Rev. Susie Hayward, a UCC pastor who was shoved by agents and exposed to pepper spray at the site of the ICE shooting in MN today shortly after it occurred, just sent me this from tonight’s vigil for the woman killed.

Always a good idea to turn off auto-play videos; choose what you see and what you don't.
if you do not want to watch the video, go to settings > content and media and uncheck the "autoplay videos and gifs" box right now

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Has he looked around at the US lately? Nothing says welcoming like raiding daycares to arrest teachers, and nothing says not trying to conquer anybody like blockading a neighboring country and targeting its citizens with strikes.

Football is essentially a game of aggressive cuddling. The defense is really into cuddling and the offense is fundamentally opposed to cuddling and must reach the no-cuddle zone. Team that effectively avoids cuddling the most by reaching the no-cuddle zone wins.
