if you know an immigration attorney willing to donate 20 mins of their time please send them my way! I have some very basic yes/no questions I need answered ASAP.

There is an excellent new episode of the always stellar ‘Criminal’ podcast by Phoebe Judge out this morning.
It talks about what is happening in Chicago’s Rogers Park neighborhood with community ICE watch brigades.

Anyway! The fabric swap is tomorrow (Tuesday) night and I’m excited!
I sorted through my stash this weekend and picked some cute 1950s-1990s pieces and a few FQ to rehome (sorry not sorry for bringing some things smaller than a yard).

📢 LOUDER
Also, and I say this with my whole chest: do not give establishment Dems a dime of your money. Not a CENT. Give that money to mutual aid, to food pantries, to your library, to the guy on your street corner. All of them will put that money to better use.
Do not give politicians your money.

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

Have R senators? (Like me?) Call Schumer’s office to tell him you will never donate to another D senate campaign again as long as he’s Senate leader. Tell him this deal is a shameful joke and a betrayal.

I just did this and if nothing else it was cathartic. I said I would make it my life’s mission to make sure there’s a primary challenger for any D involved in this deal, it’s fucking embarrassing.
So, listen, call Schumer’s office no matter where you live, no matter if you’re registered to vote. Leave a voicemail that says if Senate Dems cave without an ACA premiums fix, you will never vote for or donate to another Senate Democrat as long as he is Leader

Even if you don’t believe that reps care about you (I personally think they probably don’t), they should have a worse day and deserve a lot of people angrily telling them about the consequences of their actions and it’s better than frictionlessly allowing them to line their pockets

i’m just so fucking tired of living through crisis after crisis and feeling like we have to beg for and negotiate with our own representatives to address the crises seriously. they shouldn’t have to be disciplined by the base into mustering an appropriate response to a fucking coup!

Call your senators. I don’t care if they’re Republicans, or if a deal has already been reached. Call them anyway, and let them know exactly what you think of what’s happening. Don’t give them a moment’s peace to forget the blood on their hands.

Go ahead and make it where it automatically renews for another 99 years upon each sale or inheritance of the property like the ground rent some rube originally signed up for a hundred years before I was born 🙃
Why stop at a 50-year mortgage? Let's go full dystopia and make it a 150 years, with your debt lovingly passed down like an heirloom of financial despair. Generation after generation, working not for wealth, but for the privilege of almost owning drywall. Why own a house, when you can haunt it?
