Making my 3yo lunch while he cries about wanting me to play with him (after we played for hours and after I attuned and comforted etc) as he literally wraps me and him together in a golden string as I cook. Feels like I’m in some kind of beautiful and awful poem about single motherhood

The media (and everyone else) need to stop referring to ICE as "law enforcement".
They are out to perform "ethnic cleansing" and to terrorize the population.
There is nothing "lawful" about it.

Indivisible groups across Wisconsin hosted at least 766 events to protect and defend our democracy from the rising threat of authoritarianism in 2025.
With 1,400% more groups than this time last year, there is almost certainly a group near you.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

The sheer number of videos of the shooting is horrific, but in the vein of what @prisonculture.bsky.social has been saying, it proves how many people cared enough to show up where ICE was and record them. It wasn't just one or two legal observers, and when Good was shot, they didn't abandon her.

This secret police force is brutal, indifferent to humanity, and acting with impunity. And the owner is on each, and every one of us to protest every single thing they do every single day, and whatever ways we can.

Legit obsessed with my electric screw driver (did I spray paint it metallic blue to look cooler? Sure as shit did!). I also have a working theory that modern tools are unnecessarily clunky and loud to stroke men’s egos. Personally, I love a streamlined, quiet, functional tool! #tinkering #diy

Billionaires are considering cutting or reducing their ties to California by the end of the year because of a proposed ballot measure that could tax the state’s wealthiest residents.
A Wealth Tax Floated in California Has Billionaires Thinking of Leaving
It’s uncertain whether the proposal will reach the statewide ballot in November, but some billionaires like Peter Thiel and Larry Page may be unwilling to take the risk.

“States don’t have to grant corporations the power to spend in politics. In fact, they could decide not to give corporations that power.”
If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.
