Looking up at some spring flowers in the garden in the sunshine. Some daffodils, and some blue/ mauve flowers that look like poppies/anemones. Set against some pale leaves on the trees behind them, together with some pale blue sky and fluffy clouds behind those.

America saw police violence against demonstrators in Los Angeles, Denver, Memphis, Portland and Broadview, IL yesterday. It's true that most protests went off without incident but it is also true that proximity to feds or local cops will always bring some risk, especially near ICE facilities.
Someone hacked the crosswalks to say "Fuck Trump. Trump murders children." ✊🏼
Sign saying "Bikes rule, cars drool"

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.

Whenever work gets me down this week, I'm going to look at this photo and remember work doesn't matter and can't hurt me

Winter's barcode
Fierce looking black and white and grey bird with black mask and hooked black beak is perched near the top of a bare, vertical branch with head turned to the side. The narrow branch crosses its face between eye and beak.

Nah, if you can't support human rights for all people, and yes that includes trans people, you not only shouldn't get to run for office, you shouldn't be speaking at all until you get your heart fixed

Last month the Japanese American National Museum asked me to deliver a keynote speech on what is necessary to combat authoritarianism and preserve democracy. You can listen to it and the Q&A that followed here:

Just left an ICE Protest in Portland OR that started at City Hall and marched to the ICE building. Main demand was "revoke" the lease that lets the agency use their building.
Crowd was 500-1000. They gassed massively after about an hour. Had to pull a lot of 16-17 year old girls out of the gas.
People who may want to have children in the future should bear this in mind: tear gas can have serious consequences for female reproductive health. The data on this isn't great but I would at least recommend ensuring you have a quality respirator or mask on at all times.

Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks.
They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.
