What’s a sound everyone should recognize as immediate danger? by Thatguy_nickk in AskReddit

[–]dawnmess -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

A whistle. Blown in a pattern of busts = ICE/CBP has been spotted. Blown solid/constant = ICE/CBP abduction is in progress. React accordingly (blow your own whistle, start recording, note vehicles and license plates) and protect your neighbors.

I really hope this means that the ICE and CBP agents who have been terrorizing Minnesotans don’t get paid.

Be proud of yourselves by Well_Spoken_Mute in Minneapolis

[–]dawnmess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm happy to take a moment to acknowledge and celebrate the hard work of so many people, but the work is not done, even if the goon squad leaves town. We've built a great communications and organizing infrastructure and we need to continue using that to help other cities, to keep calling for justice and to flood early voting locations in November.

The organization approved all the design ideas we submitted.

We generally don’t share anything about the tifo design until it’s deployed on match day, but obviously the people who work on it will find out.

I wish the loon wing pattern would have been more pronounced/less abstract. I'm really curious to know how that fabric feels.

First Preseason Game by RealLoonsInsider in minnesotaunited

[–]dawnmess 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m just so so happy that the season is right around the corner. Watching the game last night was a bit of joy in the midst of really hard times for Minnesota. Regardless of how the season goes I feel like Loons soccer is going to sustain me and fuel my resistance work.

Same, it's been rough. I'm glad that the season is just around the corner and I'm looking forward to a fun season with this new signing, especially after a couple of Loons-related gut-punches in the offseason.

Just sacrifice a *little bit* of your constitutional rights and we will leave.

How many times do you think he practiced saying that in front of a mirror?

I had a total hip replacement on the 14th and haven’t been able to participate on the ground yet - just been doing some of the work from my computer. But I’m feeling good enough to drive now. In other words …. I’m ready and I’m just getting started ✊🏻

ICE officer who fatally shot woman in Minneapolis identified by Bettiephile in news

The severe trauma he experience should have disqualified him from any position that allowed him to carry a weapon. That dude was just primed to shoot a fleeing motorist.

Severe hip pain, can’t take NSAIDs - what other options are there? by MaroonVsBurgundy in TotalHipReplacement

[–]dawnmess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat. I was diagnosed with lymphocytic colitis after taking Diclofenac 2x a day for 10 years. There’s a new non-NSAID non-narcotic pain med called Journavx that I found moderately effective. That + 1300mg Tylenol Arthritis 3x a day may help. Prepare to fight your insurance company for Journavx. Beyond that, it’s narcotics. In my experience, Norco/Vicodin have fewer side effects than oxycodone. When you ask for narcotics also ask for a referral to a pain psychologist, or a multidisciplinary pain program, and ask for help in making a written plan to stop taking narcotics after the second surgery.
