a good thread on how insidious these book banners are
This is only tangentially connected to me, but stick with me.
In Leander TX, a suburb of Austin, a Dem candidate gets 57% of the vote in a special election for mayor, walloping 2 rightwing challengers. Great news!
Leander is arguably where the rightwing book banning took off. I was a target!

Unofficial voting results show Na’Cole Thompson wins race for Leander mayor
Leander residents cast ballots in the Feb. 7 special election to determine who will be mayor for the rest of the current term, which expires in May 2027.

That's the insidious chilling effect of these book bans. The defenders have to pick their battles.
This seems to be especially true of comics. Hard to believe this whole thing began as an old-fashioned Comic Book Witvch Hunt!

Blocking the construction of ICE detention centers is much easier than closing them once they're built! If you're in this county, follow the OP for some ways to support; if you're not, keep an ear out for proposed detention facilities in your zone
In a positive development, I’m hearing that Hanover County Board of Supervisors are planning to vote NO on the I.C.E. request to build or lease a detention facility in the county near Bass Pro. And, that they are consulting with the county attorney on legal options for fighting it!

when a question is also a poem
Looking for a word. If necessary means need, what would be another word for want? It's necessary because you yearn for it, you desire it. Not sexually, but there's an emotional pull toward the thing or person. It's necessary for your soul. Does that make sense? Is there an English word for that?

i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

Tonight, I was one of more than 200 people who gathered on Chicago’s North Side to mourn Renee Nicole Good. Several people asked me to publish my remarks from the vigil, so I’m sharing them here.

Everyone talks about the Republican "American Jesus" who loves guns, but there's the equally harmful American Jesus preached by pastors like this, a Jesus who is all hugs and inaction, who judges no one, including violent agents of the state. A Jesus who isn't revolutionary, just wants you to vote.
The only way we protect ourselves from ICE is by winning the midterms.
