This breaks my heart. And it’s only one medium sized state. California quilt would look like the Sacramento River, I’d think.

This is the Stolen Neighbors Quilt. Each of the 11,000 squares represents a person taken by ICE in Minnesota.

wow, you're telling me a ton of senators and congressmen have been funneling bribes into their personal pacs for years? it's almost like the dissenting opinion in citizens united was right, and that opening the door to super pacs has undermined the integrity of elections! Post: InteractInk.com

This thread is chilling. Man was shot by ICE as he was delivering door dash, removed by ICE from a hospital, detained by ICE until his situation deteriorated, then manhandled by ICE as paralysis set in and he had to go back to the hospital. Straight up torture.

This bears repeating. GenX is vulnerable to measles because many only got one shot and have limited immunity. I was one of them until I asked my primary for a blood test. Doc immediately prescribed a vaccination when results came in.

Well deserved. Saw a screening at the California School Library conference. These educators are amazing and strong against adult bullying (aka harassment).

I crafted a dystopian sci-fi novel outline in 2016 about library, archives, and knowledge being locked away permanently because of the contract terms and conditions of library cloud storage. Crafted during a work cloud-storage sales pitch. Decade away from it turning to nonfiction, apparently.

Whether we are relying on too few commercial communications outlets that can throttle criticism should be investigated. The tech oligarchs have the ability to limit our ability to talk to each other.

Goddamnit. Two of the victims-one deceased, one critically injured-from a shooting in Idaho are from Northern California. The other deceased victim has family ties to SoCal. We have banned these weapons in CA for a reason. Or at least tried to. Yet a shooting in ID takes the lives of Californians.

Taylor Farms' parent company has given $2.2M to GOP PACs this election cycle. That includes $1M to Trump's own PAC, just 6 days after the FDA delayed new food tracing requirements last year. Money in politics is sickening.

Reminder: there's NO legitimate use for crypto. Its only practical uses are tax evasion, money laundering, fraud, specualtion, and crime. No Democrat should vote for the so-called CLARITY Act, a bill backed by the crypto lobby that would make this Ponzi scheme even worse.

Donald Trump released classified documents which incriminate himself, proving without a doubt there was Russian collusion. Trump several campaign aides, his family and other associates were directly involved with Russian agents, attempting to discredit Joe Biden in 2020. He is so stupid. I love it.

The top 1% owns as much wealth as the entire middle class. That's not the America we're supposed to be. We need an economy that works for everyone, not just those already at the top.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. The seventh richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Gere summarizes the importance of the moment so well here. We need more of this-familiar faces from popular media to help move the dial. I could have seen Reiner bringing together dozens of known people to do this like when he started First 5, had he not died. Is there someone who could do this?

Seems to me that Trump and his Epstein buddies and GOP donors are draining as much money as they can from the American economy before it collapses. And they are using the U.S. Treasury like a piggy bank.
