Regarding the Discourse, lemme just say that if you can't draw, yes you can.
Everyone can draw, and folks will almost certainly respond more positively to your stick figures than some generic "A.i." slop.

Liam has been on my mind constantly the past 2 weeks. This picture was seared into my brain; it is evidence of the total lack of humanity within this administration.

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.

The immigration process costs thousands upon thousands of dollars and can be rolled back to square one for any reason at any time
I'm really tired of seeing all these dem politicians saying "well we all want secure borders, but-" in all these fucking pressers. I don't really give a shit how good my neighbors are at doing paperwork. I don't think people who say "come here the right way" understand that they themselves couldn't.

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

As we grieve for Alex Pretti and Renee Good in MN, please do not forget Victor Manuel Diaz, who died in ICE custody after being taken from here. And all others who have died in their custody.
36-year-old Nicaraguan national Victor Manuel Diaz died in ICE custody on Jan. 14 at Camp East Montana in El Paso.
The Texas Nicaraguan Community on FB reports that his mom last heard from him on Jan. 6, when he told her he was planning to go to Minneapolis to start work in a restaurant. 1/3

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

Here’s my useless senator, Maria Cantwell. I’ve stopped calling her office b/c she’s a brick wall of pure nothing and I want my actions to mean something. We have way too long to find a candidate to primary her and throw her ass out. Putting some screenshots from her website this morning in replies.
The new Clark College Advanced Manufacturing Center in Ridgefield is open!
With over $3 million in federal support, the Center will provide more opportunities for Southwest Washington residents to gain the skills they need to land good-paying jobs.
