First up, the first miniature I've ever painted. A halfling barbarian I whipped up for a TTRPG campaign

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

I am not being snarky. I need my colleagues who wrote on covid school lockdowns to engage with this. To be as loud as they have been about prior "learning loss." Hell, you can cite Tom & Mark's AERJ paper so you feel better that there's some econ somewhere in your argument.

Happy birthday Bob! This great ape is 20 today 🦧

Bob is known throughout the Oregon Zoo for his unique bond with 3-year-old Jolene. Though male orangutans typically don't play much of a role in parenting, Bob is an active father who can often be seen playing with and caring for his daughter 💕

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.

1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish.

2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

There is going to come a time in your life when you are chatting with a guy, at a barbecue or something, a new coworker maybe, a dad at school drop off, and he tells you he used to be in ICE. You’re going to need to spit on that guy
Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

Hard agree. It’s just wrong! There’s a reason my community is full of Latino and Hmong and Somali people, and it’s because another America does exist and has existed. A free and welcoming America we can return to
I've said this before, but "america was always fascist" is simply not an effective messaging strategy for fighting an american fascist movement. you should not cede them control of the national identity! that's what they want!
People who say this are clearly speaking aspirationally about a shared American creed they hold dear. “Have you heard of the Trail of Tears?” is not a very helpful response, because they probably have and the priority right now is moral opposition to fascism and not fake-educating each other.

by the way, all of this, dozens of goons, weapons brandished massive teargassing of public space, people beaten in the street, destroying two intersections on either side of my neighborhood, horror, all seems to have been to create a distraction to abduct crying two teenagers who were here legally
look what they’re doing to my city. apologies for the camerawork

Federal agents abduct two teenagers (15 & 16) from a doctor's appointment

At one point, it appears an agent tases one of the children

'Why aren't they in the streets' is answered almost every day in my small town by people in the streets! Rather than asking 'why aren't they in the streets' it's worth asking 'why isn't your media showing them in the streets' and 'who is served by downplaying resistane in its myriad forms.'
The idea that there are no protests in the US and no one is standing up to Trump is proving incredibly hard to kill over here in Germany. It’s become dogma, utterly detached from empirical reality.

I wonder if the people who keep talking like that understand they’re perpetuating regime propaganda.
