YES, of course we’re anti-ICE! We’re also pro-immigrants, pro-compassion, pro-humanity, pro-neighbor. Despite what some would have you believe, this is actually a winning message!

Sharing here especially for the people who think this bridge should not have been built!

NIMBY, but make it antifascist

If you would like your heart expanded and your rage activated towards justice and compassion—read the poetry of children incarcerated by ICE. Seth’s books are so incredibly important and I’m so deeply grateful to work alongside him 🙏🏻

When we bring a justice lens to public transit, the case for making it free makes itself. TLDR: fare-free bussing reduces crime and burdens on the already strained criminal legal system to prosecute fare-evaders (which is its own doomloop of “criminality”). 🎁 link

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

My kid learning the horn line on trumpet to Baile Inolvidable 🎺 🥹💃🏼

Great politics should look like a party you want to join

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Yes, AND — the spot where he takes a shot of rum right before the Grammy handoff is called “Conejo’s.” I’d say it’s meant to do exactly as we’re all doing

I’m GenX adjacent, but this is deeply true for me

@sgillikin.bsky.social and Jessica Taylor are treasures in our community, and they don’t leave people behind. Let’s make sure the SB hears from us!

I am shaking with anger at this decision. Wondering why little Liam Conejo Ramos was sent from MN to TX with his dad? It’s so they can hold ppl like them in detention indefinitely.

Q: What time is kickoff? A: The Bad Bunny concert kicks off around 8:00 or 8:30 p.m., but there will be pre-concert entertainment starting at 6:30 p.m. from one group called the “New England Patriots” and another called the “Seattle Seahawks.”

Sen Lucas is a masterclass in dealing with these thugs. I hope National Dems are paying attention!

Y’all, send a prayer out to immigration attorneys and the ppl they rep today. This is but one example of the myriad ways the admin is moving the goal posts, exacting deep harm (while professing to be upholding the law), and gutting constitutional rights that belong to ALL of us.

I’m adding Otter Guys to this list of shameful actors. It’s been a week and a half and not only have they not cleared their sidewalk less than 2 blocks from a school, but this morning they decided to park one of their trucks on the sidewalk, forcing a small child and her grown-up into the street.

🚨 Advocacy opp! VDOT has created a plan to redesign the W. Main / Ridge intersection to improve traffic flow + provide protected bike lanes and many pedestrian upgrades. It’s not perfect but it’s WAY better than what is there now, and it’s designed to get state funding to get it built.

Finally someone is saying what I’ve been thinking all day!

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

I know that fascism and pedophilia are giving us enough to be outraged over, but this move from the NYT might have me canceling my subscription. Wordle was always meant to be fun, free, and TIMEBOUND. mashable.com/article/word...

liam and his dad are home! and someone please get rep. castro a coat!

The moral clarity of your average elementary student. The poetry. Can we put the children in charge?

Damn. This is beautiful and heartbreaking.

The armchair snowplow drivers in this town. Whew.

Will SOMEONE in this godforsaken Congress actually take their oath to protect and defend the United States constitution with the same degree of seriousness as every person in Minneapolis?

Every bit of this! The moment you engage with or repeat your opposition’s position, you have already lost the argument. cc: anyone who has ever “handed it” to anyone with whom they are in fundamental disagreement

This may seem trivial in the face of fascism, but would love to see @nat4cville.bsky.social + @jenfleisher.bsky.social overturn this. We all know who this kind of ordinance was designed to police…

What they were doing was indefensible *before* they started killing American citizens

When your pal with 4WD pulls you out of the ice

Just called Kaine and got right thru. Given that HE VOTED TO CONFIRM HER, calling for her firing is the bare minimum he can do Kaine’s DC office: (202)224-4024

Our friends at The Haven just sent a message asking for donations to support over 80 community members who are homeless that The Haven and other partners have placed in hotels during this winter weather. They need to raise $27k. Please consider donating today. www.thehaven.org/give-online

I’ve long subscribed to the ‘better party’ theory of social change. You definitely want to be on the side with the brass band 🎺 🥁

The fire department plays a surprisingly important role in street design. We think CFD has some opportunities to improve in this area, such as prioritizing small trucks. Consider coming out Monday, Feb 2nd from 6-8pm at Carver Rec Center to give feedback. www.charlottesville.gov/m/newsflash/...

Industrious cyclist takes up cross-country skiing to annoy drivers in snowstorm.

I know this storm is causing a lot of havoc for folks (and power isn’t even out). But being able to do this down your block is fucking awesome ⛷️ ❄️

So many ways to help! Keeping this list handy

I don't want the Democrats to win the midterms, I want ICE to be dismantled, anyone involved with the murders prosecuted, and every person harmed compensated for the harm.

I’ve been lost for words lately and struggling with feeling helpless given whats going down in Mnpls. But I did just buy this shirt which supports the rad folks at Richmond Community Legal Fund and that helped a bit

we actually need to band together and let the dems know we will never donate another cent or vote for the party again if a single member of the party votes to give a single cent to ice ever again

Cville area storm prep tip: email yourself this link so you can easily access it via your phone. Top of the page has a link to report a power outage, zooming in to your location you'll have easy access to the status of reported outages

Misinformation and rumors cause panic — Share facts only! Try to get the SALUTE information so the sighting can be verified. Not “I saw ICE south of town” but “at about 10am, I saw 4 men in uniforms (couldn’t see what kind) in 2 unmarked black SUVs getting gas at the Exxon on Route 20”

I can’t see a marching band without 🥹 but this is next level

Any one of these daily atrocities should result in a full congressional investigation and a disbanding of the agency. The fact that it’s all just shrugged off by those with the power to stop it is a national disgrace.

A necessary first step that must then be accompanied by an end to 287(g)s across the board. Otherwise nothing changes!

@mtgillikin.bsky.social come for the policy, stay for the dad jokes!

These laughs feel so good!

Sen Lucas makes the rules!

Don’t let them tell you your vote doesn’t matter!
