If you want to see an example of what life can be like in Minnesota, keep an eye out for Alice White’s upcoming documentary about her sled dog team. Here is a trailer. Alice is a gem of a human and her dogs are fantastic. Watch, share, and follow for more.

I think today is as good a day as any to remind folks that we're going to fucking win. "Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against love." badfaithtimes.com/only-power-c...

Gonna see a WHOLE lot of quotes from I Have a Dream today. And fewer but still a lot of Letter from a Birmingham Jail Spend some time with the rest of Dr. King's oeuvre. It's worth it

Folks, if Richard Hanania now wants to fight the administration, racism and fascism, you let him do it and don't grind his nose in all the shit he did to make it happen until after the fight is won. You don't trust him, you don't rely on him. But you don't shit on his claimed conversion. Yet.

I’m not to blame but I am responsible. I wrote this during the protests & riots after the murder of George Floyd. What I knew then is what I know now: that we all matter or none of us do. Please read this. And act accordingly. Courage. Use it. www.sunjournal.com/2020/06/07/i...

complete misapprehension of what "minnesota nice" is

Broncos head coach Sean Payton details how it all went down with Bo Nix's injury as it happened, what happened on the sideline as Nix came back to the bench for the game-winning field goal and learning of the details of the bad news after the game:

Look, like, I hear a billion people responding to this with “parliamentary democracy” and the thing about it is that it’s kind of where the republicans here are and it’s kind of the problem?

Yes! I've been telling people this. One real Minnesota cold snap, and these baby boys are going to fall apart.

Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week. ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good? BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

These powerful pics are really, really good reminders of why it makes sense for those opposing Trump to reclaim ownership of the American flag. If your audience is the giant lower-info middle of the electorate--and it should be--this seems like a really good way to get to them.

It's fine. Wordle 1,674 4/6 🟩⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟨🟨⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Now the actual military has to dress like it’s not the military cuz federal law enforcement agencies dress too much like the military

When we say these dogs are born to run, this is what we mean. 💕

“Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE” is a sentence that shouldn’t exist.

What makes this statement by Emmanuel Macron so unprecedented is, for the first time, a leading European ally is equating Trump with Putin. “No intimidation or threat will influence us - neither in Ukraine, nor in Greenland, nor anywhere else in the world.” EVERYTHING has changed.

This is so awesome, but I recommend reading the story because of how disturbing it is. The defendant was homeless with nothing but a cat toy laser pointer, and was targeted at a very high level by the regime for prosecution, thankfully with his public defenders and a jury to save him.

Since I weirdly posted this as the second post in a thread I didn't mean to create, I'll try it this way. I don't encourage reading word salads, so I highlighted the relevant portion. I advise against underestimating the power of sled dogs and their mushers.

Look, I never encourage reading the word salads that a certain US President (gag) spews on a different social media site. But, this was brought to my attention and I needed to share. It's a bad idea to understimate people who fight moose and usually win.

Black Clover is extremely shonen but it did have this great line. Hitting a wall and then surpassing it is integral to building resilience.

Overall take, the dull "should Biden have run again" convo (framed as a stumper for Dems) has taken up space that would be better used for a "what did Biden do right and wrong" convo. Compare to Rs, who reframed 2017-2020 as a golden age when gas was free, economy boomed, and COVID didn't count.

Would absolutely love to know the average income for those applying for the tax credit. Anyone is eligible, although they say priority is given to those at or below 300% of the poverty line ($96k for a family of four). I'll guarantee we're subsidizing private school for rich people.

One of the best forms of peaceful resistance is to make sure that each and every one of them truly understands how deeply despised they are. This is excellent.

The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”

We had zero customers yesterday and have a Japan trip to pay for, so I couldn't give as much as I wish I could, but I gave. If you ever once lamented the lack of general strikes in this country, you really need to chip in. This is how we get them.

crazy that the website that I randomly decided to put together at 10AM yesterday has had over 25k unique visitors in 24 hours. please keep sharing with your networks.

If you have somehow missed my myriad of posts about this, you only have 14 hours to get your Otter Run merch! If you haven't missed them, you only have 14 hours before it's over.😂 www.customink.com/fundraising/...

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

Now that’s the crush the MAGA demons and salt the earth energy I like seeing

American children now must deal with the constant threat of being shot at school AND the threat of them and their parents being shot and brutalized by ICE agents.

Y'all can has a little Lumi as a treat.

I foresee a whole new set of no bills from grand juries in Minnesota.

Seems as if this works — if employers start firing people for standing up for their neighbors and fellow humans — than a remedy is publicizing the identity of those employers.
