I gave my coworkers valentines and they (or the public library patrons) gave me another virus. Are we having fun living with Covid yet?

"Put your cheeks in a Beek" is a line quoted often around here. James Van Der Beek brought comedy gold to Don't Trust the B in Apt 23, an absolute gem of a show with a stacked cast. He was a star that could do it all. www.slashfilm.com/2099132/ja...

Tumbler Ridge is a small planned resource community, a winding 90 minute drive from the nearest city of at least 10,000 people. A massive number of people are going to descend there tomorrow. May those that arrive have respect and grace for the unimaginable grief.

I like to think this sign is needed because so many people try to make espresso at Ikea.

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

it's wild to me, how every random shitty man is vigorously defended by every other random shitty man on earth, without prompting, and at length

I helped conveners organize a community meeting for a fifteen block area, with "Preparing For ICE" as the theme. Less than 48 hours before the event we had to switch to Zoom. First meeting, so no email list to notify. And we STILL peaked at 234 people on the call at once. People are *done*

It’s easy to imagine agents of state violence — like ICE — as uniquely evil. But history shows, under the right conditions, most humans are capable of horrors. It’s only in confronting that reality that we can begin to inoculate ourselves against it. @yveilleuxlepage.bsky.social helps explain:

🧵“How do seemingly ordinary people become agents of state murder?” This is one of the guiding questions I ask students in my graduate class on genocide/state violence. With recent events, it is a question many Americans are asking. I do not have a definitive answer, but here is a reading list: 1/

I know he means that Canada is the northwestern flank of NATO territory, but I also can't help but notice that Alaska is on Canada's NW flank.

Call your reps. Let them know that if they vote for ICE funding, you will not vote for them ever again. Representatives need to feel the heat. NO on ICE funding. No excuses.

Donald Trump’s so-called "Board of Peace" is offensive. Mark Carney must reverse his decision to join Trump in this transparently colonial scheme. 1/4

Trump just placed a tariff on most of the EU of 10% that will increase to 25% in June unless they agree to sell him Greenland. This is mad king shit.

Bicycles Deliver The Freedom That Auto Ads Promise. I love this photo I snapped during the Canadian Road Cycling Championships in Edmonton a few years ago. As I was riding home in the bike lanes, a competitor passed by me on their way to Whyte Ave. for the criterium races.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

This makes me feel more patriotic than the national anthem ever could
