This is what ICE is for: arrests of those this administration opposes. He isn't an immigrant. He's a Brit, here's on a speaking tour, with all the proper visas etc. This could happen to a tourist, to an actor here to film in a U.S. production, to a CEO of a business flying in to check on the brand.

Vincent Price at 23/24yo.

Happy Horror Month to goth Daddy, bisexual icon Vincent Price.

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

At the end of this great, heartbreaking, true post by Dan, there are links to resources, organizing tools, whistle flyers/3d printing & orgs that could use our help. 💚

Hey y'all, help out our good neighbor Andy, a federal employee working hard for no pay during this shutdown.

hell yeah

CW perhaps: sedated horse being overhead wheeled into vet surgery. That said, the look on dog #5's face is the same our dogs had when viewing a horse (and the drunken neighbor/rider) that came up to our fenceline to chat: "WTF??"

Pringle was fully funded in 1 hour and 52 minutes! We know he looks grumpy, but he's very grateful for all your support. We'll keep you pupdated on his progress here ❤️‍🩹

If your Left Wing Politics is only about money, you're not actually Left Wing. Left-wing political ideology is about empathy, and empathy cannot exist outside of intersectionality.

If you're in the doom pits about all of this I extremely recommend getting involved in community defense efforts like this. These sickos want you to be isolated and terrified, and nothing blows that up like working with thousands of your neighbors to run them out of town in their sad rental SUVs

I haven't had the capacity to keep up with moderation lists for a bit, but this one is really obvious, so I'm stealing some energy from Future Me: a list for the extremely obvious wave of inauthentic accounts following today's newly-created US gov accounts bsky.app/profile/did:...

He can pull it off. I mean, wear the clothes well... yeah, that's it.

Four bull elk took time away from mating to join the No Kings protest in Estes Park, Colorado. That’s how serious this is.

And here I'd been blurring faces with Pixelmater (a P*shop-like tool)... an app that does it much easier, plus flattens the layers and removes metadata. zenopolis.com/software/dis...

Long article but very much worth the read.

Better turnout than expected in Des Moines. Couple thousand at least. I lasted over an hour, also better than expected. 😄👍

People love defining AI to encompass everything when they want to sell it and suddenly narrow that definition when it’s reviled.

your elk moment of calm today...

ICE has been kidnapping people right out of the food lines here in DC. Please don't forget us.

Andrew Cuomo: taxpayers should pay for $60 million in legal bills for my sexual harassment allegations Also Andrew Cuomo: $60 million is too much money to spend on a pilot program to deliver cheaper groceries

Tried tempeh for the first time. Accidentally picked up a package "flavored" as "smoky bacon". Smelled great while cooking, much better than it tasted. I'll finish the remainder, but next time think I'll get the plain stuff and season it separately. 👍

High school Turning Points clubs when non-white queer people want to participate.

🚨WOW. A unanimous per curiam (meaning no named author) panel of the 7th Circuit, made up of a Bush appointee, an Obama appointee, and a Trump appointee, decline to step in and block a lower court order barring the deployment of the National Guard in Chicago!

One disabled Marine veteran has not had a primary care doctor assigned to him since his previous doctor left in the winter, his wife said. The VA “was never like this before. There’s a lack of staff, empty rooms, locked doors.” (Published August)

At a raid on the drop-off line at a local elementary school, hundreds of parents had ICE surrounded within three minutes. ICE gave up and fled.

My neighbors have filled the Little Free Libraries with whistles so we can warn each other about ICE. Chicago is not afraid.

I see protest discourse is hitting the feed again ahead of No Kings—idk man, go, don’t go, …but if you do go make sure to link up with an org that’ll help you get into longterm organizing and if you don’t go, make sure to link up with an org that’ll help you get into longterm organizing

New-to-me slushie from the boba shop, and quite tasty: the Mangolada (like the spiced beer drink, Michelada, but... better. Ahem.) Combo of spicy and not-too-sweet, and added crystal jellies. Will definitely get again.

CMS has stopped paying your doctor..

Who you gonna call?

Slowly rebuilding the pantry. Gluten-free pasta on sale; purchased extra for storage. Also stocked up on store-brand canned beans (been eating more since going veg), and canned/unsweetened pureed butternut squash, pumpkin, and sweet potato. Some days it's all I can do to open a can, lol.

Dog walks are going well. Charlie is only good for a mile at most, and then slow walks the last 100 yards or so to the house. May take him on the initial dual--walk, bring him back, then take Gretchen out for another half-mile or until she tires out.

The unspoken meaning of regular "If this gets leaked we're cooked lololol" jokes is to remind everyone that they're in a position to coerce or destroy anyone who gets out of line.

Minneapolis’ first all-Indigenous firefighter crew hopes to inspire kids and adults in the community. “That made a huge difference in the community for them to see a Native man with long hair that looks like me on a fire rig going to 911 calls,” Johnny Crow said.

#NoKings Read both posts

#3GoodThings Morning dog walk, happy surprise: did not tire out! The big grins on commuter's faces when they see these two massive, fluffy dogs out and about. Neighbor called out and waved as I was walking the dogs back home, gave me a smile. 😄

Gonna be a sunny, warm day. Think I'll test my stamina a bit with a walk around the neighborhood, maybe bring the portable camp stool as an emergeny rest backup. And heck, let's get wild and reward myself with a boba drink. 🧋

video of people being snatched by ICE at a laundromat shows an intersection between housing and immigration enforcement. if your unit and building don't have (working, available) laundry, that's one more errand where you have to spend significant time in potentially vulnerable public space
