Here, have a little needle felted ostrich showing her grumpy little face for today's #ArtAdventCalendar

#NeedleFelting

upi.com/Top_News/US/2023/12/08 This is what good governance gets Americans. If you live here, you are seeing the benefits all over the country of new roads, bridges, companies like Intel and Ford building new plants into states. The US is booming under Biden. Now because of the shortage of drugs he’s going to activate the Defense Production Act to increase mfg of vital medication‘s right here in America.

Still trying to find my people on Mastodon. Please boost if you:

-Like ice cream.

-Enjoy reading books.

-Have recurring dreams that you are a frog.

-Feel distraught when you wake up and realize that you are in fact not a frog.

-Spend your days studying ancient texts in search of a forbidden incantation that transforms humans into amphibians.

I am sick of the comments condemning the US for not wanting a ceasefire. Of course, the US wants a ceasefire, but they know a ceasefire has to be between multiple parties. Hamas won’t agree.

Tonight, Islamic regime agents confiscated the passports of Mahsa Jina Amini’s father, mother, and brother at the airport, preventing their travel to France. This act of fear by the regime underscores their dread of the international recognition of Iran’s #WomanLifeFreedom movement. The West must stand in solidarity with the people’s fight against this totalitarian regime.

#Boston 😡

This city. I took a train ride today. Staff made sure the first person gave ‘em some money (looked to be a Latina parent), then skipped over me and another white person, and asked the Black woman behind us to pay up.

Not sure I have more to say right now, but this story needs telling.

Given the whiteness of Downtown and nearly every group with capital here, I’m sure this kind of stuff happens daily. May our shame lead to meaningful positive change.

Mention of sexual assault on minor by man mentioned above 

...apparently this one (temporarily) resolved when just arrested today for "sexually assaulting a 14-year-old student "

Texas kids terrorized by man parading in front of schools with a long rifle. (which is legal in Texas... open carry.. so no one can do anything about it until he chooses to use that weapon on someone.) #guns #texas kxan.com/news/local/man-walks-

I don't care if this movie lampoons #Trump, makes him look like a hero, or is the most accurate biopic ever created.

I have absolutely ZERO interest in seeing this film.

[thread on the 100 mile border rule cont’d]
As with every #STFUfriday post, I'm a lawyer in the USA. These comments are based on law in the USA. Unlike most of these posts, the rights involved here apply differently to immigrants and citizens.

Everything I’m about to write is found on the ACLU’s excellent “know your rights” page on this topic. Link below.

Again I ask: if the #Palestinian cause is so righteous, why do their advocates have to lie so much?

Video of USC Professor Strauss was “manipulated online to remove the reference to #Hamas and instead suggested that he hoped all Palestinians would be killed”.

@AlliFlowers And somehow he finds the time to do all that raping and murdering too. Just incredible!
