Giving money to the legal aid for detained people is something almost everyone can do what has serious long term positive.

Do it and share it everywhere.
Our sweet housekeeper was detained by ICE at her last check-in and sent with her minor daughters to a facility in TX.

We have hope she’ll be released. If you’d like to donate to help with legal fees & other costs associated with her life being flipped upside down:

A Thing My Mother With Dementia Just Said To Me:

"You're a female, of course you have temperament"

(I brought her strawberries, she said "you're a nice lady" and I said "I sometimes fail but I always try")

Obama being more Irish than JD Vance is funny lol
JD Vance’s Irish ancestry claim hits a genealogical dead end

DUP-commissioned report fails to find a link between JD Vance — a self-declared Scots-Irish — and Ireland.

How unfortunate for their narrative scientific inquiry seems to be
More than two years ago, Utah Republicans commissioned a study on gender-affirming care for youth. It just came back, and the conclusion is unambiguous: full recommendation in support of gender-affirming care.

Utah study on trans youth care extremely inconvenient for politicians who ordered it
The state's ban on gender-affirming pediatric care "cannot be justified" by science, a two-year review concluded.

Chattal slavery isn't unique to capitalism but it IS foundational to it.

You can't support capitalism without holding a grain of belief of people that are ultimately replaceable things whose value is ultimately a calculated level of production.

It isn't an easy belief to undo. It has barbs.
We start with the ideas that every human being is a unique and irreplaceable piece of living art holding limitless potential and unsurpassable worth, and that human society is boundaryless and inextricable from any other human or from our natural environment.
Profit absolutely is NOT the point of human society!

How do we fight this?

More... what DO we want to teach? What IS the point of human society?

Watching TV with Mom,
Ok, so a cop makes an incredibly illegal search. He finds a basement full of people in cages. Could someone argue that the testimony of the people freed also inadmissible?

I usually use Classico if I am looking for pasta sauce. The quality has gone hella down hill in the last ten years though. Now they changed the jar and I am so annoyed by that I won't be getting it ever again.

I goes we try Raos?

I'm a working class white woman from Ohio and I'm fucking terrified. I cannot imagine being Black or Jewish. Having a same sex partner. Being undocumented.

I keep having to remind myself that cowering isn't an option.

Hey, quick question. Has anyone had a 24 hour period without being struck by intense and debilitating dread, anger, and/or fear?

Is it just me.

Relistening to Hogfather and really he went back to his roots on it and every year I'm struck by it a little more because I have more context. He wasn't just writing Discworld as it became but Discworld as it originated as a parody of genre.

whatever you feel about this you have to admit it's rare for a radicalized man who's frustrated or angry and ready to choose violence to actually correctly identify the source of their suffering, instead of just blaming and killing women and minorities.....
