I mean, Come ON
Image shows a brown and white pittie mutt staring into the camera. Her pink and white snout are resting on a brown couch cover and her left front paw is curled up underneath her cheek. Sunlight bathes her face from her right side and she is absolutely gorgeous.

My girl Olive, y’all. She’s just…like this and I love her so goddamn much
Image shows a brown and pittie mutt lying on her back on a wooden floor with her pink belly facing skyward toward the camera. Her enormous pittie mouth is wide the fuck open and her front oaws are in the air. She looks i sane but is also insanely cute.

Full update from our team. We STILL do not have admin access to the account.
The No Kings Instagram account has been reactivated, but administrators have not yet regained access.

We now know that Meta pulled down the account. For approximately 90 minutes, Meta did not respond to our team, even as the account was offline at the peak of our national day of action and livestream. The account is now viewable again, and Meta told us in their response email that they made a bad call.

However, administrators are still unable to access the account, blocking our ability to post about an ongoing day of mass action for early voting. Meta is currently not allowing the team to log in using the No Kings email address originally associated with the account. The team is troubleshooting that issue now.
This is not OK.

This is part of a much bigger concern: activists and movements around the world are increasingly vulnerable to decisions made by powerful technology platforms that can determine who gets heard and who gets silenced.

We will close the loop once our team is fully back in the account. This remains a developing situation.

Update: without explanation, and after being suspended for more than an hour during peak mobilization time, Zuckerberg's Instagram restored the No Kings account but we still lack admin access. More to come. Rest assured we will not stop organizing against this regime and its collaborators.

Just as the manosphere and its galaxy of hucksters want you to fork over your cash so you can feel better about yourself as a man, Republicans want to make you feel insecure about your masculinity so that you vote Republican. Masculinity, in this sense, is a lifestyle product: one that comes with a set of political beliefs predicated on the subjugation of women, minority groups, and anyone else who men are told are their inferiors.

Mullin just said the quiet part on camera: they're stretching RICO over a sitting congresswoman so the statute of limitations stops applying. That's how you build a case when there's no crime, you pick the target first and invent a conspiracy big enough to reach her. Insidious.

Black text on a white background
“More than 100 elected officials have joined me in calling on parking lot and garage owners across New York City: Don’t give ICE a place to operate. Don’t rent to them. Tell them they’re not welcome.

Last week, ICE agents shot Oscar Belgal in the neck in Marble Hill while his 5-year-old son sat in the car. They had been staging nearby in a private parking lot.

Our city laws keep ICE off public property. Now, we’re calling on private property owners to do the same. One garage on Morton Street already removed ICE vehicles after neighbors spoke out. Every owner has that power.”

ICE is increasingly saying that federal ownership of detention centers is the logical answer to state oversight. Today, a judge dismissed Maryland’s suit for records on ICE’s Baltimore holding rooms because the state law it used does not cover the federal government.

Judge dismisses Maryland’s bid for records on Baltimore immigration hold rooms
The ruling says the state’s subpoena cited a civil rights law that applies to private companies but not the federal government. It does not address conditions inside the rooms.
