If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin Unto his nest again,

Pals it looks like there has been another beating & shooting of a citizen by ICE in Minneapolis. Video is popping up on our timelines. Be careful scrolling or turn off auto play if you don't want to see this. It is horrific. Love you all 🩷

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

I'm not going to watch or repost the video. We know a federal agent killed another Minnesotan.

Do not traumatize yourself.

Truth. We are getting there, mass resistance, mass peaceful protests, mass support and compassion for each other.
Every major step toward justice in this country was won through collective action.

Our union exists to organize working people, because solidarity is our strength! #ICEOUT

How to know you’ve been married for a while. Hubs made a suggestion, my back was to him, I made the slightest noise and posture shift. He says, “Don’t roll your eyes!” He’s never commented that😳 I think we just had an argument😂😂😂. It’s all good now though; we exist to soothe each other.

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice."

Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.

I do think parents should absolutely have the right to choose not to vaccinate their kids.

I also think schools, sports teams, and other clubs or activities should absolutely have the right to exclude those who don’t want to participate in keeping these communities safe by getting vaccinated.

Today I learned “Norwegian Christian laws forbade citizens from conversing with and interacting with trolls, and in documents dating from 1274 to 1781, doing so would result in severe punishment” (source: Wikipedia), and I kinda think many people nowadays would be better off if this law was revived

What an interesting writing/editing exercise. 🤓 The Offing has an open call for stories that are between 10-560 *characters* long, including spaces. 🤣

I've just compressed my last remaining drabble, taking it down to 554 characters. 🙃 Toes and fingers crossed!

Please stay warm and safe! Our power company already put warnings out too. We saw the trucks that were pre-treating the roads here today while I was at school which is a very rare level of foresight and therefore sort of a concerning activity. 😅
