I don't do automatic follow 4 follow: some of y'all post like you're two seconds from either a grippy sock vacation or lacing up your Nike Decades and I am trying to preserve my sanity and peace here by cultivating my feeds. It's nothing personal.

I never do good things for others bc I want attention for them, & in fact prefer to be anonymous and unaffiliated with a group like 99% of the time bc helping others should always be its own reward, but sometimes I think about telling my stories bc I want to inspire others to take similar action.

I've never seen a population more united. If people can hold onto that unity, if people can accept that different people will have different ways of confronting fascism, if we can remind NGOs and orgs that they can join but not control the resistance, then, well, people here will write history.

I've been here 24 hours, but already with what I've seen, well, I genuinely believe we're going to win. People here are well aware that what happens here impacts the entire country, that it sets the tone for resistance. ICE is angry, ICE is terrified, of how deeply unpopular it is.

This has just made me realize I know everything neonatal kittens need re: nutrition up to about 8-9wks, and then I know what adult cats need to eat for optimal health, especially kidney/IBS/hyperthyroid cats bc that's my specialty, but any kitten btwn 8wks & idk probably 1yr I'm just like...uhhhhh
Kittens will have different nutritional needs than adults and the recommendation for how much to feed will sometimes vary btwn brands, so check all labels for sure. I normally adopt only old and medically fragile cats (including IBS/IBD) so I know a good amount about adult cat nutrition, vs kittens.

The billionaires, the institutions, the powerful

I have been told that this undercover ICE agent tried to get observers to scan a QR code “for his website”. The QR code did not resolve to a link.
DO NOT SCAN UNKNOWN QR CODES FROM STRANGERS.
This is a massive security risk! Bad things can happen to you if you do it!
Stay frosty, friends.

Every day some story breaks me some. Today it’s the guy who approached parents at a school patrol, told them he was with Indivisible, and asked about how the patrol system works. The parents gave vague answers, followed him back to his car — and of course it was ICE.

I'm still mad abt this. This kind of shit is exactly why I posted that thread about "Marvel Syndrome". Half the issues here stem from everyone expecting us to swoop in like a superhero and defeat all evil before the end credits roll, and that's not how any of this works. All social change is a slog.
Lmao at Europeans being smug about hating America as if some of us haven't been doing this for the love of the game for decades before it was trendy or socially accepted to do so. Alexa, play the Cure's "Jumping Someone Else's Train".

Dear neighbor,
We are seeing an increase in immigration enforcement and federal agents across South Minneapolis. This includes the sighting of Bovino at 34th and Cedar. There’s definitely an uptick compared to the last few days. 1/

“may your grandkids race to change their names” is actually an incredible curse we should all start adding to our repertoire
it’s gonna be true of a lot of these people

I just want to be sure that every Republican member of Congress is prominently named in the history of who destroyed American democracy, NATO and the West. They're worse than Benedict Arnold. They sold more than West Point. Their grandkids will race to change their names
