I heard that now they're placing people who criticize ICE under surveillance. I want it to be known to the entire world that I despise ICE to the core and I think their entire institution should be abolished. They are cruel, inhumane, and are examples of the worst of humanity

Fuck ICE Fuck Fascism.

While I feel really blessed to have this as we've struggled badly this year, I'm still furious this cost $100 for 3 people (2 meat eaters and a vegetarian) I did splurge a little on the dairy free eggnog but that's not the problem. Everything was on sale or I had a coupon and it's still $100. Grr

The World Cup is only months away and FIFA is failing to ensure players fans, and immigrant communities here will be protected from increasingly authoritarian ICE activity.

FIFA must commit to enacting protections against racial profiling, arbitrary detention, and unlawful immigration enforcement.

the economy is understimulated because people aren't buying things

to counter this, we should stimulate the economy with stimulus checks

in order to bring stability, we should keep doing it consistently, perhaps every month, for every person, universally

it's quite basic really

Religion note: Remember that pastor who was arrested protesting an ICE detention facility outside Chicago recently? The one who was photographed on the ground as officers arrested him?

That's Rev. Michael Woolf, and this is his church.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

The good news: I'm caught up on the trash bill before it's due date for the first time this year.

The bad news: It's because I took on a lot of extra work last week and now I'm in a chronic illness flare up. 🥴

I have a vent that's probably overly woke,but oh well. I hate the phrase "skill issue." While I've definitely seen it used in a joking way, it's often really rude and can honestly be ableist as fuck. I'll put some examples below.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

In honor of men's mental health month,can we talk about the effects of poverty on mental health? Or are we just going to say "you matter 💚" and move on with our lives?
