ICE drawdown? Indications point to steady enforcement activity outside the Twin Cities Some people who observe ICE activity are skeptical about a large scale drawdown of agents in the state. There are indications that activity has decreased in the Twin Cities, but has continued outside ...

Two female ICE agents popped the hood of their car and knocked on the door of a mechanic born in Mexico. He went out to help.

“A bunch of agents jump out and tackle him, essentially restraining him, and take him away...His six kids are now without their father." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

I've been saying it for almost 6 months now, but the Democratic should have a standing daily press conference where they bring forth yesterday's victims of ice.

Every single day we aren't putting a victim of ice in front of the media. We're losing a day

I have no interest in policing other people's personal health choices in any way. If you're taking a GLP-1 and happy with it, then I'm happy.

But we're never going to be a country without fat people — or the need to treat each other with grace and humanity regardless of size.

Today is the first day of Ramadan, the first day of Adar, Lunar New Year and Mardi Gras.

This means that for one reason or another, the majority of humans on the planet have a reason to eat fried food, and that is beautiful.

Please read this thread!!!

And if you are concerned about ICE being deployed for voter intimidation, find a local voting rights org who is already doing the work.

Start with Vote Riders. States having weird/changing Voter ID laws is less flashy for scaring folks but it works real well.

Make Feb 14 #LoveAnticolonizationDay.

Okay, but doesn’t everyone who watches The Pitt want to be a doctor?

Reject colonialism.
Reject imperialism.
Embrace the working class struggle.

Just in case you thought it was getting better. It’s not. The horrors keep on rolling along.

Ordination processes are literally costing the lives of marginalized clergy and continuing to allow through people who should never have anyone in their care.

I work with a lot of queer clergy, a lot of clergy women, NB/GNC/trans clergy, clergy of color, and every single one of them has a story. Folks are *traumatized* on the way to the pulpit, if they make it there at all.

I’ll give you two guesses what their skin color and gender are, and the first guess doesn’t count.

I have watched good pastors *struggle* to get through the ordination process because they speak with an accent. Hand to God. Meanwhile, raging narcissists are sailing through ordination or licensure and are doing active harm to vulnerable people in congregations.

THIS IS WHY WE SAVE EVERYBODY

I get a ferocious desire to manage my diabetes when I think about giving a friend a kidney but can’t muster up an ounce of caring about it when my toes are numb. WHY

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

I just found a crumb in my bra and ate it in front of a coworker, if we’re wondering how I’m doing this Advent.

And did we just give up on not saying fuck around kids? I love a good swear and I’m not trying to be the politeness police, but again, I thought we had an understanding.

Also, more people watch videos/video edits of the president than I expected. I do my best not to hear that man’s voice anywhere, and suddenly, I’m surrounded.

Seconding this. I went to UNC for physics and all the classes that I wouldn’t have taken on my own made me a better thinker and communicator.

When did we decide that we’re just not going to wear headphones in public anymore?

(I’m in an urgent care waiting room with a wait time of two hours, so I don’t really begrudge people their entertainment. I just thought we had a social contract about this.)

I am literally begging churches to put your public wifi password on your bulletins and welcome tables. IT’S NOT HARD.

(I am morally tortured every day by the privilege my education affords me. Let me be trash for one evening— the food pantry will be there in the morning.)

Having champagne and potato salad in a sweatshirt and boxers. This is the post-wedding life I envisioned for myself, for sure.

We mourn the passing of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a fearless Black transgender elder whose life embodied the struggle for liberation, dignity, and justice. From the Stonewall uprising to her decades of advocacy for incarcerated trans women and communities of color, Miss Major taught generations to resist oppression and love each other fiercely in the face of state violence. Her legacy is one of radical care and defiant joy, a reminder that true freedom means leaving no one behind. May her spirit continue to guide us as we fight for the world she envisioned. Rest in power, Miss Major. Your legacy and work will live on. *** Art by @translashmedia [image: colorful illustration of Miss Majors with text: “I don’t need their permission to exist; I exist in spite of them. I want you to train & teach & love on & create families within my community & gender non-conforming people so that we can understand that we have a culture, we have a reason to be here. We have a purpose. We’re entitled to be loved & seek happiness, & share that with people that we care about.” —Miss Major Griffin-Gracy“] #RIPMissMajor #MissMajor #TransElder #TransPioneer #Stonewall #TransIcon #TransLiberation
