So now they are openly advocating for my murder and those like me. Cool cool cool cool cool
If this comes to pass are folks just going to be walking in the streets with signs about it as they haul me away? Is anyone going to stand up and protect me? Or are we going to abide by civility while the monster slowly picks us all off?

@tressiemcphd.bsky.social has repeatedly observed that the MAGA feminine aesthetic, instead of aiming for a coherent beauty heuristic, is meant *only* to signal female willingness to self-subjugate to a male desire.
The outcome needn’t be “attractive”, it need only say “I’m willing to do this”.

Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.
