Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Maine--also under an ICE surge--has an undocumented population of about 5,000 people & the nation's lowest rate of violent crime. Because they can't find "the worst of the worst," they're primarily detaining people w/ legal status & no criminal record. This isn't about immigration.

We are saying goodbye to my beloved Aunty today. She passed away last week after almost 20yrs with Parkinson’s and then Dementia. She was so kind and clever, and she will be missed dearly. I can’t make it to the funeral in person so I’ll be ‘attending’ the livestream, which feels a bit surreal.

We really should have word for a device designed to explode.
A white guy threw a homemade bomb into a crowd protesting colonialism in Australia and the media have broadly reframed it in more gentle terms, eg this describing it as a "device" that was 'designed to explode'.

This should have all Australians up in arms. Even with 'updated definitions' of terrorism, the term is almost never applied to white violence. Which is bizarre considering White Australians were, and still are, the first 'terrorists' of this land.
can’t see federal Labor politicians dressed in the colours of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags to express their solidarity and collective outrage at this terrifying attack at a First Nations event.

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...
Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.
