Your periodic reminder that one way to think about privilege is: who's allowed to make mistakes?

Listen to Secretary Pete. And remember, these are our funds. These are our courts. And these are our streets.

Why does Gellert Grindelwald in the later FB series movies/Harry Potter look like Elon Musk?

Did you know the library has more than books?

Of course you did. You're smart. You use the library.

One of the many concerning things about the Guantanamo situation to me is within being an island, any rescue attempts seem like they'd be immensely challenging.

"Ah yes, well, it seems that we can't get past to save democracy. Better luck next time. Let's go get a sandwich, Bob."

It didn't let me delete 😤 It just had me deactivate.

Grr! I guess I'll try again to do the same!

So...I deactivated my Twitter account like a month ago and got a few emails today saying there was a login attempt and a new login from a rando iPhone (I use any Android).

I changed the password, but why is my account back online?? What is happening?

Call them what they are. Concentration camps. Don’t normalize, minimize, or sane wash the language. Language matters now, more than ever.

It's almost like we do need government services...

Infectious Disease Roundup: 2/2/2025.

Probable human case of H5N1 in Delaware. Egg prices high forever? More deadly, highly contageous Clade Ib MPOX continues to spread (14% pediatric patients in recent outbreak), and more fun topics.

What are some low-stress summer jobs that you recommend for adults?

Costco Increases Pay to Over $30 an Hour for Most Store Workers Costco Wholesale Corp. is raising pay for most of its hourly US workers to more than $30 an hour amid contract talks with unionized employees.

It’s right on the tip of my tongue. It’s hard to not see it.

I’m working on a list of Dem parties at the local level and let me tell you - if you’re not in a city in a deep blue state, you and a couple friends can basically run your local county’s Dem party. Tons of positions are vacant or inactive. So much potential for young people to build new leadership

How...how big is this going to be? Is this expected to cover the entire US? What about Hawaii and Alaska? Sounds about as well thought out as the wall...

Maybe Colombia can stamp a "Return to Sender: There is no one here by that name" to the U.F.A. (intentional typo)

Maybe we're secretly having a trade war with Columbia, IL or Columbia, MO? 😅😅🤣

Colombia has accepted hundreds of deportation flights in the past years. It rejected two flights using military planes, but agreed to continue taking flights using normal ICE planes.

In response, the Trump administration has done the equivalent of punching them in the face.

Nooo!!

The fuckers want you broken… Don’t let them. Rest when you need to and don’t forget to drink your water and wash your hands.

On Mescalero Apache Tribe letterhead: MESCALERO Apache Tribe P.O. Box 227 108 Central Avenue Mescalero, New Mexico 88340 TRIBE Office: (575) 464-4494 Fax: (575) 464-9220 STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT THORA WALSH-PADILLA ON IMMIGRATION INCIDENT INVOLVING A TRIBAL MEMBER As of 3:45 PM this afternoon, the Tribe verified only a single incident where an ICE January 23, 2025 Mescalero, NM Last night and throughout the day today, I received multiple calls from concerned Mescalero Apache Tribal Members in relation to rumors of incidents involving Tribal Members and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. agent questioned a Tribal Member in a public place in Ruidoso. This incident occurred yesterday. ICE agents began questioning a family standing in line in front of the Tribal member. The family was escorted outside. Then, an ICE agent still inside the public place approached the Tribal Member in Spanish. The Tribal Member responded by stating the Tribal Member spoke English. The ICE agent asked the Tribal Member for a passport. The Tribal Member presented a picture of a New Mexico Driver's License and a Tribal identification card. The ICE agent did not continue questions at this point and exited. While this is the only incident we have been able to verify. Tribal leadership is actively working with the New Mexico Congressional Delegation to ensure that the rights of Tribal Members are protected. To be safe, be aware of your surroundings, let family members/friends know where you are, and keep identification with you at all times. If possible, then carry multiple forms of identification (driver's license, state-issued identification card, Tribal identification card, Certificate of Indian Blood, etc.). Thora Walsh-Padilla President

ICE is trying to deport Native American people to Mexico. This one from the Mescalero Apache Tribe.

That's right. People indigenous to the United States, tribal members. ICE is trying to remove them from the US.

This is the second verified incident I've heard about.

We were here 1st.
