This is this stuff I hope future historians (and poor students trying to write essays!) understand that happened and like, ten news minutes later 10 other horrible things happened.

Closer image of the doll representing Baby Jesus. He is wrapped in a silver emergency blanket and his hands are zip tied together. The wooden box he rests in is perched among rubble, with a chicken wire fence visible behind him. He is alone, his parents held on the other side of the fence with the ICE centurions

The zip ties on the infant's wrists directly reference the children who were zip-tied by agents during a raid on a Chicago apartment building earlier this year, where most residents were U.S. citizens: a stark reminder that enforcement terror does not discriminate by documentation status.

Crochet and OGoA with a mini potluck in the background behind camera - things are not looking good for the characters but it’s a fun time.

Ooo! Thank you! I was going to keep them indoors through winter and see how they do outside in the spring!

It could be! I’ve simply not met one that was so bushy/upright.

License plate trackers promise to root out local crime. Amid ICE crackdowns, local governments say they can’t be trusted.

The stacking crisis of lack of PCPs, lack of access, underpaid, purposely understaffed… from Primary Care to Emergency Medicine to EMTs to 911 Dispatchers…

We should really care about the crumbling of those doing the work we all ✨assume✨ will be there when needed.

Unknown plant gifted to me labeled as a fuchsia Heart shaped green leaf with scalloped edges and red brown stem in front of white paper

Anyone want to take a crack at a #PlantID ? Given to me labeled fuchsia, bright smelling leaves, reminds me of a hot lips salvia?

Nonprofit using service dogs to curb veteran suicides celebrates 300th pairing The dogs train for the specific needs of the person they’re working with, but are all taught to disrupt panic attacks and help veterans feel safer in stressful situations.

The service dogs spend five months in training before even meeting their new owner. Their heightened senses of smell and chemical detection make them ideal for spotting seizures, panic attacks and even low blood pressure for diabetics.

Currently wondering best ways to share plant propagations, I bet there’s a Little Free Library like thing? 🤔

Cosigned. Your life is finite, you 100% do not owe genuinely toxic family your time or your courtesy.

I saw them and thought your collection might need a smol friend - haha roundabout way of getting that to you - but the hive mind is very good at this type of chaos

1. A court ordered the federal government to return the search-and-rescue helicopter to Newport.

Temporary order to keep the helicopter in Newport!

FWIW I’ve only had good experiences ordering thru the above site.

Also tetanus is horrifically painful and has no cure. Spasms that are sometimes so strong patients have bones break. And death in patients hospitalized is somewhere around 30 percent. 3 in 10 is a terrifying rate of death.
