If you're mad and find yourself yelling that you want someone launched into the Sun, take a moment, calm yourself, and remember that it takes a lot less Delta v to launch them out of the Solar System instead.
You can be mad, but that's no excuse to be inefficient with propellant.

Hey you! Yeah you! The dehydrated noodle that has completely forgotten about your water bottle, cup, glass, and mugs filled with liquid beside you.
Carry everything back to the sink and get a fresh beverage and then take a gulp. You probably forgot you are thirsty.

Here's what I've learned so far (I'll keep sharing updates in a thread below):
I spoke to my county, school district and reached out to my cities. The phrase being used is "five alarm fire".
Federal workforce funds through DEED have been turned off, homeless housing providers can't draw on HUD $$

one of key functions of immigration raids & crackdowns is not to actually deport all migrants/refugees but to deepen conditions of social precarity & labor deportability. to make migrants more vulnerable to exploitation from bosses & landlords & banks, and to create scapegoats for austerity policies

The absurdity of today’s proceedings on MLK day perfectly captures the profound hollowness of the American promise and the bloody, oppressive hypocrisy of the American reality.

NEW FROM ME:
The government will do things that hurt people.
But knowing exactly what it is doing — & therefore who’s most at risk — is at the foundation of fighting against it. Anything else is doing Trump’s job for him.
