Civically engaged, but high school educated. There's never a wrong time to amplify anti-racist msgs. Not a lawyer, but I did visit https://xitter.cf/t.co/qvMenHW6Xq tonight

This article from Elie Mystal perfectly sums up how we should react to the actions of the deplorable governors of Texas and Florida.
β€œI do not know why treating brown people like unwanted garbage so titillates the Republican MAGA base,” writes @ElieNYC of DeSantis and Abbott’s ploys to score points by shipping migrants to blue states. The practice should be illegal. bit.ly/3diE4zZ

Imagine being in a foreign country, not speaking the language, desperate and with your child, and being dropped off in the middle of the street in a strange city with nothing because a politician wants to stoke the ugliest instincts of humanity. American exceptionalism indeed.

Who do you call when the police steal your car?
Replying to @AleneTchek
Investigators are now having Patti Giggans’ car towed. β€œNow I’m pissed,” she said. Her attorney says there’s nothing in the warrant about taking away the car, which sheriff’s investigators already searched earlier

One daughter of the QAnon killer was unwounded. After the attack, she talked about her dad's Q obsession. β€œI think that he was always prone to [mental issues], but it really brought him down when he was reading all those weird things on the internet." nbcnews.com/news/us-news/mic…

It’s hard to remember things that didn’t happen. I *do* remember this picture, though; it’s from Wisconsin in 2011.
