Remember in 2020 when Biden/Harris won and somebody did that terrible edit of Avengers Endgame with Biden's face over Captain America's? I'm dreading when it's done with Minnesota and the response to ICE.

Stella Carlson said that before the shooting, the man was helping vehicle traffic get around the area where ICE agents and observers had started to gather.
"The gentleman I was standing next to was focused on helping people who were coming into Nicollet Avenue understand that they needed to take it slow and helping them get through. The ICE agents approached us, told us to back up, back up. I'm not even sure why we were helping them, if anything. And I got on the snow bank, and next thing I knew, they shot him," Carlson said.

I want to believe that the U president will do what's best for employees and students, but I haven't really seen evidence to support that.

I feel like the GOP needs to be careful about mentioning grindr.

Encouraging thought: I'm chronically online. I see so many assholes in comments supporting these modern day Gestapo fascists and yesterday when they could have shown up IRL to let their support be felt, they stayed home. In the words of Phil Coulson, they lack conviction.

If the Minnesota GOP hadn’t brought in a YouTube huckster to equate locked daycares to widespread fraud, trying to dunk on Tim Walz, the ICE surge wouldn’t have happened. This occupation is the fault of the Minnesota Republican Party, and responsibility should be laid at their door.

I also remember this. Every time I see "the dogrates guy is a comrade?" And it's like, yeah, dude's got principles of steel tempered in the flames of Twitter.

This is my blood
I marvel at the design of our weapons. So sophisticated
that they can transform any man woman or child into
a terrorist. Writing in their flight between launch and
concussion an entire alternate history of a life.
Just as the cop’s bullet convicts you of a crime. Its
presence in your body evidence enough that it always
belonged there.
A violent transubstantiation.

Yeah, man, the only difference between your career and Mark Rufallo’s career is the political stuff.

this man has blood on his hands and everyone who supported him and excused him has blood on their hands and I do not want to hear a single fucking Democrat with any position other than "impeach and remove him immediately"

he and his MAHA movement are child killers

Can't wait for excellent legal analysis from @notalawyer.bsky.social on this one.

I believe it's all correlation bullshit, but fwiw they're saying mothers who take acetaminophen early in pregnancy causes autism in their children. Already developed and birthed babies are in the clear (as far as RFK jr is concerned).

I don't care how much of a garbage can of a human someone is, they don't deserve to be murdered. It should be the result of a stupid publicity stunt, like a severely infected diaper rash or having an aneurysm after trying to define what a woman is.

it’s possible to 1) note that the shooting of charlie kirk is the direct result of a culture and politics that he spent every single day of his adult life cultivating, without 2) celebrating the act of violence itself. but some people are going to do 2, and also anyone doing 1 will be accused of 2.

I have a birthday coming up and I know exactly what I want. My dad got Nixon's resignation so there's a family history.

I live in a suburb with 5(?) IPG properties. This is fantastic news and I hope a beginning for better management of their decaying buildings as well.

I've been really stressed at work lately so I keep my spirits up by day-dreaming about the day *it* finally happens and how I'll want to celebrate.

I learned that Mark and Melissa Hortman's dog Gilbert will be lying in state with them and that knowledge has wrecked me.
