If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help.
The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later:

Didn’t Stancil do a “there might be Hamas tunnels under hospitals” shit? Seriously it’s fine to approve of his ICE aggression but you losers cannot be trusted
now, personally, I think genocide denial is an actual problem and not an example of someone being annoying online but what do I know

I keep thinking about the toxic, pervasive mythology of "rugged individualism" as a driving force in American culture, and how the collective efforts in the Twin Cities right now are proof that the only way through hard times is together, as a community.

You can't "dox" cops by saying their names. If you get a gun and a badge and the authority to arrest, we get to know who the fuck you are and to hold you accountable when you abuse that authority. It's the bare minimum
BRENNAN: Tell me about the officer, Jonathan Ross
KRISTI NOEM: Don't say his name! I mean, for heaven's sake, we shouldn't have people continue to dox law enforcement
BRENNAN: His name is public
NOEM: I know, but that doesn't mean it should continue to be said

relatedly please send funds to @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social. ICE might suffer in this weather but our unhoused neighbors definitely will without support!!!!
It’ll be dangerously cold this weekend in the Twin Cities. Windchills will reach -20°. With how violently ICE is grabbing people, they might not be dressed for the weather, especially if ICE keeps dumping people miles from their home or car without their phone. Frostbite hits quickly at these temps.

I’m seeing increased use of this word and I just want to gently suggest that if there’s one word you can manage to remove from your vocabulary it should be this one.
It was coined by a eugenicist who used it as a diagnosis to forcibly institutionalize and sterilize mentally disabled people.

The Origins of the Word "Moron" Are Actually REALLY Sinister
It's much more than just a casual insult.

groaning so loudly because I just saw someone say they “don’t mean to get political” in a discussion about companies silently dropping HRT coverage as if that’s not a political act and healthcare isn’t already inherently political at least in the US

A petit bourgeoisie you say, that sees its lifestyle and social position under threat you say? Finding exterior enemies and explanations from a rapidly growing facist movement, you say?
Nope. Doesn't ring a bell.

Polar Express because it’s on every year and they made us watch it at school so often. I’ve never liked that movie
