We know many friends and neighbors in our community are scared to go to work, to send kids to school, or even to go outside.

Twin Cities- it’s been another day with extreme ICE activity in our neighborhoods.
Despite the best efforts of rapid response teams, we sometimes got there too late to prevent kidnappings.
And we had some successes- multiple kidnapping attempts were prevented by the organizing of neighbors.

It's not about being heroic in the moment, you gotta eat your vegetables, do your homework, keep your grades up. At some point a fucked up moment will come along and you'll have your shit together enough to be the one who handles it because you were ready.

Don't just repost this and think "I did a politics." Put the number in your phone as a contact. The Goon Squad got their budget multiplied by 10x next year and not if - when you see them you're not gonna remember the tweet or the number so put it in your phone now.
If you see any federal activity, call the MONARCA rapid response hotline at 612-441-2881.

This is just my opinion, but I don't think departments need to change their strategy for reading or grading student work.
Departments need a strategy for responding to harassment and attacks.

every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

So many things about this are awesome: Every member of the ensemble is fun to watch, the blue suits are perfect against the adorably busy background of the TD, the music is tremendous, the physicality of playing instruments really comes through … just the whole thing is utterly fabulous.

I have the misfortune of knowing more than I would care to about Kristi Fulnecky. The fact that her kid did this is entirely unsurprising.
she also resigned from the springfield missouri city council amid a campaign to recall her. when she ran for mayor, she lost by 36 points
funny bit of the OU TPUSA bible essay thing that's not being reported on: her mom was a defense lawyer for january 6th defendants. when her client was sentenced to 12 years in prison for attacking police officers she claimed he was a "political prisoner"

While we still have them, talk to older doctors who've seen whooping cough. It's horrific.
I've posted this before, but I conteacted it as a 20-something (pre TDap) and it is the sickest I have ever been. I cannot imagine willfully inflicting this on infants.

I wish all figures of authority cared about moms and babies. But some don’t. Some even want you to hurt. And those are the people who cast doubt on the vaccination miracle that has allowed so many of us to live longer and better.

Knowing about the student's family, I absolutely think this was planned. Kristi Fulnecky has been a canker on Springfield, MO politics for years and years. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
"the essay sucks ass" is no doubt true, couldn't be bothered to read it, but consider that the essay may have been written to receive an F in order to instigate a campaign against the trans TA. in any case it's not a great dunk because this isn't about the essay, it's about purging trans ppl

15—Here comes your man
Always a popular song in Ireland, where the term 'yer man' is used for any male you don't remember the name of (for a woman it's 'yer wan'). And having one of the catchiest guitar riffs ever conceived didn't hurt.

Well this 2,600-year-old clay letter was a journey.
It comes from the archive of a goldsmith named Nabû-zeru-iddin in the heart of ancient Assyria. We’ve got someone left on read, a lawsuit, a mean step-mom, and people who get drunk and steal silver.

Everyone should enjoy a good late season puffball smashing to help spread the spores, just be sure to avoid inhaling the cloud as doing so can potentially result in something called Lycoperdonosis, a respiratory disease caused by inhalation of large quantities of warty Lycoperdon spores. #Mushrooms
