Deb Won't Shut Up

I know that Minnesota's AG recently won a court case regarding this as it relates to MN schools. I don't know details of that case or if this is a related outcome. A friend told me about the MN win when we spoke.

🤣🤣 if you hadn't sent pictures from your outing I might be worried.

ICE wanted this Kansas City warehouse. The people resisted and won. "This decision wouldn’t have happened without several weeks of protest and collective action by low-wage workers,” one organizer said.

Federal officials from the Department of Homeland Security were eyeing a Kansas City warehouse for one of their next detention facilities for immigrants.

The people resisted and won.

Take care of yourself and ignore everyone that you don't absolutely need to respond to/talk to/acknowledge -- including me. This administration would like nothing more than to suck the life out of those who show up to resist.

My knowledge of the Kent State tragedy didn't go very deep. This is a great piece on what happened, what led up to it, and how the government responded.

Dark bluish purple background. Across the top are two pictures. The first shows 4 Black young men seated at a lunch counter in a restaurant in 1960. The image is a black and cream in color with an orange border. The second picture is a color photo of the Woolworth lunch counter where the young men sat. Below that in orange font are the words "Lunch Counter Sit-In" Below that the words "Keepin' It 100" in purple font.

66 years ago, four Black college students sat down at the Whites Only lunch counter of the Woolworth in Greensboro, NC. It wasn't a spontaneous. They planned it. And they stuck with it for nearly 6 months.

YouTube video by Tad Stoermer Force the Fight: A Resistance History Lesson from the Anti-Federalists

On other platforms I've seen a few comments from ppl interpreting "force the fight" as a call to arms -- as if there is nothing between Dems continuing to follow a playbook the other side has shredded and civil war. 🤦🏼‍♀️

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

A friend downstate is also very pleased. 😁

🤣🤣🤣 This is awesome.

Replace the cilantro cooked in crock pot with 1 tbsp coriander. But did have cilantro as garnish.

Adjusted step 1 by using immersion blender instead of regular blender for easier cleanup.

Resistance begins with truth and that means breaking free of the mythology of the founders and the founding. I have found @tadstoermer.bsky.social videos to be extremely helpful with that.

There's been a question of a chapter starting at a high school in the metro detroit area. Apparently Club America requires the club student leaders to be students to be 18 years old so that TPUSA can have direct contact with them. At this point, that halted things -- for now.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I have extended family that is Cherokee. He doesn't leave his home by himself for fear of ICE -- especially since ICE doesn't seem to give much credence to tribal I.D.s when they are doing their illegal round-ups.

Think you know the Montgomery Bus Boycott or Rosa Parks? This is a great reminder that resistance takes time to work. A fact that's easy to forget in our instantaneous culture.

I volunteer with Emergent Justice and I can tell you this evidentiary hearing is a big deal. Please help me and @emergentjustice.org amplify this story and this week's coverage of the hearing.

Great and important article.

Thanks for gifting. Great article.

😹😹

This is why I will never, ever agree with Dem strategists who advise dropping transgender issues to win elections.

OMG, this headline makes me want to puke. Glad I ate a light breakfast.

Movie poster for Sir, No Sir. Background is orange graduating to yellow from top down. Fonts are mostly black. Below the movie title are the words "The Hidden History of the GI Movement Against the Vietnam War." A nondescript army solder is shown as a black silhouette with yellow helmet. One arm is raised high with hand in the peace sign V

Today, I watched the documentary "Sir, No Sir" about the G.I. Antiwar Movement during Vietnam. This was a movement primarily of men (and a few women) who were serving during the Vietnam War and decided what was happening was wrong. I highly recommend it. I found a free version on Youtube.
