Today, working class people across the Minneapolis area are participating in a general strike in response to ICE terrorizing their communities.

This is a monumental moment in our history, it’s the first step to change.

Thinking of starting a street gang called the Regulators and we all go out in studded arm bands and bandanas while we regulate our nervous systems. Occasionally, we huddle on the corner to do deep breathing together.

Nothing threatens authoritarian regimes more than act of nonviolent protest — people standing together, choosing empathy and courage, and refusing to be afraid.

I am astonished at how many baby men are in seats of power. This society is sick sick sick. Positive transformation, if it happens, will happen slowly with considerable growing pains.
“My deputies don’t wear masks, but once you pass this law, I will not only allow them but I will encourage them to do so…just to see what you do.”

“If you try to remove me from office, thousands of people will surround the city council building and prevent that from happening.”
Pierce County, are you guys okay? This is absolutely insane. Video from @hannahkrieg.bsky.social.

Neo Nazi Sheriff Swank basically threatened elected officials with violent retribution. Also, he sounds exactly like Steven Miller.

It was not "domestic terrorism.” It was state sanctioned violence.

A family will forever live with the pain caused by the admin's reckless and deadly actions.

Abolishing ICE is not enough. They must be held accountable.

I did get a reply from the library. I guess I wasn’t the only one to complain about the AI art. Their excuse for purchasing and hanging the artwork was that it was cheap and easy and that they have limited funds. Sure but damn, lots of artists would hang work for discounted price I bet.

I had to leave this message after visiting my local library:

I just felt like I needed to leave this comment somewhere. As someone that pays taxes in this district, and loves libraries—also, as someone that is a visual artist—

I told my 10-y-o about the Wilhelm scream and then played it for him and he said oh yeah, I love that scream. I guess you can’t watch all the Star Wars movies (or a myriad of other adventure shows) without being aware of it. It probably should be retired though.

Since moving to the country I’ve learned that everything is a reason to fire your oversized weapon morning, noon or night; holiday depression/anxiety has no chance against a high powered rifle. #amurica

I don’t usually chase down everything an artist has done even if I’m a big fan, so I get to be surprised when I find amazing work I’ve never heard!

If you live in the PNW and see matsutake at your grocery store don’t balk at something that is so highly priced per pound. I spent $3.22 on 2 mushrooms and made a delicious omelette. A wonderful holiday treat!
