"This isn't who we are!"
It is, though. None of this is new; as Black & Indigenous folks have *been* telling us, our euro-settler-colonial states have always been doing this to them.
We settlers need to start actually listening, & learn from them.

Lately, I feel like every time I apply for Social Assistance, they change the rules, or implementnew obstacles that cost me more & more time.
It's so fucking exhausting, having to beg people for my basic human needs.
I'm so tired. I'm getting more and more tired w/ every month that passes.

Canadian companies are arming Israel's genocide in Gaza, Trump's illegal wars, and ICE raids. The U.S. Loophole means 60% of Canadian arms exports — those that go to US — are exempted from oversight or permitting.
Canada must cut off this unregulated flow of arms by passing No More Loopholes Act

My mother, long ago, had her pelt taken by my father, trapping her into a loveless marriage far from the sea she'd been born into.
I'm hoping this tailor can help me help her escape. Furs are controversial in fashion, but surely an exception could be made so a lonely selkie can return to the sea.

The tailor is highly renowned, among those who know they exist. The clothes they make are not magical, allegedly, yet it's said they will never need mending, and will fit your body no matter how it changes. What do you ask for, when you finally find them?

Was going to plow today since we've had a few snowfalls this week, but it's -30 today, and that's awful cold to be running the machine. Machines don't like cold much.
Hope it warms up soon, so I can get the drives done again. So much snow this year.

ICE has been targeting Indigenous business, resource centers, community hubs, etc in Minneapolis. They even targeted Little Earth of United Tribes, a residential housing community that has at least 98% Indigenous residents. It is where the four Oglala Lakota men they took were living.
Why the fuck was ICE spotted near Haskell Indian Nations University in Lawrence, Kansas? Rhetorical. It's easy to go after Indigenous people who have historically been harassed, terrorized & executed. ICE is populated with sick fucks.

I think people usually call this going back to normal, you know, when they kill and kidnap nonwhite people and no one writes pop songs about it.
There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.
The same day DHS announced the surge would end in Minnesota, ICE activity increased in small towns
The less densely populated areas outside the Twin Cities make it harder for protesters and observers to organize.

Grappling with the sheer scope of this man’s legacy is nearly impossible.
Jesse Jackson was an early and ardent supporter of gay rights. In fact, on July 17, 1984 at the DNC in San Fransisco, the first speech EVER at a national political convention calling for gay rights was delivered by none other than Rev. Jackson himself.

*ALL* gay conversion therapy started as trans conversion therapy. All of it. There is no distinction between one or the other because it is the same thing.

One thing I'd like to add to this is that not only does conversion therapy not work, the academic work that launched an industry of abuse was based on fraud; Rekers and Lovaas' "Sissy Boy" experiment, the child subjected to it later took his own life

The problem of conversion therapy is, as ever, not that conversion therapy doesn't work (although that's true) but that it constitutes an act of violence to suppress almost exclusively vulnerable people's core psychological development and that is devastating.
