Like every Mother's Day today I am asking that you consider a donation to @nationalbailout.bsky.social to help free mamas who are separated from their families by the injustices of pretrial detention systems. secure.actblue.com/donate/freeb...

It's Election Day in Wisconsin. I was voter #59 in my rural city of 9,000 people.

Drove to visit family in Central Wisconsin this morning, and made a stop at Thimbleberry Books in Marshfield. A great used bookstore, with two adorable cats...one of which enjoys sitting on the cash register.

"Teachers have the rolliest eyes of any industry." This is so true. Any time our administrators go to a workshop, we all brace ourselves for the "great new thing that will fix all our problems" they'll come back with. We know it won't work, and we spend the entire staff meeting rolling our eyes.

I just learned that Northside Mutual Aid (supporting North Minneapolis families impacted by ICE) is still trying to meet $80,000 in rent needs from FEBRUARY. Can we move some funds in their direction? 🌻

I am going to link to organizations that I know for sure are helping trans Kansans. This thread will develop slowly as I either know people or will vet them. At this point we have not heard from anyone being helped via relocation resources. These exist, but I assume they are overwhelmed.

WE NEED YOUR HELP❗️It’s February 10, 2026, & rent is past due. I’m working with 7 different families who have been impacted by ICE & are now struggling to pay rent. I’m hoping to raise $6,082 to help pay the month of February rent for all of them. Cash app: $jasonchavezcruz Venmo: @ LiamDavisTemple

Hey everyone! Huge news! Our trans girl scout list has sold a total of 146,000 boxes as of today! But MANY trans girl scouts only have 20, 30, 40 boxes sold. I just resorted our list to put those on the top. Go get your girl scout cookies and make a trans kid's day!

There are endless clips that showcase Catherine O'Hara's brilliance. The one I come back to most is her duet with Eugene Levy in "A Mighty Wind." One of the most heartfelt scenes in any movie. m.youtube.com/watch?v=QwLZ...

A friend shared with me a girl scout cookie link from a group that's having a hard time selling in Minneapolis right now. digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/troop5...

A friend with Project HOME in Maine is asking for urgent help. With ICE descending on neighborhoods, people are afraid to go to work—cutting off income and putting families at immediate risk of eviction. This is a solidarity fund: 100% of donations go straight to rent.

Help protect Maine from ICE. I'm donating to Food For All, and if you: - repost this, I'll donate $1 - call your representative, tell them to ABOLISH ICE, and quote-post this with whether you got a machine or a staffer on the phone, I'll donate $10 - quote-post this with your donation, I'll match!

Trusted friends in Minneapolis tell me that this fund is supporting many people but does not have enough money. If you can give, please do: chuffed.org/project/1671...

If you want to support legal defense for people being detained, Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota is providing direct legal support to people in ICE custody right now. They're in the thick of it at the moment. ilcm.org

I know the Best Supporting categories have a reputation for being used as lifetime achievement awards rather than for individual performances. But giving the award to Lindo or Skaarsgard would accomplish both: acknowledge a long career of great work AND reward an exceptional performance. #Oscars

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the second sentence: "There were shotguns hanging from pegs and propped in the corners."

Share a television show that raised you.

Beyond the Indigenous people you have heard about being detained by ICE, hundreds of Indigenous neighbors in Minneapolis are afraid to go outside on their own land because we're in the "papers, please" stage of fascism apparently. Having tribal documents doesn't guarantee safety, but it helps.

Saw "No Other Choice" tonight. There are about a dozen scenes that made my jaw drop, including one involving a loud stereo that doesn't go where you expect it to. But the highlight is Mira (played by Son Ye-jin), who is an endlessly fascinating character. #FilmSky

As ICE operations begin in Maine, local organizers are raising money for rapid response via the Solidarity Fund. Donations urgently needed, starting to hear of arrests as of last night www.mainesolidarity.org

crazy that the website that I randomly decided to put together at 10AM yesterday has had over 25k unique visitors in 24 hours. please keep sharing with your networks.

Hey folks Calvary Food Shelf has been helping out people in Minneapolis for 30 years, and now they’re ramping up to meet the crisis, including doing home deliveries so people don’t have to risk going out. They’re just over halfway to their current goal—let’s get them all the way, shall we?

For people elsewhere who have asked how to support Minnesota while we’re overrun with nazi thugs, here’s an excellent list of places that could use financial help. Lots of choices. Thank you so much! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

The Powderhorn Park neighborhood has been the biggest target of immigration enforcement in Minnesota. It’s home to a large immigrant community who is now struggling to pay rent. Kidnappings are on the rise because people cannot stay home. Please help us out. Link is in my bio. gofund.me/350c67697

Pow Wow Grounds coffee shop, which regularly becomes a community hub when Minneapolis is in need, are still in need. People doing ICE watch/rapid response are using it to organize, rest, and refuel. Often for free when people donate food and coffee, for those who can't afford to buy from the shop

Right. Mutual aid needs on the ground in Minneapolis: Our kids are out of school. Many families are too afraid to leave their homes. Who’s delivering groceries today? Any donations needed?

MIRAC and MONARCA(/Unidos) are also providing rapid response to immigrants detained by ice. www.miracmn.com unidos-mn.org

Hi folks, I'm seeing a lot of "Eyes on Minneapolis" & "We support Minnesota" sentiment. Here's a tangible way you can help: Trump just suspended federal funding for SNAP benefits to Minnesota. Second Harvest Heartland is an MN-based hunger-relief org. Please donate what you can. www.2harvest.org

"Unsuspecting Protagonist With Interesting Past Must Fight Through Series Of Villains With Increasing Violence Until Reaching Final Boss" is my favorite niche category of film, and I will be there on opening night for this one. #FilmSky youtu.be/XYqQPiXpi4w?...

I finished "Shadow Ticket" by Thomas Pynchon this week, and one passage near the end is on my mind today. The protagonist, McTaggart, is given the chance to stay in 1930s Europe and help people escape to safety. The offer comes with a rumination on regret and the choices we make. #booksky

Dems may not be in the majority, but they still have power. The most basic is to refuse unanimous consent, which would grind Congressional business to a halt. Just sit one Dem in the chamber at all times to shout "No" at all unanimous consent requests. The problem is finding that one Dem.

I listened to 250 albums this year, mostly while working. About half were new releases, half were older. Here are the new albums I enjoyed* the most, plus a short thread on my favorites. 1/ #MusicSky *I'm not a music expert, so take everything here with a grain of salt.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Two come to mind. Being 7 years old, and seeing the dinosaurs in "Jurassic Park" for the first time. It was absolutely thrilling. Halfway through "Parasite," when the housekeeper returns in the rain, then goes into the basement. The entire theatre was on edge.

Watched "Sentimental Value" this morning. The performances are all beautiful, with Stellan Skarsgård being the standout. But what stuck with me most was the ending. It ties up all the plot lines nicely, while also respecting the characters. Rarely do I see such a pitch-perfect conclusion. #FilmSky
