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!

If you can't make it to Washington D.C. this weekend to protest fascism as the streets crumble under heavy armor, why not join us at the Louisville #TeslaTakedown protest Saturday June 14th at 11 AM at 11701 Gateworth Way (off Blankenbaker Parkway) in Middletown? actionnetwork.org/events/tesla...

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.

Fantastic ending to Baroness Kidron's speech in the House of Lords yesterday, which led to the government's defeat on AI & copyright. Speaking the UK's creators: "Their property, their labour, is worthy of your protection - because apart from anything else, it is not ours to give away."

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.

NYT needs to correct this disinformation right away. Its reporters are apparently clueless about what's actually going on out there. People with valid visas and green-card holders ARE ABSOLUTELY being deported right now for speech, and without criminal convictions.

In a first for the Ivy League school, Columbia's new officers have the same powers of warrantless search and arrest as any other police officer under New York law. The state law permits the officers to use "physical force and deadly physical force in making an arrest or preventing an escape."

A lot of creative folks are demoralized right now. Hell, I'm one of them. Maybe some of them are helping you through this rough time. If so, do me a solid: Share their stuff. Drop them a kind word. Tip their Ko-fis, or join their Patreons. It seems like nothing, but it's everything right now. 🤘

"The myth that hard work will lead to stability has been shattered, revealing a stark disconnect between the story America tells about itself and the reality of deepening precarity.” An excerpt from my book, There Is No Place for Us, is out today in @literaryhub.bsky.social:

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.
