I'm searching for the WTF, nope, nope, NOOO and I'm so sorry GIF.
I hope you're okay. π€π«
Vielleicht mal bei den Kollegen gucken, wie man besser Schlagzeilen schreibt...
This is for our neighbors who are locked inside
None of us are free until all of us are free
Hold on my dear ones
We do this til we free us
Our love for each other will carry us through
Our city is stronger than the fear
Will there still be singing in the dark times
I'm sure there was more...
Yes, like a filter is missing. I also cannot tune out intermittent noise. Like fan/white or brown even some green noise is OK, but if there's something beeping, it drives me crazy. My husband doesn't even hear it. If I point it out, he will, but then can go back to not hearing it. I wish...
I also can't NOT listen to other people's conversations on the bus/train/coffee shop. It's horrible. I'm carrying ear plugs everywhere.
Yes - I can fall asleep to a few audiobooks (Robin Wall Kimmerer has the most soothing voice...) but for most it's a nope and never with TV/movies. I've wondered if it's an ADHD thing.
Well they had us chant "What do you do after you write down the name?" -"SIGN IT! " three times... π It worked.
Does it usually take 4 hrs to seat the alternates? This was my first time and I don't know if stuff would have moved faster had ppl been seated faster, but that seemed reeeaaallly long.
Overall, I was so impressed how the ppl running it kept it together.
This is the crowd BEHIND us and we're about as far back from the Capitol as you just a bit more centered.
The family of one of the pilots is French speaking so you'd think Air Canada could have made the effort when extending condolences?
Hmh... Looking back I see that's true. I find/found that lens very helpful, something I wasn't getting in that way from other sources, maybe that is why it stuck out in my mind. It honestly may just be a me problem of having limited capacity atm. I still listen.
Gibt es die Texte schon auf Deutsch? Ich kenne eine Reihe politisch interessierter Leute (eher Γ€lteres Semester), fΓΌr die so lange englische Artikel zu anstrengend sind. Aber zahlen Deutsche fΓΌr Newsletter? Scheint mir bisher eher in US PhΓ€nomen.
I found them helpful a year ago to better understand what we're up against. Now I'd be most interested in How Progress Happens in American History.
I am a paid member but I don't know if I'd sign up for this newsletter right now. I and many of my politically interested/active friends feel like we're in the trenches. Not sure if it's MN specific or US generally. My head space for deep dive historical how did we get here pieces is limited.
What's Unc Superblock?
Ha, wusste nicht, dass zusΓ€tzlich zu was da sonst noch Abstruses von den Anthroposophen kommt, sie auch noch die Klimakatastrophe leugnen. Bin seit ΓΌber 20 Jahren nicht mehr in Europa. Statt einfach zu kommentieren, wenn was durch meinen Feed kommt, werde ich mal die anderen Beitrage lesen... π€ͺπ
FΓΌr mich ist wichtig wie etwas produziert wurde, nicht nur ob es am Ende besser fΓΌr diesen Zellhaufen ist. Ich sehe mich als Teil eines Ganzen fΓΌr das ich auch Sorge tragen muss.
That immigration judge generally seems to think that asylum doesn't really exist. He's denied 96% of cases, much higher than the national average.

How long is it going to be? If you register, will there be a recording of it made available after? (It's dinner time for the kids so trying to figure out how to make this work....)
I am sharing it far and wide.
Where can people see the love notes that are coming in? People are feeling so shattered from the whiplash from Friday to Saturday.
That just made me cry.
Yes, thank you for doing that. If there's one thing I've really learned over the past weeks, it's that there are many, many, many different ways to help and make a difference. We can just pick one and others will pick other and collectively we become powerful.
Thank you for heading the call. We are grateful.
For people who want to help us, here is a great article of how you can do that. Please share widely.

conditions. Once ICE realizes they have no reason to keep them as they are legally allowed to work, many have been released, traumatised and without a way home. All of this while Delta and other corporations remain silent about these attacks on our neighbors and the rights of all Minnesotans.
Local 17 members, who have gone through extensive background checks to be able to work at the airport, have been abducted behind TSA security while heading to work. Many of these workers are then flown out from the airport they work at, to spend days in detention centers in the south with deplorable
