I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

One of Britain’s most senior police officers has launched an angry tirade against Extinction Rebellion protesters going “all floppy” when they get arrested. Sir Stephen House, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan police, said the tactic of going limp was a “flipping nuisance” as it required extra officers to drag protesters away. House told a London assembly police and crime committee hearing: “We have asked them to stop being floppy. And that might seem like a silly thing to say, but when we arrest them and pick them up, they go all floppy, which is why you see four or five officers carrying them away. It’s a complete waste of officers’ time, and a complete pain in the neck.” Extinction Rebellion: how successful were the latest protests? Read more House also expressed annoyance at how the tactic made the police look heavy-handed. He said: “The problem with them going floppy and four offices carrying them away [is that it] looks to the general public like police are overreacting here. We’re not making them go floppy. They’re just sort of being a nuisance.”

This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".

Generalsekretæren av KrFU i en debatt på dax18 med tema «har likestillingen gått for langt?». Hennes kommentar: «vi skal ikke komme med moralsk pekefinger.»

nei, klart skal du, Generalsekretæren av Kristelig folkepartis Ungdom, ikke komme med moralsk pekefinger. Det hadde vært rart ☺️

In Norway we have a day called The Heavenly Bounce, which the centre-right party Left (don't ask) tries to make into a normal day and everybody tells them to shut the fuck up

omg no one I know ever actually connected with their missed person! but I do know many people who have been ghosted by Whole Foods employees.

I had many “Muni crushes” in my early 20s in sf that I was too shy to talk to (though I did try to find one of them via missed connections on Craigslist circa 2007, unsuccessfully)

I actually cannot believe I’m a norwegian citizen like what happens now? Do I get a free barrel of oil or something

my summer plans:

Transkvinner er kvinner, transmenn er menn, kjønn er ikke binært og folk vet selv best hva slags kjønn (eller ikke) de er, menneskerettighetene gjelder for alle, og britisk høyesterett kan ta seg en bolle.

also I can be the prime minister

this means I can go through the cool guy line at European border control, and vote in the national elections!!

Letter from the Norwegian immigration department saying my application for Norwegian citizenship has been approved “Oversendelsesbrev - innvilgelse av soknad om norsk statsborgerskap Utlendingsdirektoratet (UDI) har innvilget seknaden din om norsk statsborgerskap.

No pressure on that Andor show but everything in the world is bad and it might be the only thing that’s good so the entire fate of human society rests on it being even better than season one
