Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

USRowing's trans-exclusionary policies only divide us all Amid institutional erasure of their autonomy, trans athletes deserve to be openly embraced by their teammates and representatives.

If elf has a million haters im one of them. If elf has a 1000 haters im still one of them. If elf has 1 hater its me. If elf has 0 haters it means I have left this world. If the world is against elf then I am with the world

they should be marched off the pier

studying sucks until the point that the math starts to tickle my brain and then its fun and i like it

The real counter to "people are too stupid for democracy" is that the elites are by all appearances even stupider. The average person falls for TikTok cheapfakes meanwhile the average elite thinks transgender sports are a tractable policy-based concern and that AI will replace all jobs in 2 years

in 2020, these guys who fancied themselves the world's true leaders bore witness to the power of a large-scale social movement so big that it could shift public policy and strip power from them within their own organizations. it undermined their entire sense of themselves and they lost their minds.

some people are asking what the better messaging would be, & it's calling the republicans weird perverts who want the government to go around inspecting people's genitals. walz was on to it before he got pulled backstage and told to knock it off

Every single day I have to say it; stop giving MS money.

hi, cis folks!

if you’re calling democratic reps about the maga murder budget, you should *specifically mention* it’s unacceptable to pass a bill blocking funding for lifesaving transition care FOR TRANS PEOPLE OF ALL AGES.

if you want to stand with trans people, this is a big moment. 🧵

reps.fyi

And that's what these guys are, these guys that marched in Charlottesville, these are the people who are aware of the unspoken premise of this sort of zombie neoliberalism that we're living in, which is that we're coming to a point where there's gonna be ecological catastrophe, and that it's gonna require either massive redistribution of the ill-gotten gains of the first world, or genocide. And these are the first people who have basically said, "Well if that's the choice, then I choose genocide", ", and they're getting everyone else ready, intellectually and emotionally, for why that's gonna be okay when it happens, why they're not really people. When we're putting all this money into more fucking walls and drones and bombs and guns to keep them away, so that we can watch them die with clear consciences, it's because we've been loaded with the ideology that these guys are now starting to express publicly.

People can criticise Chapo, the Dirtbag Left or whatever else you want to call it (#whocare), but the fact is that Matt Christman had these people’s number a decade ago. They think and believe the exact same things as the far-right, but the right just got there quicker and put it more bluntly:

it might be too late for this particular screw tbh

i did this today and thought about this post while i was doing it

glass beachhhh and maybe she/her/hers too

i think the one thing we are missing in the AI discourse is that every article/post is funnier if you posit that the acronym actually stands for “artificial insemination”
