I know this is legit, and as a millennial, I love to start with an exclamation! lol but because of all the spam out there, I totally double-checked to make sure this was not a bot before I smashed that follow button.

Minneapolis... love and more love to you all tonight. 💔

600+ people still showed up for Legal Observers training in Minneapolis tonight. In addition to those currently on patrol. This minute. While the vigil is happening in South Mpls.

they are recruiting for the worst, bottom-of-the-barrel chuds imaginable and those chuds are behaving exactly as you'd expect

Been saying it for a year (privately, then publicly after leaving The Washington Post): This is fascism. It's here. It is happening right now.

Begging Democrats to stop making statements that imply that annexing Greenland would be okay if they had cheap eggs there

like they are a death cult, from promoting animal fats over seed oils to trying to make their base comfortable w/ child labor while deregulating the stuff that protects adults from theft & fraud to the explicit deaths by cop & government agencies Don’t know what to do but naming the evil is a part

“ICE just needs to be traine–“ ICE needs to be abolished. Hope this helps.

A cop shot a person three times point blank and instead of the streets being deserted. They filled with people yelling at the cops [who could have shot them too].

In a very real way the muted response to the racism stoking this state violence which made Minneapolis a target can no longer be tenable for anyone claiming to oppose this.

lol the issue is not "lack of training" it's lack of conscience.

Left voicemails for my senators and a realtime comment with my congress rep's receptionist. There's not a lot I can do at them except tell them that I'm prepared to withhold votes and donations to any party or candidate that isn't rising to this moment.

Frey: So, they are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense. Having seen the video of myself, I want to tell everybody directly: That is bullshit.

Today once again proved that everyday citizens protesting their government are braver than the titans who own the largest media corporations, run the biggest law firms and lead the most powerful technology companies.

Mayor Jacob Frey: “To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”

Frey: I have a message for ICE: Get the fuck out of Minneapolis

I just stopped in my tracks finding out about Minnesota

Talk like this. Plainly. Honestly. None of this “I invite my friends across the aisle to join me”. Treat them like the people they are: unwilling to do anything to help unless you’re wealthy

Mob boss. Not a President.

United Church of Christ & Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) issue joint statement condemning "unlawful" attack on Venezuela, adding, "These actions do not create the conditions for a safer or more peaceful world." www.ucc.org/ucc-and-doc-...

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

100% I am not more of an asshole because of required gender/culture courses I took in college, like they are the ones where the readings live with me & I thought I was just checking boxes at the time There’s a reason I have, in good faith & not for the lulz, called myself a recovering misogynist

BREAKING: An American military operation in Venezuela killed 32 Cuban officers over the weekend, the Cuban government said in the first official acknowledgement of the deaths.

I am "oh wow columbo is pretty hot" years old

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize. “If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

The death toll from the attack on Venezuela is now at 80, per Venezuelan officials. That includes civilians. Every article about the attack, or how the US somehow claims it will run the country, should mention the fact that, you know, people died, including civilians. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

The count is now up to 80 - including both civilians and security force members. blacksky.community/profile/did:...

For those of you who can’t get outside today, here’s a little armchair birding for you. #FindTheBird Beginner-level, because we all deserve a win sometimes. 🪶 (If you can ID it, the prize is a free hour of self-esteem.)

This annual marathon reading of Moby-Dick under giant actual whale skeletons in New Bedford is so awesome, if you ever get a chance to go

A dozen paragraphs in: At least 40 Venezuelans killed, and a half-dozen American soldiers injured. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/u...

You ever think about how the Roman Senate kept meeting centuries into the reigns of emperors. Hanging out, shooting the shit, giving speeches, and play-acting that their positions of privilege remained positions of power.

“There was zero plan, except causing pain,” said one U.N. official about the Trump administration’s decision to stop funding the group with no notice or communication. “And that is not forgivable.”

I am so tired of being on this merry go round of murder.

My villain origin story is going to be people saying "but he's objectively evil" JUST LIKE THEY DID WITH SADDAM HUSSEIN IN 2002 and 2003. WE KNOW BUT THIS IS ILLEGAL AND CORRUPT.

none of this is legal. none of this is normal. feel free to tell anyone who says otherwise to fuck off.

Nothing I can do online* so I’m going to go clean up my physical clutter, to clean up my mental clutter, so I have the margin to be kind in my own life. It’ll be but a pebble on a stream but better than being a bomb. *some people can galvanize for good so this is 100% not a slight at being online 🤍

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

It's illegal for the president to relieve student loan debt. It's completely fine for the president to unilaterally decide to have the head of a foreign nation black bagged on foreign soil.

we can’t arrest / hold N or P accountable, in fact, we criminalize those who try, but we can do this bullshit and, yes, I’m posting through my feelings because even though I don’t have the expertise to intelligently comment, does feel like being on the record is important, if only to my soul

it really doesn't matter whether maduro was "bad"

All solidarity to the people of Venezuela and the spirit of anti-imperialism there. This is so fucked.

Based on how Trump does things this seems like the most likely outcome. With massive caveat that Miller et al try to expand their CECOT/concentration camp network in Venezuela. As ever anyone who doesn’t aggressively try to stop them (Jeffries/Schumer/Wasserman-Schultz etc) is responsible.

A few years ago I was reading a local paper in St Paul and it was (shamefully) the first time I learned about how there was a very loud anti-war movement prior to WWI, and how after we entered the war those criticisms became illegal. It’s with that knowledge that I say Fuck War.

I am a noted Rian Johnson apologist, and I really think WAKE UP DEAD MAN is him cooking at his highest level. The scene with Father Jud talking to Louise is especially so beautiful.

Every new network executive: What if we hired a new person to move the network to the right. Then we might get some Trump supporters watching

Y'all could have learned from CNN that it doesn't work

Hopefully we get past peak very soon. Wear a mask, vaccinate, ventilate, wash your hands .
