Fresh post, same ask. Currently $1215 / $5900 for rent for 3 neighbor families who are sheltering in place due to ongoing ICE terrorism in the Cities. Even if ICE left rn (and they're NOT) these folks have been out of work for weeks and will NOT catch up without our help.

Darlings, a moment.
Those who cheer for you out loud, check in when you’re low, and adore you without question—those are your people.
Been thinking a lot about how my mom isn’t here for some pretty cool shit. But I am deeply grateful for my people, near and far.
I take nothing for granted.

"The masks right now are for officer safety reasons."
Homan thinks this is an argument for masks.
It's actually a deep admission of the fundamental moral failing at the base of their lawless actions.

Urge your reps to ban Surveillance Pricing and boycott any business that uses it. If it’s allowed to take root, you will be robbed for the rest of your lives.
(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.

Sometimes, our hearts ache with an old longing—a grief born of years past. It’s impossible to predict its arrival.
But the space between joy and sorrow is often slim. Sometimes, that territory is untenable. Sometimes, it is a trespass.
The heart still beats, the song the same, but ever-changing.

Lakers fan here. Yes.
Majestic Realty, which is owned by Los Angeles Lakers & Kings co-owner & Republican donor Ed Roski Jr., is listed as the broker contact on the listing for a proposed $80M ICE detention facility.
These globally recognized sports brands could suffer reputational damage. Time to boycott?

I’d trust these faeries waaaaay more than AI.
Whenever people gush over AI I'm going to think about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle being utterly convinced that he'd discovered real scientific evidence of real fairies because he saw these pictures

As a Jersey girl, this is correct. This is a big deal and a bat signal.
I am gonna go out on a limb and say that a Jersey dude so horrified that he went to his first protest and is trying not to cry on camera has a pretty good chance of staying radicalized. And that while Bluesky loves to pick apart things like this, this kinda video moves the needle for OTHER dudes.
Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

I keep up with a few friends from HS.
My oldest friend and I have each other’s back forever.
My best friend and I have been friends for so long our relationship can legally drink—maybe rent a car.
I’ve also met incredible people in such unexpected ways. Grateful to everyone who enriches my life.
