Im still so fucking mad this woman is legitimately trying to make a comeback as public figure. Like she’s not just making videos about videogames or whatever no she’s actually insisting on having this place of importance in the trans community and it makes me fucking furious

monthly reminder that it is not a human right to be a Thought Leader. narcissistic predators unwilling to repent can simply fuck off forever. even if they do repent? still not owed a position of power! ever!!!

MLK was only 39 when he was killed. Growing up, I thought that was old. But I’m 43 now and I’m stunned by the burden he shouldered at such a young age. I’m also a lot more aware of how hard it is, at any age, to carry the hopes and dreams of an oppressed people on your shoulders, as so many do.

5 concerts I've been to? Rammstein The Allman Brothers Band Joe Satriani Flogging Molly Queens Of The Stone Age

Tara Knight Milkshake Duck was not on my bingo card this year and I'm very upset about it.

In light of Democrats calling for more "training" for ICE, this passage from my book Copaganda seems relevant:

People here are outside patrolling their neighborhoods in this, trying to keep their neighbors safe from lawless armed masked goons. Armed with whistles and vests, they are essentially fighting a war against their own government and its ethnic cleansing campaign.

This has been something I've struggled with since Covid tbh. I've never been able to entirely reconcile my politics with the undeniable fact that most of my neighbours would be happy to see me dead rather than inconvenience themselves for even a moment.

The anarchists tried to stop ICE 20 years ago.

Abolish ICE. Destroy their weapons and melt down their equipment. Deny their agents, employees, and bosses all government employment for all time. Remove the agency entirely from the budget and give the money to public libraries and free health care.

I went on Substack to suggest to Simon Rosenberg that there might be some valid reasons for Minneapolis activists to be suspicious of Dem party fundraising. Ooof.

This is probably the most accurate description. Someone in their mid-50s today told me that this is the first time he had thought about or been affected by politics. And that guy is actively guarding buildings and his coworkers from ICE.

First watercolor this year ❤️☄️

people in the us are going to be made to understand people and governments in the rest of the world as political agents. would have been preferable to do it before this past election but we've chosen fuck around and find out instead, so here we go

Man detained in Minneapolis dies in ICE custody in Texas www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Here’s what this Minnesotan wants you to say loud and clear every day: Abolish Ice, refuse to fund this unconstitutional government and impeach Trump. Repeat 7000+ times. We don’t need to save or reform or “train” Trump’s private Nazi army. Take it apart ASAP. No funding AT ALL.

Be cool if someone were in a position to do something about it Like maybe in a body like a Senate? In an opposition party that actually does things in opposition to the fascism? Maybe?

Shut down the government until they are defunded. Even if it takes a year.

Hearing reports that a man taken by ICE in Minneapolis died in federal custody.

CONFIRMED: Earlier today Don Lemon reported a protest at Cities Church in St. Paul, MN where they said pastor David Easterwood is Acting Director of the ICE Field Office. They were 100% right. https://www.c-span.org/program/news-conference/homeland-security-secretary-noem-on-ice-operations/667821

Twin Town Guitars, one of the best guitar shops in Minnesota for 30 years, representing the good guys. They are a small but highly respected mom & pop shop that could stay silent but they won't. We love it. Reward them with a visit. 3400 Lyndale Ave South, Mpls @twintownguitars.bsky.social

People saying nice things about Steven Universe? I think the damage that that one illiterate dipshit woman (forgot her name and I don't care to learn it again don't @ me) did to the fandom is finally healing.

The "ICE is using military tactics suited for a warzone, not for American streets" rhetoric kinda misses the point that warzones are not naturally occuring. The US military creates war zones from residential neighborhoods and the tactics are not more justifiable just because it's overseas

another benefit of using signal before you need it is though messages are encrypted they can still tell when someone started using it or if they're using it. having normalized usage before many people in a region join at the same time in theory makes harder to infer usage is part of a recent pattern

Simon is in an awkward political spot: for 25 years he ran the New Democrat Network, "a group of pro-business Capitol Hill Democrats who borrow freely from the… values of the New Economy in their quest to modernize their party and wean it away from the labor unions and old-line liberals." Not cool.

