casual reminder that Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were assassinated seven months ago, and Senator Hoffman and his wife were seriously injured that day as well, and both of those things were outcomes that the current administration wants to happen again

Geraldo is the sixth person to die in ICE detention this year.

The theme of my 31st year on earth has been “chronic”. The continuation of lifelong chronic allergies, spiraling mental health, and the worsening of my debilitating biometric migraines and muscle/joint problems. Restless nights in pain. Enjoyment of crisp winter days stolen from me. All invisible. 😞
