Fun fact: people simply living nearby were also teargassed WHILE INSIDE THEIR HOMES.
I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.

But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.
The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Kansas has passed a bill that would revoke trans people's drivers licenses, forcing them to surrender them for replacements.

It also creates trans bounty hunters that can sue trans people for money.

It goes to the gov, who will veto, but R's can override.

So, once again, all criticism of fictional plots can go straight out the window.

"Villains don't just confess their crimes."
"Bad guys don't say 'where is the best crime place?'"
"Your protagonist shouldn't make stupid mistakes repeatedly."

Yeah, so...

10-12 dried red NM Chile pods
Salt
2-3 garlic cloves, peeled and trimmed
Salt

This is the hardcore basic way we do it back home. Stem and seed your chile pods. Then toast them in a dry cast iron pan until fragrant. Chiles into water, bring to a boil. 1/?

Across the US, people have been criminalized for miscarrying at home on a toilet, burying remains, placing remains in a bag and then a trash receptacle, and after taking remains to a hospital. Many of the laws used are 100's of years old. Read the new report from Pregnancy Justice.

Congressional Democrats need to understand that the government they normally vote to fund doesn't exist anymore.

All government funding gives terrorist leader Donald Trump more power to terrorize people.

If you're all parking in one spot, leave someone behind to keep an eye on the cars and take pics of anyone surveilling/planting things on them.

Keep your phone locked except when necessary - in Pittsboro one of ours had her phone stolen by fash after they hit her in the head with a hockey stick
Use separate cars for rapid response and mutual aid. That one really is important

Don’t use your full legal name as your Signal display name. Assume your Signal chats are public & don’t talk about crimes or share sensitive info you wouldn’t want screenshotted by a reporter or read out loud in court

"Our new analysis shows that it is far more dangerous to be pregnant than to have an abortion, and this gap in mortality risk is even larger than previously recognized.” - lead study author Maria Steenland.
In fact, the mortality risk of pregnancy is 44 to 70 times higher than from abortion.
Risk of maternal death during pregnancy greatly underestimated, study finds
A new study comparing deaths of pregnant people and of those who have an abortion show that risk of death due to pregnancy is three times higher than previously estimated.

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.

Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.
