Racist grifter Frances Widdowson showed up at the U of Lethbridge campus today, “just asking questions” about this. The students SHOWED UP and for about 7 hours made such a ruckus she could do nothing but glower.

My birthday was yesterday! (I'm pretending it's the whole weekend, though, bc man it's been a rough year so far.) Anyway, we're broke, we have bills, if you feel like helping please do (and if you want a Tarot reading, DM me!)

This. Kamala could’ve lied about her intentions to stop the genocide and just pretended that she would be more progressive than Biden and I think it would have been enough. But she insisted on running for president in 1992 for some reason. Terrible political instincts.

fwiw to everyone sharing this, the photo is from a NYT article from last year and was taken at a protest in Los Angeles www.nytimes.com/es/2025/06/0...

I keep being told it's the progressives who have to unite with the centrists in the DFL and that we're the problem, but we didn't fucking boo one of our most popular congressional reps in front of a bunch of other elected officials in the state! What the fuck.

Kash Patel, a podcaster selected because of his fierce loyalty to the President, told FBI agents not to investigate the details on Renee Good's shooting because it would contradict the President. Fact matter less than the King's opinion in a personalist regime.

You should read this. It is the type of detail that experts in authoritarian regimes see as telling. In this case, state agents are offered impunity from higher ups, and the legal system is rendered inoperative as a mode of accountability. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/u...

DAY TRIPS: The African American Heritage Monument in Kendleton honors an early Freedman colony.

I'm also doing a lot of this stuff because this happened at a convocation for *elected DFL officials* and it's wildly inappropriate

I can’t really tell a valid reason why HCSO and State Patrol declared unlawful assembly and is now declaring everyone under arrest at Whipple. They just tackled a woman to the ground.

Failing to make it to a court appearance – which is routine for attorneys and witnesses – leads to 19 million additional nights in jail each year for people accused of crimes. 19 million!

I said for a long time the Dems would win if they switched out Biden, but when I said that, I wasn't expecting them to wait til the last minute to do it and then for Harris to do things like say she was staying the course and sneer at Palestinian activists asking to speak.

My entire 2nd semester of US history follows the essential question: "how do workers gain rights?" The answer is always, "through civil engagement, protesting, striking, and electing members of that social movement". It's never "I'll vote for the lesser evil".

I was once in a meeting with an NSA analyst who had previous been in the FBI. She told me, "Stef, all crime begins with somebody picking up the phone." That's what happened. Someone with power picked up the phone. Read Epstein. It happens. There is no doubt it happens.

Boosting for a long time mutual <3

Let’s begin with a definition, by example, of dysfunctional governing: the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the United States Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary.

Bottom line, anti-woke isn't a personality trait, it's a red flag

The main thing I have realized in these conversations is that the fixation on the leftists is not just about shifting blame. It’s about the inability to answer questions like “What is your plan?”, “What is your vision of the future?”, and “What will you need to change to get there?”

Blaming leftists allows you to keep talking when, politically speaking, you have nothing to say.

The Neopets TRPG is going great

An 18-month-old baby held with her parents at a South Texas immigration detention center became so ill last month that she was rushed to a hospital— then sent back to detention days later, where she was denied medication doctors said she needed to survive. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Just hire all the laid off reporters. Call it the Washington Citizen or something. Doesn’t seem that hard.

Every argument starting with "prelapsarian precolonial non-patriarchy" always ends with "and that's why real women of <culture> don't need feminism" and I am somewhat tired of so many of you losers falling for this trick approximately six squintillion times.

the modern equivalent of the ford pinto. they should be pulled off the road.

There is about to be a push of claiming Nithya is the progressive champion we need. I’d like to remind folks that she switched up on the grassroots base that got her elected in 2020. She spent most of her initial time in office sucking up to Nury Martinez (saw how that worked out lol). Beware!

Nithya supporters love to cry about “leftist infighting,” especially when you bring up topics like her supporting increasing LAPD budgets. Expect more of it!

There’s an increase of ICE activity today in South Minneapolis including Powderhorn, Phillips and East Lake Street. Tom Homan wants our community to put its guard down but we won’t be doing that. 1/

ICE blamed this guy’s eight skull fractures on a brick wall. They actually beat him with the same metal rod they used to smash car windows. “There was never a wall.”

