NEW: I spoke to clergy and faith leaders who've joined protests at the Chicago-area ICE facility. Three say they've been shot with pepper balls, sometimes while praying. All say ICE is also violating their religious freedom, and one is arguing it in court. religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...

Not that she would, but it would’ve kind of cool if Taylor Swift saved NPR and not Target.

How it feels right now lol

The Global Sumud Flotilla traveled for months to deliver food, water, and medicine into Gaza, only for the humanitarians on board to be detained and treated like criminals. I call on the U.S. and Israel to ensure that humanitarian aid reaches Gaza and is safely distributed.

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others. Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla: “People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.” 1/3

Me hearing the news every day….

YOU MUST MAINTAIN YOUR STRENGTH AND POWER! TAKE YOUR MEDICATIONS.

Honestly, when I first heard the news my first reaction was “who is that?”

I’ve slept in a My Pillow (staying at my brother’s house in the Midwest) and it was objectively terrible.

Ole and Lena get married in Wilmar and are driving up to Sauk Rapids for their honeymoon. Ole puts his hand on Lena’s leg, and she says “you know Ole, we’re married now. You can go further”, so Ole drives all the way to Duluth

I like the proposed #IamAmerica Simple. it implies we r the embodiment real America. I like the format of hashtag first, then simple declarative statement about one's self, and then maybe hashtag again, plus some stars and stripes emojis.
