Saturday at a rally and march in honor of Renee Nicole Good.
I stayed on our local Mom for Liberty, Beth Bourne (of Harassing-Hawai’i-Drag-Queens fame) to prevent her from following and harassing other marchers and families.
How she reacted still surprised me.

MAGA is not popular and their hold on power is crumbling under the focus and strength of mutual aid and common decency. Thank you for your attention in this matter!

Imagine having a soul so small you see people’s love for themselves and each other as a threat.
I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them
What a moment.

The moral cowardice these days is A LOT.
“It seems our university leaders cannot even say that it is wrong to murder a former student in broad daylight because some people might disagree,” geography professor Kate Derickson
Faculty, students push University of Minnesota to denounce ICE and killing of alumnus Alex Pretti
It illustrates the complex balancing act for colleges and universities in responding to ICE actions.

They're literally running out of lawyers in a state where the district judges are practically at war with the administration.
BREAKING: 8 more U.S. Attorneys in MN resign from Trump’s DOJ in protest as backlash grows.
This isn’t normal; isn’t routine reshuffling. It’s a rebellion.
Last month, 6 veteran prosecutors quit in protest. Normal staffing for the MN DOJ’s office is around 50 attorneys. They’re down to just 9.

Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a “riot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control.

If I got paid for every time I had to credential myself, I’d probably make more money.
I think a lot of men genuinely don't understand that women HAVE to credential ourselves in these conversations ("I say that as an organizer with over 20 years of experience").
Most especially in discourse about male-coded fields, organizing being one of them. We get dismissed outright if we don't.

There is a case to be made that any board of a university that signed an agreement that required paying a fee has breached their fiduciary duty and I think somebody should explore it
The Trump administration is no longer trying to get cash from Harvard as it seeks a settlement. At this point, the White House seems happy to get a signature on anything they can call a compact.

Is the administration’s bit that they encourage right-wing influencers to find “fraud” in blue states; influencers “investigate” and publish propaganda claiming said widespread fraud was responsibility of immigrants; and then gov’t sends in ICE to terrorize people because of it?

With the increased use of LRAD (Long Range Acoustic Devices), preparation & avoidance are key to preventing long term hearing loss.
Moving perpendicular to the beam direction quickly reduces exposure since LRAD effectiveness drops dramatically outside the focused cone.