Bluesky is getting absolutely roasted on Twitter for their treatment of Palestinians which is really ruining their snarky meme campaign to get people over here and couldn’t happen to a worse company

2000 - This is Nader's fault 2004 - This is Nader's fault 2016 - This is Jill Stein's fault 2024 - This is progressives fault Somehow, it's never the fault of inept Democrats who seem to refuse to mount a real opposition nor implement popular policies. Democrats are not entitled to votes.

this may be the single most insufferable thing about the radical centrist caucus - not just extending good faith to obviously bad faith people but demanding everyone else do the same and chiding them when they don’t

People in my notifs keep asking how Trump will benefit from TrumpRx dot gov, looking for a financial angle. I think that undervalues Trump's desire to 1) plaster his name on everything 2) replace "Obamacare" with "Trump" — he clearly despises any Obama achievement bc of racial animus

People are being tortured at South Bay. #bospoli 3 young men aged 20-25 were assaulted Monday on the same unit where Shacoby Kenny was killed *by some of the same officers* & *with lethal force.* A dozen others were lugged to solitary for trying to de-escalate the CO violence. #AllEyesOnSouthBay

we can't have people like this among us, let alone armed and in possession of an ostensible license to kill

Ok friends, I need your help! I got tons of messages asking for the link so here it is! I finally get to run a race with matching funds too! In district donors get a 12-1 match for the first $5-$50 and there is matching dollars for up to the first $250! secure.actblue.com/donate/yuh-l...

Is anybody ever gonna take a step back and realize the "Russia Russia Russia" people — derided as lunatic wine moms — were actually underplaying the foreign influence stuff, and the loud people who kept insisting it was all fake are now saying Jeffrey Epstein was kind of a cool guy?

Look, Nazis know they’re fucking Nazis, they just keep telling you they aren’t so you’ll argue with them about it instead of stopping them.

Alright, where are my gifted kids at? You were smart and you never had to study and then you went to college and suddenly had to learn a new skillset overnight, that everybody else had years to learn, or flame out spectacularly? That’s what talent is like.

This was inevitable, and it is terrific 🤘 #NaziPunksFuckOff

They scooped @katz.theracket.news and @marisakabas.bsky.social (and perhaps others) some 30 months after the fact, but yes, it’s true.

More #NotExactlyNews.

NEW: It’s difficult to account for the abuses trans immigrants face in ICE custody after Trump destroyed safeguards, oversight agencies, and data about detainees. But 3 trans migrants told me what it’s really like: Medical neglect. Solitary confinement. Harassment. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

I’m not arguing with no account defending AI. My grandmother lives in an area being environmentally compromised currently by an ai data center. I remember the color of the lake before they built it and the sludge I see in it when I go to see her. Shut the fuck up about “the benefits of AI” forever.

They are in one of the best places in the world to eat food but can't go out either because Italian food is too exotic, or because they know they would be booed. Not just the VP, not just abroad. Key members of the Trump cabinet live on military bases (Hegseth, Noem, Rubio, Miller).

Hey folks, the first edition of Notes on a Genocide is available for order as an e-zine or in print. All proceeds to my lovely friend Wafaa Alothmani, whose writings have really moved me over the past six months. susanlanigan.com/notes-on-a-g...

Yeah it is funny to see a bunch of people say there was a ceasefire on Oct 6th 2023 when a 21st century record number of Palestinians had already been killed by the army and the settlers in the oPt from January 1st 2023 to that day.

New: Gov. Hochul's campaign won't commit to returning $17,500 in donations from Brad Karp, the Paul Weiss head who resigned this week after his Jeffrey Epstein ties became public. She's not the only NY politician declining to make that commitment, tho. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

LOL ANDREW FUCKING CUOMO.

Wes Streeting should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity

did y'all know that the lady behind the notorious "false memory syndrome" lost-in-the-mall study that has been used to discredit thousands of CSA survivors also provided "expert testimony" to ghislaine maxwell's legal team? and also glowingly reviewed abigail shrier's new book?
