Oscar watch commencing
My house rules are that for a full watch I have to see all the movies in all categories before the beginning of the Oscar ceremonies, so if the only nomination is for best song I have to watch the whole thing
This year that means 50 movies and I’ve only seen 1

Yesterday, my family group chat was abuzz about Minnesota and ICE... "What can we do??"
I spent some time giving them advice, articles to read, encouraging them to find community where they live.
There has never been a greater time to recruit people into your movement.

This is unconscionable. Evil.
But it happened in May 2023, when Biden was president.
So no, we don’t “reform immigration detention,” we destroy ICE, CBP, and DHS. We can’t reform this soul sickness.

Anadith Danay Reyes Álvarez died in government custody.
She had sickle cell and congenital heart disease but couldn’t access timely and adequate medical care.
We need to reform immigration detention.

Legitimately a feat of carefully calculated writing to issue a Holocaust Remembrance Day statement of this length without mentioning either (1) the people who perpetrated the Holocaust or (2) the people against whom they perpetrated it

This is the way, make “ok, abolish only ICE” the moderate position.
Amid growing calls for the abolition of ICE, Rep. Delia Ramirez is calling for the entire DHS to be dismantled. Highlighting how much experience the officers who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti had, Ramirez said, “DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity.”
House Democrat Says Abolishing ICE Isn’t Enough — DHS Must Go, Too

The thing is that it shouldn’t take murder to spark outrage amongst the vast majority of Americans, but kidnappings and smashing of car windows and family separation should all be sufficient to make people say that it is all not ok.
