Frey: I think the impetus has to be on all of us to recognize that we've got more guns in this country than we have people, and it's on all of us to recognize the truth and the reality that we can't just say that this shouldn't happen again, and then allow it to happen again and again

We know too well the devastating consequences of such action—families torn apart, livelihoods destroyed, and multigenerational trauma inflicted on a community for decades. #AlligatorAlcatraz #NeverAgainIsNow

“Congress” didn’t pass this murder budget. Republicans did it. Republicans did it without a single Democratic vote in the House, without a single Democratic vote in the Senate. Be precise and give, uh, credit where credit is due

BREAKING: The United States of America

Unfortunately, nobody with the power and ability to do anything about it is going to do anything about it.

“They were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness…and let other people clean up the mess they had made…” -- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (April 10, 1925).

Now they’re just fucking with us. Christ on a cracker I’m tired

Notice to all corporations: if you try to pass the cost of tariffs on to me I will "pass" on buying your product. As far as I'm concerned this is a "you problem"

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

I wish I were blissfully ignorant. Does anyone know how I can be that? I’d take just ignorant at this point.

Ohh "America First" was a hit list

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

I am feeling quite liberated from ever retiring or purchasing new or good things.

Oh no whatever will we do

If you live in South Dakota start blowing up John Thune’s phone. Make his staff work. You could call Rounds too, but that seems like a waste o’ time honestly.

Frankie is not impressed #caturday #catsofbluesky

Huh. (Also, no, Marketplace isn’t an NPR program, but that doesn’t really matter, does it?) Mhttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/business/media/npr-pbs-fcc-investigation.html?unlocked_article_code=1.tE4.oJdR.Y-Hp35mjpHg1&smid=bs-share

162 years ago, 38 Dakota men were hung in the largest mass execution in our nation’s history. The sacrifice of these riders reminds us to recommit to accountability and healing for the Dakota people. www.mprnews.org/story/2024/1...

The number of Minnesotans who lost their heat or electricity this year because they didn’t pay their bills hit a 10-year high this year, as more people struggle with inflation and rising energy costs.

It’s almost as if health insurance is nothing more than a Ponzi scheme

Years ago I heard someone on NPR refer to online comment sections as “a playground for the id”. Stuck with me

With his 31-yard catch, Justin Jefferson passed Randy Moss (6,743 receiving yards) for the most receiving yards by a player in his first five seasons in Vikings history. #MINvsTEN #Skol

Here’s a few things you can expect temporarily when there’s an outage: - “Invalid Handle” everywhere - Likes don’t seem to work (they’re just being slow) - Your post isn’t showing up (same, just being slow) - Random errors or blank screens, the usual app broken stuff

Folks, just want to be transparent: the number of reports currently coming in is huge. We're trying to keep up, but are a small team of volunteers with unrelated day jobs. Apologies in advance if reports are acted on more slowly than usual. We are working on scaling the team.

It’s that time of year again www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/its...

Starter packs are genius, but I was surprised there wasn't a list of them for people to find. So I built it: blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack... The website monitors the packs being shared and adds the ones it finds to the database. Missed your stater pack? Message me and I'll get it added.

God grant me the serenity to accept I am cooked, The courage to say fuck it we ball, And the wisdom to know when we are so back

The lessons of history about second-term presidents and second-term Republicans in particular are not just the stuff of textbooks. They can offer guidance and perhaps even temper expectations.
