Apparently I am interrupting naptime (And those aren’t sex toys, not that there is anything wrong with those. Just the heated mattress pad control and my kindle page turner)

Ringo will hold his toy mouse in his mouth while he makes garbled crying meows as he searches the house looking for me. Once he finds me, he spits his mouse on the ground and will give out an even louder cry because he needs to play fetch NOW!

in 2018!!!! can we please stop giving her plausible deniability for being one of the most disgusting humans alive

Sirs? What are you doing?

actual soup nazis

These blockades are a beautiful experiment in improvised community defense. They are easy to start with just a couple friends, and whatever you have lying around. Let's make the Twin Cities impassible to ICE and all supporting forces.

And now she has medical bills and car repair bills to pay because of the federal government, feels unsafe, and knows that her local police cannot be trusted. This is so fucked up.

May 30th?? So what do people do NOW when ice is snatching people off the street? And DHS is gassing people?

We know that 4more children from Liam's school are still in ICE custody in TX. But we still do not know how many children from MN in total have been detained by ICE.

Our thread of ICE and Border Patrol sex offenders is up to 53 agents, with many more to go.

BREAKING: the average IQ of people watching the Superbowl halftime show doubled with Tommy Tuberville’s announcement that he won’t be watching

Goddamn, the people who are willing to say “but why were kids there” without doing any thinking are wild to me. It was a daytime march, with families, with teachers and nurses, with pets, who just went by the facility and stopped briefly to chant. Maybe use that energy against the gassers.

If your children got tear gassed today I want to hear from you, even if you don’t live in my district. You can contact my office at [email protected]

My "What You Need To Know About Tear Gas" thread: First, tear gas is a particulate, not an actual vapor or gas. In some cases, this means you can get some of the tear gas off your clothes by standing in a stiff breeze or strong fan.

MGP: "Yes, they tear gassed a kid with the canisters they purchased with money I sent them, but uh we have to be STRATEGIC, we can't just stop this..."

They tear-gassed children, but protestors were blowing whistles, so both sides engaged in questionable tactics

I join my City Councilors in calling for prosecution of ICE for this flagrant violation of city and state law. This is illegal, and if ICE does this to families and children on a sunny peaceful daytime protest, I shudder to think what they do without that kind of daylight and public scrutiny.

When they decided to teach the kids (such as my 11yo) a lesson I don't think they understood the lesson was fuck ICE

This is a violation of city ordinance against the deployment of tear gas, and also a violation of our First Amendment right to peaceably assemble for a redress of grievances. Contact Nathan Vasquez, Mult Co DA, [email protected], and cc Oregon AG Rayfield, [email protected].

If you went out in Portland today in any capacity and you received an injury of any type that you would like documented by a forensic nurse for free, contact the Providence safe center! (503) 729-5814

In 2020 when I was chairing the CRC and the Use of Force/Crowd Control committee, we dedicated months to studying scientific research, community testimonials, and global best practices. Tear gas is toxic & an unacceptable use of force that has a disproportionate impact on vulnerable people. ENOUGH!

Everyone should familiarize themselves with the "less-lethal" weapons that the federal mercenaries use—both chemical weapons and impact munitions—and learn how to treat exposure. They mean to brutalize everyone who doesn't support their tyranny. Don't be intimidated. We can win. Keep fighting.

We should hold government employees accountable for assaulting law abiding citizens and attempting to silence their constitutionally protected speech.

The people who are saying shit like "well it's either this or the borders are totally open" are doing their best to convince America that we should have completely open borders.

2 blocks away, got a face full within minutes. Burned our eyes, noses, throats, skin. Many were retching, kids, elders could not breathe. All remained calm, moved quickly, no panic, to get to fresh air blocks away. Helpers washed our eyes. I’ll be 65 in Feb. Never b4 attacked by my own countrymen

This was the view after I moved away for some reprise. You can see after the flash bang grenade goes off a bird flying. Was a heartbreaking reminder it’s not just people impacted by this but animals and nature too.

If you are pissed off at how the Feds tear gassed families - tell it to the DA - Nathan Vasquez. He has more options than city council. And get it on public legal record with the Attorney General @agdanrayfield.bsky.social

If your argument is that children shouldn’t be brought to a protest because there’s a good chance a federal agency will tear gas all the peaceful attendees, you don’t really believe that we have the right to protest.

If there comes a day when police put their bodies between the feds with guns and their targets, I will praise the police for doing so. I don’t expect to see that day. It might even be a dangerous escalation. But until that day comes … I assume they are helping the feds.

The irony of my child’s sign they were so proud to bring this afternoon.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

also, if you live in portland, you should make sure to mention stuart lindquist's name every time you post something about this — he, alone, has the power to put an end to this facility any time he wants.

if you were tear gassed today you should send [email protected] an email and tell him about it

What mnemonic device did you learn as a kid to remember north east south west?

The Tennessee Holler account is as bad at the Alt national parks one. Friends, please stop following and reposting these accounts. We can all get swayed by an incorrect post from time to time, but when these accounts are told it is fake, they keep it up presumably for “engagement.”

I may have a stroke. Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.” A PROTESTant. I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.

On top of me, cuddled in the blanket, under the pillow Timon’s happy place And yes, he is happily purring, just irritated that I am taking a photo and not petting his head

I know I have picked good adopters for my kittens when a bunch of them have reached out about how frustrating and horrible the world feels right now and want to chat about things to do about it.

Drove to the pharmacy for more meds in the darkest sunglasses I have and my brain is screaming. But if you aren’t in the midst of a migraine, friends, please go outside. It is warm and sunny and I need you to take advantage of it for me.

I just drove past an abandoned car, with the doors open. (wrong side of highway, others had already stopped.) This is Minnesota. No one for any reason intentionally leaves their car on the side of the road w/the doors open in January Please understand: nothing has changed here. Please tell people

I was letting Passport play in the water when it was 1”-2” deep, then I would fill the tub for myself The last time we did that, he decided to jump back in when I was in there, but there was no room to play This was the first time he got to have a full tub all to himself. #Caturday

Please never forget all these powerful and wealthy men (and a few woman) didn't care at all that Epstein raped girls. Just like now, they only cared about their own interests, bottom line and pleasures. The girls remain an afterthought. A disposable toy or simply a "cost" of doing business.

My cats don’t bug me while I am in bed to feed them. However, I got up earlier, fed them, and went back to bed with this migraine, and now T is bugging me to get up and go down to the couch so he can be snuggled the way he wants. I appreciate that he loves me, but damn dude, give a girl a break.

Also trying to parse all the emails that read like they were written by a concussed golden retriever I think I finally get why these guys are so enthusiastic about getting chatbots to write for them
