I was curious about whether this was just named after somebody named “White” but no they literally called it this because it was a settlement of white people
This race was such a massive swing blowout that Democrat Taylor Rehmet literally won a city called White Settlement

It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

The worst part of this 2nd time is that YET AGAIN overlapped with my period. There were only 9 days this month that I wasn't bleeding and that feels deeply unfair on top of everything else.
Today I almost fainted in the shower, then broke into a cold sweat on the toilet while my bowels waged war. 👎

I literally wear mask everwhere outside the apartment except for when I eat. I've been feeling under the weather this week and thought it was the incessant cold but when I left work early today because of dizziness and sore throat I took a covid test and it wenr immediately to POSITIVE 😫

Cause we all know the first thing cops do before they tackle you to the ground and beat the shit out of you is ask to see a note from your doctor.
Sadly, the push for anti-mask laws is back. The Alabama House has passed a bill that would criminalize protesting in a mask without a doctor’s note.

Staff at a Twin Cities yarn store put together a pattern for a red knit “Melt the ICE” hat inspired by the Norwegian resistance.
They thought they would attract 10 people to a weekly knit-along.
They’ve sold 70,000 copies, raising more than $250k for immigrant aid groups.
