One food I cannot even put in my mouth.

It’s day 97 of the ICE occupation of MN.

As more folks venture back to the rhythms of daily life, we also know the occupation is not over.

Together, we keep our neighbors safe, and the systems and relationships we’ve built sustain our community.

Keep building community safety, together.

they're gonna have to bring back work from home because there ain't gonna be any gasoline

OMG they released the deposition videos where they revealed that these two DOGE bros were just feeding grants into ChatGPT and saying "tell me if this is DEI in less than 120 characters."

Looks like a “sundog.”

This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

Six years ago, seventeen-year-old Finn Rooney killed himself in his home in Walden, Vermont. A couple days later, his community held a bonfire in the parking lot of Hazen Union High school in Hardwick. Hundreds of people came. Tom Gilbert, who organized the bonfire, asked his friend Heidi Wilson to write a song for the occasion. The song was called Hold On. She made sure it was a song everyone could sing. And they did. Now people are singing this song all over the world. People in Minneapolis have been singing it to ICE agents. They’re singing it for their neighbors who are afraid to leave their houses. They’re singing it in Wales and Australia and Ireland in solidarity with the people of Minneapolis. Peole are singing it all over, to give each other some comfort and some courage.

Patients say measles 'worse than expected' as Utah hits 350+ infections, doctors say Health officials plead with residents to vaccinate against measles as Utah hits 358 infections.

I will never get over how the result of going through a global pandemic that killed over 7 million people, including 1.2 million Americans—and where we swiftly created an effective vaccine for it—was massive growth in anti-vax sentiment, the rise of RFK Jr., and the return of fucking measles.

Penning a script for a new movie about spring in Maine, hopefully Daniel Day Louis will come out of retirement for;

A year long investigation into the Hyperloop found …

“The truth was far simpler, far dumber, and far more prescient: Musk and his lieutenants truly had no idea what they were doing.”

Thing that really gets my goat is the way people are eager to fund this bullshit but you need eleven layers of analysis and a ton of collateral if you want to open a small grocery store in a food desert.

My friend and I just canceled our planned hike of the Carters (White Mountains, NH) next week. Weather too dodgy, we’re kinda old and creaky, etc., etc.

That is quite some ear! 👏

"Stepping up" means doing the right thing at cost to oneself, you dick [Minogue].

It does NOT mean profiteering from other people's misery.

Shout out to Boston

Rahm Emanuel should rush right out and eat a bag of dicks. Fuck this guy into the sun.

And there's no real reason to trust him on diet and nutrition either, other than that he stumbles onto a crumb of something sensible amid the buffet of idiosyncrasies, personal preferences, and eugenicist biases.

RFK Jr. doesn't actually believe that people have the right to make their own decisions about their health: he's trying to make vaccines - just about the best-validated public health intervention imaginable - less accessible because of *his own whims*. There is no science beyond his vaccine policy.

Color photograph looking at a residential intersection at night. A streetlight shines from a corner and over the street, illuminating leaves on branches stretched out over the street over a gray sedan of some kind, a porch light illuminating a red door next to a picture window on the house behind the tree. Stretching up over the tops of the silhouettes of trees you can see red lights of a radio tower shining against a dimly glowing overcast sky

This is genocidal torture.