Simon Rosenberg, like so much of the Democratic consultant class, made his fortune driving the party into the ditch we find ourselves in now. People like him will abuse their power to prevent any kind of accountability for their actions—even to the point of trying to erase their own history.

Simon's job was to empower and enrich people like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel at the expense of labor unions. Arguably, he helped deliver us to our current political moment. I completely understand from a career perspective why he would want to cover up his own history!

This is the guy who keeps calling the DFL (democratic farmer labor) party the Democratic party & asking you to divert funds under the guise of "helping courageous Minnesotans" Go look up this thread at what he tried to delete, which talks about how unimportant & unworthy your labor is

lol damn every other white athlete has a picture with Charlie Kirk he really was their Drake

Another video, taken by a north Minneapolis resident from across the street…shows federal agents firing numerous times into the house, breaking a second-floor window. …at least five people, including one small child, are in a house while law enforcement lights flash outside.

Important shit that I’m still trying to learn.

Hey man, I totally get wanting to support Minneapolis, and as a minneapolitan, I thank you for what appears to be some good intentions. But LISTEN TO THE LOCALS. The STATE DFL, which the fundraiser is for, DOES NOT GIVE MONEY to the Minneapolis DFL. They withhold it, and they already have millions.

why was LB doing AI analysis on the letter why are so many rapists flocking to this i’m begging you to think about what’s happening rn

This is truly a matter of survival for people. Our city/parks/county/state have not stepped up to address the needs of so many- please know some of us are pushing as hard as we can but the system has been stacked against us for years. The way our resources are allocated do not help all who need it.

Our community is in peril. Our neighbors need our help in this time of ICE presence and subzero temperatures. Mpls has a shortage of available shelter for residents, and our city govt has not developed adequate resources to humanely house people. Please support MIWRC in this time of emergency.

oh so Zimmer fully KNOWS what he’s signing up for and signaling to everyone

If Walz wants our money he can enact an eviction moratorium so we can refocus our funds to less pressing needs. But right now we need to keep people housed because the state DFL has spine or follow through on this issue. Grow Up You Consultant Dolts

People who say things like this are cowards who cannot face criticism Simon, your campaign sucks. Many of us are out here fighting for our neighbors and disagreeing with you at the same time. We can have ideological differences without being fucking bots. Grow up and face criticism.

“How to Talk Minnesotan” is intended to be comedic but I recommend it for every autistic transplant, because no one will explain any of this to you, they’ll just get mad at you and you won’t know why. This outright just tells you the unspoken rules and everything makes so much more sense after that

rent lowering post: if you're agreeing with the news site accusing a self-published queer poc writer of falsifying a letter that she received, claiming she used ai to make the contents, and harassing her for getting scared by a threatening letter, GTFO our account

it's so cool that a significant chunk of bluesky is now unironically posting shit like "we need to stand together in these trying times, it's rough for everyone, and that's why THIS trans woman is an acceptable target, she has done WRONG, GET HER"

to be frank i’m tired of the use of flowery language like “taking accountability” being used to justify harassment and mobs against trans women. the flowery language does not fool me

Right-wing influencer Jake Lang is stuck in a window recess against Minneapolis City Hall. He’s soaked with freezing water after counterprotesters hurled water balloons at him. bit.ly/4baGhJn

"That was a mozzarella cheese ball at 68" "Wow"

You can't be correct too early! You have to wait for the stupidest people to become ready to hear it, after it's too late

"...everything i feared in 2010 about authoritarianism, the rise of nationalist movements across the world, the sprawling and more entrenched police and intelligence and military apparatus all over the world ... towards full blown genocide and ethnic cleansing in the US" - chelsea manning, 2018

seeing her describe the reality we are currently living through and get pushback by the interviewer is insane to me. bro really said "do you have specific information to support an allegation that huge."
