i designed this sign yesterday and i normally don’t like…claim my work, but i just want to talk about the power of a good podium sign. put your message there! it ends up in every photo! have it mounted on foam so it stays straight for photos!

I'm very proud of all my colleagues on the ground, both at @mprnews.org and at other local and some national media orgs. Everyone out there is doing the work to show the public how important a free and independent press is to democracy and community.

Hello! I once almost died of carbon monoxide poisoning. If you feel queasy and suddenly exhausted don’t lay down for “just a minute” - run outside, breathe fresh air. The space between “I feel a little weird, I guess I slept bad/ate something weird” and death is like ten minutes.

me making jokes on the internet

I want to format these all into beautiful things to be shared across the internet, but until I have the time for it, if you are from Minnesota and need to know that people love you and have your back, that you are inspiring people all over the world, here are some notes.

DOES THIS EXIST AND IF NOT CAN SOMEONE HANDLE IT

If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed. Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.

Today I AM SEEN

"No, your honor, you don't GET it, everyone HATES me now, and that's weird. It's gotta be illegal or something...."

If people have to tell a more honest story about George Washington it means they have to tell a more honest story about America. And if they have to tell a more honest story about America it means they have to tell a more honest story about themselves. And many people simply don’t want to do that.

It’s not so much that Trump & co don’t think slavery was important, they want to remove this history precisely *because* of how important it was. They don’t want people to learn about slavery because then people would understand how it continues to shape the landscape of inequality in America today.

I'm glad to share that my post-op appointment went well. I'll be cleared for exercise in about 3 weeks. In just enough time to pack and get ready to move. I'm touring apartments beginning next week. I'd like to clear another $2000 by 2/15. Can you help me to keep going? gofund.me/2c3e2358a

Racist Bro even had a Snidely Whiplash-lookin’ mustache. Like he was going to tie a damsel to the railroad tracks after the debate.

The debate article is excellent btw

🧵 A story about not giving up that has haunted me for 25yrs: In his autobiography, "Dusk of Dawn," W.E.B. DuBois writes about heading to downtown Atlanta to meet with a newspaper editor about an article DuBois wanted to publish abt a Black laborer who'd killed his landlord's wife in self-defense.

Drake's lawyers gonna scam every last dollar from his wallet that he hasn't already lost on 12 leg parlays

If I had to read it SO DO YOU

If what I've read is true, it's a lot like the UK royal house. Speeches, ceremonies, hosting functions, cutting ribbons, opening parliament. Also, planting the first rice seedling of spring, every year. How smart you have to be for any of that, well. I'm sure we all have opinions. :V

The official announcement is LIVE: me and @hainingart.bsky.social have teamed up to bring you NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH, an original comic series about just how well we know our neighbors 👁👁

Now suppose there’s a really big hole in it

I for real thought this was a new cover for @scalzi.com’s “When The Moon Hits Your Eye.” I need a nap.

New from me on states' rights in the zeitgeist (gift link): www.theverge.com/policy/86588...

I wasn't sure what to expect from a group of Democratic state AGs, but I definitely was not expecting a long monologue about Ruby Ridge and the Boston Massacre www.theverge.com/policy/86588...

They're trying to murder these people. This isn't the first time, and it won't be the last. In Canada, they called them "Starlight Tours." The intention was to take folks and dump them in remote places with the hope that exposure would do the killing for them. This is attempted murder.

Who keeps casting him? Apparently, he does. Allegedly, he attaches himself to a project as executive producer and puts up some of the budget as long as he can star in it.

When asked questions by reporters, his answers don't always make sense (when asked if he was full while eating cake and takoyaki he replied, "It is said to be hot!", And while visiting a Tamagawa University, someone pointed to the water in a stream, and Prince Hisahito asked, "Is this a square?").

Uhh... not to be that guy but... I'm pretty sure the Titantic didn't, you know, "turn around."

Japanese press is extremely respectful towards the imperial household, so getting reliable information that's been independently verified is tough. But the most persistent rumor is, Hisahito is stupid. His grades have never been good, and he's been caught plagiarizing schoolwork at least once.

Hey man. No need to bring my knees into it. Besides, my ankles are the real problem—you know what, forget I said anything (the nurse says it’s time for my pills)

I can’t I can’t I can’t I’m gonna pass out laughing NO ONE EXPLAIN THE JOKE TO THEM. NO ONE DO IT

Designer: “this is an extra large!” Me: “hi, that is a size 10, that is in no way an XL. I can fit one arm and MAYBE one boob in there. Should I just pick one? Is there a suggested side?”

Long Story Short: The current emperor has only one child, a daughter, who by law cannot inherit the imperial throne, because woman. If nothing changes, the Chrysanthemum Throne is very likely to wind up going to Prince Hisahito of Akishino. Who. Is not a great choice.

In the grand scheme of things, this truly doesn't matter, but ICYDK and maybe need a break from The Horribleness: The Japanese royal house situation is worth watching, nowadays, if you're a filthy little drama-vulture.

People are acting like fucking fools in the replies and quotes. I would suggest people SIT WITH WHAT SHE IS FACTUALLY SAYING instead of going nuh uh that is all un-American how dare she, as you play no True Scotsman. Jesus fucking christ.

ESTABLISHED SCIENCE DOESN'T LIKE YOU EITHER, KIRK

Science is on the cusp of saving so many lives but the richest country in the history of the world is like “nah…take supplements”

One of the reasons I am so insistent that everyone remember that only 22% of the US population voted for Trump is that the Christian Nationalists want the myth of a mandate in circulation. We need to reject it. They never had a mandate, and their coalition is shrinking.

To block modern gun laws, justices only need to invoke concerns loosely tied to the 19th century.To pass gun laws, legislators must rely on history, and be sure to set aside any history the Republican justices wish to forget. talkingpointsmemo.com/cafe/the-sup...

They want you to think that there is nothing in the past but shame so that people flinch away from examining history. If you examine history, you will find good people. At every time in history, you will find them. Maybe not enough, but they were there. You can be this generation's good people.

If you needed further confirmation that these awards are in no-way merit based, his FIRST EVER nomination.

Everybody knows Sinners is in theaters again this weekend, right? You’re welcome!

Liam is one of four Columbia Heights, MN school district students who have been taken by ICE in the last two weeks, the school district said. Liam's teacher: “He is so kind and loving, and his classmates miss him. He ... just brightens the room. All I want is for him to be back here and safe.”

CALL FOR MUTUAL AID: My tattoo artist was detained yesterday with a friend. The agents broke a car window. ICE still has custody of my tattoo artist's phone. They're raising funds for legal support to get property back and fix the car. V3nmo: @ kayla-felten "lizzie and ray" in memo.

And thanks to all the people reminding me that the term Quisling is actually coined after a European politician who knuckled under to Hitler. Given how widely understood "Schumer energy" seems to be now on both sides of the Atlantic, Schumer should be a little worried too.
