Rule of law, basic norms, the social contract in general, so many people took for granted what stable functioning society does.

Grateful to the Twin Cities for showing the rest of us what needs to be done

I keep seeing leftists from outside of Minneapolis say they’ve seen all this before, and no, you haven’t. I’ve been at this for 30+ years and I haven’t either. It’s not what you’re picturing. This is something else

The GOP’s nearly century long project to roll back the New Deal in its entirety includes erasing any artistic or cultural legacy of it that would preserve the memory of it. This is uncultured barbarism yes, but it’s also an attempt to erase history.

There is no level to which these heartless shit-for-brains won’t stoop to inflict cruelty and suffering.

I have never been one to keep my head in the sand about what has and what can happen in this country. But this shit, boyyy. I will never forget nor forgive for as long as I live.

I hope that cold snap in MN slows them down.

According to rapid response ICE appears to be hounding a local elementary school with agents as the VP speaks in defense of ICE. Observers and parents organizing to get kids out safe

I Just Can’t Believe Folks Was So Damn Stupid To Vote That Man In. I Mean, Did Yall NOT See The “MASS DEPORTATION NOW!” Signs They Had At The Rallies? Did Yall NOT See How He Treated Immigrants His First Term???

I Feel Horrible Seeing What’s Happening To The Immigrant Community. We Had A Chance To Stop This From EVER Being A Thing But Everyone’s Hate Of Black Americans Got Us ALL Fucked Up Right Now.

These people think that they gain acceptance by stepping on us when the truth is that these people hate yall more than they do us. We tried to tell yall.

I wrote on the shameful situation re: the recession of a deanship to Emily Suski at the University of Arkansas Law. What was the reason? Prof. Suski signed an amicus brief supporting trans rights. The Arkansas legislators admitted that was it! Horrible outcome. ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...

Go fuck everyone who didn't get rid of his ass in the second impeachment.

Dems should absolutely treat Republican colleagues with contempt. That they don't is because they think they themselves will be fine. That Republicans wouldn't have gone through with J6 and imprisoning Dems. They would have. With a smile.

People don’t understand the value Anna’s Archive provides. It’s a publicly available archive of a very large amount of written works. People don’t understand the costs of keeping an archive like this going. Charging AI companies to access their library which is already publicly available is a win.

we give garland a lot flak, and rightfully so, but looking jack smith's opening statement, i think we're all way too kind letting robert mueller slink back into the shadows

* men and women physically deform themselves into goblin-like creature when they join his circle you can make a giant list of these vaguely ominous signs

then again: * there was a thunderclap over the RNC in 2016 when he was nominated * an bald eagle lashed out at him like the barking dogs in the first terminator movie * his second swearing-in was one of the coldest winters in DC history

the president slowly physically decaying and manifesting what appears to be some kind of stigmata on his hand while becoming more insane and evil would be dismissed as a hacky writing device

you just don't see language like this in right-wing spaces anymore, quite shocking to see it.

The ICE List website that went viral last week for listing information about thousands of ICE agents actually relies heavily on info that apparent DHS employees have posted publicly themselves to places like LinkedIn—even as Kristi Noem threatens to treat revealing agents' identities as a crime.

Conservatives largely subsumed legacy media with a very simple scam. If there is a controversy, no matter how transparently fake that controversy is, then legacy media must give equal space to both sides. With enough money, you can create a national Flat Earth Movement.

It costs you nothing to not involve yourself in other cities politics or their elected leaders.

"They're hunting our patients!" We're in a national emergency. And we all need to step up. I know that a lot of these legislators are busy & perhaps aren't seeing the extent of this tyranny, but if they're willing to give more money to ICE, they're nuts. They are voting today. Call 202-224-3121

I’m going to reiterate that RFK Jr. will not stop until he takes away every vaccine recommendation and thereby reduces access to them. This interview with Kirk Milhoan is one of the most disturbing things I’ve seen in my entire career. He seems to think that a polio outbreak would be just fine.

Once a politician turns 65, they should be eligible for a Congressional advisory board with no voting power. Similar to how some board of directors operate. You get the benefits of old people (wisdom, experience) without the problems (being frozen in time past a certain age, health problems etc).

The key to a diverse, well-run organization is allow old and young people to counterbalance each other's naturally occurring, age-related bullshit.

I hate when people claim church goers are being scammed by these pastors. They are not. They are getting exactly what they are looking for. They are getting the results of what they claim to believe with their eyes wide open. Leave them be.

Hey so Frederick Douglass specifically advocated for black people to leave America because it was so dogshit to build up other black Republics like Liberia and Haiti and then the US purposely fucked those places up too so they had to come back. (I'm a descendant of those people)

Stop identifying with the founding fathers and start identifying with the people they enslaved and genocided and MAYBE that can get you some inner strength, community, and mental fortitude that doesn’t require the American Myth to keep going

Some of y’all would have heard Frederick Douglass say “what to the slave is 4th of July?” and would call him a buzzkill and the sole cause of your lost motivation

The Civil Rights movement kicked off when it did because Black Veterans were coming back home after liberating the world and were still expected to step off the sidewalks for white folks.

That dude completely overreacted to what Mikki said and now a bunch of people who don’t even go here are playing telephone and making it all about themselves.

By and large people would do well and good to stop assuming they can insert themselves into debates among the citizens of a country they do not live in.

You’re very far from the original locus of this conversation. No progressive would have an issue had you been awarded asylum. These people are talking past each other about an argument no one made.

Evil party filled with evil people and supported by evil journalists and evil voters

As long as ICE agents are financially incentivized to make arrests, their reckless brutality will continue. It’s why they’re going after people regardless of status. Follow the money 💰 www.ibtimes.com/trump-reward...

a bunch of words to say you scared to get in the field.

Not to be outdone, the U.S. Department of Labor recently released on Facebook the following message: “One Homeland. One People. One Heritage. Remember who you are, American” — a phrase that strongly echoed a slogan used within Nazi propaganda.

A recent poster, shot from above, shows knights in armor, swords in both hands, in a circle, sword tips pointing inward, and a decal “THE ENEMIES ARE AT THE GATE. JOIN.ICE.GOV.” The agency is also using memes from popular video games to further their recruitment efforts.

ICE is now actively seeking to recruit extremist young men from gun shows, Ultimate Fight Club venues, rodeos, martial arts centers, and other haunts for men who tend to have a far right political vision.

Sometimes you just gotta look at the age of people saying stuff like this and smile.

I’m tired of spending my whole life watching evil people win

ukraine was sending wig et. al. things to test if russia would find out, and every single time vladimir was in the know.

You know what law was intended to prevent state legal regimes from racially profiling families and abducting children who might be caught without a parent? The Civil Rights Act of 1866. You know, the law to dismantle the Black Codes.

remarkable how much contempt this white house has for the nation’s historical and artistic treasures

People magazine stating things so plainly and accurately in their headlines reeeeeeally underscores the failures of many other news outlets.

In our conservative estimate, 41 percent of Grok’s images — or 1.8 million — were sexualized depictions of women. Separately, CCDH analyzed how many were sexualized images across genders and ages. Their findings: an estimated 3 million images, including more than 23,000 of children.

I'm pretty sure the people born between 1946 and 1959 mostly want to fucking stop doing this but hell, where are all these people born from 1975-1995? How much of that is "Boomers don't retire" and how much of it is "Millennials don't show?" cuz I'm sure it's both and!
