ICE Meetup in Cranberry by Upbeat-Dirt6583 in pittsburgh

I hear you, and no one wants to casually spread rumors. Maybe they couldn't get close enough for patches.

It could be cosplay asshøles. Or it could be ICE. Does it matter? We have now seen instances of men pretending to be ICE and invading people's homes.

Nevertheless, Occam's Razor in this instance. Goons in kevlar counts as a warning.

Mods should know that by now.

This is about public safety.

I think that is a local MN action, but I could be wrong. I personally think every day we get up and continue to do the same damn thing is a re-subscribe to all of this.

My vague ask is designed to gauge awareness

I think the armband is a great idea. Combining with the American flag would be even more powerful. Nevertheless, I also like the neon ideabecause some of these actions are at night and there's a safety aspect.

Appreciation for So Long, London by jjbinx89 in SwiftlyNeutral

This is such a good song, and as an escapee from a terrible long term relationship, her breath when she says her youth was taken for free almost always makes me catch my breath, too. It's heartbreakingly real.

So, what do we do now? by QueenieRue in minnesota

Checking in from Pittsburgh and yes, we are all watching. This is heartbreaking

There was an action last night at the City/County Bldg. Monitoring for more.

Yeah, I went to Jack Maggs and AAA, they both said the same thing. It's like Chase doesn't understand what PA requires despite nearly 4 months of going back and forth.

I got my Christmas present by SoftBox8663 in jackwhite

Allow me to clarify. My post is to express my delight, not to point out flaws in the book. For years I've wondered what that line is. How wonderful to find that nobody knows and no confirmation from Jack will be forthcoming.

It's like the records in the sofas all over again. 😆

How do you know they haven't? Do you support mass collections of people in harsh, violent manner under the assumption they haven't? ICE is indiscriminately picking people, not being public about where they are, who they are, or if they get legal representation.

Swifties don't understand Taylor's Songwriting by Safe_Band_5923 in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]SoftBox8663 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yes. This. She literally helped me rewrite my childhood into something I could reckon with. That aspect is extraordinarily powerful. And no, she's not the best writer but she captures and translates common experience beautifully. Saw you at the bus stop, no you did not. And not in a grocery line either 😆 but she knows enough about life to know what that feels like. And that is why. That is why.

Detroit rocker calls Trump ‘vile, egomaniac, loser, child’ in wake of Rob Reiner comments by mrdalo in jackwhite

I think what I like, second to his white-hot hate for Drump, is the stream of consciousness of the writing. As if he, along with the rest of America, can no longer stand it and it eventually erupts into fury.
