I briefly thought I should decorate my house, then I realized if I did, e.g., with your scarecrow, I would startle myself every time I came home. Or looked outside.

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."
They Came for Our Neighbors. We Showed Up.
Before long, there were dozens, and then hundreds of people in the streets, watching and responding.

One of the key ways you refuse to comply with fascism is by becoming even louder and more fearless in supporting vulnerable people. You SHOW that you are unwilling to throw the "undesirables" under the bus if only for self-preservation because under fascism you will also become undesirable one day.

The ACIP vote was tied 6-6 for requiring everyone to get a prescription for the COVID19 vaccine.

The chair broke the tie by voting NO.

Prescriptions will NOT be required.

I moved into a new apartment. First night, no furniture or belongings, just sleeping bags and suitcases. Black cat goes missing. Couldn't figure out where he could be hiding, b/c no place to hide. Finally find him by shining a flashlight up the fireplace to see his eyes reflected back.
