I was asked to share this by a friend who a minister and activist in Minneapolis. Today ICE murdered a man in the streets for no good reason. It was an unhinged, immoral execution
Share this far and wide to help spread the word and to let Minneapolis know that we all stand with them.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003
when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

Proud and relieved.
New Jersey, it is the honor of my life to earn your trust to become this great state’s 57th Governor.
I promise to listen, lead with courage, and never forget who I serve.

“Trump is creating a secret police that will be better funded than the Marines” should be the all caps headline every Democrat is running with, and only partly because I’m sick of having to be the one who tells friends and family about it.
Again! No one highlights the ICE money. If you are posting like this, you're pitching to the white Americans you hope don't care about brown people getting kidnapped, and not to "the groups" that GET YOU ELECTED.
Senate Republicans just passed the Big Ugly Bill, which contains
- Massive tax cuts for billionaires
- Tax hikes for working Americans
- 17 million lose health care
- The biggest cuts to Medicaid and SNAP ever
- Higher energy costs
- Trillions in debt
It comes to the House now. We will fight this.

@finalbosscomics.bsky.social I think you can argue for two ballots over there.
Just talking to my comrades and realise they don't actually have an Eisner ballot, as they're not registered.
So, I'm lobbing this in public - anyone in comics (creators, retailers, librarians, educators, editors, whoever) can apply here and vote before June 5th.

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.
