Tough but fair

Believe Women is an epistemological stance. It doesn't mean you assume that every single woman is telling the truth and women never lie. It means you understand that in the system that we exist in, there's much more risk and pain for women coming forward about abuse than there is anything to gain.

One of the reasons I have difficulty enjoying (men's) soccer is that, as a pro wrestling fan, I can accept faking injury in a way that fools the ref but is obvious to the audience — but this is a *heel move*. Ric Flair’s gimmick doesn’t work if every single wrestler on the card does the same thing.

like this wasn’t a GOOD choice but any useful temperature map (at least for Earth weather) is going to use an arbitrary y-axis, because the alternative is something like this:

Just saw someone refer to Mitch McConnell as "Rigor Tortoise" and that's today's reason to live. 😌

sorry. sorry about this. i don't even know what this is supposed to mean but i felt compelled to make it

We still haven't found the bullet 🤷🏻‍♀️

400 masked cowardly Patriot Front bros walking through D.C. once, then fleeing ain’t shit, peeps. They are a tiny fetid drop in the American bucket. Remember Minneapolis at -20F. We are bigger, braver, and stronger. By a mile.

Happy July 4, neighbors

We're so starving for consequences we're reading Vatican press releases

"This character is hard to play" "Oh like he has a complicated moveset" "No."

Not exactly sure why the Dr. Evermor Sculpture Park is getting coverage here right at this moment, but it's very good, and if you're traveling through southern Wisconsin for some reason it's absolutely worth the detour.

Everyone go read "A Year Without Sunshine" by Naomi Kritzer

TWIN CITIES Armed Citizens Against Tyranny is a HONEYPOT action. No one in the Twin Cities, including the MN Gun Owners association, knows anyone supposedly in this group. Local orgs are STRONGLY urging folks to STAY AWAY from their planned "protest." acatusa.com

Tactical Man-A-Lago™ Face, For Him

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

‘Hush!’ said Gandalf from the shadows at the back of the porch. ‘Evil things do not come into this fast food chain; but all the same we should not name them. The Lord of the Wings is not Frodo, but the master of the Dark Tower of Buffalo, whose power is again stretching out over the world!’

It's just gonna be alternating studies between this and UBI until the heat death of the universe.

you don't say? at some point we're going to acknowledge what every study ever on this subject has said, right? right? www.independent.co.uk/news/science...

Evergreen and for the whole country. If this ends before they get to your town, you’ll have some meals prepped and you will have made some friends. You cannot lose.

When this is all over, we should close down Lake Street from the lakes to the river and get takeout from all the restaurants that helped or closed or struggled, and just have a big ol' dinner party. Open Streets but make it a potluck.

don't mind me, just finding lots of bread crumbs showing Epstein and the League of Pederasts were a driving force in pushing transphobic hate. This email was sent in October 2014, at the start of the current anti trans political campaign and astroturphing.

I will not buy the claims that ICE has bigger guns when the lives of our children are at stake. In general, if local law enforcement can arrest residents who break the law, then they can arrest ICE agents who break the law. 3/

I'm here in Minnesota and my heart goes out to the people protesting in Portland because holy shit are those federal agents unhinged oh my God. 😫 The sheer volume of riot munitions is unbelievable. The unrestrained violence of that cop riot

If the guy you just met at the March For Billionaires suddenly wants you to start building bombs and shit, he's 100% a fed. Solidarity with Bezos forever but practice opsec.

DOCTOR: I told him he needed to get out to a show, that was how he would cure his depression. CHOTINER: So you learned this technique in school? DR: No, not— listen it was good advice. Pagliacci was in town. C: Right. Is it standard to give advice before learning a patient’s name? DR: Now look

Every donation link, every GoFundMe for rent support etc., is—in reality—a fundraiser to make sure parasitic landlords with no moral compass can keep extracting wealth from vulnerable people. We have to do it, and it’s great we are. But, it doesn’t change the fact it’s immoral and deeply fucked up.

Y’know, if Chotiner called me up for an interview, I actually would take it! Not because I think I’d somehow come out of it looking good, but because my public abasement would be one small step towards atoning for the enormity of whatever evil I had done to make Chotiner call me up for an interview.

Ochoa is a Border Patrol agent who joined CBP in 2018. Gutierrez joined in 2014 and works for CBP’s Office of Field Operations. Records show both men are from South Texas.

In 20-goddamn-18. She cares SO much about young girls.

One way to think through the victory in Tarrant County, given that Rehmet ran in labor issues, is that the voters were offered two competing theories of solidarity and chose collective bargaining over white supremacy as their mode This shift is possible and important to aim for

While Joaquin Castro was doing this, Klobuchar was posting about the price of coffee going up 15%

One kidnapped child rescued. I’m crying with relief. Now we wipe our tears and go out to fight for the thousands of other children still caged by this depraved regime of human traffickers.

I try to focus on one message per day when I yell at my senators’ answering machines, and I think today’s will be “demanding a full nationwide ban on the use, possession, sale, and/or manufacture of chemical weapons”

The unspoken rules for protest in the US have been, for decades, that if you have a big tame sign-holding march, it's safe to bring your kids. If you're not perceived as threatening their power, they'll leave you alone. Which means they perceive their unpopularity as a threat to their power

Friend, speaking as someone who has been organizing on the left for over 20 years... ...we absolutely have an antisemitism problem. It's not unique to us, all of this country has an antisemitism problem. But we are not exempt.

Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.

Never forget that the people who convinced you trans people are a threat to your children all belong to a network of child rapists.

“ope, didn’t mean to actually help there” yeah, we figured

pizzagate and qanon were not onto something, they were orchestrated by pedophiles to make accusing people of pedophilia make you look insane so that they could continue doing pedophile shit. fucking christ

Me as a radical college student: we should tax capital gains at the same rates as earned income! Me as a sedate middle-aged homeowner: TAKE EVERYTHING OVER $10 MILLION, OR TAKE EVERYTHING OVER THE NECK. THEIR CHOICE

It always feels like all the wrong people die, but I think it’s because there are far more beloved people than there are bastards.
