Extinguishing MLK's Eternal Flame is both outrageous and a hell of a metaphor for right now www.wsbtv.com/news/local/a...

Eternal flame at Martin Luther King Jr.’s Atlanta burial site destroyed

If any cops arrest ICE, then I will believe that the cops might be there to deescalate and preserve peace or whatever.

Let's see that happen first.

Otherwise they're just helping Nazis. And people who help Nazis are Nazi collaborators.

People are really asking me why the mainstream news is barely reporting the closing of special ed dept at DoEd like all our big media companies aren't owned and run by absolute psychopaths.

Kinda hammers home how Dominionist christofascists would react to Jesus back when - a brown, immigrant, poor wanderer born on the run in a manger who was very liberal and empathetic to the downtrodden, sick, ostracized & poor

They’d be hunting him down & crucifying him then as today

I’m well & long lapsed from Catholicism but the monstrance is a very big deal

This priest is pulling out the big guns, religiously speaking - to the Catholic faith, Jesus *himself* has now been denied by ICE

Outside of the Broadview ICE facility, a state trooper tells the delegation attempting to have communion with detainees that ICE has denied their request.

The end of federal enforcement of special ed laws. Some states - including MN - will likely be ok. But a lot of disabled kids in a lot of states are going to lose the education that federal law and decades of jurisprudence say they are owed.

Education Department wipes out special ed office in shutdown layoffs, union says

The Education Department laid off nearly everyone at the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services.

When I left my pediatrics unit, they spray painted the tiniest 2.5mm tracheostomy cannula gold and gave it to me at my last report, cause I'd been one of the primaries all but one of the new trach cases for 5 yrs.

Super moving.

Unfortunately they didn't seal it, and now it looks tetanus friendly.

Wrote 732 words today, well past my quota. Got lost in the scene in a good way, which feels great. Picking up momentum. I'm in the endgame now, thank Crom. 15,056 words total so far. I think I'm going to land right on the knife edge of novelette/novella.

A man in Oregon stole a car, realized there was a baby inside, turned around to return the child safely, cussed the parents out for leaving the baby alone, then hopped back in the car and drove off again 😭💀

He said “oh yall wanna leave the baby in the car? Say less yall don’t need a car!”

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

I cannot even imagine the histories of sexual harassment, violence and domestic violence that those masked men have perpetrated.

We should consider them all predators.

I'm sitting here thinking about having a 15 daughter being chased down and abducted by masked men while the local police watch and let them carry her away to god-knows where w/zero accountability

we have to understand that girls are in severe danger of sexual violence from anonymous ICE goons
