Reminder that this country had an insurrection on Jan 6 and Trump refused to send in the National Guard.

This is a tipping point. The next few days are going to tell us a lot about the future. Brace yourselves and be ready to protect each other and the vulnerable.
Here's the official release from the White House, and apparently, we're in a state "of rebellion". 😒

Fellow Californians, you know the drill. Every one of us should be speed dialing:

- Our federal electeds
- Our state electeds
- Newsom
- And Bonta right now.

This is somewhat imprecisely worded, and some people in the replies are confused about how the Senate works. So here is live video of what happened. (TL;DR, it’s pretty much what Vicky says.)

Dear #CoryBooker - Maybe plan to be "disrupting business as usual" during actual business hours, rather than starting at end of day, after all the stuff has been decided?

So, sure, you're going to Talk Till You Can't Talk No More. Meanwhile, no actions will be blocked.

Can we please stop with the "why aren't Americans doing anything" Discourse that I keep seeing? I'm not even talking about people in other countries. I'm talking about my fellow USians who I see every day On Here bemoaning how we aren't protesting.

My bet on the Super Bowl is that both teams will be too full of Etouffee and Barbeque Shrimp to play.

Whatcha wanna bet #ICE does a #NOLA sweep after the superbowl? All the #homeless people have been swept up before it, because "unsightly"; once the money is made, all "illegal" workers will be expendable.

Learn the phrase "you have the right to remain silent" in at least one of the major immigrant languages of your area. Write it down on a card you keep in your wallet to read if needed.

If you're pasty and ICE shows up, yell it out loud for those who might not know their rights. Leverage your beige.

I am the spoilsport here to tell my fellow New Orleaneans that ice is dangerous.

People are already out there driving too fast.

Be careful. You matter. Don't die.

In Re: NOLA Snow
It's effed up to make people work or to encourage people to go traveling around in these conditions. It dangerous to us individually & every set of tire tracks (no matter how capable *your* vehicle is in snow) means more slush that'll ice over and which imperils emergency vehicles.

There is nothing like forgetting you gave the cat the carrot leaves to play with and finding said leaves splayed out in the middle of the floor at dusk.

I have been waiting for the ERA to be ratified since I was 8. I am 56. I remember my mom's bumper sticker ("ERA YES") being defaced in the parking lot of the Winn Dixie in the 1970's.

This farce is disgusting.
Pretending to ratify the ERA on the last day of the job but not allowing enough time to get it signed, sealed and delivered really takes the definition of virtue signaling to a whole 'nother level.

I ran out of English people to watch ill-kay each other off and now I am watching Scotland's fictitious population fall and all I can say is that you all need to sort some stuff out. Plus, there is a LOT of mud.

Just, you know, in case you need to wonder.
Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).

You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

If law enforcement wants to enter your home, unless you consent, they need a JUDICIAL warrant like a search warrant. And you'll notice cops with search warrants don't ask permission.

If ICE needs your permission to enter, they don't have a judicial warrant. They have an administrative warrant.

There's analysis and there's just kvetching. A thing I am doing for myself is unsubscribing from any Just Kvetching emails and sites. We need analysis, and we need ways forward.
Humor is great, and important!, but it needs to have some kind of content to keep me. Insult after insult is not a help.
