Feels worth pointing out that the entire reason Trump put the national guard into cities was bc they were hoping something violent would happen to some of them.

Again, turkeys are 70-80% off from today onwards and last a year in the freezer.
If you’ve got a chest freezer in the garage that’s good soup, stew, and smoker meat for the whole winter for a really good price.

it reminds me a lot of the major label side of the music industry tbh. I mean, obv not as impactful in terms of damage done to the world but in terms of the sheer amorality.
yep. also really can't overstate how much nuzzi is very much the product of an environment that rewards amoral ambition and frowns on people who sincerely believe anything

nuzzi / lizza misconduct imo enabled the destruction of so much public health & scientific research — and a resurgence in measles in the US. this is not petty tabloid gossip or inside baseball. that they went undetected or were rewarded while great reporters were laid off? it’s a huge system failure

Aw, my Grandma Hartl's favorite, she loved their Louie salad. When she lived in Camas in the 60's they'd often go their for a fancy dinner occasion. I wish I could go and support them!

For the past six weeks or so I've been volunteering over at @unbreaking.org, helping out with their immigration timeline. It is, as you might suspect, heavy work but it is made lighter by the fantastic community of very thoughtful individuals working on sensemaking in a time that doesn't make sense
In our final Immigration briefing before the holiday, we took a step back to look at what the Trump administration’s crackdown has been doing to our communities and what our communities are doing in response:

This is what I spent most of last week working on with other people who cannot leave this stuff alone. Gotta put the facts in order in a stable place and then see what meaning emerges.
The fight against authoritarianism has many fronts. At Unbreaking, we choose to work against information overload and for collective understanding. On our Immigration timeline, we track major and representative events from across the US—now filterable by legal case:
