Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal@jayapal.house.gov · yesterdayI’ve been notified of another death in ICE custody. This is the 55th death under Trump’s second term and the second reported death at Delaney Hall in less than 8 months. We must end the use of these deadly private prisons and reform our country’s cruel detention policies.

The CLF theme for August is Rest. In a culture that values constant productivity, choosing to rest is an act of resistance. By slowing down & caring for ourselves, we reclaim our humanity & create space for healing, joy, & connection. Join us this month at the CLF as we explore the theme of Rest.
August will be good to us. Let it be filled with not just love and joy, but also healing and rest. May this month offer us so much of what we need. May it bring the world closer to freedom and justice. May goodness prevail. May we heal and grow. May we find everything we need.
The reflecting pool saga is interesting because it crystallizes how capricious fascism is: Making stuff up (ie lying), criminalizing people, and acting with impunity.
Also 5-7 million people have lost health care…. USAID getting dodged killed kids… our bombs are dropping on kids in Gaza and Iran and Lebanon… and on and on… the worst kind of gaslighting

"These two realities — the enormous luxuries enjoyed by the world’s top megabillionaires, and the hardships imposed on communities by data centers — are bound together, with the former resting on #extraction from the latter." - By Derek Seidman @truthout.org
Truthout@truthout.org · 5d agoThe very same corporate moguls who rank among the world’s wealthiest people, enjoying the heights of opulence, are also among the top owners and profiteers off the data center boom.

Puff the Magic Hater@mskellymhayes.bsky.social · last wk.Stressed about this El Niño situation. Our communities aren’t ready. This convo I had in early June could be a place to begin, in terms of considering what collective responses could look like. Please take me seriously when I say that we need more preparedness.
