i had the misfortune of seeing a child dressed as a swat team member for halloween, in chicago. this was at a slightly fancy restaurant. to say the parents lack ability to read the room is an understatement.

and as an adult, one learns that the nattily dressed demon with no face that has them perform useless tasks is actually the worst....

“We are building new infrastructure, creating warning systems to reduce abductions, sharing resources to support families with missing loved ones, and turning toward each other in ways I have not yet experienced,”

There have been reports of DHS sources saying they plan to deploy four times as many agents here in March. Whether that's accurate or not, I think we all knew that if they opted out of the deep winter in Chicago, they'd be back after the thaw. We need to synthesize what we've learned and prepare.

they can claim that the person took these during pregnancy and harmed the baby. impossible to prove that this is not the case if this outcome is what is desired.

it's also ... if you say that these are bad for pregnant women, if a child at birth has any kind of unusual condition - or nothing at all - they can charge the pregnant person with a crime that removes their liberty, removes the child from their household and takes away the persons ability to vote.

Anyway, it's fine. I don't actually believe there is a both sides to snatching tamale ladies off the streets, that's just my one weird thing.

states are funding their own stuff individually is why. guess which states!!!!

😭😭😭😭😭

much of the course of my entire life was shaped by the 2008 real estate crash starting in actually like 2002. i took those lessons *to heart* because i am fully aware that i cannot make that kind of mistake even within a system that encourages it and be even close to okay financially, ever. just wow

yeah i guess never been happier that my condo association doesn't take fannie or freddie because good golly miss molly holy yikes wow really say it ain't (gonna be) so 🤨

(i am aware that full is better but YES HA HA HA YES)

Wisconsin State Senator confirms SNAP recipients in the state have received their November benefits.

(btw don't take any offense if I delete this later today as this is a very public post on a very public social media site and...yeah 😉)

imho it doesn't even matter if you are not in chicago, even those these whistles have the ICIRR number on them. wherever you happen to be, the more people know about this protocol EVERYWHERE, the safer we will *all* be (and they specifically say they're open to receiving requests from elsewhere).

how about this for something more to do - www.reddit.com/r/LoganSquar... ? if doing so won't get ya pip'd, running off some zines at work (they look great in color especially - mltshp.com/p/1RBLR) and packing them with whistles to give out is a great time, as opposed to money, investment.

...she has a chance to actually make this her jimmy carter era, as in doing more after holding a relatively high office that is universally approved of than she did during holding said office. it's only been about two weeks of this project but it sounds like she's got this.
