PSA: I have a tremor. Sometimes, my thumb hovers where the follow button is. If it looks like I'm following, unfollowing and refollowing, etc., it's just my fumble fingers.

If you are a Christian and are going to that big ole protest in a few days, make a sign that says “no king but Christ”

That’s our messaging and we need to take it back from these evangelical “churches”

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
"I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.
"I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.
"I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her,
'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.

I would add a last item:

If you are hiding people, do not tell a soul. No one. Not even those you would trust. Walls have ears, and people like to share. When you tell one person, assume 10 will very soon know - and you don't know the other 9.

As of now Anne Frank Rules Apply
1. Protect targeted people and make sure they don't disappear.
2. Hide targeted people and make sure thay are informed.
3. Deliver no usable information to any official person.
5. Surround yourself with trusted people who feel the same.

You get to read the book, *other* people get to read the book, and every interaction like this that you have with your local library sends a message that it is valued and supported by the community.

Apart from everything else, now is a great time to support civic institutions!

Hey, I know books are expensive and money is tight right now.

But if there's a brand new book you really wanna read — including my own Lessons in Magic and Disaster — you can help get the book into way more hands by requesting it from your local library!

It's easy! Check your library's website.

Thinking about that time the My Little Pony comics, of all things, absolutely bodied Scott Adams.

Close up of Pinkie Pie looking at a newspaper comic saying “Hmpf. I thought these were supposed to be funny?”

The comic is called Ponybert by Trot Adams. It opens with a building and we see a word balloon that says “Well?” The second panel is of Ponybert, the Dilbert stand-in saying “No one is smart but me.”

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

You need to read more history. We don't have a completely free market and never have. We also have had lots of employment programs and benefits for corporations hiring. You're completely wrong.
