The Minneapolis AFL-CIO calling for a general strike is a big deal and we should treat it like a big deal.

Also it's a good idea. LFG

I sent a scathing, but not inflammatory, email to my rep Tom Emmer's office regarding his despicable statements about Renee Good's murder and his team's response was to...block me on Facebook??? I barely use it and have never commented on his posts, so they had to intentionally seek me out.

I saw ICE and highway patrol at a traffic stop together THIS MORNING. The "we" that keeps us safe will never include cops.
The cops are not gonna save us from ICE and y’all gotta fucking stop with this shit.
"the slave catchers are different from the immigrant snatchers" ahh rhetoric

I don't know how many more times my heart can break for my beloved Minnesota. This is terrifying, but we can and must continue protecting each other. We keep each other safe.

I refuse to stay silent while Secretary Noem breaks the rule of law and terrorizes our communities. I am introducing Articles of Impeachment against her for violating the public trust, obstructing Congress, and self-dealing. Read my full statement: robinkelly.house.gov/media-center...
Rep. Kelly announces plans to impeach Secretary Kristi Noem
WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly (IL-02) announced plans to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem following the fatal shooting by an ICE officer in Minneapolis.

there is a reason why you are HEARING about the things that happen in this area. this community has a ton of organizers. they are oriented towards action. they stand up for their neighbors.

and because of all of that, and because they are also mostly BIPOC and poor, they are targeted by pigs.

It's the 3rd of January 1939, your name is professor James Smith and you are staring at a drawing of a fish. It's not a regular fish. It is a completely impossible fish.

I tried it, and it's a nice combo of positive and negative space. I tried a new centerpiece design. Those four-facet chips always give me trouble. I'll have to do more of those. This center was complicated so it was slow. #ChipCarving #WoodCarving

Since I just finished my last run of 2025, it’s time for my running year in review! 🧵

Let’s start with the biggest stat. This was by far my highest mileage year ever.

Total miles: 2,300 (6.3 avg per run)

In case anyone's curious how this is going, so far I've only managed to have car trouble, get very sick, watch Heated Rivalry, and eat cinnamon rolls.

(three Einaudi songs are coming along, though)
Chat, will I be able to achieve fluency in Spanish, read 16 books, knit a sweater, rearrange all my furniture, master Ludovico Einaudi’s entire piano catalog, and learn leather tooling in 14 days?

It is ‘finish a project’ time! Mosaic embroidery. Stitches one crossstitch at a time. Mostly my own design. It’s a colorful mess.
