Personally irrelevant, Textile Tinkerer, Sewist, Tailor, amateur photographer. I do recreations of 16th-17th c. Clothing as time allows and recently became a vintage sewing machine enthusiast.

Alex Pretti killers: Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez.
Renee Good killer: Jonathan Ross.
All three have something major thing in common. The Trump regime openly lied about their crimes and tried to cover them up, going as far as going on TV to defame & smear the victims as terrorists.

Just left an ICE Protest in Portland OR that started at City Hall and marched to the ICE building. Main demand was "revoke" the lease that lets the agency use their building.
Crowd was 500-1000. They gassed massively after about an hour. Had to pull a lot of 16-17 year old girls out of the gas.

FFS. In my lifetime I’ve had the opportunity to vote for a couple of people who were the best qualified to hold the presidency.
Unfortunately neither of them won, thanks, in no small part, to our own kind.
Of course they were both right.

One thing that I'm not seeing commented on with all the DHS/CBP/ICE bullshit going on is how communities rebuilt (or are rebuilding because of the afore bullshit) after the COVID isolation.

Minnesota's response is among the most beautiful examples of real-life antifascism I have ever seen. And it’s why, as deeply horrifying as these last few weeks have been, I am actually optimistic about the survival of American democracy. — TNR's Aaron Regunberg.

A reminder that the Kennedy Center is the literal and legal and congressional designated presidential memorial to JFK. This would be like Trump tearing down the Lincoln Memorial to build something “better.”

We need to do better.
Ager: I had a neighbor who didn’t go to the doctor because he had a stomach ache and thought he’d be all right. Four months later he died. People are more afraid of the costs than getting the care they need. This is happening all across the country, and we can do better.

All you people have is doom as a tactic.
“The system is rigged against us. We can’t win.”
No long term productive goals.
No other plans to change things.
Thats why no one takes your movement seriously.
