Ah, the 1950s and 1960s: go to college or university for your MRS degree. It wasn't good for women then, and it's not good for women today. #womensrights #college

I'm not crying. You're crying #dogsofbluesky #blueskydogs #dogsarebest

Minnesotan's get creative. The Art Sled Rally took place in Powderhorn Park in Minneapolis as Minnesotans continue to get creative in their resistance. ✊🏼🧊

“Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace,” [Trump] said, adding he could now “think about what is good and proper” for the US.” #WTF #Trumpnobel #SOS apple.news/A52846tuIRqC...

Yes, that nice, warm feeling of a robot doing an ultrasound scan on your pregnant abdomen or, even worse, in your vagina. Now that's progress! #womenandmendicine #noobgyns #childbirth

No new pictures. Where are you at mentally?

“When I was small, not much bigger than a pollywog,” said Frog, “my father said to me, “Son, this is a cold, gray day but spring is just around the corner.”

Here's a real president and adult.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Claudette Colvin, whose refusal to move seats on a segregated bus helped spark the civil rights movement, dies at 86.

I wish our president supported us as much as this man . . . oh, wait, he is our president. #ICE #Minneapolis #Iran

What happened to one person when they applied to ICE. Kind of scary.

This guy is great. Watch the whole video. "You guys all need psychiatric checkups. This is not normal." #Minneapolis #ICE #BorderPatrol x.com/ScooterCaste...

I can’t stop laughing!!!

Watching Sox's Ingraham; she asked where the EMPATHY was for the ICE agent who killed the woman. WTF? Said we should have understanding because a year ago he was dragged by a car & injured. He was dragged by a car because he busted the window & his arm got caught in the shards. #ICE #Minneapolis

Trump “made clear that he uses his reputation for unpredictability & a willingness to resort quickly to military action, often in service of coercing other nations.” “If no one knows what you might do, they often do what you want them to do.”

A story we need for today. Good boy, Porter. Keep getting better!

I don’t have a "bad attitude," I have a statistically accurate reaction to the current state of reality.

Lots of memories coming to me of the 60s. Buffalo Springfield puts it best. An old song for an old problem: There's something happening here But what it is ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun over there Telling me I got to beware #Minneapolis #Portland #ICE www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp5J...

This is the basic fear of bigots: If "others" get in control, they will do to us what we did to them. If that's YOUR fear, then do better.

What else could they have done? How about shooting out the tires? They were close enough to do that. The agent had no control of himself, and his colleagues had no control over him. #Minneapolis #ICEshooting #ICEmurder

Yay!

If your resolution this year is to support more independent bookstores, hi!👋🏽 We’re Bookshop.org, an ethical alternative to Amazon for buying books online where every purchase supports indie bookstores all over the U.S. 😌📚 (And our CEO has never gone to space, just saying)

Cain's low-fat mayonnaise is the best mayonnaise ever. Slightly burned potato chips rule (especially if they are Kettle chips).

So I missed the first four. Here's a recap. 1. Name: DE Riley. Book title (for now): Killer Cobbler. I don’t do New Year’s resolutions. 2. Jenny’s wardrobe when she had a job was skirt and pants suits. Now that she’s unemployed, she wears mostly jeans and T-shirts. Her weapon is her brain. 1/2

In a nutshell.

He's not going to stop. What does U.S.-military action in Venezuela means for Greenland? "They are going to have to view it themselves. I really don’t know. . . . You know, I wasn’t referring to Greenland at that time. But we do need Greenland . . . for defense.” apple.news/AqSStpWJNR52...

Mike Lee's and Rubio's justification is what I would expect to hear from a teenager caught doing something stupid.

My jaw actually dropped when I read the news this morning. This certainly an interesting way to earn the Noble Peace Prize: attack another country and extract the president and first lady. #Venezuela #USaggression #WTF

The rumors of the death of the semicolon are just that: rumors.

OMGosh, it's my day today!

This is what MAGA and their ilk fear. This view of the United States. They see "different" and "unknown" and "not like us." I see people living their lives and being willing to work for the best of all. I see people overcoming bigotry. Congratulations, Mr. Mamdani. #Mamdani #NYCmayor #mayormamdani

Any good daycare would have locked doors and refuse entry to a stranger. This guy goes in knowing NOTHING about child care. He was looking for a reception room? What daycare do you know that has a reception room? Why is his word being taken without any kind of official investigation?

He looks about as excited about the new year as I am. Anyway, happy 2026 everyone. #happynewyear #happy2026 #cats

I try not to be fearful in my old age of what is to come. But this—this is f'n scary. And it's a warning from someone I consider to be an intelligent, stable person, Robert Reich. Please watch and share. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_Vw...

In this new era, taking action on redistricting is not optional—it is essential. We know the work ahead will require persistence—but we were built to meet this moment.

This is insane. They will end up with cosplayers and basement video gamers who decide to try it all out in real life. What could possibly go wrong, right?

Amazing, no matter how often you see it.
