The human costs of the evil Trump and our country have unleashed. And the other humans who do that evil.

Someone gets up in the morning, goes to work and serves food with worms and mold to these children.
Someone gets up in the morning, goes to work, denies them medical care and writes lies in their records.
Someone gets up in the morning, goes to work, and then anonymously issues official statements accusing 5 year olds of plotting terrorism.

@Fragglemuppet
For me, casual speech -- chatting, ordering food, getting directions, arriving to hotel -- is different from formal speech e.g. in business or academic contexts. Casual is easier than formal.

Most of my writing has been more formal -- fedi is actually a nice chance to chat in writing in the 2nd language.

Reading is the easiest cause I can go at my speed, use dictionaries, etc.. Chatting is the next easiest. Formal speech and formal writing are hardest.

A story about my friend's work. And I'm feeling pretty proud of her!

Plus great photos.

@inthehands cosplay is an accurate term.
Doesn't mean people who cosplay in other contexts are bad.
But, these guys are pretending to be what they aren't. And are dressing as part of their pretense. Only they have guns and are told to use them.

From the middle of a thread about trump awfulness of the day,
I didn't realize Bernstein's Mass was premiered at the opening of the Kennedy center and was commissioned by JK Onassis. That's pretty cool. And an awesome piece of music...

The US is training itself to confront ICE: "We've passed from fear to action".

Whether with whistles or rapid response groups, every day more neighbors are learning how to confront the assault from the Government of Trump.

Just opened registration for our Tai Chi classes that start in Jan. A new beginning class as well as all our regular schedule of classes.

Since this is the only social media I'm on, I guess the place to post it is here!

If anyone does see this here in the Fedi and signs up, let me know!

Maybe Mamdani can tell trump that Zelenskyy has joined M's administration.
And thus supporting Ukraine is part of making NYC great again ....

@inthehands isn't this Jackson writing, not Sotomayor? At least that's who Geidner attributed it to...

a bit of self-promotion:
we did an interview with Voyage Denver Magazine on our Tai Chi school.

This is what happens when the Dems run terrified from being an actual opposition party, when the explicit strategy is to try to avoid calling out the trump fascists and describe the fall of the country as a "distraction", when you refuse to make a stand, when you vote for trump nominees and the fascist agenda, and when the only "fighting" is in fund raising letters.

There are very real issues where Polis, Bennet, and Hick could be making a stand. Rather than issuing press releases about their latest bipartisan efforts ...

However, the data published by the UC-Berkeley researchers does not fully match ICE’s public representations.

The agency arrested 232 people, according to the data. Most of those arrested during that time had never been convicted or charged with a crime

@ai6yr I have to admit that every time I've loaded moose meat onto a small plane, I've eyeballed the weight and been very sure of exactly how much moose meat I loaded ...
