This is a global far right power grab, so the sooner everybody realizes that and puts aside their deeply outdated notions around national identity, which got us here to begin with, the better. The only way out is through, but the only way through is all of us fighting these climate warlords together

If the US were a legit democracy I’d say yes- we should all carry the blame. However…we are not in any way a functioning democracy. Voting rights & access, the electoral college, citizens united… I could go on.

You know, Europeans can feel whatever they want to feel about this situation, that’s fine, but actually, I have never blamed a country for its dictator, especially in places where wealth equality is staggering and where larger powers exert enormous influence on elections.

Hi we're abstaining because it sucks ass, hope that helps

I saw a newly purchased cyber truck today and brother that is a *choice* in 2026 that tells me everything I need to know

Here’s what generations of misogynist internalized diet culture does: My 85yo mom is in the hospital after a bad fall. She has done every fad diet of the 60s-2010s. Barely eats. Severe bone and muscle loss. Extremely frail. The nurses commented on how light she is and she said “good” Fucked UP

My friends local to Minnesota, whom I trust a great deal, would like to share the following resources that could use support. PowWowGrounds - Native American Coffee Shop doing direct food and supply aid to their communities- Venmo @powwowgrounds www.powwowgrounds.com

I know there is a lot going on right now but the family train wreck I’ve been dreading for 5 years is happening and I tried *so* hard to prevent it and I am so over this eldest daughter that no one listens to bullshit.

For people elsewhere who have asked how to support Minnesota while we’re overrun with nazi thugs, here’s an excellent list of places that could use financial help. Lots of choices. Thank you so much! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I am taking a pottery class that supports a local artist’s new business and I made this and it’s impossible to doomscroll or perseverate when your hands are full of clay. 100% recommend.

Incredible that the Lakota Sioux in their homelands, and Black Americans, Hmong, Somalians, and the descendants of Scandinavians have been making the most important stand in modern times about the ideals of the US project / American experiment.

Normally this phrase is awful but “I don’t know, I don’t see color” is 100% the right response here.

Eldest daughtering so hard today, I’m a gold medal contender

La Virgen is blasting them with her laser eyes

1/ I recently wrote about Frances Perkins—FDR’s Labor Secretary and first woman cabinet member. She is best known as the architect of the New Deal but she had a lesser-known achievement: She dismantled her era’s version of ICE.🧵

I’m sorry, I identify as a *weed* mom not a *wine* mom. Wine gives my menopausal arse a headache.

my mom got tear gassed outside the 1968 democratic national convention only for guys like this to call her a "boomer resistance lib" for the last decade. she's been in the streets this whole time, what the fuck have you been doing

people will say the framers never could have predicted this, but that's not true at all, they absolutely *did* expect someone like trump, they thought congress would *stop* him, and they thought they made that clear

hey, quick question: what’s it gonna take

Brb putting “deluded wine mom” in my bio

As a high school teacher (and a human being!!!) this is absolutely terrifying.

It’s hard to know if people outside MN understand how much of life is grinding to a halt here because of Trump’s occupation. Schools have shut down, businesses are scaling back hours or closing because their employees aren’t safe. The whole city is weighted down.

Proud of my rep for cochairing this committee and holding the line on sanity. Act 73 is a catastrophic piece of legislation.

Some important new government policy that Native Americans might be interested in:

I want us to stay focused on the grief of this terrible moment, but when Black people tell you not to touch something, that is not a challenge. Some things are ours for a reason. We can remember Renee Good as the person she was and the circumstances of her murder without co-opting Black suffering.

Good morning. I'd like to invite anyone who is interested to make a small gesture of kindness today. It's up to you to decide what that can be. The key is for you to act on the idea. With so much out of our control, we can choose how to be with each other today and every day.

Here is a poem Renee Good, under her earlier name Renee Macklin, wrote, "On Learning to Dissect Fetal Pigs." It won a prize. It's really good. "it’s the ruler by which i reduce all things now; hard-edged & splintering from knowledge." poets.org/2020-on-lear...

Grateful for the work of Bellingcat, especially today.

School has been cancelled tomorrow and Friday across the city of Minneapolis, because our federal government has made it unsafe for children here.

This is a vetted fundraiser for the family of Renee Good, the woman who was killed by ICE in Minneapolis. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

This photo of @schumer.senate.gov joking around with Marco Rubio makes me sick to my stomach. Rubio and the rest of Trump's lawless, venal, evil gang are destroying America and Americans. There is nothing to smile about with these people. Schumer is so unfit for this moment. Just fucking go.

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis. Say bad things are bad.

Please go follow @mprnews.org This happened just blocks from George Floyd Square. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

It’s like these Texas A&M administrators have spent their entire lives in a cave, understanding the world only through dim shadows on a wall.

My son the IR major (what a time to be an IR major)

Venezuela has a population greater than Australia & just less than the population of Texas. Venezuela is around 350K sq m, slightly smaller than Nigeria, slightly larger than Pakistan, & more than twice as large as Iraq. Venezuela is much more mountainous than Iraq. We’ll never be in control.

A purrito for the timeline

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

It's a big day for those fluent in the good grammar of civility looking to deploy decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

Book I would swear an oath on (with this cover and no other)

Political scientist Julia Azari argues that Trump, like Andrew Johnson and Richard Nixon before him, became president in part because of white backlash against the pro-Black accomplishments of his predecessor. trib.al/hC7zFMR

Oh. Oh no.

My kid who works at a local market just told me about “Grape Lady”- 85 yo who comes into the store 3-4x a week and “browses produce” while eating a whole bag of grapes and then leaves. No one ever stops her. 😂 Honestly, #goals

I just started a 50+ hour audiobook which I am enjoying while watching my birdfeeder and coloring in my spooky lakes coloring book in my recliner. I am pro level slowmaxxing
