The US bringing back Columbus Day? F*CK NO!

Today is Indigenous Peoples Day. We honor those who first had the US, before colonizers claimed it as “theirs”. So f*ck Christopher Columbus, and Happy Indigenous Peoples Day!

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.

Dolly Parton’s sister, Freida Parton, is asking for people to pray for her sister’s health.

Verified Facebook post by Freida Parton. The caption reads:

“Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly. Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me. She’s strong, she’s loved, and with all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart she’s going to be just fine. Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you! ❤️”

Below the caption is a photo of Dolly Parton standing outdoors in front of lush green ivy, hands clasped in prayer, wearing a shiny silver outfit with lace-trimmed sleeves, her signature blonde hair styled in soft curls, looking upward serenely.

Black people in Chicago had their apartment building raided in the middle of the night, were detained for hours, and had their Fourth Amendment rights violated during an ICE operation that had nothing to do with them. Nah, they are not thrilled.

Stephen Miller: "The Black people in Chicago are thrilled that we're getting the illegal aliens out of their communities who are stealing their housing, jobs, and resources."

Hot Take: Universal Basic Income is necessary and will work and those that don't think it will either have a vested interest in the current system as is or lack faith in humanity and think that somehow ppl will stop doing jobs if they had a safety net of money to pay for necessities.

The first page of a two page comic of Jonathan Sims and Martin Blackwood from The Magnus Archives. There are four panels on this page. In the first panel Jon's hands are holding Martin's face as Jon says Martin's name. Martin's expression is blank and his eyes are obscured by his fogged up glasses. His colours are very desaturated. The second panel shows a wider shot of Jon holding Martin's face, tilting Martin's head towards him as he says "Martin, look at me." They are surrounded by a thick fog. The third panel shows Jon's face as he looks upwards with a worried expression. He says "Look at me and tell me what you see." The fourth panel shows Martin's face largely obscured by fog as he says "I see..."
