I could remove every speck of risque imagery/topics from my community and there's still a 50% chance we'd get flagged just because we're openly queer.

It's not actually about the kids.

Children ending up in the ICU.

Children trying to end their lives.

Children refusing to eat and drink because the food has worms and the water makes them sick.

Children held for 8 months or longer.

These are the kids ICE holds at Dilley.

They’re pleading to be let out.

Hundreds of children are currently being held with their parents at an immigration detention center in Dilley, Texas. In letters and drawings, eight kids convey the pain of feeling trapped with no end...

Wear a mask! Ideally a well fitted respirator like an N95.

Covid is not over. The government pushed a “back to normal” agenda for the economy, not because it was safe.

They told us “only the vulnerable” needed to worry, but covid is a multi system vascular virus that is dangerous to everyone.

What's "extreme" is the bullshit that the most vulnerable in our society have had to fucking endure for six fucking years at the hands of "back to normal" and "wearing a mask is too hard"

For most people, the pandemic days of masking are behind us. In certain corners of the Winter Olympics, though, things still look a lot like they did in Covid times. Some athletes are taking extreme measures to stay healthy. n.pr/4akK70l

Another resistance quilt finished this week. The eye is my own design, the letters are a fpp pattern by QuiltByNight, the rounded corners and black binding are meant to resemble the phones we the people are using to document the horrors and disprove the government’s lies about what they are doing.

jk, i’m knitting sleeves and it’s requiring slightly more brainpower than i have available, so back to laying in bed it is i guess
on today’s episode of ‘surprise! ro has yet another migraine,’ i have discovered that knitting in silence is the only thing i can do without wanting to cry from the pain. it’s preferable to just laying in bed again, so knitting in silence it is

I miss finding these deep red Hygrocybe mushrooms in California. I believe these are scarlet waxy caps, Hygrocybe coccinea.

Brother if reading the Epstein files and seeing the world’s richest white men OPENLY PLAN how to kill off the poor and non-white of the world doesn’t convince you to:

- get vaccinated
- wear a mask
- take care of your fellow man and neighbor
- look out for children

You’re lost.

2000 agents are still here. Woke up this morning to horns and whistles down my street -- panic jumped out of bed ready to run outside, but the cars were being pursued. ICE is still kidnapping people, still getting stymied at every turn, still brutalizing observers because they know they're losing.
The headline should be, "DHS to keep 2,000 immigration officers in Minnesota."

Instead, it seems the entirety of the traditional media went with, "DHS to withdraw 700 immigration officers from Minnesota."

This presser worked like a charm.
Homan in Minneapolis: "Effective immediately, we will draw down 700 people effective today."
