Sometimes people do things to you that you can’t do anything about. You just have to survive it and go on.

I feel pretty reasonable on most of these

There are rumors that ICE is dropping off people barefoot or even nude in the woods.

I just want to remind people that these tactics aren’t new or from 1940’s Europe.

Ask any indigenous people. It might be new to you, but they’ve been in this fight for centuries.

If you see suspected ICE activity here in Colorado (vehicles, people in tactical gear, people being detained, etc). Document it and call Colorado Rapid Response Network 844-864-8341.

I've had these number saved in my phone for a year for quick access. 1/3

Abolish ICE, prosecute and imprison its leaders, impeach and remove the President from office. This is the only sane reaction to a group of armed men kidnapping and gunning down our neighbors in the street.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

This book by @realjacksonford.bsky.social was one of my favorite ARC reads last year. Since book 2 is due out in May, now is the perfect time to start if you haven't read it yet!
(Meanwhile, I will keep begging @orbitbooks.bsky.social to release an ARC of book 2)

Day 1 of my vacation was fantastic. Slept late, had a light breakfast, went to the gym, stuffed myself with Pho, worked on my home library, then stuffed myself with hot wings
