Hey @murray.senate.gov! Maybe it's me but...I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD GIVE THESE GUYS ANOTHER FUCKING THIN DIME! NOT EVEN A NICKEL FOR THE SUBWAY!

Apparently I saw this post a couple days ago & didn't clock what it actually was about until people started making jokes about Air Force One. And even then it took me another day. Disconnecting from social media has done wonders, but I miss gems like this! What a...for lack of a better term...ride!

Unfollowed an artist I met cuz I happened to accidentally click on his following list and realize he was following Turning Point and a bunch of other related accounts. Reflecting back, he's a straight white man who caters to people w deep pockets & his work is seen in a lot of high end businesses.

And then they came for me...

Fuck Patty Murray. There's no reforming the gestapo. You can only bankrupt fascism. That's how you defeat them. History has shown us this time and time again. @murray.senate.gov you need to get your shit together before we primary your weak ass.

Boy am I glad I played Settlers of Catan so much. Let me know if y'all need some sheep or wheat as the banks get hit by a cyber attack when we start invading Greenland.

I'm gunna be honest, I feel my community members doing a whole lot more to rally around our immigrant neighbors, BIPOC, LGBTQ, women, small biz...but feeling particularly abandoned by most politicians who demand at the door, armed only with lawyers who can't fight the lawless, and then don't go in.

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

Anyone from outside of Seattle, the South End is a very diverse area of Seattle. Many immigrants and their children live in the South End. Had a convo with an immigrant biz owner down there not long ago. He believed Trump was going to do something about criminals & homeless. Think about him a lot.

Young men under 26 who were required to sign up for selective service...now is the time to start documenting your conscientious objector status. Go to your community organizations, your churches, heck, even your hobby groups and write formal letters about your beliefs. It will be very important!

It's not just me, right? These AI commercials hurt my eyes every time they're on my high def TV. I think these ads are designed for 480p tvs. They're absolutely unwatchable. Which makes me NOT want these products. And don't get me started on THAT scene in the trailer for Disclosure Day.

I'm still incredibly insulted by the "$3 meal" nonsense that this administration is throwing at us and it's the least appetizing meal they can think of. Chicken, broccoli, and a corn tortilla. They realize that even at $3 a meal, per person, a family of 3 is spending $810-837 month in groceries.

Guys. I think Kyle Gass had a point.

John Birch Society having a totally normal moment.

Just watched Bugonia and the ending was pretty insane. But also, the premise was sad because I have interacted with folks who have delusional beliefs and they threaten to do dangerous things because of conspiracy theories.

Gee. This doesn't sound ominous in the slightest!

Oh, I guess Scott Adams died and I missed my chance at an RIP Bozo chant.

This is what I mean when I say ICE is a terrorist organization.

Yes. You are following this correctly.

Time to start carrying around your @aclu.org Know Your Rights cards and use those as your papers when they demand "Papers Please". You can usually find them at most public libraries.

Guys. The posts about the news that make you download an app to read, or that have clickbaity headlines are scams. I don't care if it's news you want to read about. In this era of PBS and NPR defunding, it might be time to just throw them your coin to read the news. I trust them not to squander it.

I mean, we told you this was coming. Like, it was in the playbook of villainy. We absolutely spelled it out.

Remember when the conservatives were up in arms and clutching their pearls, sobbing about the Mayor of Minneapolis telling ICE to get the fuck out of their city? The silence here is deafening.

Not to mention he murdered people on boats and blew up structures in Venezuela.

if you put this in a script even erin brockovitch would be like “too on the nose, dial it back”

My kids were toddlers and loved Lilo & Stitch. Now they're grown and still love Lilo & Stitch and also are great men who say FUCK ICE!

I noticed this narrative spreading like wildfire during the last election. Bigger than 2016. I lost friends during the 2016 election because they insisted this same narrative & I pressed them further to rethink that line of thought. Even had one person during Biden's run insist HE was the pedophile.

Having served in multiple countries run by ruthless dictators, I am accustomed to their tactics for keeping their populations under control. One of them is to employ a legion of fake opposition figures who promote the false narrative that "all parties are the same, so why bother voting?"

Bahaha hahahahahahahaha! This is the FUNNIEST fucking scammer spam I've ever gotten. Losing it over here. 😂😂😂😂

Weird seeing people in the same argumentative breath say that Good was violent and a threat, but then conclude with her being a weak lesbian and mouthy but not a threat...but still a threat. Yeah, man. The threat is that she will show how violent ICE actually is. And yeah, that's her strength too.

These morons.

Jan 11 in #Seattle and everywhere in our nation, #ICEOUTFORGOOD vigils and rallies bring us all together to demand deceny and the rule of law, not brutality. In Seattle, meet at Cal Anderson Park 11am-1pm. There are rallies in every city - or why not organize one yourself in your neighborhood?

Hmmm. Maybe this was a bad idea.

Morning.

We visited Renee Good's memorial. There, we met a group of Somali Minnesotans — who too have been viciously attacked for weeks — warmly hosting everyone. Flowers & stuffed animals galore. Neighbors continually offering sambusas & hand-warmers & water. Grief. And belief. Scenes from Minneapolis:

I know this is coming to our neighborhoods soon. I worry for my immigrant friends.

They hate Minnesota because we are a people who believe that "we all do better when we all do better." Minnesota is one of the wealthiest, safest, and cleanest states in the country *because* of our openness and generosity. Our quality of life is a direct challenge to their zero-sum worldview.

Jonathan Ross worked for Border Patrol before ICE

This says it all.

I may be a bitch, but I'm not their bitch.

It’s getting so the only safe place to be is in the Epstein Files. 🔄

Yeah, they mean to harm anyone who stands up to them because they have turned off the morality switch in their brains with the bounty money offered to them from the Trump admin.

You know. Books, physical movies, and even external harddrives are more permanent forms of information than clouds, streaming, and leaving your stuff online. Your data can be manipulated in the hands of others. Don't trust that what you place here won't be used to manipulate you and others.

Yeah. This is the chaos that MAGA voted for. Btw, I'm noticing more & more empty businesses. I haven't seen it this bad since the 2008 economic crisis. I watched stores closing left and right. Difference is we had someone in office who chose to do something about it.

They look around at the bodies collecting at their feet, at the "Dept of *War*", at the second strike on downed boats, and say things like, "we are lions and are gunna take things by force"...then ask:

Jesus Christ. As someone from a city that has a new Democratic Socialist mayor, I'm bracing for impact. I've already encountered some concerning behavior from someone in a position that could send an immigrant to be kidnapped that makes me think it's only a matter of time.

We are experiencing the worst people our country has ever produced.
