Every once in a while a migraine sends me to the ER (usually because of pain, but today is facial numbness so that’s new & fun), and to be able to just pop off to the ER because I have good health insurance: that is such a luxury in the U.S., and it SHOULD NOT BE. Health care for everyone, y’all.

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

I’m in a St Paul, Minnesota suburb, and ICE is all over the neighborhood about a half-mile from us and using the next street down from us for staging.

This is not just isolated to urban cores, tho they’re getting it the worst by far. People are being threatened and taken ALL OVER the Twin Cities.

You're going to see almost every american lawyer on here share this opinion and order because it is the judicial equivalent of lighting the beacons of minas tirith

I think back to Reese Witherspoon sharing how she hated getting scripts where the female lead would turn to the male lead & say, β€œWhatever should we do now? πŸ˜°β€, because that is literally never what women do in real life. We just go do the damn thing.

They won’t. They’ll just be allergic to you for a bit. I’m told the allergic part ends, tho we’re still in the thick of it with our oldest.

It is so unsettling to drive around and look up and see drones hovering above you. Two in the air on the ten-minute drive from our house to church tonight on the east side of Saint Paul.

Grabbed this pic in front of Central Presbyterian in downtown St Paul this morning. Wish I had time to get a bit better one, but I liked it so much I wanted to post.

The Purged Donald Trump’s destruction of the civil service is a tragedy not just for the roughly 300,000 workers who have been discarded, but for an entire nation.

At the end of Donald Trump’s first year back in office, roughly 300,000 fewer Americans worked for the government. Franklin Foer spoke with 50 federal employees who were either fired or forced out:

Will never be defeated

We need waves like w/ marathons. Buses of ppl after each wave gets tear gassed. Multiple shirts on hand. Laundromats ready to assist with tear gassed clothes and fresh shirts. Ppl whose only job is to hand out rechargeable hand and foot warmers.
Call me.

Congrats to Trump and MAGA for radicalizing my dad, a lifelong Republican, into a full-fledged liberal. Can safely say if y’all had run Romney or McCain, my family would not be in this situation.

He even subscribes to The Atlantic. 😱 It’s next to the WSJ on the coffee table.

It’s pretty great. πŸ₯Ή
