I mean, at the least, start stockpiling nonperishables for the general strike.

So glad to see more people writing about this!

I think I read it because I loved Jane Austen. I had seen Wuthering Heights described as a gothic romance. So I think I was expecting Tim Burton (it was the 90s) I remember thinking that "This is not romantic, everyone seems to hate each other." I was possibly too young to get the point

I haven't read it since I was a teenager. It confused me at the time, I had never before read a book where ALL the characters are unpleasant.
Might be worth revisiting

IDK- The main road through my town is in need of restructuring. The proposal included bike lanes and had *ten* fewer parking spaces. Locals lost their minds, you would have thought the DOT had proposed coming to each house and slashing tires. It was truly unhinged pearl clutching over bike lanes.

Former ICE agent: My first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a warrant. I watched ICE cut classes that teach our legal system, firearms training, use of force, lawful arrests, and the limits of officers' authority

I can't say how much I hope Jasmine Crockett defeats James talirico in the election. I think she is the real deal, a very genuine defender of democracy. People like her offer the greatest hope that the US will not slide further into fascism.

Dang. I teach environmental science, I wonder if there is a new Scopes trial on the horizon. 😞

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

We're at the point where people are terrified of both Tylenol and witches. The promise of mRNA vaccines still exists, but the research funding seems to be out 😞

I thought that Bone's prejudice was supposed to be part of the character. A provincial Earth doctor, inadequately prepared for the challenges of space medicine and grumpy about it. As the seasons progress Bones grows as a person, shedding some of his bias and widening his views.

Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves fits the bill, I think

What is wrong with 37% of the population? Do y'all think it was all the lead paint?

Oh, so now he acknowledges that it's good to fight back against authority figures who use tear gas and rubber bullets? Welcome to the resistance, Matty

And Stephan is so much creepier

Thank you. I needed to know this existed

Happy Caturday, I'm staying warm with my reading buddy/book critic Jiji

That is wonderful 😍 I am happy to hear that people have pregnancies that they enjoy. Children are precious, but I hated being pregnant and it was scary.

The only not-terrible part of pregnancy is the hope (NOT the guarantee) that you will get a baby. If you don't want a baby pregnancy is 100% terrible. Even for people who do want a baby pregnancy is a lot terrible 😔

I don't think people understand that if you shut down the government, ICE and CBP do NOT shut down. They're funded by supplemental money from the BBB. That's why dems are separating the DHS funding bill and asking for restrictions. I want them to demand a rescission of that funding or shut DHS down

A Texas man detained by ICE was his disabled son’s sole caregiver. His son will be laid to rest without him | CNN Wael Tarabishi’s family had hoped his father and primary caretaker could be present as they say their final goodbyes to the 30-year-old at his funeral on Thursday.

Because from the beginning, the mission was based on cruelty.

MAGA Didn’t Happen to America. America Made MAGA. A Psychological History of How the Groundwork for Trumpism Was Laid, Activated, and Cemented

Sobering, but worth a long read.

Jasmine Crockett is so beleaguered, harassed, and fettered politically that I am afraid she won't have the chance to run for president and sadly, I'll never vote for her since I don't live in Texas. 😞

Mr. President — warmest greetings from the entire UNITED24 team, our ambassadors, and donors around the world.

May this birthday bring you closer to fulfilling all your dreams, and fill your days with joy, strength, and inspiration.
