The fact that this entire street is gaslighting Elmo into thinking Rocco is more than a rock is very real. I'm still not over his Zoey wouldn't give Elmo an oatmeal cookie because Rocco wanted it

One day the dark thought will win and Elmo will chuck Rocco into the Hudson River.

I mean...

I've probably watched more Sesame Street in the last year than I have since the kids were little. That's about 25 years ago for those of you keeping track at home lol

Today on Sesame Street's FB page (I know. I know lol), Elmo had to look after Rocco. I cannot recommend it enough.

(I couldn't find it on YT 🤷‍♀️)

"The number of downloads...surged by 529% after Mr. Mamdani’s news conference"

"there had been 3,000 people on a waiting list to access a limited number of e-book copies"

"2,000 people applied for a library card over the weekend, roughly twice as many as had applied by this time last year"

A win!

That may be the most Manitoba thing I've ever seen. Only thing that might make it moreso is taking it to a potluck social 😂🖤

Here's a pretty clear voice. Can we get him to do Cameos for MPs?

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Mutual Aid by Dean Spade is free on Libro for the next week (until 2/2). 

We know that books can't fix everything, but they can help us show up for and strengthen our communities. Our employee book club read this last year, leading to a great discussion. We hope that it helps others do the same 💗 ⏬

I have underestimated how much teaching and working with undergrads is like raising teenagers.

So glad this isn't my first venture into that world 😂😂

I do think it’s telling that many, many TikTok users are far more concerned about the U.S. government potentially having access to their data and control over their feed than the Chinese government.

I also frankly wonder what the Democrat politicians who voted for the ban think of this outcome.

With all due respect, fuck your feelings.

People should be witness to it.

They should see it. They should be disturbed. Everyone in every country where that sort of thing is happening.

Because if they don't, it will continue to rise to power. And then, it won't just be on their phones.

Minneapolis, MN -

Many many more agents filing into the area around the hotel. Minneapolis PD announcing everyone is under arrest, telling them to sit down with their hands up. An ad hoc journalist squad being told to go further down the street. Chemicals irritant deployed in the road.

They might be proud of it now. But eventually, they'll have to answer for it.

They'll need to look their grandchildren in the eyes and explain why they did what they did or didn't do what they could have done.

"Every time you make a choice, make sure you can look at yourself in the mirror after."

That won't be an option for today's fascists. They won't be able to just burn or bury the evidence.

The Internet is forever. The hats, bumper stickers, etc. It's a whole personality. Future generations will see it all.

Even after this generation is gone.

Much of their fear was understandable. Nazis did the same thing. Simply left behind or destroyed the evidence of what they'd done and started a new life as if nothing happened.

Years later, their grandkids would find something while cleaning out their house after they died, but it was rare.

They'd gotten rid of anything that might suggest where they were from or what had happened. And they never spoke of it. Most of it is still a mystery.

I knew which side of the war they were on only because they were terrified of being found by Nazis even in the 1990s.

When we cleaned out the house after my grandparents died, there was no evidence of their lives before arriving in Canada.

Nothing that hinted at their lives in Germany or Odessa. Nothing with their original names, photos, or anything that could be used to tie them to the before times.

As a Saskatchewanian (who lived many years in Manitoba) now in Ontario, it's a little shocking. Very confusing.

And yet, they had like 200 accidents/vehicles in the ditch today.

In fairness, we've gotten about 2.5' so far. Will take a bit to dig out.

It's a ghost town.

Feels like society’s really broken down in the US in a way that’s deeply traumatic.

But also there are college students knocking on doors asking for shovels (they’re not well-prepared) and helping trapped motorists by shoveling and pushing out cars. Up to 24 of them now, wandering streets together

DHS has shot 12 people during immigration enforcement operations since September:
