“Social worker” just autocorrected to “apocalypse worker” on my phone when typing this bio. That about sums it up. ✨🫧 Rhode Island-based, community mental health-focused. // Free 🍉 // “rebellions are built on hope.”
Now without that federal money at the start of the summer harvest season, farmers and food organizations are worried about how businesses will survive and how residents in need will access fresh food.
They've arrested, detained, or assaulted a judge, a Mayor, a Congresswoman, a labor leader—and now a U.S. Senator. Imagine what they'll do to you.
They are counting on our fear, which is why we must be courageous. If we don't fight back, they will come for all of us.
“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾
MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.”
ICE: “The whole country is our property.”
No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?
Megabill would cost poorest households $1,600 a year, boost richest by $12K, according to Congress’ nonpartisan scorekeeper.
Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”
“She literally had to choose: physical harm or potential [ICE] custody.”

Discussion today: maybe this is it. Maybe this time, these circumstances - maybe this is the hand we are dealt. And well, if this is it - if this is as good as it gets - then I’ll hang on to what’s mine and to what matters, and I will do the best I can with what I’ve got: family, community, faith.
I’m horrified by senseless acts of terror in DC and CO. I reject that you have to “get off the fence” and “pick a side.” Our collective liberation, security, and humanity is intertwined.No one is safe, and no one is free, until everyone is safe and free.Free Palestine, and stop antisemitic violence.
Pride, part 2. @revjarrettkerbel.bsky.social
Celebrating NK Pride with @revjarrettkerbel.bsky.social and St Luke’s! Very grateful for inclusive, loving leadership and community - both in my town and in my church. 🌈 ✨ God is love. Pride is protest. Joy is resistance.
HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?
NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country
HASSAN: That's incorrect
I realize this isn’t at all the point, but “thank you for your attention to this matter” is really a bizarre way to end that anti-ethics rant.
The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents.
What the fuck are we doing here?
I generally dislike the expression “…won the internet,” but that post really did win the internet. Whomever didn’t get it really missed out.
Canadians will vote tomorrow in the most emotional election since 1988. I have my own preference. But I note: no one doubts that the vote will be free and fair - or that the loser will peacefully accept the voters' decision. That may not sound much. It's more than others have.
Two NYT headlines stating the WH wants to promote more childbearing and the EPA is ending testing for chemicals that hurt children.
Two headlines in the New York Times today.
You can tell who the Good Guys are because they're the ones smashing a car window to drag a mother away from her child while wearing ski masks.
This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother.

One thing that most people are missing in the group text scandal: The Trump officials don’t appear clear on what *exactly* Trump approved, which is a huge problem in using military force. Stephen Miller says “as I heard it … green light.” 😱😬 www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/six-short-...
What you have to understand about Pete Hegseth copying and pasting war plans into Signal is that it almost certainly means he’s got classified documents on his personal UNSECURE devices. Signal isn't on a secure device...are our war plans on his personal devices? @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social
Donald Trump reposted an Elon musk tweet saying: “Best place to hide a dead body is page 2 of The Atlantic magazine, because no one ever goes there” referring to the story in The Atlantic about Pete Hegseth’s unsecured communications war planning over Signal
This is a real Truth Social post from Trump sharing a screenshot of an Elon Musk tweet. So if you were wondering, this is what they’ve decided to go with regarding today’s debacle🙃
Trump is using the Alien Enemies Act to deport any immigrant he chooses
And his lawyers claim nobody can even question his decisions
Since this law was used to put Americans in concentration camps in WW2
And Trump claims he can apply it with absolute impunity
This is a particularly chilling post
@raffic.bsky.social thought you’d like the sign 🥰
The people united will not be divided
What a gift to be in community today. There was such diversity of backgrounds and perspectives, but we all stood strong in our shared values. And what an incredible honor to be lead by my amazing priest in this moment for justice. #freespeech #immigrantrights #knowyourrights
The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.
Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.
You’ve heard of dictators “disappearing” persons with legal status in their countries because the tyrant disagreed with their political views
It looks like that’s perilously close to what is starting to happen here
Faith is resistance
