Our pals @50501ky.bsky.social got the #NoKings protest happening tomorrow at Metro Hall at noon. If you're so inclined, come on out to #TeslaTakedown at 11 AM tomorrow for a little warm-up demo! Then jump on I-64 West, you'll be downtown in no time. Bring your rain gear, it's gonna be stormy!
Americana is a vital part of Louisville, and in particular the South Louisville neighborhood that I call home. Thanks to @signifyingwolf.bsky.social for playing this fundraiser to help them narrow the gap left by federal funds being illegally impounded by the Trump administration!
The No Kings protest map will help you find a place to exercise your First Amendment rights this weekend. (It's also a pretty good argument against the Electoral College.) www.nokings.org
One of the things mentioned here is that they arrived in unmarked cars and wore casual clothing, so if staff hadn’t had the courage to tell them to go away, how would you know they were federal agents and not random adult men abducting children? This should be the biggest conservative mom panic ever

NOW— Mass ICE arrests happened/are happening at the Manhattan immigration court at 290 Broadway on the 20th floor.
I was just outside the building and an observer came out crying, confirmed they witnessed people getting detained outside courtrooms while families watched and wept.
Review, I'm not copying all that text because it hurts my eyes on this screen

it’s hard to fathom how different our realities are
Wishing everyone a disruptive May Day 2025!
I think we downplay the role of social media algorithms and targeted disinformation campaigns in drawing voters to Trump and away from Democrats at our own risk — it’s frankly a refusal to reckon with reality. Social media has created a matrix-like info control environment.
what’s really funny about this is that our dentist’s name is craig johnson
News article headline and excerpt dated April 25, 2019, reporting that a Massachusetts judge, Shelley M. Richmond Joseph, and a court officer, Wesley MacGregor, were indicted for obstructing an ICE arrest. The charges include conspiracy to obstruct justice, aiding and abetting obstruction of justice, and one count of perjury for MacGregor.
I know a lot gets forgotten about the first Trump administration but they arrested a local judge for the exact same thing in 2019. This isn't the first time.
This is a fascist move by this administration but one they've done before.
The people I most want to see often don't appear in my feed anymore. There needs to be a way for us to suggest "more of this person." And for anyone who wants to claim this is a purely chronological sorting of people I follow—it absolutely isn't. Some people are being completely filtered out.
