Every single Democrat who says there are "real questions to be asked," who humors the right's propaganda machine, who wants to "take parents' concerns seriously" is contributing directly not only to the pogrom against trans people but to the sexual assault of your children.

Mamdani officiates Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding at MSG. Tim Walz gives a speech that ends racism and world hunger. Hillary sends an email to turmp that just says, “you’re fired.” He is then perp-walked into an old taxi cab and driven to prison. July 4th is forever known as Swift Day.

I have too many followers

But instead, the left should do the exact opposite of this.

“Maintain the status quo at all costs.” Is another way of saying “I endorse [gestures widely] all this.” Do we even have a party committed to change anymore?

Turmps America is a dumb place

Instead of bans, why not reign in the data collection and exploitation that’s used for abusive advertising and algorithm targeting to minors?

Finally

The Iran-US deal just signed rolls back so much progress. All the sanctions and frozen assets that would’ve pressured Iran to stop violating civil rights are gone. And the agreement requires billions for reconstruction funding, essentially making the US an ally of Iran.

Heather Cox Richardson pointed out this week something that I think a lot of people missed. Macron somehow convinced turmp to sign the agreement between Iran and the US at the Palace of Versailles. Just like the treaty that a humiliated Germany signed ending WWII.

The trope of dumb bullies mocking the smart kids for liking science is this whole administration. We’re living through a middle school drama. Also shrimp treadmills.

Huh. So we’re just saying whatever now.

Getting real tired of hearing dems say they want to “tear DHS down to the studs.” Uh no. We need to get rid of it completely. It never functioned to stop terrorists. Its only function was to cause pain. And now it’s being used as a Gestapo. If USAID can go through the wood chipper, so can DHS.

As Matt Bernstein says, it’s time to become radically pro-transgender this month.

"Black Rifle: Tastes like absolute shit but the guy that roasts it has killer not gay abs"

Minnesota DFL Observations: The DFL still has trouble understanding within the greater goal of resisting authoritarianism is including minority groups in everything. This means being pro trans and pro Palestinian shouldn’t be controversial. But apparently it is

A man named Markwayne, let's just pause there for a minute, wants to stop international travel into several of the world's biggest international travel hubs weeks before the World Cup plays over 50% of their matches in those cities, including the final held in New York. Brilliant. No notes.

All eyes need to be on Delaney Hall. To the courageous defenders of democracy and human rights out there protesting: thank you. You embody American values, human rights, and decency in an era when those in power abandon all 3. Thank you. Keep it up. Solidarity from Portland.

No but Kamala was too woke or whatever. This is definitely better

The next thing is way worse youtube.com/shorts/_nz15...

BREAKING: The judge in the $1.7B slush fund suit has dismissed the case, but she says THERE IS NO SETTLEMENT OF RECORD. As I said earlier, the media must stop reporting that this slush fund is a settlement. It's just plain THEFT. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I’ve never seen Liz Oyer this anger before. Rightfully so youtube.com/shorts/4bnF4...

It’s fine

As bad as this is, I promise if this isn’t the last straw for impeachment the next thing will be worse

This is the horror cherry on top of the egregious fraud, waste, and abuse sundae. DOGE fired the people who send NIH money to research labs—which is a complicated process—so now even more labs are going to go under. All while Jay Bhattacharya goes on a podcast and says no NIH funding was cut.

We are living through the country’s most corrupt administration ever. I can’t even find the words to describe the hyperbole.

So this has been happening in Mn..

Hey Trina Swanson in Minnesota’s CD8 race. Still think ICE and DHS serve a vital function?

Simple things that have big impacts

Goodbye, get lost, and we'll see you soon.

This is a map on the N. Minnesota border. The green is the BWCA. Colored cubes are mining leases. But the entire outline is the watershed. Notice the leases inside that line. So, yes. There are effectively mines proposed inside the BWCA

Kinda amazing to see someone miss the target here so badly. ALSO not one word from Klobuchar about the bill overturning the mining ban in the wilderness last week.

Kinda neat. Visit from our resident trash bear.

A young Pete Stauber would later go on to perform the same literal moving-of-the-goalposts to sell out Minnesota’s wilderness to exploitive executive extraction and extortion. Evil.

In this moment the house is voting on HJ res. 140. A bill that would overturn protections against mining in an area of northern Minnesota that is a treasured wilderness. The BWCA but also the surrounding Superior National forest.

This really should not be a surprise to anyone. But then I wrote a post in 2024 listing Hungary's influence op as one of the things NOT being covered bc of the 1000th Joe Biden Old story.

It’s like Hungarians didn’t even *read* Hillbilly Elegy.

A pair of eagles flew over us today at the capital in St. Paul during the No Kings protest

Turns out that when every Somali case I have in court suddenly got expedited and reassigned to a new judge, it wasn't just me! The DOJ has officially denied that there is an expedited "Somali Docket," but now the public data refutes their denial. Here are the highlights: 🧵 bklg.org/blog/somali-...

I'm not sure what to make of it, but every Somali I represent in immigration court currently (8 of them) have today had their hearings cancelled and their judges reassigned. They're now all assigned to a video judge from Louisiana and scheduled for court hearing in one month. 🧵

this is interesting because it seems like it's the same story -- Iran agreed to allow more more tankers through in response to a request from the US because "letting tankers through" rather than "opening the Strait" fits larger Iranian goals of establishing control of Hormuz x.com/i/status/203...

I’ve started investing in stocks: beef, chicken, and vegetable. Someday, I hope I’ll be a bouillonaire.

if you're travelling and you are a documented citizen (esp if you're white/white-passing), you need to speak up & interrupt any racial profiling you witness. We are absolutely defeated if we allow ICE agents to harass people in the broad light of crowded airports. Don't be a good deputy citizen.

“The worst energy crisis the world has ever seen” This time, yes, the president has everything to do with oil prices

One of my main reasons for never forgiving the turmp voters

Party hats will be encouraged

Last year’s Oscar post is just a sad reminder that none of these fashy clowns can be added to the “In Memoriam” segment yet

The most cringey of all trees is the face palm.
