You are willing to accept an America with concentration camps and ethnic cleansing or you are not. It's where we are now. There's no both-sidesing it.

This is absolutely true. There’s a massive infrastructure here, tens of thousands of quiet heroes. A thousand Alex Prettis patrolling every day, sometimes without incident, all knowing that at any moment something horrible could happen. Countless neighbors feeding their neighbors
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.

if the state’s going to kill me at any time, you better bet I’m going to live as loudly, as queer, as progressively and radically as I possibly can. It’s a mantra I repeat to myself all the time now, that I didn’t until ICE invaded Minneapolis and killed Renee Good.

school being canceled because the president sent armed thugs to harass and imprison the populace for voting against him should be the biggest domestic scandal in american history

Defaulting to surgical masks in health care settings in 2025 is one of the most dissapointing examples of reluctance to change despite overwhelming evidence.

Even defaulting to KN95 style would significantly increase protection of the most vulnerable.

Infuriating inertia in the HC industry.

I was today years old when I learned criterion -not criterium - is singular for criteria. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hasan Piker was detained by ICE and chose to talk to cops instead of shutting the fuck up.

Do not be like Hasan Piker. Be way smarter.

Never. Talk. To. Cops.

DEI departments and groups name-changing to “belonging.” What happens when we run out of words?

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him.

He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons.

He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him.

He’s defying the Supreme Court.

Don’t you see what’s happening here?

I love this so much. Thank you, thank you.

I feel this. The comments, lol.
Sure thing, Sharepoint. I want to open Excel in my browser. Why not. I want to open my powerpoint slides in minesweeper. I don't care anymore. I want to open a can of coke in a thirty foot concrete cube. Fuck it.
