A reminder to folks who were here before the new crowd: let them find their training wheel pace.

A reminder to the folks who just arrived: it's a new place. Wipe your feet and leave the old crap behind.

Now I know why the fire truck came through earlier.

According to eyewitnesses, ICE agents threw a teargas canister at this car and it caught on fire! WTFFFF

This is the corner where ICE agents were posted for hours, deploying gas and flash bangs.

Going to sideline this discussion for a moment to comment on the art style.

Not certain as I haven't done any research into the artist, but the first thing I noticed upon seeing this (this is the first time) is the similarities to the art provided for the Shadowrun franchise related to corps.
Makes two ICE shooting deaths now in a single city in a single month. Reminder that ICE has recruited new hires at gun shows with messages like this: www.instagram.com/reel/DTLZsOc...

There is no place to hide your head. There is no place to hide. There is no place to avoid it.

It's cold outside.

Hippy new year.

It's a new year. Let us not be dictated to from the past, but build upon both the greatness of and lessons from the past. The future is ours to shape, not perpetuate.

Also they have systemically enshittified all of the spaces we used to use to thrive in our communities. They did it maliciously and on purpose.

You're friends don't hate you, shitbag techbros have unleashed 1k cockroaches in your clubhouse and now we gotta fumigate.

Every Democrat running for office needs to promise investigations and full prosecutions from top to bottom, remove its funding bloat then break up the agency and distribute its core remaining useful functions across other agencies.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

I've shoved my sleeves up to my bicep this morning, and just noticed it. I haven't been this motivated in a long time.

As gently as I can say it, please stay out of my way today. Imma gonna get shit done today.

The first thing I think when I hear about the Mango-ones' performing arts center is that it's a strip club (and maybe bingo on Sundays). Not the name going over the house of music and performances that belong to the people (fka the Kennedy Center).

It's a humbug season. Be kind to strangers this week. You don't know what they're hiding behind their eyes.

Feeling a slight glimmer of life and hope again, months after my fur princess passed. It's a fragile, fleeting thing, so I'm going to be quiet to nurse it into blossom. If I don't reply, it's because I'm revelling in feeling again.
