Ayer, Liam, de cinco años, y su papá Adrian fueron liberados del centro de detención de Dilley. Los recogí anoche y los acompañé de regreso a Minnesota esta mañana.
Liam ya está en casa. Con su gorra y su mochila.

Went to the opening weekend of the #InstituteofTexanCultures — #free admission until tomorrow! They have an exhibit on #EmmaTenayuca and the #PecanShellersStrike (which took place #OTDIH) as well as a rotating exhibit on #mum culture in #Texas.

I love this. I sincerely mean what I’m about to say in the most respectful, admiring way, but this crowd looks like a bunch of hippies. Groovy, man. 😎🌸☮️💚
Yesterday, hundreds of high school students in #SanAntonio walked out of classes as part of the #NationalShutdown to end #ICE terror. Many kids showed up at the 2pm protest, and danced to a local singer. This is #JoyfulResistance.

#OTDIH in 1938, the historic #PecanShellersStrike took place right here in #SanAntonio. Nearly 12,000 workers (mostly #Latina, led by #EmmaTenayuca) walked off the job in protest of wage cuts to already underpaid positions in unsafe working conditions.

Just putting this post out here again. My brain is rotting without pub quiz. Please, someone in the #SanAntonio area, give @gwdpaulina.bsky.social a lead!
Geeks Who Drink at Breakaway Brewing is no more.
Currently: Looking for a new location!
Do you know a great place in San Antonio that would love trivia??

Omg, I remember watching #JuryDuty and admiring how wholesome Ronald was—he wanted to do the right thing by patriotically respecting his civic responsibility to deliver a fair trial. #CompanyRetreat sounds soulless and vapid. Why should I care about the empty hijinx of a family vying for a business?
'Jury Duty' season 2 has a premiere date — and a spicy setting for its new unsuspecting subject, Anthony.

#OTDIH in 1861, weaksauce #Texas governor #SamHouston ignored a cabal of top level state officials who formed an illegal sub-quorum convention to vote overwhelmingly to #secede from the #Union. The state then came to #SanAntonio to seize our arsenal, forcing federal presence to evacuate the city.

Cis-straight white men speaking out — this is what should be happening more often.
Congressman Tom Suozzi was confronted.
He is one of seven Democrats casting the decisive votes to increase ICE funding by $10,000,000,000. Hideous, grotesque, fascist-loving coward, this man has blood on his hands. We will not forgive him, and we will not forget.

What the—?! So this is what happened on #IH-35 the other day when we were alerted on our phones? I went through there this morning, and everything seemed fine. Didn’t even remember an #accident had taken place. Well done to the city crew(s) who fixed this. #SanAntonio #CarCrashes #AutoCollisions

OK, same! I started receiving their newsletters about a week ago, and I was like, Huh? What is this? I had never heard of DailyWire+, so I opened one of their messages today—their content is full of revisionist history of the slave trade, homeschool curricula, gospel, & racist standup specials. WTF?
Ok who signed me up for the DailyWire??

TIL #Mexico severed all diplomatic relations with #Spain for nearly four decades following its slip into #fascism post- #SpanishCivilWar. I wonder which of our allies will soon do the same to us. Isn’t it crazy how a modern power like Spain slipped so quickly, so precariously into fascism?

Have you ever seen such a consistent stream of highly attended demonstrations throughout the country, in modern American history? The common denominator is blinding.

Good afternoon from downtown Chicago, where despite heavy snowfall, thousands have gathered for an anti-ICE/CBP demonstration in solidarity with the Twin Cities. More are still streaming in.
Lt. Illinois Gov. Juliana Stratton just addressed the crowd, and called for ICE to be abolished.

It’s been a busy start to the year! Our Jan meeting—our largest yet!—explored Torrey Peters’s STAG DANCE, a kaleidoscopic anthology of #trans stories. Did you know that gender-bending galas existed in the Wild West?

My phone's weather app is claiming it's going to snow later tonight. I'm skeptical. I think it's just going to ice. I mean, I'd rather it would snow, but I'll be surprised if it happens.
