I really don't think a lot of elected Dems understand how radicalized a lot of people like me are right now. Like the only debates about ICE and DHS I want to hear from my candidates is about who has the better plan to dismantle both and who will prosecute the ICE goons better.

Of US animals I get questions about from Aussies, skunks are in the top 3. They just have no reference point for what the smell is like, and no native animals with similar defense mechanisms. They're -fascinated- by them.
Glacier the skunk is chowing down on an apple in her home at the Cincinnati Zoo.
Until 1993, Glacier would have been in Family Mustelidae with weasels & badgers.
But molecular evidence showed that her ancestors diverged 60 MYA, so she gets her own family: Mephitidae which means, roughly, "stinky."

I will never forget, my freshman year at UIowa, there was a pedestrian tunnel underneath some train tracks, by the student union, and down one side of it was graffitied, “Jim Henson died for your sins” 💚
What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...
Idaho families sue over immigration raid that swept up hundreds, including U.S. citizens — NBC News
About 400 people, including children and U.S. citizens, were detained for four hours while they were denied food and water in the raid, according to the lawsuit.

IDK, an increasingly unpopular leader starts to question his polls, threaten polling organizations, and repeatedly chant that past and future elections that don’t go his way are “rigged” ... and in response, pollsters stop polling … seems problematic.

Since I introduced this pin in the fall of 2021 I've sent out more than 1800 of them, including a few to folks involved in the making of Star Trek. 139 of those have been in the week and a half since I posted this. Thank you so, so much! I hope they help you find your people.
I'm trying to sell more of these pins than they sell tickets for the Melania movie. I think I can do it. Want to help?

Stay in your lane. It doesn’t matter why I’m carrying a drill down the sidewalk. 10 kilos of tortillas is a perfectly reasonable amount for my family. You don’t need to know where all these $100s came from. 🙏💪🤫
New MN state motto: "If you saw something, no you didn't."
How strong is my impulse to not tell on my neighbors is, as we descend deeper into a fascist police state? I just passed a guy eating a snack cake in a grocery store aisle. I just kept walking, didn't alert authorities, didn't negotiate with Tom Homan at all.
