Yell “ICE” and “LA MIGRA” to disrupt them. Notify people and use your privilege as a citizen to make ICE’s job as difficult as possible.
Fascism has been here. It’s just loud now. Time to be loud too.
If you cannot attend protests in person, it’s time for you to organize with your community and educate yourself.
Donate to bail funds in your city now. Find the sanctuary cities near you.
Go to libraries. There are groups organizing. Do not let the censorship of TikTok allow these communities to go silent.
What they’re doing to TikTok and the timing of it, whether Trump saves it to make himself look better or he censors it on the doorstep of his new reign, it is intentional.
Trump is expected to issue an emergency executive order regarding the southern US border tomorrow after inauguration.
California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, be ready for ICE and border patrol.
#WTF isn’t Chicago a sanctuary city?
Yes. Trump is targeting sanctuary cities. This report on Chicago was originally a leak, so all sanctuary cities are on alert.
an old con gag that will always be funny is someone cosplaying spy from tf2 in a group of people and they’ve got a different cosplay taped to their face to blend in
I just need everyone to know about this tiktok account where these two girls sit and make a cocktail or a mixed drink, usually in a public place, but specifically usually like a fast food restaurant, and look around somewhat nervously while they do it like they’re on the run. They’re usually prominently featuring 2000s-era pop culture like wearing bedazzled clothing or using a Motorola RAZR. It’s called 2girls1bottl3 and I’m obsessed with it.
It’s also important to know they go by Mixey (right) and Munchy (left). They do exactly what their names imply in every video.
My best friend and I are certain Mixey is going to snap and kill Munchy one day

everyone trying to own trump about the “he doesn’t know sex isn’t determined at conception” thing really fundamentally does not understand what the point of that was, and learned basically nothing from his first term. he is not invested in scienve, biology, or any rational discussion where his provably false beliefs would be subject to scrutiny. he is signaling to everyone in the country that it does not matter what you say, he will never care and he will take every action to enforce these views and embolden his followers with the same rhetoric. you cannot logically talk to a person like this when they are reasoning with emotion, not logic. you cannot dunk the transphobia away. someone post the vonnegut quote.

When I was in kindergarten I saw a painting of the American Revolutionary War. I asked my mom, “Who were the good guys and who were the bad guys?” And she said, “That’s not really how war works. It’s not like a TV show. Both sides thought they were right, otherwise they wouldn’t have been fighting.” And my seven year old ass went “Oh ok”
Anyway having internalized that fun fact in literally kindergarten? It surprises me how many college-educated adults still don’t seem to know about it.
OP your mum is correct but also you realise this was literally about the American Civil War where there very much was a good guys and bad guys side?
Like I appreciate the sentiment but it’s one of the few wars where you can very easily pick the side that was validated by history.
“One doesn’t need to make things unnecessarily complicated at the outset. He who raises his right arm at a slant forcefully and repeatedly while standing on a political stage at a political speech in front of a partially extreme right public is performing the Hitler salute. There is no need for ‘allegedly’ or 'similar’ or 'debated’. The gesture speak for itself, it is documented on video. Whoever then wants to reinterpret it, whoever doesn’t want to see (i.e., refuses to recognize) the Hitler salute, does so on their own behalf.”
(sorry I am really bad at translating but this is roughly what it says, for my non-German speaking mutuals)
This poll is about whether you would be willing to pass your genetic health issues on to biological children. For the purposes of this poll, answer based on this question alone– if you don’t want to have children for other reasons, try to put those reasons aside and answer solely on the basis of whether you would want hypothetical children to inherit your condition(s).
For the purposes of this poll, do not include the possibility of IVF + PGD (in vitro fertilization with preimplantation genetic diagnosis), which allows the parents to choose a healthy embryo or an embryo with specific traits to be conceived.
If you have a genetic disorder/syndrome that significantly affects your quality of life and could possibly be passed on to your children, would you want to have biological children, knowing that they could inherit your condition?
Be civil in the comments and remember that real people live with every one of the conditions you could bring up in your hypothetical arguments. If you have a condition that aligns with this question, feel free to discuss your reasoning, but I encourage anyone who does not have a condition like this to refrain from speculating on the value of lives with such conditions. Do not use this post as a platform for eugenics.

I got all my parents’ genetic issues. Even if there weren’t other reasons I didn’t want kids, I wouldn’t wish this hell on my worst enemy.
I told my students they’re allowed to be creative and don’t have to be factual when writing about themselves in German because I keep getting questions like “what if I don’t have roommates or what if I don’t have hobbies” and I’m like guys just make something up! Have fun! I won’t fact check you!
So now I am grading homework where a student is claiming to be from North Korea and his hobby is tax fraud
I fully believe that as long as it’s grammatically correct, coherent and answering the question students should be able to write whatever the hell they want. I don’t care about their actual hobbies and the names of their siblings.
One of my students is writing about a ghost he “interviewed”. The ghost is called Walter and died in 1865 . The ghost has ghost friends.
This is making grading homework significantly more fun.

btw now is the best time to keep boycotting. the israeli economy has never been weaker. don’t stop the protests or the demands for divestment. keep supporting organisations like the Hind Rajab Foundation and the Accountability Archive. ofc don’t stop boosting and donating to Palestinians as Gaza is still uninhabitable.
