Those of my teaching colleagues who will (again) tomorrow be broadcasting their aspirations to be “good guys with guns,” have among them exactly zero folks I trust to make good decisions in bad situations.

This morning, the federal government turned the full force of the Department of Homeland Security against a sitting member of Congress for the offense of disagreeing with the White House.

The path to citizenship should not be weaponized against anyone, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, a naturalized American who swore an oath to this country — the same one that I took.

The promise of citizenship should not be contingent on someone agreeing with the federal government.

The notion that we fight fascism by pretending it's not occurring has brought us here to a place where Nazi cheerleaders have taken over our government, occupying our cities, abducting our neighbors & trafficking immigrant children.

There are 506 citizens' cases in the database, and users can sort by what the incidents involve, where the incident is located, and the recency of the case.

time: get outside and meet the neighbors. Take the next step in building connections, today.

prep: create a plan for rotating stock in your pantry and freezer. Avoid waste, and if you find things too expired to eat, DON'T DONATE THEM. Food pantries can't accept them. Instead, offer them on Buy Nothing, listed as animal food. https://simpleresistance.us/rotate-stock/

Voicemail (transcription) from our local prepper/militia supply company, with which I have had zero interaction before I called back to let them know that I am not Diego. Here’s hoping that whatever “Diego” was doing paperwork for, they didn’t already let him take it with him.
Voicemail transcript reading: “Hey, Diego, this is [redacted]. It looks like we will need your driver’s license number and the expiration date on it as well. Apologies for that misstep on our part and you can call whenever
Is convenient for you.”
