I think it's important to boost news of the general strike in Minneapolis today and it's possible to do it without the hyperbole that nobody in the media is covering it
It may not be getting the attention it deserves! Posting links to reported stories is one way to combat that!

The 5-year-old arrested by ICE In Minnesota is detained at Dilley. We reported on conditions there in the below article.
Parents said the food was contaminated with mold and worms & that children were so under so much stress that they were hitting their own faces & wetting themselves.

Analysis by The Marshall Project of ICE data obtained by the Deportation Data Project found that the Trump administration’s revival of family detention has swept thousands of children into ICE custody. At least 3,800 children under 18, including 20 infants, have been booked since Trump took office.
ICE Threw Thousands of Kids in Detention, Many For Longer Than Court-Prescribed Limit

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

Happy belated Mary Sue day!! @peachchild.bsky.social has put together a killer team for this, who all clearly share the same creative origin story (being bitten by a radioactive blorbo.)
Mary Sue: the friends we (sometimes literally) make along the way, during the mortifying ordeal of being known.

I just called Chuck Schumer’s office and, for the first time EVER, a person answered, who then politely entered my complaints into their call log.
This tells me two things:
1) They’re not getting enough calls over there, and 2) If you want to yell at Schumer, today’s the day.
(212) 486-4430

I am so STOKED for this, everyone's got a Mary Sue in their past, and if someone says they don't, they are LYING.
Apologies to everyone I'm seeing this month, because all I will be talking about is either Fantastic 4 or Mary Sue (which you should order from your local comic bookstore today)!
