Flashlights (not candles). Smoke/carbon monoxide alarms. Knowing where the vents to your home are so you can clear them of snow. Do it all. We're being given so much time with this storm.

I broke down the ICE “reforms” being proposed by Dem leadership. tl;dr: They totally avoid touching ICE’s funding, in key ways actually increase ICE funding and instead focus on meaningless busywork like “body cams” and “more training”.

Hello! I have sterling!

Free US shipping over $50, flat $4 otherwise. All solid .925 and genuine stones. We're an LGBTQIA+ store. I invested in sterling seeing the price hike coming. These prices are fair! Sterling is $90+ AN OUNCE.

Renee Nicole Good, down the photo people generally use of her, is a near perfect martyr. She deserved better than that, but it is what it is, and the very fucking least we can do is make sure it wasn't in vain.

Seriously, @people.com has been meeting the moment better than 90% of publications with direct reporting and crystal clear headlines.

This is a good way for the low-information voters who are usually detached from the news cycle to get turned around.

Highlighting:
That's not the MN State flag anymore.
A major reason for the change was specifically blatant racist, anti-Indigenous imagery.
It is a specific choice to use this flag.
Minority extremists use the old flag as a dog whistle.
The Vice President is prominently dog whistling.

Deporting children with cancer.
Using a 5-year-old as bait.
Shooting moms.

ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.

The place we need to get to is *country defense* against tech fascism.

These countries are under attack.

Every country deserves the chance to know what is hitting it and the chance to fight back.
With other researchers, I have been tracking venture capital, tech fascism and Network State activity in countries across Africa and wanted to share a few notes. The situation is escalating and we are looking at similar patterns happening across Africa as we have seen in Latin America.

not to come across as a political lesbian, but at what point (years, # of failed bfs, etc) do you owe it to your girlfriend, as her friend, to tell her that dating men is an unforced error, celibacy is powerful, she is fighting in vain for good connection (which is bestowed upon the patient), etc?

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

Rumor swirling is he’ll be doing a “town hall forum” at Royalston Square from 3:15p to 4:50p.

This info isn’t confirmed, just what’s circling. Obviously once he arrives, people will know where the event is by just…following his caravan.
JD Vance: "I'm headed to Minneapolis where we're gonna talk with ICE agents and local officials about how we turn down the chaos. My simple piece of advice to them is going to be if you want to turn down the chaos in Minneapolis, stop fighting immigration enforcement."

She's absolutely right, cause because of people wanting to constantly harass unhoused individuals trying to rest now nobody can sit at some of the bus stops.

Hell, good luck finding a place to sit or even a place of shade nowadays.

Imagine being so callous you'd toss away your own comfort.

What do Black women want?

of course ... to leverage sexuality over white men

but of course that is not actually what's real... nor happening

but an expression of the hyper surreal fantasies of white men ... who are controlling the material realities of Black women
