To everyone just now finding out Isaac Asimov was rather famously a sex pest: He's been gone 34 years now, you can handle this truth, I believe in you

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

it’s not necessarily that all these people in the epstein files participated in the raping of girls it’s that none of them cared and if he hadn’t been arrested and died they’d still be out there trying to be his friend

RAND PAUL: If a country bombed our air defense missiles, captured & removed our president, & blockaded our country, would that be considered an act of war?

RUBIO: We just don't believe this operation comes anywhere close to the constitutional definition

PAUL: Of course it would be an act of war!

My god, Alex Honnold actually climbed Taipei 101 free solo. He did it.

“i haven’t spoken about this due to my visa status, but fuck it i don’t stand for this shit, never have and never will. the senseless violence in our current world is sickening. abolish ICE.”

-5°F in Minneapolis tonight.

At the site where feds killed Alex Pretti, the air still smells faintly of tear gas. Hundreds of people still here behind some impromptu barricades.

Message spray painted on the road reads, "fuck ICE, love always wins."

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...

Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

It has been confirmed that Alex was a lawful gun owner and did not threaten ICE with a weapon. Early video reports indicate the weapon was taken by ICE and shots were then fired to execute him.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"

Mood in minneapolis right now

This is really something. Mark Warner, one of the more moderate and cautious senators in the Dem caucus, says he'll vote No on ICE funding:

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

The guy that runs the Reddit where people post about patting their cat on the butt like bongos has put his foot down

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an ICU nurse. 😢💔🙏 He spent his life helping people, and now our government is peddling lies in an attempt to make you believe them.

Federal agents shoot person in Minnesota, governor says Minneapolis officials said they are investigating.

Another Gestapo murder in Minnesota. Six agents wrestle someone to the ground and then shoot him in the back

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

Four Oglala detainees located, three still in ICE custody - ICT The four Lakota detainees were reportedly sent to a former concentration camp used during the Dakota Wars

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.

every time i log on something horrible is happening but also people are trying really hard to help

A small sculpture of a femme figure, headless and armless but striding forward, glazed in green and purple. Organically shaped cutouts show through to a hollow center.

A sculpture of a small black pug, looking up.

A bust of a masculine head, looking off to one side. The iron wash used adds some color and definition to his beard and hair. A crack formed at the chin.

A sculpture of a mermaid running her hands back through her hair, photo taken from the side. Beside her is another feminine torso, carved into with a design of swirls and circles.

Hihi #portfolioday! I am a US based artist who largely sculpts these days. I primarily do figure sculpting, but sometimes a dragon or a critter make it in. Hoping to make it into the studio more this year. #ceramics #sculpture #queerart #sapphicart

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Jonathan Ross worked for Border Patrol before ICE

we’re in the vet’s office waiting room and they just called for Agamemnon. we all looked at the Great Dane but it turns out Agamemnon is an orange kitten in a backpack that makes him look like an astronaut cheese puff

Amber Glenn wearing her gold medal after winning the US National Championship Women’s Singles Competition. She is dressed in a black short sequined gown and proudly holding a progress pride flag behind her. There is a gaggle of photographers in front of her.

Things are grim right now but as a reminder of who we are and why we fight, this is the US Women’s figuring skating champion.
