It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school. They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

So, the Trump DOJ failed to release files concerning an Epstein accuser with claims involving Trump... but did manage to accidentally reveal that the files existed? Americans are fed up with this administration’s mix of incompetence and corruption. Time to come clean.

Everyone using a text based app thinking it's the "commons" could use some perspective. Most of America is watching videos, all of us reading text are in small echo chambers and personally I don't see the need to be in one with a bunch of Nazis.

Guy who shows up here once every couple months to defend his continued presence on Twitter thinks there's nothing wrong with hanging out on Twitter

it's also notable that historians, scientists, non-fiction authors have thrived here while journalists often *haven't*. I think there are many reasons for that that are not journalists' fault, and some that are.

American leftism will never achieve power if the response to getting peed on while taking public transit is “toughen up” public spaces should be safe and pleasant, and that shouldn’t be a hot take

The hardest struggle of parenting isn't the lack of sleep or cleaning up blowouts or keeping them safe It's when you save a really tasty treat for them and they throw it on the ground or to the dog

The tragedy of John Fetterman is that he used to dress like a slob but have an encouraging spirt, making him an Oaf of Rugged Individuality, one of America’s great oaf groups. But now he dresses like a slob and whines all the time, making him an Oaf of Misery

The decline of right wing cultural production is just due to the fact that they don’t like culture, they like the signifiers of culture, ie “classic sculpture means white people are better.” They don’t like art at all except for this purpose. They don’t even like the nerd stuff they whine about

Incredible. We got to "Is a pedophile island really all that bad?" five times faster than I thought.

Going to tell my kids this is the Folding Screen Monkies

The president is overruling science to eliminate measures that protect us from pollution and environmental damage, mainly to benefit multinational corporations that have thrown money at his campaign, ballroom, and family. It's simple corruption, and it will cost American lives and livelihoods.

Ending this operation is not enough. We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

A sudden 10 day closure of airspace in a major US city like El Paso should be THE STORY, with nothing else getting any air time until at minimum someone within the US government says what’s happening and why. It barely even registers on CNN’s site. It’s literally the last item before the page ends.

The FAA abruptly shut down all flights to and from El Paso with zero stated reason? kfoxtv.com/news/local/f...

I feel like some people forget that the actions of the Gestapo were "legal," and the actions of people who hid their Jewish neighbors were "illegal"

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

*Green card application in process and work permit, married to US citizen *Lived in US for 20 years, no criminal record *In detention for five months with no charge, despite judge approving release *He disputes ICE claim that he signed forms agreeing to deportation

BASH: Is this measles outbreak a consequence of the administration undermining support for vaccines? DR OZ: I don't believe so. Secretary Kennedy has been advocating for measles vaccines BASH: Oh, come on

great to see that even without a third of its staff the Washington Post can find the time to mind somebody else's business

Truly nothing like coming home from a long day at work, a little under the weather, and being welcomed by a toddler who's fresh off of a nap and full of oats

These third parties maybe should do more at the local level first. Just saying. Get a good number of seats in state houses, get governor seats. If that works, winning federal seats becomes a viable thing.

Immigrants have paid more in taxes than they have received in benefits every single year for the past 30 years, according to new analysis from Cato. Remember this the next time Trump and his racist lackeys call immigrants "freeloaders."

Naah, I want them on trial.

As a lame milquetoast liberal, I think we can all agree that the calm moderate stance is that ICE should be abolished and all the current ICE goons should be thrown into a pit

Calling for the general strike is totally unserious because it's always the same people who pretty obviously don't want to go to work for any reason anyway

It's not enough to be evil and criminal, why do they have to be so bad at it?

Minneapolis should press its momentum and demand not only withdrawal but start talking about the need for immediate reparations, loudly, with the total certainty that only winners have. "You have wronged us terribly and must pay recompense" and let them argue the second part.

Love doing IP theft against the only company in the world more litigious than Disney

ICE is upset that ICE isn't welcome in restaurants after ICE ordered food at a restaurant, ate it, then arrested restaurant employees, and ICE believes this is someone else's fault, do I have that right?

It is wild to me that a military incursion to steal another country’s resources so the president can have a personal slush fund in Qatar is like the 5th most scandalous thing currently happening.

The Republican Party is unredeemable. Whatever flaws the Democratic Party has, it’s very clear the Democrats are the good guys and Republicans are evil.

“An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.” newrepublic.com/article/2057...

It's finally here, this time it's definitely real: The Pivot to Being Presidential

The guy genuinely gave a shit. And the empathy vampires murdered him for it.

for me it was the fact that the author is one of the main driving forces behind the global movement to kill my trans friends and erase their existence hope that helps

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

i genuinely think if you think protesters are paid to be at a protest you are potentially the lowest rung of the ladder of intelligence. you just won’t make it

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE

This can’t be repeated enough. Not only won’t they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this. Think about the message that sends to the next ones. Nobody is safe.

I'm okay with alternatives to prison

Love how absolutely silent the 2A folks have been this weekend

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

i think this attitude — that all opposition is illegitimate and nothing we do can be questioned— is probably pervasive in the white house and helps explain why they keep making terrible political choices

I hope that being the point person for defending the very worst shit ICE is doing will be the end of JD Vance's political ambitions.

JUST IN: In a new lawsuit, Minnesota officials say DHS mishandled evidence from today's crime scene and made "astonishing" law enforcement decisions. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

a skilled ER nurse with a deep sense of civic responsibility is exactly the kind of person you want carrying a firearm. every ICE employee should be barred from touching anything deadlier than a butter knife for the rest of their natural lives.

So the “everyone should be armed” second amendment crowd is using the fact the a man was armed (maybe) as justification? Is this right?

That's easy, the NRA has established for a couple decades that they believe that only conservatives deserve the second amendment

Spent some time working with my hands to release some of today's stress. It does help, at least until I go back online.
