The clergy just keep coming to this anti-ICE protest.
Genuinely unclear where they all will go — it’s packed outside on the sidewalk already.

The last several minutes are one of the best PSAs for what trumps FCC is doing now to stifle free speech. Kimmel gives the history of equal time law going back to the Radio Act. Outside of mass-comm majors, I'm thinking this is a lot of new info for a lot of people.

Snow and/or ice is coming soon so here's my cat, Lily, warming herself in in the sun through a window. Looks like it may be a few days before she, WE, can do this again.

He's not wearing a mask. ID this asshole
This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.
Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

statistically about 10-15% of income goes toward food so I guess if you're making between $3k to $4k a week you can afford one piece of chicken, one piece of broccoli, a tortilla and one other thing per meal. No prob!

Brooke Rollins is still at it!
"We had run almost 1,000 simulations, and between $3 and $4 is a fair number if you can have access to that food. I just saw new numbers that were run: a full day, meaning 3 full square meals and a snack, is about $15.64."

How do we remove Stephen Miller from felon47's sphere of influence? Vaught too while we're at it. How do we drive that wedge, cut the snakes head off?
Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

Affordability has been a seriously degrading issue, since the Bush tax cuts (Reagan really). So what like 20 to 40+ years?
