CHICAGO - REPORTING ICE

Let's keep printing, folding, & distributing @meganpiont.bsky.social's zine: How to Report ICE

Trump says undocumented immigrants do farm work "naturally" because "they don't get a bad back."

Mississippi's Declaration of Secession similarly said slavery must be protected because "by an impervious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun."

Majestic! Your mother’s talent is a national treasure!

Hollering “If you want the rewards of being loved you have to submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known!!!!!!” at my surly tween as she crosses the street to school

Photo of a cluster fuck of these infernal scooters abandoned by lobotomized dipshits when they were raptured. The morning sun hits the sparkling evidence of people who were not raised to be mindful of the needs of others. We live in a society, bro.

See, I take a more measured approach.

In Ames, IA folks were convinced that the next stop for terrorists was the National Animal Disease Center. But we owned the terrorists so hard that we just stopped believing that infectious diseases exist.

Whenever Germans mistakenly think they hear German phrases in English lyrics, they’re sometimes referred to as “Agatha Bauer” songs. This comes from the 90s hit The Power by Snap!
