This is not true—driver’s licenses aren’t acceptable under the SAVE Act without additional proof of citizenship. The fact that they keep doing this sleight of hand should make clear that the SAVE Act is not something that “every American gets”

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

This is the way. We went to the courthouse on my lunch break; ended up having the couple ahead of us as our witnesses. Friends and family were a little miffed, but we had several smaller celebrations afterwards that were so much better than some big, expensive reception.

Forget the warm fuzzies of finding common ground – to beat polarization, try changing your expectations The key to civic coexistence might be learning to look out for neighbors even if we can’t stand them. No friendly feelings required.

“Hard Hope asks people to take a break from the bubblegum optimism of believing everyone is just moments away from seeing eye to eye… It’s a radical form of hope that’s more about indebted coexistence than enthusiastic camaraderie.”
- Sarah Pessin, University of Denver

a werewolf in front of a house wearing a ‘BE MINE’ heart and holding a sign that reads ‘THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE’ above a photo of bad bunny

a neighbor set up this werewolf for halloween and instead of taking it down they just update it with seasonal outfit changes. now it’s dressed for valentine’s day and holding a sign with a picture of bad bunny and his super bowl slogan. i love him.

Minneapolis shows us the only way out This year will decide the rest of our lives. And the people will decide it.

Minneapolis shows us the only way out

Today, we will see the closest thing to a general strike in the US since 1946. Much of Minnesota will simply say, "Hell, no," to the lawless, vicious, and absurdly unnecessary assault on their neighbors by the Trump regime's Department of Homeland Security.
