No shade to anyone else who has ever written a TCM Star of the Month piece, but I had the great honor of writing about AN IMMORTAL LEGEND:

Noem: We're putting cameras on the gestapo Me: How about no gestapo Noem: We're putting reflectors on the gestapo Me: I said no— Noem: We're putting bells on the gestapo

Liam Conejo Ramos is on an airplane on his way home to Minnesota. How wonderful. kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

So what I’m gathering is a pedophilic billionaire successfully worked to destigmatize race science among the academic, political, and business elite partly by sex trafficking girls. Is that the shape of it so far?

In 2023, CBP killed a young Black girl that they imprisoned by incarcerating her and failing to provide the needed medical care for her sickle cell anemia You cannot reform this apparatus which kills people no matter which party is in charge Anadith Danay Reyes Alvarez, who was 8 years old

Of course. Who else would be especially drawn to a job where you get to grab people off the street and take them to unmonitored locations? Especially if you're hiring from the ranks of cops and prison guards, themselves in jobs that attract abusers.

If you ever wanted to know what the heart and soul of community looks like, it was her.

Powerful poetry and I love the use of actual rally audio. Can we get artists one-upping each other on the song front? Dominate the non-charts?

What happens when execs and producers (and thus writers, directors, actors, etc) are only drawn from the ranks of rich white people. Any other stories becomes “genres” that need to be “elevated”. Fucking dorks…

This is really interesting! 🧪

It would be nice if ppl recognized "keeping track of" as a synonym for surveillance.

Jewish descendent of holocaust victims and survivors here. What he said was fine. Neighbours hiding minority children from uniformed government thugs in service to a nativist agenda is bad enough. I'm sure Anne would have preferred people spoke up BEFORE the Nazis got to the death camps stage.

Imagine a paramilitary gang kills 2 observers over 2 weeks, then shows up at your home to say, "You, observer, we know where you live." That's a death threat. If it happened to me or a colleague when I was a human rights observer in N. Ireland, we would've lodged complaints with three govts.

I have used literally EXACTLY this tactic, it works as perfectly as if it were tailor-made for the purpose.

The notion of charging a black journalist under the KKK Act because he covered a pro-immigrant protest at a white Christian nationalist church is just so cartoonishly goddamned sinister. It also won't go anywhere. But they're absolutely relishing it. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

The reason rank and file Dems are pissed at their party is because their party doesn't lead in key moments. The good news is it's primary season, and now's when we get to demand better leadership. I recommend everybody adopt 1 or 2 DINOs and dedicate yourself to replacing them with Dems who fight.

It is extremely exciting to be goverened by people who literally do not understand how computer make beep.

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer. In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

In the interest of accuracy, I should mention that the "5k ticks per season" datum is inaccurate, based on observations of animals in captivity. But what they DO eat is "literally anything else in your yard that wants to bite or poison you." Spiders, scorpions, venomous snakes, rodents, the works!

Because this is so second nature to the research I do, I hadn't thought about the fact that people might not realise this. Yes. That's why I try and avoid using them. (There *was* a good reason for their massive introduction in the UK during covid, but that's not why they stayed)

You gotta love this photo. It's not AI. It's real. And near everyone on the planet outside of Canada will have no idea what's going on, why, or what it means. The day before, Carney was Davos Man, who had seized the world's attention. Now this. It looks like a hallucination.

Resharing for the whatever-time-it-is crowd. My sister is a BAMF who could use a hand making sure people in the Puget Sound area can keep their beloved pets in the face of violence in their communities. Animals matter to their humans. Underdog makes sure they’re cared for.

This is usually where someone is like “heh heh libraries were historically unethical and built on stolen land and works” and 1. Shut up 2. The reason we have ethical guidelines now is to stop replicating the bad behaviors of the past. So.

I've been waiting for this. Independent autopsy of Renee Good is in. It's strong evidence against Agent Ross, given what it means about the second or third shot through the left-side window. It's the second and third shots that make the easiest criminal case of a willful killing.

People can say they didn’t vote for this but people are liars

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

can I just get clarification on who "we" is in this sentence, because it seems to me that the person who invented the resource-guzzling shit extruder and profits from the resource-guzzling shit extruder is surely the one who needs to come up with a purpose for the resource-guzzling shit extruder.

The fundamental problem here is not one of bad apples. This is what the agency is designed to do. The barrel is bad to start with.

‘Terrible things are happening outside… Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return… to find their families gone.’ Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Like this in the obit of the Duke of Westminster

"Is it true you live backwards in time?" the queen asked. "Not yet, but it will be," Merlin replied. "And then, I will have." "You speak in riddles. But you have seen the future? What will it bring?" "Fanfic." "Is that a spell? What does it do?" "It will give you Lancelot." "What is that?"

I've started printing portable water bottle based eye wash stations too (www.reddit.com/r/minnesota/...) in addition to whistles. I'll be bringing 10 to Strike ICE on Friday the 23rd for those who need.

Amazing news. Definitely get your shingles vaccine when you turn 50!

I'm watching David Suchet's Poirot and my head canon that he's a salty little queen just keeps being borne out by each episode.

Truly our time has come

Moriarty: "A police officer of color who was off duty was boxed in by ICE - she's a citizen - they demanded to know who she was & see her papers. She was going to try to record it & they ripped the phone out of her hand. That happened to a cop. That's what's happening here on the streets of MN."

Hey @whipkclark.bsky.social , you can not "reform" this. Abolish it before they come for YOU. #MApoli #DEMpoli

this is just straight up murder by the regime

FFS. This is photo is at least ~6 years old & is from Decatur, Georgia. The poseurs in the photo have zero r/ship to the Black Panther Party for Self-Defence & several are/were actors/models. Fuckin' Internet, man.

I dismissed this OP outright as clear misinfo (this image is from 2020 and those are not Black Panthers), but scrolling the replies? It's definitely disinfo that found fertile breeding ground in the only place on the internet that WOULD self-righteously All Lives Matter a Black liberation group.

this is it. this is the way forward.

This week is #CervicalCancerPreventionWeek. This cancer is highly preventable in the present day, because we know a lot about its cause: this horrid little dude, human papillomavirus (HPV). With what we know about HPV and its link to cervical cancer, eliminating the disease is possible...

Holy fuck! 🧵

Any one of these daily atrocities should result in a full congressional investigation and a disbanding of the agency. The fact that it’s all just shrugged off by those with the power to stop it is a national disgrace.
