Whole lot of you following Neil Gaiman, and I assume it's because you forgot you did so and he stopped posting when it was revealed he is a rapist.
Since he's trying to make a return, do yourself a favour and check if you're following @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com and if so unfollow and block.

Sometimes white people try to be sarcastically racist & it's like huh? It really doesn't come off as parody. They think they have cred from previously not being racist that folks would be sure they don't mean it. That's not so, they're white. Don't be sarcastically racist because we sure can't tell.

Friendly reminder to all - this weekend is Imbolc, the most hope-centric of all pagan holidays.
It’s about the fires of the forge giving us the tools we need, poetry helping shape our emotions into actions, and planning the foundations of the new world we find ourselves living in.

It's not just "stand up to ICE when you see them," it's building many vast networks of support and trust to
- create safe spaces
- protect schools
- get kids TO school
- check on neighbors
- deliver groceries
- help pay the rent
- let people know of danger
- feed the helpers, too!

The season between Yule and Imbolc is for Accepting the world as it is, but at Imbolc we light the fires and Plan for this new world.
February 1st is the moment to meet with your community and form your resistance. The balance will shift at the Equinox - be prepared to set plans in motion.

you can’t be shocked anymore. Wherever you are, you need to be planning for what you will do when ICE comes to your city. If you are in a PTA, block club, church, book club, rec league basketball—start organizing grocery pickups and school carpools and whistle patrols. Start now

There are people trying to stop others from using whistles, and next they'll say it's ableism.
As your disability advocate friend, I will be the first with serious sensory sensitivity to say that I would rather be in pain than someone get abducted, or shot.
Block/mute this argument, it's an op.

just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now
Our government is murdering the citizens of this country. They are doing it without any checks on their violence

This *is* a civil war.
I’m already clarifying “the American civil war of the 1860s” to differentiate it from now.
I live in a Republican held state south of MN & I’m scared we will become a staging ground for an invasion. The Governor is super fascist. She will call up troops for him.

Video before it happens is showing this guy they shot in the head in Minneapolis was just standing there videoing them before and they got out to push him back and then murder him.

When people are talking about how it’s good that we have a Republican Governor in this state because that means he won’t be targeting us for a while… that’s how appeasement becomes complicit in the horrors.
Instead of being relieved that an elected official isn’t doing anything, be furious.
