Talked to some National Guard kids from West Virginia on the street near my office. They don't have leave to go home for Thanksgiving this week.
They can't see their families, because the president wants to use them as political props. No doubt, though, there'll be a feast at Mar-a-Lago Thursday.

GOOD FOR HER
The full story is even more infuriating. Hear directly from Heather Asiyanbi, the volunteer who was dismissed for trying to keep MKE Urban Stables’ clients safe:
The Full Story from My Experience with Alleged ICE Agents
Volunteers raised safety concerns, but the executive director’s response is where the focus should be.

For me it’s the “Quiet! Quiet!” — women and femmes are often murdered by being strangled. There is a constant simmering anger at hearing women speak that’s endemic in our culture (cf Margaret Atwood).
I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

Absolutely. So revealing of his baseline level of hypersensitivity and latent violence.
i know “quiet, piggy” is just one raindrop in the flood of vile, shocking statements from trump, but it’s SO cruel, so threatening, such a violation of our most basic interpersonal norms. i would really like to see it get some actual coverage.
"When an off-camera female reporter... began to ask if there was anything 'incriminating' in the Epstein emails, Trump pointed a finger in her face. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy,' he said menacingly."
Tell me again how it's women who are ruining the workplace?

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

Cognition is basically all I do, and it's who I am... I feel like letting a computer do that for me is self-mutilation.

I’m like this but for water aerobics (but not like this in the sense that I’m whatever the opposite of jacked is)
Strength training is political. We have a right-wing which has taken over physical fitness spaces, and hijacked “warrior culture”.
We need a muscular progressivist visions. We need to be strong to build the world we want.
