A man coughed in my face today. There are essentially no COVID precautions left. “You do you” has replaced public health. They got what they wanted, and it’s still not enough. The anti-mask weirdos also need to harass you in public.
The partial reopening of Gaza’s southern Rafah crossing with Egypt has been marked by chaos and severe restrictions imposed by Israel.

NEW: ICE has a plan to lease offices across the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign.
Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship.

Hand warmers, coffee, food. this is what travel baseball moms hand out to kids and parents during early morning games. Shit they had laying around or someone drove to the Walmart 10 minutes aways and dropped $30. “BANKROLLING”.

Ravelry’s Hot Right Now feed shows three patterns for red knit or crochet “Melt the ICE” hats with tassels
A Ravelry page for Liam’s Bunny Hat, a blue crochet hat with floppy white bunny ears, a bunny face, and strings with paw bobbles, in the style of the hat worn by 5yo Liam when he was taken by ICE agents in Minnesota

If you are talking about training today, you are a mark.
