And it is offensive.

All of it is offensive. The so-called "leadership's" complete and utter refusal to engage with this existential crisis, this overt Klan-and-Nazi fascism, this promulgation of multiple real-time genocides?

But CHILDREN are protecting each other? Because the adults WON'T?
Figured out why Vp Harris’ platform launch is so offensive to me right now.

Nothing to do with her … it’s the kids

They made a platform about a meme joke…

The kids are fighting grown men in the streets, and getting picked to be deported from class

They need a news outlet that respects that

I feel like I'm living in a different reality from a lot of folks. Actual fucking kids are being terrorized all over the place. I need media and politicians to DIRECTLY address this. Consistently.

We watched a teenager have to put a man in a rear naked choke hold to stop him beating on a classmate

And folks are debating whether or not 40 year olds hollering at teens is predatory

The kids are under siege

Now, tonight's local urgent needs.

Just one, but very time-sensitive, and way behind where it needs to be.

Janice's little boy, Niko, is 3. He has cerebral palsy, and is classed as medically fragile. He needs urgent kidney surgery. They have to go to specialists in Colorado.

Okay, tonight's inventory selections.

Today's #TBT feature is a "puffy heart" necklace from some 16 years ago [shown below], set with onyx.

We have a pair of loop earrings strung with onyx and jet that would've matched it beautifully.

It's #TBT at The NDN Silver Blog, with a #ThrowbackThursday work that dates back almost sixteen full years, to early March of 2010, and a design suitable for the previous month's dedication to lovers: wingssilverwork.com/tbt-the-simp....

Well, Big Lots has long been ICE collaborators and symps, profiteering from contracts for years now, so selling them the warehouse is just the next obvious step.
The banality of evil is shocking. An ex-Big Lots warehouse for cheap consumer junk is bought by ICE to ship as many as 7,500 handcuffed human beings, as the Trump regime builds a U.S. gulag archipelago

The unthinkable comes to Pa. coal country. My special report www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

Folks who help with our local mutual-aid needs:

Back in December, somebody bought items off a member's wishlist that included a pair of women's UGG boots. Those have STILL not been delivered, and Amazon won't give the recipient any tracking info.

If you were the buyer, can you check?

Just one, and it's VERY time-sensitive.

Little Niko's surgery is Feb, 26th. Out of state. He's medically fragile, meaning 4-6 weeks IN-PATIENT recovery. This is getting no traction. PLEASE HELP: spot.fund/k7g9nj4sc.

Now, tonight's inventory selection. Just one.

Today's feature is an extraordinary necklace in the form and shape of Butterfly [shown below], set with Raosarita and natural blue American turquoise.

We have a pair of turquoise earrings that evoke Butterfly in their own way.

I live here....the cops are attacking and brutalizing us alongside ICE. They have done absolutely nothing to combat ICE, they are protecting them. The hostility isn't about care for the people. It's an ego thing/wanting to be the top authority. They are on the same side.

NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program.

This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE.

Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

Abigail Spanberger left the 287(g) program, which empowered state law enforcement to detain immigrants. Will Democrats also bar local police and sheriffs from the program?

All right, things have gone beyond grim at this point.

Five weeks into 2026, and only 2 sales. We wouldn't make it at that rate in a good year. This is already not a good year.

And it comes on top of two extraordinarily bad years for us.

Add to that? Things are grim for everyone here.

You don’t need to be, say, patrolling for ICE or personally delivering groceries yourself, but I shouldn’t have to wonder if you’re even interacting with regular people who are doing those things. Your words and actions make it clear that you’re not really one of us.

I have been fairly critical of some elected officials during all of this bullshit, but the biggest difference between them is the good ones have seen the shit we’re dealing with firsthand and know what regular people are doing on the ground. A lot of them can’t even speak to what we’re all doing.
