Kids say crazy shit all the time, but sometimes they say something so crazy you gotta stop them and be like, "I need you to understand that what you just said is so wrong, it's bad." And then spend 45 minutes constructively arguing with a 7 year old.
If you need to describe something and you can't think of the word for it, then it's probably math.
"I'm not in Minnesota -- what can I do to help?"
A list of ideas!
I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand
You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen
*Everyone has stories like this*
32 people died in ICE custody last year — the agency’s deadliest year in over two decades.
Meanwhile, private prison corporations that are building and overseeing ICE detention centers are raking it in.
Cashing in on cruelty.

Target boycott by supporters of DEI policies is ongoing. So who is still shopping there..?
Target is now allowing ICE inside of their stores. Don’t shop at Target
BREAKING: Tim Walz:
"I've issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard… these National Guard troops are our National Guard troops. Minnesota will not allow our community to be used as a prop in a national political fight."
I invite all Americans to join Minnesota in a day of unity tomorrow.
At first I was put off by the Minnesota shooting, is this another case of liberal white people seeing themselves in Renee and finding outrage?
But so many people have been killed already, this feels more like the final straw. The uniting blow. A seething rage finally boiling over.
Keep that rage.
AG Rayfield announces investigation into shooting involving federal agents in Portland
“We have been clear about our concerns with excessive use of force by federal agents in Portland and nationally. We have also been clear about our intent to investigate circumstances involving federal agents to ensure they are accountable to acting within the scope of their official duties. Today’s incident only heightens the need for transparency and accountability. Our office will take every step necessary to ensure that the rights and security of Oregonians are protected.”
The Oregon DOJ is opening a formal investigation into an incident in Portland in which two people were shot and injured during an encounter with federal agents. The investigation will look into whether any federal officer acted outside the scope of their lawful authority and will include witness interviews, video evidence, and other relevant materials. If evidence of criminal conduct is found, cases may be referred to the Multnomah County District Attorney for potential prosecution.

Zohran just went out and fixed the Williamsburg Bridge bike entrance. Just did it. No faffing, no nonsense. Bam. Fixed.
As someone currently living in a malnourished state due to Long Covid complications, the amount of “was” in the qts and the replies by people who I’m rather certain are *still* exposing high risk people to Covid is going to make me tear out what is left of my hair (yep, that’s also from Long Covid)
Walz: "If they have emails showing that I have committed fraud, you should get those! Why aren't they putting them out there? Why aren't they turning them over to prosecutors? Right now they're hiding behind a veil of innuendo. They're protecting the biggest fraudster in the White House."
Anyway... Get your vaccines while you can.
Oregon is secretly battling a measles outbreak. I'm going to be real with you, Oregon is a red state except for Portland. Portland is doing so much heavy lifting, but like every town but Portland is a sundown town. And they're heavily fash.
Just a reminder that you shouldn't be traveling to states that aren't enforcing vaccines. There's about to be a national health crisis (if it's not already happening) because the measles outbreak in Texas and... Oh it's up to four states now: Texas, Utah, Arizona and South Carolina.
Oh. I get it, he thinks he can start WW3, but it won't play out like that.
I am pleased to announce that I have commandeered my neighbor's home. This home will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, to ensure it is used to benefit my neighbor and me! Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.
Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.
Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.
It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.
I cannot wait for all the reports/anecdotes to come out about how much of a ripoff Primal Queen pills are, I mean I see the ads on EVERY app I use, it HAS to be snake oil.

Did you change his litter?? We recently discovered our cat (is needy AF) screams if her litter hasn't been changed or her box cleaned, and also screams if you don't brush her every day at 1pm. She also screams if her dry food bowl is not completely full to the top of the bowl. Just saying...
Are you a Twilight Zone girlie or a Hitchcock Presents Girlie?
It's okay if you're both, or neither, Amazing Stories and Outer Limits are good too. I just always thought I loved twilight zone, but watching it, I realized I was thinking about Hitchcock Presents. To be honest, my favorite is TFTC.
Congratulations!! 🎆🏵️✨💕🎆
“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

They let Smalls suck until he didn't suck, and then they wholeheartedly accepted him. They were lifelong friends after that.
That sort of magical connection and acceptance has very rarely ever existed in my life. But I hope I'm raising my kids to accept others the way those boys did in The Sandlot.
