Crying today over this reporting about the network of neighbors it took to get pads to a 12 yo girl who got her first period in hiding in Minneapolis www.npr.org/2026/01/21/n...
How an errand for a 12-year-old immigrant in Minneapolis became an underground operation
Some immigrants in Minneapolis have said they're scared to go out because of ICE agents across the city. When one 12-year-old needed to run an errand, it triggered a network of underground volunteers.

Wish this song wasn't necessary. But, man, Bruce still has it.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

We have be there for each other to catch the camera. If the baton keeps being passed we will record the rights violations and justice is inevitable.
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis.

Every now and then my husband will remind me that he saved me from marrying some vegetarian hippie type of guy. "You'd be miserable." He's actually right.

I have not completely boycotted Target or Amazon. But, I make 80 percent less purchases over last 9 months. Once you stop the constant stream of packages or mindless Saturday trips, you don't miss it.

This absolutely chimes with what I see in clinical practice. Gender incongruence is sufficiently common in young people with #FND that we should be screening for it, and the same with neurodivergence.
