Senate switchboard: (202) 224-3121. Call and leave a message. Then call again on Monday and talk to someone directly.
We are calling our senators right now and demanding that they vote no on the omnibus with DHS funding
We are explicitly mentioning ICE’s murder in cold blood of a man on the streets of Minneapolis this morning

Habituating yourself to graphic depictions of horror may FEEL like moral practice.
It is not.
Moral speech and action is the moral practice.

Gentle (and likely unnecessary) reminder for friends experiencing freezing temps outside:
Please bang on the hood of your car or blow the horn before you start it up the next few days if you go somewhere. You could save the life of anything sheltering up in the engine.

Its honestly heart warming to see the people of Minneapolis stand together, using the tactics perfected in LA, Chicago and New York and showing the rest of the country that yes, you can do more than sit idly by.

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.
yeah, just out of interest, how many people choose the pen on the right for real work or art? See a lot of them in professional workplaces, do you?

Obie the feral kitty was hanging out in his heated house on the back porch this morning, came out to get his breakfast, and went right back in. Stay warm, fuzzy lil buddy.

In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies.

I have been told that this undercover ICE agent tried to get observers to scan a QR code “for his website”. The QR code did not resolve to a link.
DO NOT SCAN UNKNOWN QR CODES FROM STRANGERS.
This is a massive security risk! Bad things can happen to you if you do it!
Stay frosty, friends.

Every day some story breaks me some. Today it’s the guy who approached parents at a school patrol, told them he was with Indivisible, and asked about how the patrol system works. The parents gave vague answers, followed him back to his car — and of course it was ICE.

I am home, the (indoor and feral) kitties have been fed, and now it is time to "accidental" couch nap in my burrito blanket after an extremely good weekend. 💚⚔️

One out of 12 rams is uninterested in females. Deemed “non-procreative" by farmers, they're typically sent to slaughter. German farmer Michael Stücke rescues the gay rams. His company Rainbow Wool, sells fabulous wool products from his flock of gay sheep. rainbow-wool.com
