I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Electric Dreams — Tamiko Thiel on the Connection Machine

Before touchscreens dominated our technological imaginations, there was a mysterious black cube with pulsing lights that became the physical manifestation of artificial intelligence—and Thiel realized its visual story.

I'm not sure who turned my words into a meme, and included U.S. citizens (most of whom do not want a new war!), but I appreciate how many people are connecting with it. May all of us, in all of our different situations, somehow help bring the justice this world so desperately needs. 💔

From Rabbi @marisaelana.bsky.social: May Iranians, who mostly hate their leaders, be safe. May Palestinians, who mostly hate their leaders, be safe. May Israelis, who mostly hate their leaders, be safe. May all the war-mongering authoritarians be deposed & may they [yet] experience real justice..

I’m at the NYC anti-Trump protest, where thousands upon thousands of people have shown up in the cold rain. I can’t see the start or end of the crowd.

Big crowd at #HandsOff on Grand Rapids. Spotted a Greenland (!) flag.

People often ask what a coalition of 200,000 can do. The answer’s simple — with all our free time (since a lot of us got fired), we’re out here causing a lot of good trouble.

Thousands of people crowded in front of the Washington Monument on Saturday afternoon to protest President Donald Trump and top adviser Elon Musk’s dismantling of federal agencies, alleged circumventing of due process and introduction of tariffs.

Thousands rally in D.C. as Trump protesters gather across U.S.

In Washington and across the country, demonstrators rallied in opposition of the president’s agenda

@clea-t-waite.bsky.social hi Grrrl!

How come when I try to find posts on “Art” I get a big nothing??? 🙁
