I would rather feed 100 people who can feed themselves, if it means 1 person won't starve, than starve 100 people who need my help to prevent 1 person from taking advantage of me.

So, neighbors are hiding children and families from a state sanctioned secret police force that is rounding folks up, without any due process, based primarily on their identity.

Next you're going to tell me the girl kept a diary.

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.
On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
"I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.
"I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.
"I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her,
'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.

If someone merely acknowledging the humanity of your enemies enrages you, you’re the baddies.

It's not too late to take these and do your own March Madness style tournament.

It simply should not be possible for the president to repeatedly claim that a major city is burning without a wall of live standups happening in that city clearly demonstrating that it is not

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Hey, I know it's not the most important thing right now, because the other concerns are more immediate.

But it bears repeating that the Trump regime is illegitimate. It was unconstitutional for him to be on the ballot, to certify his election, and to swear him in. Biden just handed him the keys.

The longer this illegitimate regime lasts, the easier it gets to forget that none of this is permissible by the law of the land. Not just the actions the regime has taken, but the existence of the regime at all.

It is a reminder that laws as written only matter when people enforce them.

I think they're also betting that if fascism loses, the rest of us will just forgive and forget. That they'll have an easier time winning us back after this is all over, so it's worth making nice with the illegitimate regime while it's still in power.

"They don't want to have a king so they hate America" is a very, very telling position to take.

This might pull me back in to the game. I'd more or less done all the things I was trying to do last time I played, and knew I'd be back once enough compelling stuff dropped.

Oberon was probably my biggest "how hyped am I for the vibes" to "how bummed am I at how it feels to play" gap ever

This is simply the same principle as "if your business model can't survive when you pay your workers a living wage, then you don't have a business model"

Abusing other people CANNOT be accepted as a bedrock principle of a functioning system.

Whether it’s Donald Trump saying J.B. Pritzker should be in jail or Donald Trump being convicted of 36 felonies but not going to jail because the American people re-elected him as president, both sides have been linked to jail time.

What does this bring the "social media own-goal" tally up to for the Trump admin? I know it's not a low number

The DOJ's entire strategy for defending unconstitutional misconduct is "you have to let the president do what he wants, because he wants to"

Perry: DOJ's definition of rebellion would mean that
"literally all nonviolent protest” could be considered evidence of rebellion. Is that your argument?
Hamilton: The president has determined there is a danger of a rebellion, and you must defer to that finding

My joy is also a little orange girl who loves to put her face in my face 🥰

Just want to remind everyone that little moments of joy are so important right now.

For instance, my cat does not understand the human concept of kisses beyond Incoming Nose = Love. So every time she’s happy, she’ll smush her face or shove her nose into ours.

Please share your joys with us.
