Back on here for the first time in months to celebrate this 🎉 I am so proud of my friend and to BE her friend. She already is and will continue to be an excellent, visionary public servant. Looking forward to a more effective government in St. Paul imminently!

Oh yeah? Well, where the fuck are they, since they issued this piece of shit opinion that will allow actual children to be deported from the country of their birth, and they’re about to go on recess?

Something something irrational exuberance... oh wait, I forgot that's only a post-mortem term.

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

Album release anniversary today… Released June 25. 1984 Prince - Purple Rain #albumanniversary #vinylsky #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinylcommunity #vinyl #records #music

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

I’m at a soccer tournament and tuned out and just looked up at a tv in the hotel to see that we bombed Iran. What the fuck are we doing. I am shocked. I hate these people so much.

the political lesson everyone should take from Iraq is that you will regret being in favor of this sooner or later and the earlier you were against it the better off you’ll be ignore the media frenzy and stake your position now, it’s the right thing to do and it’s the ambitious thing to do too

It's only Wednesday and it somehow feels like the entire country except for Minnesota has somehow moved on from the political assassinations committed on Saturday. I feel insane and I'm disgusted that national interest seemed to last only as long as there was a manhunt.

This just absolutely sucks.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

How often is the average person asked to verify their identity with the IRS? Because for me it's twice in the last 8 years. And it has been incredibly time-consuming each time. They won't even let me wait on hold right now, they just say they are too busy and to try again later.

As I said a few days ago… bsky.app/profile/cram...

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

With the tragic assassination of a Minnesota Democratic leader, I’m going to underline this point again.

THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN SCREAMING ABOUT. ANY PSYCHO CAN GO COSPLAY A COP RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF WHAT THE BROWNSHIRTS IN ICE ARE DOING, WITH TACIT APPROVAL FROM THIS ADMINISTRATION. SICKENING AND TERRIFYING.

i’m so fucking fed up with this shit. when journalism outlets can’t even accurately and honestly say what’s happening to journalists—that they’re being attacked by cops and federal jackboots—then we are really and truly cooked. under scrutiny!!!!! i can’t. i can’t.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

Wolves couldn’t help but catch the great vibes the lynx left for them in the target center

Arsenal: Champions of Europe.

In the lynx we trust

Amazing that, as the country burns due in no small measure to the court's unitary executive b.s., the justices lack the self-awareness to pause their project even temporarily.

Beyond my internal crisis of faith in humanity, I look at this picture and see a crisis of the state. A healthy government acting with legitimate authority does not need secret, masked police.

This is a perfect encapsulation of the crisis of humanity that I am feeling. How can these people go about their days and not think: I am the bad guy? The evidence is piling up that a large chunk of the population really does enjoy harming other people.

Kagan is completely right. Using the shadow docket to OVERRULE nearly a century precedent is an extraordinary act.

Kagan's dissent, effectively (and accurately) characterizing Roberts and his fellow judicial wingnuts as political operatives and liars, should be the headline and lede here:

6800 people who already probably have leases for next year, spent years of their lives working to get to where they were now upended because Trump and Noem and Stephen Miller want to crush a major export sector of this economy, oh, and also a source of cures for diseases and knowledge of all sorts.

🧵 Today's revocation of Harvard's ability to enroll international is awful for many reasons, chief among them the human cost as @jeremywallace.bsky.social notes. It's also an attack on the US economy. But maybe less obvious: it is terrible national security policy. It makes Americans less safe. 1/

i should have been clear that you did have to keep shooting threes though

Would like to know how many points OKC has gotten from falling into Wolves players and somehow getting the foul

what a bullshit play

Since when is it not a travel to jump up, come down, and jump up again?

Oh wow, it’s Thursday. That’s… interesting.

love that kendrick-level hate for jd vance was a requirement to be the new pope

There is no substantive case that can be made—none—that this is just or that this is moral. Or that this is good for the United States.

Salute KAT

I, personally, did not have the Knicks up 2-0 against the Celtics. But I love that for them.

I will hate walk up and stutter step pens until I take my last breath. TAKE PENALTIES LIKE AN ADULT!

You miss 100% of the three pointers you do or don’t take -the Minnesota Timberwolves

The covidtests.gov site now redirects to a White House propaganda page attacking Dr. Fauci and spreading misinformation about covid being caused by a lab in China. I’m sure this was reported on at some point but it is so jarring to see a govt website being used so blatantly to lie to the public.

personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down

Monstrous.

And there goes my naive belief that if you just confront people with clear evidence of suffering and dehumanization, they will understand how wrong it is and push back against it. That belief was hanging by a thread already, but it's officially snapped.

A horrible story but god bless this woman so accurately reading the ICE goons for filth here

Once again, marginal tax rates are too low & pose an existential threat to democracy

Ah yes, because the administration's policy has been so predictable as to allow everyone to adequately prepare for future changes.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
