I think there’s something in us that tries to distance ourselves from such pain, to imagine others as though they can endure what we cannot.
Every child in there is someone’s precious baby. Every adult too but that’s another matter.

How much you love your kid? That’s how much the mother in detention loves hers. How much the mother in Palestine loves hers.
Just because you can’t imagine the unimaginable- their separation; death- doesn’t mean so many in the world are not enduring it.

My last one was literally a piece of cardboard torn off a box that was in our truck, scribbled on with a pen my husband carries, right before we got out to protest.
Trump on Mpls: "Do these people really want to have rapists and drug dealers and people from prisons and murderers, do they really want to have them in the community? It's really insurrectionists and agitators and they're paid ... everybody has a beautiful sign with brand new wood. Leather panels."

Don Lemon is a journalist who was exercising his constitutional rights and this is a fascist, flagrantly unconstitutional action.
Don was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles.

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

part of this is like, conservatives projecting; part of this is conservatives unable to imagine politics without money; and part of this is dudes who are so out of touch with feminized labor that they think children's birthday parties exist as a spontaneous act of parthogenesis
I mostly just stay off Twitter altogether but after double checking that the Walter Hudson post was still up I ran across this and just had to share so the Romancelandians who bought hand warmers could hear about the PROFESSIONAL GRADE LOGISTICS.

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...
Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

We visited Renee Good's memorial.
There, we met a group of Somali Minnesotans — who too have been viciously attacked for weeks — warmly hosting everyone.
Flowers & stuffed animals galore.
Neighbors continually offering sambusas & hand-warmers & water.
Grief. And belief.

I remember going back and forth last year about going to Target on Black Friday for a vinyl that everyone was so sure would be available online and with other retailers. My Toys R Us trauma is real but my fear of never having the second half of Tortured Poets Department was greater.
