A collective photo taken at Firestorm Books. Our team, including five humans and two dogs, is sitting on the sidewalk in front of the building looking relaxed. The sky is bright but cloudy and flags on the building hang without any indication of wind. The building is painted forest green and various posters and signs are visible in the windows, which reflect the sky. The largest reads "Immigrants Welcome."

“I think what ICE is doing is the worst thing America has probably done since the internment camps during World War II.” One of the nation's top "justice facility" architecture firms will no longer work on ICE detention centers or deportation facilities after its employees staged a revolt.

Hi everyone, I'm planning on finally getting my own place by this autumn regardless of my situation. This is so I no longer have to stay in a toxic, and at times, dangerous environment. I decided to set a kofi goal to help secure funds. Anything is absolutely appreciated 🩷🖤

Multiple news outlets are reporting a US attack on an Iranian #desalination plant. If verified, this violates international law protecting #water systems during wars, and it sets a dangerous precedent, given intense dependence of Gulf countries on desalination. timesofoman.com/article/1691...

We have about a week before rent and a couple other bills are due. Please take a look at my work and consider throwing some money at me and a picture idea with it. It goes on a list of things to make between comms. Please share this around. I'm sorry I can't ever get on my feet.

Ulexite, a boron mineral, casts images from its bottom flat surface to its top surface via long tubular crystals. It's also called "T.V. rock" due to this cool television-screen illusion. In these pieces, I back-painted sky/clouds onto the bottom surface, which "magically" appear on the top surface.

I try to be reasonable/non-alarmist, but something as middle-ground & milquetoast as NPR posting this is very, VERY concerning. Check it out, think about it, & then also look at a more experienced leftist preparedness guide like Margaret Killjoy for more advice:

Putting together a go bag doesn't have to be daunting or expensive. Here's how to create a functional kit that doesn't require much money, time or effort.
