A whiteboard leaned against a shelf with many trinkets. On the whiteboard, it says βWhen you look at a blank page, think of who you loveβ
In his acceptance speech for award for best screenplay, Ryan Coogler said βwhen you look at a blank page, think of who you loveβ and I dunno, that really moved me so I wrote it down and sat it on my desk to look at while I work

This is what gaming is all about
Reading American history will break your heart a thousand times but it will also fill you with such admiration and awe for all the people who were excluded from the protection of Americaβs founding principles and fought to promote, protect and expand them anyways
If you can remember a world before βThe Santa Clause 2,β you can remember the world before DHS. If you canβt, well, imagine you can imagine it.

HAPPENING NOW: DHS just expedited Liam Conejo Ramos' asylum hearing to this morning, meaning it's possible the five-year-old and his family could be deported as soon as today.

Itβs illegal in Minnesota to use plates that arenβt registered to the vehicle using them, and that applies to unmarked law enforcement vehicles.
The director of Minnesotaβs Driver and Vehicle Services division said in a letter to Kristi Noem that such violations βwill not be tolerated.β
Another 11% of the plates reviewed by the Star Tribune had some kind of irregularity, including expired tabs from different vehicles or plates registered to a nonexistent business. A quarter of the vehicles were rentals.
We reviewed more than 100 Minnesota license plates attached to immigration enforcement vehicles in recent weeks.
We found that nearly 60% were not registered with the state of Minnesota, including the Chevy Tahoe that federal agent Jonathan Ross traveled in the day he fatally shot Renee Good.
This could easily be the next ICE murder in Minnesota. My god, this is sadistic.

look this is just a whole branding problem, what if we just called them roundabouts?
filter blockades: scary, bad, confusing, american
roundabouts: less threatening, already exist in places here, vaguely british
They're trying to tell us that they always get what they want. That there is nothing so hideous that they won't do it, even if it's kidnap a five year old child and then, when they lose, really try even harder to make him suffer more.
Fuck them.
I panicked π
I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
holy shit
I've done threads about Pizza LucΓ© recently and not just about ordering brownies from them. They got a lot of hate on Facebook for closing for the strike & their social media person handled it well. They sent me a gift card after my husband died & I told them what their food had meant to us. β€οΈ π§΅
right now βillegalβ is anything a billionaire fascist doesnβt like. we need to learn to call that out as the bullshit it is.
I fear I love Starfleet Academy episode 1
Donβt forget the kids who werenβt lucky enough to have a cute photo go viral to get people outraged on their behalf. They ALL must be released.
Georgia Fort's is chilling, and it's being overshadowed by the equally chilling arrest of Don Lemon.
A GoFundMe is being set up for Fort. In the meantime, you can support her work directly β without paying massive fundraising platform fees β through her website:

Anne Frank died of typhus at Bergen-Belsen
This week, my illegally detained neighbor -- an asylum seeker with a wife and two children -- will have a hearing that gives him a chance to get home to his family and get his asylum case back on track. But he will need to pay a $6000 bond.

It was fantastic to see Scarlet Elf Cups have returned to the local country park. I found them there for the first time last year, and they're back in the same spot. The Jelly Ears were plentiful, too. #fungifriends
Not ice, its fungi. Several kinds actually.

Listen itβs great this happened and we should celebrate and encourage it at the same time we canβt talk about this without noting that it happened through a series of phone calls, one of which was the womanβs husband chatting with the police chief, who he had known for years.
34,000 signing up for this work AFTER seeing their fellow citizens gunned down by federal thugs in cold blood? I'm chugging whatever the opposite of doomerism is
movements are as much about building themselves up as they are learning resilience & sustainability in the face of collective burnout, which folks often donβt realize theyβre in until after they smash up meaningful spaces/relationships.
burnout is an inevitability. how you move through it is not.
DHS has a whole citizen detainment system set up in Minnesota. They snatch citizens off the street (often with proof they are citizens), detain them for a few hours, steal their phones, then release them into the cold.
It ainβt about deporting citizens; itβs about terrorizing a whole population.
