Midwest brain is thinking that maybe while the power is out you can maybe refocus on your inner peace and also check the tomatoes.

Imagine spending the rest of your days looking at the plastic facsimile of a face you never had, that you implanted at great pains to try to gain favor from people who would always see you as, at best, a prop.

I get the exultation at Ilhan Omar's very clear readiness to mess a fucker up. Good heavens, she would have messed that fucker up. But I also see the restraint. And that is even more admirable. Anyway, I see the appeal of a "Omar punches a fucker" holiday. But I suspect she doesn't.

We need people personally connected to say, yes, these circumstances are comparable. Because a whole lot of politically motivated people would like Americans to not recognize how history is repeating.

Me: *freeing up time dedicated to my professional organization* *only to re-allocate it to servilely tending my dog* And yet it does feel like a good trade. *throws blanket over dog for 15th time today*

It’s comforting to hear the truth being told thousands of miles away while the Trump administration is brutality and lies 24/7 and Democrats tell us to calm down. This video was posted 19 hours ago and already has 325,000 Iikes. linktr.ee/mrcodydahler 1/3

USA Today needs to retract this story. 1. The criticism is not widespread. 2. The only people attacking Walz in the article are Trump appointees or allies. 3. Holocaust survivors and historians have validated his perspective for decades.

Baby Bovino needs a Nazi costume and a brute squad to feel brave against some whistles, and meanwhile here's Ilhan Omar about to send this trash to meet his maker, then exercising restraint because she is a congresswoman, not a MAGA thug.

The least useful thing my pupper learned from her older brother: Insist on being put under the covers by grunting in annoyance while lying on top of them.

if a can of axe body spray mated with an episode of joe rogan these weirdos would be their babies

To argue that atrocities are acceptable depending on a person's legal status is to acknowledge that you find atrocities acceptable, as long as they happen to people you think deserve it. It's like prison rape: if you think "well, they deserve it", you are saying that punitive rape is acceptable.

"You raise your voice, I erase your voice." ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights. Please share our new video of what's happening in our city. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

I take to the mayoral race I see Zohran Mamdani and smile at him He does not smile back He'd be a lot more telegenic if he did, I think Zohran serves the first poll returns They pass through the back of my head killing my career instantly

we need to accept that Male Loneliness is endemic and move on

If you do not pass the curse to someone else, you will suffer the earworm for seven days.

Today wasn't The Day. But it was still a pretty good day.🎉

Do you appreciate @nws.noaa.gov's posts on Bluesky? Did you know that this account is a pilot program that may or may not be continued and even expanded to NWS field offices? NWS is soliciting comments here! www.surveymonkey.com/r/PrototypeN... Press release: www.weather.gov/media/notifi...

When Trump was elected the first time, one of my concerns was that we were, as a nation, elevating an entirely loathsome, abusive, toxic man to the position of highest role model. His behavior, past and present, would subtly shape the nation, particularly young people.

Some safety tips for the big storm! Be safe, everybody.

OK but look, most people built with that "different"? Are gonna die young of an easily avoidable hazard. I get wanting to cheer the outlier who survived, but can we please not make that any sort of example? Because we're kinda trying to keep people alive here. kthx, occ health send subskeet

This is so ludicrous it looks like AI slop, but I guess we also have to deal with DJT slop.

I am glad more people are realizing that YES, ICE are unleashed, homicidally violent thugs, and YES, we should stop this because it's only getting worse. But it kinda sucks that reaction didn't hit this level 2 weeks ago, when Good was gunned down in her car for trying to avoid escalation.

I'm glad for bluesky as an informational clusterf er I mean conglomeration, but I see an awful lot of people posting important stuff while neglecting alt text. It's so easy to make sure you don't forget this important accessibility feature.

So much of our hard-earned money goes to fund hatred (and to fund billionaires and the world's first trillionaire). A fraction could provide a vastly better life for all Americans while funding a streamlined, compassionate immigration/ refugee system to bring new generations to the dream.

Tonight, on behalf of Minnesota law enforcement, I filed a lawsuit against DHS to prevent the destruction of evidence related to the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti. DHS is not above the law, and Alex sure as hell is not beneath it.

They can't stop the signal (although they sure as hell are trying).

ICE prevented today's shooting victim from receiving immediate medical intervention. Like they did with Renee Good. They want these people dead. So they make sure they have no chance of living.

I think it is finally occurring to a whole lot of men who assume they'd be the "good guy with a gun" that there's an increasingly strong possibility that other "good guys with guns" might disarm them, pin them down, pistol whip them, and execute them in the street just because they can.

Oh my heart. Watch this one in private, with tissues handy. 💔

Noem was too fucking dumb and inept to keep her bird dog puppy leashed around chickens. I can't imagine she could begin to rein in ICE even if she wanted too. Maybe she can write checks to the families ICE destroys.

“Get it all on record now — get the films — get the witnesses — because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower, after visiting liberated concentration camps in April 1945

There are a lot of ways to be heroic. And the worthless failsons in ICE loathe them all.

So weird that if his goal was to "inflict maximum damage", he'd approach armed men with a phone. Generally the successful mass shooters snipe from a rooftop or target unarmed people/kids, as we've seen over and over and over and over.

the real systematic killing of white people has been the murder of individuals who reject their whiteness, embrace their humanity, and stand with their brothers and sisters of color against racist evil for this crime they have been labeled race traitors and killed by white supremacists for it

In a pinnacle of their vaunted government efficiency, Republicans have managed to terrorize Minneapolis AND reduce VA staffing in one shot. Well, in one shooting.

It's not lack of training: it's a history of training/ experience in dehumanizing others and treating them as targets. The difference is that now there are witnesses with phones uploading in real time, and victims that can't be erased. Now we can see what they do even with a global audience. 1/

I wonder if Joni Ernst will bother trying to come up with a sentiment other than sneering disdain, or if she'll just recycle "We are all going to die" to dismiss that she and the rest of Trump's GOP are actively working to speed that up.

People lost their jobs for not treating Charlie Kirk like a holy martyr for dying in a way the left objects to and the right, including Kirk, treat as just the cost of existing in America. How many MAGA fascists will lose jobs when they gloat about gunning down civilians in a city Trump terrorizes?

The side that claims everyone needs Christianity because without it, people would murder, rape, kidnap, abuse children, steal, etc, keeps demonstrating how ineffective claiming Christianity is at restraining bad people from crimes/ sins.

Remember when the GOP pearl clutched over violent video games warping kids' minds? Every accusation is a confession.

Numbly retweeting Bill Kristol because he somehow has more moral courage than 98% of Dem electeds these days

Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position

What percent of the murders in Minneapolis so far this year were committed by Trump's gestapo?

We have citizen patrols checking empty cars like this for children and animals that were left behind in the negative temps because that’s where we are at as a society.
