“The MAGA agenda relies on fear & chaos. When Kendrick Lamar uses a platform as big as the Super Bowl halftime show to say no, we are not afraid, that, in fact, we are a collective moving with a common purpose, it’s a direct hit to what MAGA needs to survive.”

The dancer who waved a flag expressing solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza and Sudanese people during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl show on Sunday has been released without charges. “I had an opportunity on a grand scale to bring awareness to a wrong [against] our Muslim brothers and sisters.”

I did my 5 calls today.
I've seen several congressional staffers give tips:
1) Only bring up one topic per call (today, mine was the RFK Jr confirmation)
2) CALL even if you are a blue dot in a red sea -- ESPECIALLY then. Make these folks fear for their jobs if they don't listen

I am the Gorden Ramsay of essay correcting.
Everyone thinks I'm mean and too critical but I just want this/any essay to be the best it could possibly be!

Lol I meant size not spice but honestly Pico is 100x the spice of Winston
... Because Pico de Gato don't give af about anything but late night cuddles.
Master's thesis study buddy! My friend's dog Winston.
Interesting fact: My cat Pico is almost twice the spice of Winston. My cat Venice is almost three times Winston's size 🤣🤣🤣
Tl;Dr my cats can eat this dog

My Swedish friend sent this to me when I told him about getting my court date. I was arrested last June for protesting the genocide in Palestine.
I used my privledge to do what I could. Hopefully it doesn't affect my chances of becoming a permanent resident here in Sweden😅

He was arrested, locked up, and released the next day when Ralph Waldo Emerson paid his tax. The story is told that when Emerson, standing outside the cell, asked Thoreau through the bars, “What are you doing in there?”, Thoreau responded, “What are you doing out there?”

Thoreau, the recluse of Walden Pond, didn’t approve of the war (nor of slavery), so he refused to pay his one-dollar poll tax in the town of Concord, because his money might go to buy “a man or a musket to shoot one with.”

In 1846, President James Polk decided that California, then a part of the Mexican Republic, should belong to the United States. He started a war in order to get it.

7/15/23 I married my favorite person in Dodgeville, WI.
💒
7/15/24 we were in Sweden & I had a bad case of salmonella.
🤮
December 2024 we finally went back to Dodgeville to celebrate the holidays and our anniversary with the family.
🎄💜
Both the scarf and cake were made by my sisters in law.
