Friends if you are a person with airline miles you don’t need, you can donate them to folks in Minneapolis to get home. I just spent 12,000 miles on a flight to get someone released from detention in El Paso home to tonight. It feels great. You can sign up here: www.standwithminnesota.com/skymiles

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

This morning at the Minnesota State Capitol. An ice sculpture that reads "PROSECUTE ICE". I'm told the organization behind the sculpture is Common Defense.

Billionaires are fearmongering about California’s proposed billionaire tax. Baloney. Just look at what happened when Massachusetts raised taxes on the rich.

I’m getting trained as a legal observer through Transgender Law Center and @rohnkat.bsky.social has offered the most inspiring welcome and call to action to get organized and work in community for justice. Thank you!

@thenation.com turned its website over to stories from #Gaza and dropped their paywall and this one really gutted me. Continuing to witness this genocide is so painful and so important. #NotInMyName #NeverAgainForAnyone

A home with no walls, tent-shelters drowning amidst rainfall, children born prematurely and malnourished. Life within Gaza’s “ceasefire” is not as we have been told. @Rashaaboujalal1 reveals the reality. https://bit.ly/4bB3cxI

I might be a bureaucrat on the outside but I will always be a queer punk on the inside. DIY show culture and punk audiences are and should be part of the fabric of protest movements.

As the U.S. government wages war on immigrants, with Los Angeles bearing the brunt of ICE's violent tactics, this DIY Dead City show felt historic—echoing Rage Against the Machine's legendary protest set outside the 2000 DNC. The full story: lataco.com/dead-city-pu... By @theglutster.bsky.social

Mike Johnson speaks out against the use of judicial warrants in immigration cases: "Imagine if we had to go through the process of getting a judicial warrant"

A federal judge is blocking the Trump administration from terminating Temporary Protected Status for Haitian immigrants living in the U.S., finding that statements made by White House officials demonstrate that racial bias played a part in decision-making.

Judge Halts Noem Move to End Protected Status for Haitian Immigrants, Citing Trump Admin’s Racial Bias

The “decision to terminate Haiti’s TPS designation was motivated, at least in part, by racial animus,” the judge ruled.

10 days post snowfall; my street is still not clear enough to park on and #Providence is just starting to enter the “daily melt becomes nightly black ice” phase. I miss nice daily walks around the neighborhood! #BestRunCity

I wrote about some of my observations on collective decision making and how we can practice things that make use better at being in community. There has been a lot of grieving over her the past few weeks, metabolizing slowly into this. jennsteinfeld.substack.com/p/the-archit...

The Architecture of Collective Problem Solving

Earlier this month I had the opportunity to travel to Chile, where I got to interview several people who had participated in their failed 2021 constitutional rewrite.

Since we are living in @digitalhellworld.bsky.social we can at least try to protect ourselves and each other. @eff.org has a great offering on Thursday. Know your rights so you know when you’re being infringed!

Electronic Frontier Foundation@eff.org · 8mo ago

Join EFF's online town hall to discuss ways to stay safer and how the digital rights community can help address ICE and CBP's brutality against immigrants, observers, and those seeking to hold them accountable. Livestream on Thursday at 10 AM PT. eff.org/livestream-ice

I just heard @eliothiggins.bsky.social talk about verification, deliberation, and accountability on @onthemedia.bsky.social and came home and read the article, and now I want to connect about the human technology of verification for a paper. Help connect us internet!

It is currently 8:36 AM in the UK. I am spending the day in a meeting and taking an 8 PM flight home. Somehow I land in Boston at 10:30 PM for a total of 48.5 hours wheels up to wheels down. For now in a Wildfang suit, thrifted French cuff shirt and cufflinks, found scarf, determination.

I’m on a 2 day jaunt to the UK to disrupt the wealth management industry, so I decided to lean in to the Thrifted Dandy esthetic. Schoolboy blazer and French cuff dress shirt procured on Poshmark, gifted thrifted scarf and pocket square, estate sale pansy lapel pin. #ButchDandy #OOTD #TDOV

Made good use of my time at the @justeconomy.bsky.social #JustEconomy2025 conference by working on my #ResistHat, doing a 27 year glow-up visit to Capitol Hill w @magaziner.house.gov, and getting to know my @localreturn.bsky.social compatriots better. Bringing home so much info! #KnitSky 🧶

If you’re not familiar with the term “network state” now is a great time to familiarize yourself.

You probably don’t know that #Welding is my #QueerRoot. That scene in #Flashdance where Jennifer Beals takes off her helmet & shakes out all that hair was everything to this Pittsburgh kid. So I really enjoyed the #SFOAirport exhibit on #RosieTheRiveter. Joan of Arc pageant? Yes please!

I lost a dear friend in January, days before she died we had made a plan for ice cream today while I was in her area. In her honor I had a double scoop in a waffle cone in view of the Bay Bridge. I think she would approve. I love you and miss you Court.

#SuitButch day 2: handmade K-Zao suit, thrifted Thomas Pink pink, purple, and white striped French cuff shirt, circus print silk scarf w a half Windsor knot, college ruled pocket square, Prince and Bowie riding a pink unicorn lapel pin. #QueerStyle and #EnbyVisibility is #Resistance.

I used to be a daily #SuitButch but now that it’s an occasional thing it’s a lot more fun. (H/t to @dieworkwear.bsky.social 4 style tips!) Handmade K-Zao suit, thrifted Thomas Pink shirt, Trafalgar naiad braces, and pink pocket square, gifted blue silk scarf, gifted flower pin. #OOTD #QueerStyle

It’s #WomensHistoryMonth! We asked our Director of Strategic Partnerships, @jennsteinfeld.bsky.social, “How does #wealth inequality affect you as a woman?” Tell us about your experiences with #finances and wealth #inequality, as a #woman, in the comments below ⬇️

My travel schedule this year doesn’t leave room for traditional #Purim fun and #Antizionist stuff can be hard to find on the road so I’m drinking #Tequila in the Charlotte airport in a #Hamantaschen hat watching fire trucks flood the tarmac. I’m sure #EverythingIsFine. I think Esther would approve.

It’s a great time to call your Senators and tell them you expect them to vote NO for cloture and NO on the continuing resolution, basically a short term budget bill that locks in some bad stuff.

Americans for Tax Fairness@4taxfairness.bsky.social · 2y ago

There is absolutely no reason to vote for the current Continuing Resolution. —It gives Elon Musk free rein to slash programs families depend on —It tees up massive tax breaks for billionaires —It even guts IRS funding for catching rich tax cheats We can do better than that.

Good morning! Time change side effect is I’m up for the sun rising over my neighbor’s house again. These times are making me appreciate #SmallJoys again. What’s getting you through?

Freaking FINALLY got these #BrainlessSocks off my needles and onto my feet. It’s my favorite travel pattern because it’s, well, brainless, but sometimes that means a lil #knitting project takes way longer than necessary. But don’t worry I have another pair on needles! What are you making? #KnitSky
