"you might stumble over a whole collective of people resisting in ways you didn't think of. There's a crew of carpenters just going around fixing kicked-in doors. There are tow truck drivers taking cars of detained people away for free...."

From a Comrade 19h. C One of the nuts things about organizing in the Twin Cities right now is that even the most long term organizers who've been here for decades can't keep track of all the resistance that is going on. There are so many self-organized crews just doing work that in any conversation with someone from another neighborhood you might stumble over a whole collective of people resisting in ways you didn't think of. There's a crew of carpenters just going around fixing kicked-in doors. There are tow truck drivers taking cars of detained people away for free. People delivering food to families in hiding. So many local rapid response groups that the number is uncertain but somewhere between 80 and the low hundreds- especially when one considers that several immigrant communities have their own non-English rapid response networks usually uncounted in the main English-language directories. People standing watch outside daycares and schools. This whole resistance has so many poles of initiative and leadership, so many layers of self-organization, that it's extraordinarily difficult for the state to repress or for opportunists be they Democrats or movement-riding parties) to co-opt and control. Of course, that's built up through many years and decades of organization, and not only through explicitiv political campaigns or formations built during times of crisis and rupture like 2020. It is also built through day-to-day mutual aid, culture building, workplace and tenant organizing, and simple, basic relationship building among neighbors and coworkers here. From a Comrade 19h.

At the Grand Canyon, a display discussing the forced removal of Native American communities was taken down. In Glacier National Park, materials explaining the role of climate change in shrinking glaciers were also removed.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

They’re taking kids from Minnesota and sending them to detention camps. They’re shooting American citizens in the street and locking investigators out of the crime scenes. The world is watching what happens next.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

“Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear."

Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

One of the details I liked about this game was the "Run From Battle" minigame. Instead of success being completely random, you've got to solve a maze whose difficulty is determined by how strong the enemies are (compared to you).

Back in 2018, I was working on an RPG inspired by the Paper Mario series. I don't think I'll end up finishing this game, but I figured I could share the demo that I had put together anyway. #gamedev

i don't think we should gatekeep the enormous 28 pound bunny that works as a service animal at giants games sometimes. i think we should share news of the 28 pound bunny with the wider internet
man at baseball game holding the biggest fucking bunny rabbit you've ever seen in your life. and he's wearing a hat same bunny, now tossed over the man's shoulder. the bunny is the size of an overnight bag said bunny in his carrier, which is palanquin sized the bunny wearing his service vest, legs floofed out on the floor. It's hard to tell from the scale of the picture but he's so fucking big
