A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

Long live the Somali aunties. Long live samosas. May they outlive ICE by thousands of years.

Re: the shooting in Minneapolis, & it brings up a good point, how the "agent" was already actively in motion of pulling the gun, when the car was in REVERSE. The scummy excuse is the car was charging toward him, & he shot in self defense. Evidence doesn't support that.

Fun fact: your local fire departments, EMS, and police are not required to provide services to federal buildings or lands except in rare cases when there is a specific written contract

Mmm, this is good. All the recovering people pleasers, first born eldest daughters, and/or "reliable work horse" types can probably relate and take something from this.

I didn't slam down quite as many books as my bookworm peers, but I'm thankful I still have interest/curiosity in storytelling & reading. I've said it repeatedly, but it benefits businesses/people in power for us to be stupid, sad, & w/o critical thinking skills.

I've had these dates, I've had these "friends", I've had these "relationships/situationships." This is the freakin' truth. 🫠

It took me several tries to pew pew my IG account. Tried on a few browsers, but ultimately, had to reinstall the app & wrestle w/ similar crap, until it worked. In theory, more openly known AI training using messages, voice memos, etc will begin mid Dec. My page won’t be 💀 til 1/1/26. Convenient.🙄

Kudos to Tony & Albas in San Jose! I saw their post on Nextdoor, & it has been refreshing to see how many people wanted to support them. Consider offering your business to these restaurants, so they can continue to best serve their community.

Food shortages in poor communities leads to ppl engaging in survival tactics. The State frames this as senseless crime. They criminalize poor, hungry folks for trying to live. They send in troops and put folks in prisons, lining the pockets of private prison owners.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

I have also heard from folks in community care circles say they've heard similar things. Please share, and keep a lookout for yourselves and your fellow community members.

California will start producing and selling its own supply of low-cost insulin in January.

The suggested price for consumers will be no more than $55 for a pack of five pens.

Currently even generic insulin typically costs about $260 for a pack of five.

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.

Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.
