It just declared bankruptcy. And California’s attorney general has issued an unusual “consumer alert” about how to protect your privacy.

I’ve been reading Bishop Budde’s book “How we Learn to be Brave” and I highly recommend it to anyone, faithful or not.
This is a time for all of us to be brave, and this book provides a guide that is much needed in this era.
So, the video of the US army choir singing “Do You Hear the People Sing?” at the Govenors Ball TO the pres is real.
And I am DECEASED. (It was shared by Dan Scavino on his Twitter account.)
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:
DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.
ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.
REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".
It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.
Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

I have spent way too long thinking about this too
The only way out is through. And the only way through is TOGETHER.
digital illustration of viktor arcane and machine herald. The illustration is in black and white composed with two panels. In the first there's an headshot of viktor, with high contrast shadows, and blood falling from his nose. The second, there's a headless machine herald offering his head to viktor
waiting forever with blood in my mouth, didn't expect for Death to offer its scythe

It had been 12 days since the Right Rev. Mariann E. Budde, the Episcopal bishop of Washington, pleaded with President Trump to “have mercy” on immigrants, LGBTQ children and others.
She returned to Washington National Cathedral on Sunday for her first public service since her viral sermon.
According to a senior CDC official, some of the pages that were removed on Friday have been reinstated due to backlash from the scientific community and the public. Keep speaking up, it matters!
Bugs and Daffy standing by a tree, sign reads DUCK SEASON, then RABBIT SEASON then ELMER SEASON, and they both glare ominously off camera
classic Loony Tunes have much to teach us about class solidarity
Two friends, a witch and a dog, finally hugging again in a sunny day.
Welcome Back. 🐕
Because a bishop preached about the Bible while standing in pulpit of her own church there's a congressional resolution to condemn the sermon, demands she apologize, & calls for gov't to seize or shut down the church. So much for religious liberty!

Commit the sin of empathy.
i love that bishop baddie’s book is on being brave. #church @mariannedgarbudde.store
It can be ordered straight from the publisher (penguin random house) but I think it's currently on backorder even from them.
Pretty sure that's the only place to get a physical copy at the moment too. All online retailers are fully sold out. The publishers website (penguin random house) is the only site I found that had copies.
Their faith lets them worship power while they’re offended by mercy. It’s not Christianity they’re practicing.
The purpose of yesterday was to frighten us to submitting in advance. I have my freedom of speech and I will use it here and everywhere else I exist online to make my voice heard. No oligarch, no president will silence me. So, be prepared for more Latinx books just as soon as my mourning ends, okay?
To all my trans and non-binary friends over in the States, please know how incredibly loved you all are. You're so goddamn beautiful and strong, and don't ever let any of those brain-dead assholes convince you that you're not.
There's an odd gender warmth to seeing jayvik art of them being cis x cis, trans x cis, and t4t all back to back. I love seeing them take different forms & love each other with different bodies while that core love is the same. Genderqueer art is so special 💚
Exasperatingly frequently necessary reminder that the weaponization of ableism and fatphobia and homophobia and transphobia against your political enemies still works to NORMALIZE those things, thus SYSTEMICALLY HARMING your supposed allies.
