A new burger place opened up down the street from our shop so we asked if they had extra flyers we could set out tomorrow since we have a lot of families coming for games tomorrow and we wanted to help spread the word.
“We’re running low on flyers so maybe you can spread the word with your mouth?”

Since the start of Trump’s second term, the number of children in ICE detention has increased sixfold.
In their letters, kids held at the Dilley center told us about missing their friends, being unable to go to school and feeling trapped.

As the news moves on it's important to remember ICE hasn't. They haven't left here (LA) and they won't have left Minnesota. They will be stretched thin, but they'll still be around and any help we can offer the people of impacted cities is crucial ESPECIALLY when media moves on.

I feel like Matt Vogel got put into a pretty difficult position of having to assume the role of Kermit very publicly and unexpectedly (AFAIK), and he gets a lot of flack for having to work out his voice over a series of projects.
But his Muppet Show Kermit is good!

I’m in the hotel lounge area enjoying my breakfast and there’s a lady barefoot with her feet up on the hotel lobby couch watching a worker clean up a mess her group made and I didn’t really know I could have this much disdain while eating a breakfast wrap.

I work with a real jerk, can't stand him, don't even think he knows my name. Today he's suddenly the nicest guy here. Knows my name, knows everyone's name. He's playing the piano. Just saw him surprise a young couple with wrestlemania tickets.

I feel like the most “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” thing that could’ve just happened was me coming out of a screening of it planning to take a photo with the poster and they’d already taken it down.

It’s wild how much hate Starfleet Academy gets from so-called long time fans because so far eps 2-4 have followed 90s era Trek episode structure more than any of the Paramount+ shows so far.

One of my new housemates is an ardent microbrewer so now I feel like I’ll have to start running a D&D campaign where I craft a narrative and we drink his beer so we can call it “Homebrew & Home Brew”

ICE is indeed still in LA and they are especially active in north of Los Angeles as well: Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties
ICE & CBP are still in Chicago, just like they're still in LA & Arizona & scattered places we hear about & then often forget because there's too much, & they're invading Maine & very much still occupying MN - I have friends in Northfield who ferry immigrants' kids to & from school every day.

"simply about getting ICE back to obeying the law"
Come on. They will never obey the law. And the law itself allows them to abuse & murder with impunity via qualified immunity.
ICE OUT OF OUR CITIES is the minimum short term demand.
Defund and abolish ICE is the only moral long term course.

after this, unless another festival puts it up (most do not), it won’t be online again until its festival run in done, probably late 2027
see it while you can, especially if you need to believe in love and hope again 🩷
