I hear from people who are surprised I'm still talking about ICE, they thought they'd withdrawn from MN.
No, they have not. In some respects they've escalated.
Some asked why MN is a target. Are there are there a lot more illegals or criminals here?
No, it's not about that. It's about a grudge.

Just realized this could seem like a passive aggressive way if saying itβs my birthday. Instead, I will just tell you - it is!!

It sounds like an awful lot and not that much all at the same time.

Thereβs a modern Swedish word, skΓ€mskudde, which is a pillow that you use to cover your face in an embarrassing situation (for example, a sex scene in the middle of a film youβre watching with family). You could translate it as βshame pillowβ or, if you prefer, βcringe cushion.β

So I canβt find a new source on this. I see posts from the European Democrats and I see posts on Facebook. But when I search official sources , it just says that today ends the open comments on the changes.

one hundred percent yes.
The reality is America is a huge multicultural multilingual country, not a white ethnostate, and venomous white supremacist MAGA crybabies lose it whenever that reality becomes unignorable. We should always seek to increase, not decrease, their discomfort. www.the-reframe.com/hating-the-g...

I will say - and yes, to be blunt this one of the few things in life I really feel I can get on my high horse about! - that I've cut a *lot* of men out of my life over the years after hearing stories about their misbehaviour, and watched every single time as those men just kept most of their friends
A lot of people are rightfully outraged that famous, important people continued to hang out with Jeff Epstein after he was convicted of serious sex crimes. I would posit, though, that 'maintaining social and business relationships with sex criminals' is extremely common behavior, regardless of class

The Mandelson debacle is the worst UK political scandal of this century. But few political scandals also have great constitutional significance. This one does, writes dag
The prime minister has lost the trust of the Commons on national security
MPs have defeated a government they no longer trust on matters of the highest importance

(It might make you cry, not that Iβm speaking from experience π)
I talked with the owner of Modern Times, one of my favorite spots in Minneapolis, about making the entire menu free for everyone (except ICE) until ICE leaves the city.
Inside the Minneapolis restaurant that has stopped charging for food until ICE leaves the city
Owner Dylan Alverson explains why Modern Times is now donation-only to feed hungry neighbors and stop contributing to taxes that fund ICE.

Just had a convo about loneliness with my husband that covered everything from my sister's youtube channel and social media to literature to Heated Rivalry/queer history and gender stereotypes to parenting. Moments like that are what I have appreciated about us both working from home since COVID.

I have been working on a multi-part ghost writing project for a few weeks and I gotta say, itβs nice to be out of my head. I wish my ex-agent had taken me seriously when I said I was very willing to do more ghost writing work (I did two kidlit novels in 2016-2017, one of which did ok).

We have tons of information about Miller's white supremacist mindset from leaked emails in 2019. That has totally disappeared from our discussion of his goal of ethnic cleansing. That's why I wanted to speak to Michael Edison Hayden who reported out those emails.

I expressed much glee at Mendelson being pushed out, even though I doubt its lasting impact on him. Starmer needs to go too. Labour is going to lose to Reform for sure if he stays. Someone needs to get that party back to actually representing their constituents. I donβt have high hopes.
