Scary Austin

The Last Rose of Summer is a true story about corruption in #cancer research. I discovered a cheap, plant-derived drug that could replace some much more toxic (but more lucrative) therapies. #BigPharma got involved and suppressed the research. Eventually I had to publish the story in thinly veiled fiction and survive a bunch of murder attempts.

"Mary Austin" is a pseudonym, as my publisher forced me to use one. So... hi, I'm "Mary." 🤷‍♀️

I just took a kitty to the vet for a checkup. He wasn't thrilled about it, but he's doing well.
Because my vet has been working hard all morning, and I know she hates #Trump, I told her the news about #PamBondi to brighten her day. We talked about the protests and she told me that her Trump-voting clients are telling her all the time now that they're over him.
Also I just read that Alex Jones called for Trump to be removed from office. Alex Freaking Jones.

This resister says on their account:
"Today, on Trans Day of Visibility, the governor of Idaho signed a bill banning pride flags on government buildings. (Failure to comply results in a $2,000/day fine).
"But the mayor had a badass response.
"She lowered the city’s progress flag, and lit city hall up in trans colors. 🏳️‍⚧️
"Idaho is a difficult state to live in, with extreme anti trans laws. But acts like this remind us that we belong here 🏳️‍⚧️"

2026-04-01 19:03:22 UTC

In #Idaho they banned all but official city or state flags on public buildings in an effort to stop City Hall in Boise from displaying the Progress #Pride flag.
So the Boise city government made the Progress Pride flag an official city flag. The loophole meant the idiots in the state government had to try again.
So they passed another bill to ban that, and the mayor of Boise lit up City Hall in #trans colors for #TransDayOfVisibility.
She's like "I fuckin dare you."

The woman who was arrested in a Statue of Liberty costume speaks out. She says it was her fourth arrest for peaceful protest in #LosAngeles. She talks about the inequalities in civil liberties throughout US history and the plight of the people who are currently in those concentration camps. She says she was detained for only six hours, and that her arrest was merely symbolic of what goes on with other people.
She wants everyone to put in the work.

I also do higher risk stuff where I take more precautions than that, but the above list is all you need for No Kings. Last year at No Kings 2 there were hardly any counter protesters nationwide. It's always possible, but as I said you just have to ignore those people.
The regime is not going to hunt you down because you went to a No Kings protest. These people can't find their own asses with both hands and a road map. They really can't find all the millions of us who march.

2026-03-27 19:41:43 UTC

I've been through 93 protests and I'm still in one piece.
My protest safety:
1. Use SpotHero.com if you have to drive a car
2. Don't forget sunscreen and water
3. Go with friends and/or tell someone where you'll be
4. Ignore counter protesters if there even are any. I went through a lot of this crap early last year when protesting was scary and if you don't give them the fight they want, they just yell and then go away.
5. Don't smoke, those things will kill you.
Just sayin'.

2026-03-27 19:26:23 UTC

Y'all, I am PUMPED for #NoKings tomorrow. We're gonna have great weather, I'm gonna be out with my bridge troll crew spreading joy and silliness, and my neighbor has recovered enough to go to one protest or another with me. It's a game time decision whether his knee is okay for the big downtown protest or whether I go with him to our smaller town's protest after I do the downtown march. Either way, it's gonna be great. I anticipate posting gobs of signs, dogs, and dogs wearing signs.

Today some Nazi was driving out of the ICE facility in a car with no front plate. He saw me sitting there with a camera, stopped, backed up, and then came back out with two DIFFERENT out of state license plates on the car, the front one badly askew for good measure.

If you look at the Walmart website-- or any other major online retailer in the US-- you'll see that gas containers are best selling items right now. I just filled up two new 5 gallon gas containers in addition to my car, one for me and one for my neighbor in case of God knows what.
The 70s were before my time, but I have heard about only being able to fill up your car in the US on certain days. The gas shock we're headed for is going to make that look like the good old days.

