What sticks out for me is the year for Thanksgiving that my MIL swapped the sugar in her pecan pie for salt. 😵‍💫

In connection with my last post -
If you are trans and live in Kansas, reach out to me. I have a network of people that are willing and able to provide you with safety in Michigan.

We deserve to live. We are beautiful in and because of our transness. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

You won’t see this reported in any “mainstream” news outlets because we are everyone’s scapegoat.

JD Vance loudly booed at the Winter Olympics today.

“Magic: The Gathering” Gathers for Trans Lives, Raises $450,000 in Less Than Two Days “Magic is political.”

Something incredible is happening in the Magic: The Gathering community.

The prolific MTG Youtube channel Tolarian Community College has raised $450,000 and growing for Trans Lifeline.

Decatur High School walkout students receiving detentions According to letters sent by Decatur High School’s administration on Feb. 2, students who participated in the Jan. 30 student walkout protest against ICE are facing a detention.

Remember kids, schools will close often and classes interrupted due to our refusal to address climate change and gun violence, manage immigration sanely and humanly, and fund schools adequately.

But if you lose instructional minutes to protest the new police state, we'll rev up the old one!

Democrats in congress - WE THE PEOPLE don’t want reform, we want to ABOLISH ICE!!!

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Greg Bovino getting pulled out of Minnesota to terrorize another community is not accountability. At all.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities.

Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

Reminder: ICE’s budget has not been renewed — the House voted, but not the Senate — It will take 10 Democratic votes to stop it

Pressure your senators

#eyesnotlies #abolishice

Don’t find ICE until those investigations happen.
Actually … DEFUND ICE AND GET THEM OUT OF OUR CITIES! #ABOLISHICE

I am urging @slotkin.senate.gov and @peters.senate.gov as one of your constituents, VOTE NO on all bills that would give funding to ICE or DHS.
Abolish ICE!! They are destroying humanity, lives, and decency. There is no “but” in this situation. NOTHING ELSE IS WORTH THE LIVES ICE IS DESTROYING!

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

CNN put together a clip of JD Vance claiming ICE agents have "absolute immunity" followed by him two weeks later claiming "I didn't say that officers who engage in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity"

A few other quick shots from the protest:

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

I’ve talked with people on the ground, I’ve marched and walked and sang. I’ve cried, prayed, cheered, and felt fierce.
I want to be clear: There are no riots here. Thousands of us gathered from MANY faiths pouring out love to show that we believe all humans are sacred and beloved. #ICEOUT

Arrests calmly ongoing.

This is going to take a while. There are a lot of clergy risking arrest.

I know the Christian Nationalists take up a lot of oxygen in the religion/politics sphere but I've never seen anything like the faith group mobilization going on in Minneapolis. Houses of worship have decades of infrastructure and they're organizing to protect immigrants in the Twin Cities.

Singing

As clergy pray, arrests begin

I will just keep repeating. I have never never never seen anything like this. 30 years of reporting.
