Donate Your Skymiles β€” Stand With Minnesota Donate your Delta Skymiles to get people home from Texas

Okay! This has already inspired a bunch of DMs, so I made a page on the website. If you have 50,000+ Skymiles and would be willing to book flights to get someone home, please fill this out.

I wrote the speech I *wish* Chuck Schumer would give tonight - as an actual opposition leader. Here it is:

"My fellow Americans: At this hour, an unrestrained force of militarized and violent federal officers is carrying out a project of ethnic cleansing in the streets of American cities."

Want to Stop ICE? Go After Its Corporate Collaborators. ICE can’t function without help from the private sector. So we should force the private sector to stop helping.

Scholars & organizers stress that the most important thing for pro-democracy movements to do is to peel away a regime’s β€œpillars of support.”

Breaking companies from ICE is a winnable struggle that can put serious pressure on the Trump regime, raising the political cost of their actions.

The act of deportation requires the person who is expelled to be of a foreign nationality. To be from elsewhere. They didn’t deport a US citizen. Masked criminals illegally detained, kidnapped, & trafficked a US citizen to a foreign country based on the color of their skin.

β€œThen they shouldn’t have voted for this!”

Bitch, Asheville is a blue college town and the county has gone blue for decades. I am so sick of this β€œif I pretend disasters only happen to red areas, it means I’m safe because I’m properly on the left!” No. You’re not safe. That’s why we save everybody.

A great example of how the @nytimes.com centers white Americans and Trump supporters in its anecdotal political coverage. You never see stories like this about Black Democrats whose cities are cracked in Republican gerrymandering to give them Republican elected officials.

Honestly it’s the first time I’ve ever lost weight without disordered eating. Intuitive eating just actually works.

Feel pretty good at this shape, and if I go up in weight when I start trying to add muscle it won’t bother me. Love shopping absolutely anywhere and VINTAGE.

I started with one goal weight; when I reached it said, well, why not? And went down another 10lbs. Starting to feel too bony when trying to sleep so stopping here. (130-135, size 6)
I have literally never been at this weight or size since I started weighing.

There Is No Mary Problem in β€˜It’s a Wonderful Life’ George’s vision of his wife without him is essential to the film, but critics continue to miss its trueβ€”and profoundβ€”meaning.

This is an almost shockingly wise essay. I'm glad I've finally read it.

No document will protect you. All they have to do is take it from you and "lose" it; take it from you and say you never gave it to them; claim it's fake ⬇️; make a new rule that you need ANOTHER document. Citizenship is a made-up status that governments decide the rules for. No one is free until all.

The Washington Post v @washingtonpost
X.com

The Trump administration is trying to root out what it sees as rampant left-wing domestic terrorism, raising concerns among security experts and lawmakers that broad categories of Americans' speech could come under surveillance. wapo.st/3МK2QKH

A memo from Attorney General Pam Bondi said these agendas may merit a federal investigation:
β€’ "anti-Americanism"
- "anti-capitalism"
- "anti-Christianity"
- "opposition to law and immigration enforcement"
- "radical gender ideology"
- "hostility towards traditional views on family, religion, and morality"

To add insult to injury today, THIS is the Bondi fascist witch hunt list. More than 1/2 of the country will bear the brunt of her chaotic extreme paranoid nonsense. For what?

For exercising our right to free speech to criticize and petition our government?

Simply put, this IS anti-American.

If ICE gets to decide against all evidence that your documentation is fake, just because they say so, then there is no law. For anyone, but especially for Black and brown people the Supreme Court has declared are warrantless arrest targets.
