      Okay I was already feeling for our local pride, Chris Lillis, being the final jump and anchor for a gold medal - but to see that he had to jump after a brutal, ragdoll-like fall right before his turn is such added chaos.

      This ask is for an Ecuadorian family of 4! These Minneapolis neighbors have been affected by ICE and are in need of $1800 for rent.
      
      Can we raise these funds for this family in need? I believe in us!

      First need met! Let’s keep this going!
      
      Working in coordination with standwithminnesota.com, the second Minneapolis immigrant family I’m adopting the rent for has a total need of $1800. Can you help keep this family housed?

      NH state house passes "CHARLIE Act," which bans teaching, I kid you not, "critical consciousness" & "prohibited world-views," such as that queer people exist, or that slavery involved race, or, implicitly, that the Nazis murdered Jews based on identity. newhampshirebulletin.com/2026/02/19/h...

Second panel the hammer is hammering a nail labeled "reading and summarizing", third panel the hammer is nailing a screw saying "things that could just be a script", fourth panel is the hammer being used to spread peanut butter on toast labeled as "used for literally everything"
