This is a must listen interview - the owner of Twin City Leather talks about the reality in the ground in Minneapolis and how the queer community is leading the way in mutual aid. 31 min in - podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w... Amazing work @pupamp.bsky.social @mrkristofer.bsky.social!

Fuck yea

Today a man was killed by the federal government and they are trying to erase what happened, in an age of cell phones. It won’t fucking work.

So tomorrow Minnesota explodes? Ughhh

No American with any semblance of a conscience is happy with what happened today. There are way more of us than there are of them.

The ACLU of Minnesota filed this, along with a number of local Minnesota firms. All of them deserve praise for taking on this work, because it is high risk.

BREAKING: Minnesota plaintiffs ask federal appeals court to allow protections for those exercising constitutional rights following today's ICE killing of Alex Pretti. They ask the 8th Circuit to lift the admin stay issued in the First/Fourth Amend case. Background: www.lawdork.com/i/184842027/...

right now the floor for me is abolish ICE and put every agent on trial and the average elected democrat is like what if we told them to cut it out

ring ring ring ring ring ring ring— melt the ICE! 🎵

I really deeply wish certain people could get it through their heads that chanting explicit support of hamas outside a jewish event made it completely impossible for their political allies to condemn what was said in return and the land sales without both-sidesing the issue and making it pointless

Has a court ruled on whether, under Section 230, a web site’s AI generating content based on a user prompt is treated as the web site’s speech? Seems to me it should be, just as if the site operator published speech answering someone’s question. BWEPRA

The good news is that there are lawsuits likely being prepared, right now, to try and do this.

I don't usually believe in holiday miracles, but one happened. @sfoasis.bsky.social has been saved! Oasis is such an important LGBTQ performance and event venue in our city. So this is really great news. www.sfoasis.com/blog/a-holid...

BREAKING: Judge James Boasberg rules for those deported under the Alien Enemies Act on March 15 — certifying a class, finding the U.S. maintained constructive custody over them at CECOT, finding they were not given due process, and ordering return or that such process be given by Jan. 5, 2026.

Holy shit - towards the end of this reel, Mayor Lurie makes it sound like he has no confidence in the ability of the PG&E grid to handle the storm coming in on Tuesday night. I hope he pushes for PG&E to get out of SF. Could be a career defining achievement. www.instagram.com/reel/DSjPews...

Bari Weiss went from ‘mouthpiece of pro-Israeli right donors’ to ‘mouthpiece of the strongest fascism our country has ever seen’ at lightning speed.

Tonight in Union Square in San Francisco these assholes are having ‘Palestinian Caroling’ at the same time as the menorah lighting for the first night of Chanukah. These ‘activists’ are not interested in building bridges and changing minds, only being disruptive and virtue signaling.

I never EVER want to read an article about how Trump is proposing a policy (like giving out $$$) that encourages Americans to have kids. All of it is overtaken by death cult shit like this

yeah AI Ben Garrison is incredible

I just subscribed to Apple Music for this live mix by Four Tet and Fred Again. music.apple.com/us/album/nov...

Our National Director, Jonathan Jacoby, is deeply concerned by the divisive and hyperbolic response from some corners of the American Jewish community to the election of Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.

This is incredibly bigoted. I’m an interfaith relationship and happily raising three young children who are proud to be Jewish. Judaism is integral to my life.

I'm hard-pressed to think of a non-Jewish Democratic politician who has spoken to Jews with more respect and empathy than Mamdani. The fact that many Jewish establishment orgs are going after him while staying relatively mum on resurgent Nazism is a disaster, both for American Jews and in general.

Winning elections makes me so horny

Scott attended our neighborhood menorah lighting every year that he has been in any sort of office, and he is a real mensch. LFG!!!

Kevin Parker made an album about the loneliness, boredom, isolation, normalcy and joy that creeps in when having several children. Which is really interesting and commendable! It is too bad that I don't see any critics engaging with it at this level.

One of the biggest victories of the No Kings events today is that the cops in many major cities were in solidarity with the protestors. It gives me hope that we’re not headed for oblivion

Never forgot the millionaires and billionaires that in this moment decided to choose a dictator over democracy. They should not be allowed to show their face in public without being shouted at to acknowledge this fact.

Westside strong! No Kings!

Hell yes, Pittsburgh. Love Yinz. No Kings.

Ron Conway really pulled through in a meaningful way here, and should be praised.

Dunking on No Kings is one of the most cynical, empty and harmful things you can do right now. Building mass communal support against fascism that attracts normies is necessary to win. It does not prevent you from also creating a more focused antifascism org.

I'm on a WhatsApp group of Gen X fathers from my synagogue (w/ some Millenials and Boomers sprinkled in) and I'm inches away from asking 'WTF is the synagogue doing to prepare for the potential occupation of San Francisco by the National Guard'? and 'Can we commit to not sharing any data with ICE?'

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

Last night was 'warm' in San Francisco (low 70s), and Hayes Valley was hopping. People were out eating, drinking and socializing like it was a Saturday night. The city is coming back, everyone is vibing.

Meta’s AI strategy is… wild. Why would I ever want a ‘cartoon’ version of my fine like black tattoo? And Meta AI turned the tattoo into… a penis?!?

My heart goes out to my UK Jewish brothers / sisters / sibs facing the unspeakable on this high holy day. Every time I go into synagogue, I note where the nearest exits are, and think about what my escape plan would be. It absolutely sucks. www.wsj.com/world/europe...

To be fair, this jacket is goated and I would 100% buy it to wear to high holidays if presented the chance

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

his popularity being underwater includes the sympathy bump. a plurality of respondents took a look at a guy who got his throat blown out on live video in front of his wife and said to a stranger: that fucking guy sucked.

HE IS MINUS TWENTY PEOPLE HATE ALL OF IT

I have 3 kids under 8 who love to watch Disney Plus. We've been subscribers since the service started. I just canceled our subscription due to ABC's cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel. Will you join me?

The federal government is dictating what speech is permitted. *DISNEY SAYS 'JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE' TO BE PREEMPTED INDEFINITELY
