Yes! I loved all of Jill Ker Conway's books, her memoirs as well as the anthologies of women's memoirs she edited. I think they were called "Written by Herself."

Trump officials stick "terrorist" label on Americans killed by DHS Minneapolis shooting victim committed "act of domestic terrorism," Noem says

The government can't be allowed to kill people without cause and say it was, um, terrorism later.

It happened to the Venezuelan fisherman.
It happened to Renee Good.
It happened to Alex Pretti.
It is a lie.

Left hand on the ground trying not to hit the pavement; right hand still holding a cell phone. ICE person standing with a one handed grip pointing his gun right at the man’s head.

There is nothing about this that we should accept. We all must reject this. This is our government, & they want this

A DHS statement claimed β€œan individual approached US Border Patrol officers” with β€œa handgun” in the Alex Pretti shooting incident. A Bellingcat analysis of the footage appears to show that a gun was taken away from where Pretti was situated by an agent just before the first shot was fired.

Hi folks, I'm seeing a lot of "Eyes on Minneapolis" & "We support Minnesota" sentiment. Here's a tangible way you can help:

Trump just suspended federal funding for SNAP benefits to Minnesota. Second Harvest Heartland is an MN-based hunger-relief org.

Please donate what you can.

Utah reviewed its voter rolls for noncitizens. It found one. Who never voted The results sharply undercut the narrative of widespread noncitizen voting Republicans are using to promote new nationwide restrictions on voting.

β€œAfter a sweeping, Republican-led review of more than 2 million voter registrations, Utah election officials identified just one apparent noncitizen in their voter rolls β€” who never voted.”

But that wont stop Trump from lying about β€œvoter fraud.” Ignore him. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

It is -9 degrees without windchill. I have retreated to the Skyway. But the streets are full and they keep coming. There have been larger protests but I can’t think of that’s been more hazardous to bare skin.

"noncooperation with evil is as much a moral obligation as is cooperation with good. No other person has been more eloquent & passionate in getting this idea across than Henry David Thoreau. As a result of his writings & personal witness, we are the heirs of a legacy of creative protest." MLK

ICE detained people waiting at a food pantry, Salvation Army says A foodbank in New Jersey cautioned its partners to have a plan in place in case of an ICE raid.

ICE detained people while waiting in line at a food pantry.

Again, ICE DETAINED PEOPLE WHILE WAITING IN LINE AT A FOOD PANTRY.

Seems as if this works β€” if employers start firing people for standing up for their neighbors and fellow humans β€” than a remedy is publicizing the identity of those employers.

I saw this message and feel the need to post.. when monks leave their monasteries to walk for peace, it’s not symbolic, it’s a warning. They don’t seek attention. They don’t ask for power. They walk only when the world is out of balance. If you see them, offer food and water.

They need to do something there. The signage/wayfinding is terrible and so many people move through there everyday that it's hard not to believe there is some kind of potential for commerce.

Were you able to stream it on the Houston Marathon website? I tried several times, but got an error message each time. I even set my VPN to Texas, but that didn't work.

I've posted this a million times, but here is the million-and-first:

In 2000, these people were all on GW Bush's "Florida Recount" team:
- John "Just Calling Balls and Strikes" Roberts
- Brett "Roe is 'Settled Law' " Kavanaugh
- Amy "Confirmed 1 week before election" Barrett

In 2025 ... they rule
