The snow is coming down hard. Up to 7 inches expected. It's 12° in Detroit but feels like 0°. 🥶

31 short to stay sheltered due at noon. Important details in my pinned post. Please amplify if you don't mind. It's literally - 5° outside and more snow on the way. Thinking about the woman who was found frozen behind a dumpster. Thinking about so many.

Zay is located in the north, where the storm is expected to hit quite hard. They've suffered chronic ill health and homelessness - anything will help build ahead of the bad weather

This Michigan polar vortex is not playing. We got a lot of snow and more on the way. It's literally between 6° and 8° right now, but it feels way less. Detroit temps are freezing. PS, send all that mess to the face below and abolish ICE!

The only time Amerikkka has issues with guns is when Black, Indigenous, and POC use them because all they see are dangerous men, thugs, and criminals, and they have always treated BI and POC boys as grown men, especially Black boys.

The DoJ refuses to investigate the killing of Renee Good… but they’ve launched an investigation into an anti-ICE protest at a church in Minnesota
If you’re ICE you can kill someone and get away with it
If you protest the lawless murder of a US citizen, you’ll feel the full weight of the government

The Legacy Museum, which is “perhaps the closest thing America has to a national slavery museum,” is free from government control and displays the “history that the Trump administration aims to de-emphasize—if not outright erase,” @clintsmithiii.bsky.social argues.
The Power of Private Museums
The Equal Justice Initiative’s historical sites in Montgomery, Alabama, show what’s possible when history isn’t subject to federal funding cuts or executive orders.

If you're one of the 188 Republicans and 153 Democrats who voted last week to send $3.3B more in military and bombs to Netanyahu as he commits genocide, do not be quoting Dr. MLK this week, who specifically condemned the triple evils of racism, poverty, and militarism.

You just voted for $3.3B more to Netanyahu as he commits genocide on Palestinians and you oppose HR 40 which studies reparations for Black people.
You are the 'white moderate' that Dr. King condemned as worse than the KKK.
