"If you feel despair, defeated, if you catch yourself dissociating or focusing on what our oppressors are doing rather than on what you can do yourself—that is territory that the enemy has claimed within you.

Stay focused on your agency."

No one let go of anyone's hand.

During the Bolsonaro regime in Brazil, resistors adopted this phrase to remind all that we need to stand together, and especially with those targeted by the regime.

That's the assignment now.

I know this is kind of spitting into the wind, but I'd like to make an effort:

Just because ICE calls them "administrative warrants" doesn't make that the most accurate term for them.

They are forms. ICE forms. Signed by an ICE employee. Authorizing an arrest, but still, a _form._

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Mark Rutte:

During my visit to Kyiv today I saw a civilian heating plant targeted by Russian missiles.

No military value whatsoever - attacks meant only to make people suffer.

But Ukraine stands strong. And NATO stands with you.

The *ONLY* headline today should be:

TRUMP THREATENS TO NATIONALIZE ELECTIONS!
Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"

Oh no, this is just devastating. Her comedic chops were unmatched, but her emotional duet with Eugene Levy in Mighty Wind was what I first thought of. RIP to an absolute gem.

Through Beauty 2 The Streetz, Shirley Raines gave Skid Row more than food and makeovers, she gave hope. She reminded us that dignity is a human right, no matter your zip code. A Sister to the people. Her impact will live on. Rest in Power, Shirley

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask:

"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

It’ll be a long time —if ever —that I can look at a man dressed in a dark suit, a white shirt and a red tie, and not think of fascism
Trump on the Florida Panthers: "Good looking people. Young, beautiful people. I hate them. You hate standing here with all this power behind you. But I got power too. It's called the United States military. I don't care."

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison announces the state is filing a lawsuit against DHS:

"We ask that the courts will end the surge of thousands of DHS agents into Minnesota. We ask the courts to end the DHS' unlawful behavior in our state, the intimidation, the threats, the violence."

This was an eye opening post. Dave is normally a jovial dude. Their military background gives them a different perspective. But I think it is an honest and accurate analysis. 😢
This #CupOfJoe goes to Dave, of kris.and.dave (IG). He serving us some truth. ICE is a government sanctioned terrorist organization.
