Thereβs just so much swirling around, but this is a very valid point. If we werenβt having chaos tossed at us left & right 24/7, this point alone might be a really big deal. It is alarming, and indeed, a big deal.

Literally every threat that the US or Israel makes to Iran I think in my head βor what youβre going to kill their leader and slaughter a bunch of school kids?β Being monsters out the gate doesnβt really give you a good chance to deescalate anything
An image from The Guardian mobile app, saying, βTrump says he has signed an order imposing a 10% tariff on all imports Donald Trump has announced on his social media platform that he has signed an order to impose tariffs on every nation, although he made no reference to what legal authority he was relying on to do so. βIt is my Great Honor to have just signed, from the Oval Office, a Global 10% Tariff on all Countries, which will be effective almost immediately,β the president posted.
Look, we gotta find the laughs where we can. I got a good, weird chuckle from this phrasing. @theguardian.com lol, ββ¦although he made no reference to what legal authority he was relying on to do so.β π β°οΈ π₯
This is just one of the reasons it is vital to check in w/ yourself at this time, especially when hearing the latest media dump of whatever atrocity is going on--especially if you've experienced these kind of dynamics in the past. The DARVO whiplash is huge w/ this admin.

A short that amplifies a community org helping folks when released from π§detention centers. Folks are released in the middle of the night, not returned back. If swiped from their cars or homes, they are released w/ nothing. Haven Watch stands outside these centers & offers coats, food, a ride, etc.
A wild thing how writing from 400 years ago can remain so timely.

I super agree w/ The Speech Prof. It's pretty alarming that this person he stitched seems to mean what he's saying earnestly. He SAYS if women don't have (hetero)romantic relationships, then tend to pour their time & energy into friendships & work, etc. Yes. And so can men.

Thereβs so much going on here. MV will halt the use of street surveillance cameras (yay!) but due to concerns of a data breach & free for all of the data collected from the cameras, used by other depts and feds, who werenβt supposed to have access to that info. π΅βπ«π€¦π»ββοΈ

Compassion and humanity is not scarce. In some of the most awful and upside down circumstances, they kept their humanity in tact, when many would have said, "eff that" real quick.

screenshot of text from Adam Serwer in The Atlantic: "The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they're the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive - because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about "Western civilization," while armed brutes try to tear it down by force."

Dang, he straight up said, "you can't have guns." π Where are all the NRA bros & diehard 2A folks who are often against gun reform? Agent π is saying you "can't" have them. Why would he say such a thing? How might that benefit the agenda? Have a think on that. #meltice

I've talked to people on the ground about the strike here tomorrow, and the single thing everyone brings up is just how shockingly wide the support for the strike is. Businesses that no one would have expected to support it are doing so.
This was a beautiful reminder that femininity isn't a thing women/femme folk defined, it was a projected means of managing women, & creating a framework for how we're supposed to look, act, & be. We're a LOT more complex than simply, "being soft."

A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

Re: the shooting in Minneapolis, & it brings up a good point, how the "agent" was already actively in motion of pulling the gun, when the car was in REVERSE. The scummy excuse is the car was charging toward him, & he shot in self defense. Evidence doesn't support that.

Mmm, this is good. All the recovering people pleasers, first born eldest daughters, and/or "reliable work horse" types can probably relate and take something from this.

I didn't slam down quite as many books as my bookworm peers, but I'm thankful I still have interest/curiosity in storytelling & reading. I've said it repeatedly, but it benefits businesses/people in power for us to be stupid, sad, & w/o critical thinking skills.

I've had these dates, I've had these "friends", I've had these "relationships/situationships." This is the freakin' truth. π«