#Denver #Colorado becomes the latest city to ban masks on law enforcement, including #DHS. Now they did this in LA months ago, and the LAPD has not enforced it. This could be different, though. The Denver police chief has said his officers will protect citizens from #ICE using excessive force. We will see how this goes.
Regardless, pressure matters. Seeing more and more resistance is exacting a toll on the Nazis. These are not brave people.

Two protesters got married (seriously) in inflatable costumes outside the #Portland #ICE facility. The couple that braves pepper spray together, stays together. ❤️

Remember how they were using Penske? Then they got reported to Penske multiple times and all the franchisees involved banned those users. The company reached out to DHS and asked them not to use Penske trucks.
Now it's Budget or UHaul, wash rinse repeat.
Obviously a boycott is in order if a company GETS the report and does nothing, but the main thing now is to report! It's very unlike that any truck company wants to rent to them, between liability reasons and public reputation.

This is going on everywhere, not just #Chicago. #ICE is not welcome in most hotels or restaurants. They have to book under false pretenses at most hotels; then protesters find them and make noise outside until the hotel throws them out.
Nor do truck companies intentionally rent to them-- at the very least, they do not want anyone riding in cargo trailers for liability reasons! If you EVER see ICE in a rental truck/trailer, get the USDOT number of the rental and report them to the company.

The antifascist frog, alongside Freedom Chicken, regularly protests outside the #ICE facility in #Portland #Oregon. Obviously, nobody wears a costume like that to do any violence; it's to ridicule the Nazis and amuse your own side, as I've learned.
A few days ago I saw a video in which a Nazi #DHS agent sprayed pepper spray into the air hole of the frog costume, in an effort to cause serious harm to an obviously nonviolent protester.
The frog is back at the facility like nothing happened.

I saw Bishop Barber talking about this.
Cities across the US have citizen organized #ICE rapid response crews, but in #LosAngeles they have formalized these teams into "Liberty Vans." Each van carries a lawyer, a faith leader, and a videographer to document ICE raids and initiate community support.
We've all seen how ICE agents run from faith leaders and crowds of ordinary white people, so imagine the response when a van with three professionals rolls up.

They so desperately needed a martyr, a Horst Wessel. They didn't get one.

Just like I keep saying: although life sucks, we ARE slowly winning.
#PeteHegseth is not the only official "crawling out of his skin" with fear of assassination. They ALL are. They know very well that their most likely outcomes in life at this point are either getting merked by another Nazi, or our side regaining power and sending them to prison for life.
Hold that in your mind when you are hating life: their situation is actually worse.

BTW every US city has ICE watch rapid response and #ICE court watches. It's really helpful if you're fluent in Spanish and/or have legal knowledge, but it's absolutely not necessary. They need bodies first and foremost. ICE watch was telling me yesterday how much their numbers have grown *as people find out about them.*
That's been a hugely limiting factor all along. God, we could've already had the revolution if the media weren't so full of pathetic cowards. But we're making progress anyway.

Professional organizations of doctors are creating their own, *evidence based* vaccine recs to counter Sideshow Bob's quackery. The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology just reaffirmed the importance of #Covid boosters for pregnant people and those who are lactating or planning to become pregnant.
You probably already saw the AAP do the same for kids.
It remains to be seen what insurers will do about covering #vaccines that *real* doctors recommend.

Heh, you can still warn him that ICE is stealing deputies from departments that collaborate with them.
Plus, a lot of people are complaining about the waste of tax dollars. It's certainly true that he DGAF about the Constitution or justice, and I'm sorry you have a dick like that in authority. But even a dick still has to listen to people screaming about tax waste or warning that he'll lose deputies he trained at his expense.

Boston-based comedian Robby Roadsteamer continues to serenade the cops in #LosAngeles and they don't love it quite as much as his fellow protesters do.
Well, they can suck it. Collaborating with #ICE is the law enforcement equivalent of healthcare professionals who collaborate with #MAHA. Either way, it's hateful gross incompetence and it kills people.
As a remind, MY city's cops do not collaborate with ICE. 👏🏼 Do yours?
