediate values (1,000, 2,000, 3,000 cases). Before 1963, many states show frequent high case numbers (yellow to red), while after 1963, cases drop significantly, with mostly blue indicating near-zero cases.

So, that’s actually not allowed…The Constitution isn’t optional, sir. This isn’t a reality show — it’s reality. Two terms, that’s it.

Trump is 'not joking' about third term, though Constitution says he can't serve

In remarks to NBC News, Trump also said "there are methods which you could do it." Trump would need either a two-thirds vote in Congress or a constitutional convention to serve a third term.

This spring day ends soon!/
Have to make my social rounds:/
Greet the budding flowers.

I promised myself/
I'd touch earth every day,/
remember my roots.

Now's the time to act./
Call forth the rich folks' conscience,/,
rehumanize hearts.

If they won't listen?/
Then we'll show them the power/
Of our feet, hands, voice.

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

For what it’s worth, when I spent years in Afghanistan and Iraq, the most powerful thing I ever saw was USAID digging wells & repairing schools. The most effective power we will ever have.

Expanse of dropped leaves
Glows jewel-toned in early sun:
Stained glass for squirrels.

Makeup Haiku for Wednesday

My hand palms the mouse.
Leaving the bright-dust screen,
Eyes drift to window.

Longs for a chisel to shape her

Pool table sidewalk--
Sweetgum balls sit motionless,
Waiting for the cue.
