URGENT Stop ✋ a child is dying This pain is unbearable. Amal’s son is between life and death after Israeli drone fire. He needs urgent evacuation outside Gaza for care. The family cannot afford it. Even $5 could make a difference. Please help, donate, and share. chuffed.org/project/save...

From Montpelier, Vermont. Biggest cheer was when Sen Welch said, "We love Canada!" 38 degrees and raining, but VTers are a hearty bunch! Grateful Dead quote and old pitchfork = chef's kiss VT

I remember a local family whose son died in one of the Gulf wars tripling down...I think that can more easily happen bc they have to make their kid's death make sense.

My take on Elon Musk asking federal workers what they did last week as a 19-yr state govt employee: Fed & state agencies are top down, hierarchical systems. Prob 99% of people are doing (or NOT doing) what they've been told to do / what law specifies they do. These aren't startup tech firms, FFS

Spent last weekend in Quebec City for a hockey tournament and Carnival. I used the French I learned specifically for the trip many times: "Je suis Américain, mais je n'ai pas voté pour Trump, il est fou. Le Canada est notre ami!"

Elon Musk inherited a lot of money from his rich daddy, and he is currently driving his businesses into the ground with his ineptitude. Donald Trump inherited a lot of money from his rich daddy and drove his businesses into the ground with is ineptitude. America, stop thinking rich men are smart.

We did that as a student council fundraiser. My junior high newspaper literally had a gossip column where we just used initials (like nobody would know). In my high school psych class, the teacher let a fellow student come in and read our auras 🤣🤣

If you don't think America is corrupt, Pam Bondi, the Florida Attorney General who took a bribe, was sworn in as the US Attorney General by Clarence Thomas, a SCOTUS Justice who routinely takes bribes.

You seem to have a big following here (other places?) & are in NC? Now is the time for us to do exactly that - get as many alums as possible to write letters, quit paying for the alum association, etc. I'm pretty well removed (in VT, not a member of any alum groups) but I'll do what I can from here

Even that is gross imo. There are tons of reasons schools shouldn't be places where students are rounded up to be deported, some legal, some moral, and some educational. If the chancellor will throw these students under the bus who's next?

SigOlson @sigolson.bsky.social · 26/01/2025
Any other Tar Heel alums out there? Let's tell the chancellor how we feel about our school selling its students out to ICE. Disgraceful.

I very distinctly remember hearing about this at the Stasi Museum. Said that all of these people who had been spying / informing on their neighbors for years just went back to regular life after the war. And you had to see them at the grocery store, at the mailbox, walking their dogs, etc.
