🧊 Also pictured -- the latest ice map from the U.S. National Ice Center; some Bay waters are more than 90% ice covered.
Many thanks to Lane Purvis for the photos, taken yesterday from above Kent Island.

10 years of democratic backsliding so aggressive you'd be forgiven for forgetting that in the middle was a lost election then a coup attempt and then a failure to prosecute the plotters instigators and beneficiaries of the coup attempt before the aspirational authoritarians returned to office.

I think it is OUTRAGEOUS that people are LEAPING to the conclusion that some our post prominent Americans are child rapists when it is EQUALLY PLAUSIBLE that they are simply indifferent to whether other people are child rapists so long as those other people can offer them access to power.

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.
But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

it's never the crazy weird conspiracy theory weapons. they are poisoning you with toxins they are well-documented to have. they are beating you with ordinary sticks and shooting you with ordinary guns
the only conspiracy is how they gained legal immunity to do this

My group was able to recover a spent canister from a green smoke grenade in Minneapolis. We now confirm with physical evidence that it was a green signaling grenade.
Please don't spread rumors about hexachloroethane or nerve agents.
