Memphis is under a federal task force occupation that includes DEA, CBP, ICE, National Guard, state troopers, and (I’m not joking) IRS agents (IRS jackets kidnapping people). No national news.
ICE and CBP haven’t withdrawn from a single fucking U.S. city that they’ve occupied.

For Valentine, the “sanctity of marriage” included slaves and poor citizens, when Rome only acknowledged legal marriage for those who owned property.
So Valentine performed marriages for those deemed “not eligible for marriage”.
I remember getting my wedding license revoked for doing the same.

👉 On this day dedicated to Saint Valentine, we remember a man who, according to Christian tradition, stood for the sanctity of marriage even under imperial pressure. Today, as we discuss dating and marriage, we reflect on what it means to honor love with courage...

Hey definitely call your senators about this. Like seriously.
BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote.
The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

it’s weird, to run this website and have a very distinct marker for how much people care about what’s happening in Minnesota
it feels especially not great to look at as eviction notices start to get served for families are still locked down hiding from ICE, who are still roving the streets
