To any ICE agents reading this who are from down south—you have never experienced anything like this cold. Our European climate equivalent is literally Stalingrad. It will hurt to breathe. You will be outside in it. So will we, but we are used to it.

Next week is what will break you.
We've lead charmed weather lives so far in January.
Temperatures are +5F to +10F across MN so far this month. 🌡️
We're about to be reminded what persistent cold and occasional snow feels like. ❄️
MSP could bottom out -10 to -20 next Tue.

Comic artist LeBeau Underwood’s daughter has been missing in Chicago since yesterday morning. Please share in the hopes we can bring the family a happy conclusion to this.

I also take a higher dosage of my antidepressant than the manufacturer makes

(I buy two prescriptions of the same med at different doses)
if it ever seems like I’m doing well in my life that’s entirely due to the fact that I go to 3 different kinds of therapies 4 times a week

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time.

Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief.

Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time.

Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.
"The Department of Homeland Security plans to pause operations in Chicago — where Gregory Bovino, a Border Patrol official, has led controversial arrest efforts — to support the immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota."

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

Thinking a lot about how even those of us that survive All This relatively ok will still have worse health outcomes years. Us, our kids, their kids, the neverending grief from this will etch itself in our DNA. And for the marginalized among us, that damage will be *worse*.

Every one of us has had a car momentarily drive near us without us shooting the driver three times in the head. It is a level of bravery children possess wandering a parking lot. Even chickens cross the road.

I want to build a world where every day can be a Grinch toilet day. I never want to make a serious post again for the rest of my life
Kinda sucks how one day you’ll post stuff like “does the Grinch use the toilet?” and then the next it has to be “I reject those who worship death”

Our streets will never be safe so long as these lawless thugs are allowed to continue invading our communities to kidnap and murder our neighbors.

Abolish ICE.
