Preach. A wheelchair is not a tragedy or a prison. Disability is human.

I had a nightmare about my deceased ex husband last night. Very weird like something out of Twin Peaks. I wonder what my unconscious is trying to tell me?

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.

Historical analogies are arguments. So when someone makes an analogy between today and the Holocaust, or today and anything, think about they are really arguing for. What is the analogy trying to get you to do? New at @startribune.com

And what does the term "ranking Democrat" mean? It means they can talk, but can be shutdown by the committee chair, who is GOP. People love voting third party and acting the fool, but they don't understand enough civics to know the consequences. larrydeluca2005.substack.com/p/republican...

Is Trump About To TACO On His Minnesota Invasion? Sounds like could be, here's hoping! By @marciej.bsky.social www.wonkette.com/p/is-trump-a...

The party that has spent unlimited resources and energy getting states to pass laws to allow citizens to openly carry loaded weapons anywhere - now believes that exercising this right is permission for law enforcement to murder you. Honestly, how dumb do they think we are?

This article nicely explains why I’m feeling so strange since learning of my ex’s death. It’s a relief to have a name for it and know I’m not going crazy www.eterneva.com/resources/di...

Think about how although Pretti was a gunowner, when he saw someone being attacked his first response wasn't to use the gun but to help them up and ask them if they're ok. It wasn't even on his mind that a gun would be useful. Compare that to the paranoia of rightwing gun culture.

The images and stories coming out of Minneapolis are extraordinary. We can't say we did not know what was happening. Lots of people are putting their bodies on the line to make sure we do.
