People can, indeed, be fun loving people and still protest.

In fact! I would say that those among us who have & encourage others to have fun whilst protesting are going to be the salvation of us all 😊

ILU, Portland! ❤️

Outside of Portland's ICE facility last night, Kenny from South Park got married to a unicorn.

The betrothed Portland couple said they decided to get hitched on site to bring some joy and fun to a dark time.

Well that facility (afaik) was emptied when those pilots went home, so it may in fact be the same facility.

Sidebar!
#NoKings in June was one of the two biggest single-day protests in US history (the other one was the Women's March).

This one...has to be bigger! Which we can do!

If you *can't* go, can you
-share information?
-make signs/dinner for protesters?
-etc?

Gang, re: a Qatari presence in Idaho, may I recommend that you watch this from V Spehar/Under the Desk News + the one I linked immediately following it.

tl;dr
No, Qatar is not building a base in Idaho.

Emily L. Hauser (she/her) ❌👑 @emilylhauser.bsky.social · 1h

A facility isn't a base - if I understand correctly, there was an agreement that Qatari pilots would come here for training on planes they're getting from us; a facility will be built to house them and their families while they're here for that training.

My wife is collecting signatures for a sweet ballot measure in Michigan that would tax income over $1,000,000 to reduce class sizes while recruiting and retaining great teachers.

But they're way behind.

So she was tasked with bringing in someone who could help gather signatures.

Could it be you?

May we rage when we must and rest when we can.
May we build the peace we so desperately need.
May we turn our hands, in all things, to the justice that peace requires.

The only liberation is a shared liberation. May we have courage sufficient to build it.

Shabbat Shalom ❤️

I was on the ground today in Broadview with Senator Durbin to conduct Congressional oversight on ICE’s processing facility.  As elected officials, we have a duty to ensure transparency within federal facilities. What is ICE hiding? Kristi Noem, what are you hiding?

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."
