My position is always this: we are responsible for the state of our nation. Until we are dedicated to moving those around us in our daily lives to more progressive positions,thus moving the electorate, we will never see the progressive future we want.

So we impeach Trump, we then get JD Vance. Now what? They impeached him twice. Did not get the majority to remove. Stop using impeachment as the litmus test for your future vote.

Someday someone’s gonna try to remake Big Trouble in Little China and it’s gonna be the worst thing you’ve ever seen.

It never ceases to amuse me how the white electorate bangs on about qualifications, "DEI", eschews experts as "elites", etc., unless it's a non-white/non-Christian, but runs after the newest shiny thing without experience, track record, etc. apnews.com/article/dere...

My son's youngest uncle,(38) just 5 years older than my son, passed 2 days ago after being on life support for 2 weeks. My ex mother in law has lived to see her second grandchild murdered and now her youngest pass.

Yes he was handsome. But give some credit to the meticulous attention his wife Anna Murray Douglass paid to his care, his home, & the presentation of his garments. It was Anna, a free woman who he met in Baltimore, who out of her meager savings gave FD the money for his train ride to escape.

People do understand that electeds catering to those that elect them, thus they DO cater to their base? The political vote in America isn't wildly left leaning. It *could* be more so if regular people did the job of talking with friends, family, community and even then it isn't guaranteed.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

The largest Habitat for Humanity project in the West (Hope Springs in Greeley, CO) just lost $1M in federal funds. Plans for 40 homes this year are scaled back to 20. Let's make it 21. We've raised $40k tonight! I'll match the next fifty $5 donations: give.greeleyhabitat.org/campaigns/43...

My mom, who lives in a pro MAGA Bobert rural ag area, encountered an elderly white veteran who told her about ICE coming to his door to let him know he cannot post anti ICE rhetoric. Now he is old enough to be confused about agencies, however it is still a govt arm at his doorstep.

“So we’re thinking slave patrols, but like, cute.”

Today is day 20 (depending on when incarceration countdown begins) of Diana Crespo Gonzales’ incarceration in an ICE prison in Texas. Children are not allowed to legally be detained for more than 20 days.

Off to Palm Springs with a client. Get to sit in a house with people who hate that I am there and make snide comments as if I cannot hear them.

But they itnitially raised it over 25%

Amazon let ICE into their facility in Hazel Park, MI.

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

New from 404 Media: here is the user guide for ELITE, the tool Palantir made for ICE. A map shows people on a map; ICE clicks them, brings up their dossier. ICE uses to find which neighborhoods to target. We obtained it, you can now read the document for yourself: www.404media.co/here-is-the-...

The industry already has subpar pay and very few protections. This will force either placement or family care.

This is why we had Jim Crow instead of truth and reconciliation after slavery ended. People are so quick to absolve anyone who pays lip service to changing their mind about human rights violations instead of letting them live with the social consequences of their words

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

I was having a conversation with someone about elder care with regards to placement in facilities. The entire time this person complained about how bad they have become and when presented with concrete actions to help, they said it wasnt their responsibility.

I truly despise bitching about things yet doing nothing but pointing at other people to fix the problem.

IC1848 - The Soul Nebula. I am officially blown away by the detail in my first real SHO image. This is just 30 mins on each filter. I can't wait to see the results when I get several hours on it. ASI2600 MM, Esprit 100ED, Altair 3nm Ha, Sii and Oiii filters. #astronomy #astrophotography

You know, snow doesnt have to mean bitter cold. We asked for snow, not this cold.

I fear my tipping point into madness is "Thus is un-American" posts in response to ICE terrorizing immigrants. I beg you to open Wikipedia (I would say a book but let's start small) and read up on The Trail of Tears, Fugitive Slave Catchers, Japanese internment, Indian Boarding schools & Jim Crow

Since I know that this is something that white people love to do to Black people I know yall are responsible for irking the Greenlanders with this dumb shit too. STOP APOLOGIZING AND DO THE RIGHT THING!!! Your apologies don’t mean jack shit and yes I’m talking about all of you.

Chinese Americans are “liable to arrest at any time and place by zealous immigration officials upon the charge of being unlawfully in the country.” -Chinese American advocacy group in complaint to U.S. Secretary of Labor (1910)

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

However else you feel about BLM One of the founders is a Black Immigrant, another is Afro Latina The Black Immigrant experience was always part of this, Audre Lorde was Bajan Diasporic and immigration concerns have always been a part of discourse

It was your job, as voters, not to elect the guy who was clearly going to do all this. You failed at that job. It was not the democrats’ “job” to convince you. The democrats were job applicants. So were the republicans. Your job was to hire the better applicant. You failed spectacularly.

They think you’re stupid. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8fSxaDb/

It's so dry here, that driving home tonight in the wind it looked like we were driving in fog. It was dirt blowing off of people's yards. Kept and landscaped yards.

One of the stories that makes me the saddest out of this ICE invasion is one out of the Minnesota Star Tribune today about ICE agents eating at a little Mexican restaurant in the small town of Willmar, Minn, —and then, when they were done, arresting some of the workers.

A district attorney, a state senator and a trash-hauling entrepreneur are among the 22 candidates bidding to succeed former U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in a Georgia congressional seat. https://to.pbs.org/3Lu2R5d

Them dirty ass heauxs better not fuck with my King Cake ppl

Just watched The Whale for the first time. At the end, the emotion could be felt in the pulsing of my ears against my headphones.

Senate Democrats did their part in getting it this far. Republicans cowered for their daddy & are continuing to give away the power of a Congressional majority. Replace them with more Democrats.

My granddaughter just walked into her first job interview.

PLEASE SHARE THIS EVERYWHERE.

🤷🏿‍♂️It's weird that people aren't talking about what he means when he says *China will get it." China is not planning to invade a NATO nation. China is negotiating with Denmark, a sovereign nation, about mining the minerals, and using arctic shipping routes to cut delivery times to EU nations.

White people make up 70% of the electorate. More white people sat out last election than there are non-white people in the US combined. The majority of the remainder voted for Trump. Kinda wild and very racist of you to hide behind a tiny minority of Black men when that demo voted majority D

So satisfying

There is a GFM for Juan Carlos the young man beaten, kidnapped and robbed by ICE We can support his healing efforts: gofund.me/6766048bc
