This is a GoFundMe supporting the tamale lady taken by ICE on 21st Place and Damen in Pilsen yesterday.

“Now she’s being forced to start over in Mexico with nothing — no home, no job, and no access to the medical care she desperately needs.”

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

#Tempest was good. Very twisty and had a lot to say about international politics (they stink!)

I still don't get how or why English speakers STILL, with a big budget, sound so awkward? The cadence is ALWAYS the same, too. Even John Cho didn't sound like himself. They sounded better than normal tho

Let's be open to ALL VIRUSES, says DJT's administration. UGH.

I don't know if there's such a thing as a "world cyberwar" but I think we are in one? and the US is determined to lose it. 🧵

Today the admin is mass-firing the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the nation's cybersecurity protection across all levels of government.

i get that some staffer is churning these out but a simple “thank you for writing, we take our constituents’ opinions seriously” would have gone many, many miles further

btw i both called and wrote pritzker’s office to register my displeasure with state and county cops’ behavior at broadview and the answer i got back was practically nonsensical. i didn’t save it but it did not address any of my concerns directly

What's funny about DJT is that he's doing all the nepo/grifting stuff out loud and upfront. This happens all the time more quietly.

⚪Americans in particular don't like that their social mores are being upended. Like do your dirt, man, but please do it more discreetly.

Decorum. Politeness.

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

I just don't want my whole adult life to be about healing. It's beyond boring now. I want to have more fun, even as (and because) the world keep trying to flush itself down the cosmic toilet.

At least I can celebrate I'm not being actively anymore. That's huge. But still. This is a big yawn.

I just want off of permanent clean-up duty. But I'm back here at home to do more of it.

I mean, this is a 12th house profection year, so why was I expecting it to be good? It's basement dwelling for sure.

Being a gifted person has had period of aloneness and not aloneness. Definitely back to aloneness, and I mean that more in spirit than just in body.

It really makes me glad for all sorts of media, for books, for movies, for TV shows, for music, for art.

I have to see their family pics in this place almost every day and it's just annoying more than anything. I don't feel hurt anymore or anything.

It's that healing has meant dumping most of the people I've known. It's hard to accept that, I did the best I could but was not surrounded by the best.

I broke ties over 20 years ago when I was sharing the abuse and neglect I was experiencing and they didn't know, or want to know, how to accept those truths and support me. It was a real kick in my guts when I was starting my healing journey.

I've known these people since I was little but I couldn't deal with how involved they got in my life in a bad way. Oldest was there for me for a few years but it ended up being like he was my shrink. I wanted reciprocity but he didn't.

Oldest hasn't called in a gazillion years and kept trying to connect with me on social media. I have him blocked everywhere (creepy Taurus stuff).

So my mom is visiting with a family she is super enmeshed with. They live in TX now and it's basically because the younger son's wife is from TX. His older brother, who I was closer to, moved out there, too, I think, with his family. Their parents moved from here a few years ago.

To come to this broken down country and to be treated worse than a dog...it's infuriating.

I have never heard of a stroke so bad that a brain stem squeezes out the back of a skull.

May that city and county find no rest or peace until than man receives justice.
