- Reposted by Sarah AveryAnd the current moment, where the right are revealed as what they are - fascists, thugs, criminals, grasping swine who would loot the fillings from your teeth - means the death of Sensible Centrism. Because if your opponents are Nazi sex offenders, then who are you supposed to compromise with?
- There are already brain swelling cases among the kids in the SC measles outbreak. Measles encephalitis can permanently disable and kill people. Now that there's a measles outbreak in the ICE concentration camps for children, it'll be happening there, too. www.encephalitis.info/types-of-enc...

- Reposted by Sarah Avery‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." … She offered me $2600 to self-deport. I refused. I wanted to talk to my attorney. They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

- My grandparents, who lost their first child to measles encephalitis ten years before the vaccine was developed, would have given anything for the safety antivaxxers are throwing away and trying to outlaw. Measles can kill, and it's an awful death. Please get vaccinated and vaccinate your children.
- Someone who knows more about corvids than I do should write this short story.
- My students have loved this story so much over the years.

- I dream of a near future in which Van Hollen replaces Schumer.
- Reposted by Sarah AveryWhile independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

- @vanhollen.senate.gov Yes, this! I’m a Maryland constituent who’s proud every day of how you’re representing us. Please consider demanding Miller’s removal as a condition for funding DHS. Fight the good fight!

- Reposted by Sarah AveryThe biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
- I love forcing Amazon’s supply chain to support the resistance in the Twin Cities. Here’s one way to indulge your appetite for irony:
- Did you miss out on your last opportunity to bankroll the fully stocked pop-up leftist supply depot?? Do you want to send free hand warmers, winter gear, first aid supplies, YOU NAME IT, to the Twin Cities? This is your moment. Let's ride. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... (non 'zon in follow up!)
- A thread worth reading:
- Reposted by Sarah AveryCBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today. This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

- Reposted by Sarah AveryPam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.
- @washingtonpost.com @nytimes.com If y'all don't like being called out for your craven dithering, you can step up and do journalism. It's always an option. The video shows what the video shows, and you're still leading with quotes from the fascist administration.

Bencosme dragged the Hmong grandfather outside in the frigid air wearing only boxers and a blanket.

- This whole thread is worth reading.
- Reposted by Sarah AveryThis is insane not just the explicit "go break the 4A" substance but how they knew how bad it was, acting in guilty paranoia to cover it up and suppress the written evidence. This isn't how running a government agency works. This is what a criminal conspiracy looks like, because that's what it is.

- Reposted by Sarah Avery'Why aren't they in the streets' is answered almost every day in my small town by people in the streets! Rather than asking 'why aren't they in the streets' it's worth asking 'why isn't your media showing them in the streets' and 'who is served by downplaying resistane in its myriad forms.'
- Where do they think we've been since before the frickin' inauguration? I'll tally up my hours in the streets against my national fascist beside their hours against their national fascists, and we'll see who has the grounds to say what.
