I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article
Headline: ICE came for their neighbor so these Tennesseans formed a human chain to protect him

Hello, Bluesky friends! I've been absent from this platform lately, but I do miss engaging with you. You might notice a change in my profile name. That's because the blog I'm working on is taking a new direction, from The Midlife Coven to The Crone Coven. Stay tuned for updates! #midlife #witchsky

How is it that Moscow Mitch McConnell was able to blockade the democratic agenda as a minority, and the dems can’t do shit to stop a criminal in the White House??

Got these two jumpers just now, before I even had a chance to formulate a question. No idea what they could mean. I was mindlessly shuffling and didn’t have any type of concern or topic in mind. Given the pairing, I feel like it deserves at least some contemplation. #tarotsky #witcksky

I've been struggling to finish my article on the element of Water. So much grief & hate has been front & centre this week. So instead I am sharing a quick & dirty ritual for resisting fascism/oppression, protecting targets of hate, promoting justice/equality. #WitchSky #MagicalResistance
naturesnook8.wordpress.com
Empowerment and Protection Ritual
This ritual was originally started with the intention to tune the mind and spirit to resist fascism in general while focusing on empowerment and unity for both it's victims and those fighting. Upon reflection I feel like it can easily be extrapolated out to cover other more specific niches. The calls in particular you may feel drawn to re-write to better reflect the qualities you want to embody and call to action.

The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.” The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

Alex. Pretti. A good person. A caring person. A healthcare worker. A nurse. A Minnesotan. A REAL American. Executed in the street for standing up with the community he loved against the brutal invasion of the federal government's favorite murderers, pedophiles, rapists, and true pieces of dog shit.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now
