Kind of wild there has been almost no coverage of the fact that the federal government unleashed chemical weapons against literal kids *at school*. workdaymagazine.org/minneapolis-...

I can't describe how bad Minneapolis feels right now. My neighbors are pulling kids out of school. The public schools are offering remote learning until 2/12. We are having conversations in our alleys about how to protect ourselves. It feels like a military occupation with a blockade.

Wilhelm screaming as I find out that actual journalists reporting on Grok quote Grok as a primary source as if it is a sentient person

From firing the local MAGA-allied police chief to calling for the abolishment of ICE, so much inaction by elected Democrats boils down to "but I'm scared!" I am very sorry, but you said you could do this job when you were hired. Please step aside if you can't.

It’s gonna be hard to top this one folks

I think we won’t really free up the space to imagine a way out of American fascism until people grasp this: most of what the “opposition party” has to offer them is their preferred actors for state violence

sequestering the perverts and pedophiles in their own echo chamber sounds great to me

the sooner they all realize this the better.

'You Hate Free Speech' is the go-to Far Right smear every time a targeted group pushes back. Would be great if headlines like this helped people understand that ugly tactic.

What Elon Musk is doing to women protesting his humiliation of them = what TERFs do to trans people protesting their humiliation of them = what the pro-Genocide media does to those protesting against Israel's actions in Gaza.

Graham Linehan is cheering for a man who shot a woman in the face while calling her a fucking bitch. JK Rowling sits on her hands. Meanwhile, Posie Parker is tweeting that women should stay at home while men work. Tell me how the "gender critical" movement is a women's rights movement again?

“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

And this is Nelson, their most self-importantly Reasonable Tory. Do you imagine the rest of their pundits are better.

This is how they react when a fascist militia in another country shoots a woman in the face for no good reason, live on camera. Do you imagine they are more honest than this about events occurring in this country?

The Times was right behind Trump in his first term, cheering him on and denouncing his opponents as elitist leftist swine who hate the working man, right up until that torchlit Nazi march where that fascist killed that girl. Then it all went sotto voce. No such concerns, this time.

Incredible* to see the Times assert that apparently a woman hurting a man's feelings means he should be able to kill her. (*completely expected)

Watch out for the ONE question where they try to trick you by putting "I want AI" as the bottom option where EVERY other question has "I don't want AI" at the bottom!

Then one Palestinian flag later: sadly, the left has ruined our protest again

There always comes a moment when The Sensibles pivot from complaining about protests and tone policing every sign to despairing that people aren't in the streets

The man with this has his online avatar is now retweeting conservatives calling for the abolishment of women's right to vote in the US.

British journalists are addicted to X because even though the views and likes are fake, the numbers under their posts give them the feeling that someone is reading their opinions, which is not a sensation accessible at any British newspaper

if only there had been a movement and momentum several years ago to downsize police budgets, clear out the white supremacists and de-militarize local law enforcement

Why is Ex-Ofsted Chief, Amanda Spielman, being treated as an expert voice on trans youth healthcare in The Times, while openly admitting: “I am no clinician…”? She even admits to using her position to pressure ministers to publish trans guidance while leading Ofsted. Why isn't this the headline???

Both Renee and her wife are so magnificently unafraid in the video from just before Good's murder. No wonder that cop wanted them dead.

Those of you who still insist on drawing a distinction between ICE and police should be aware that the police are not drawing that distinction.

Yep, The Times is going with 'The murder of Renee Nicole Good is the fault of immigrants'.

There is little to be said from the comfort of London except that I have a deep respect for the guts of the people of Minneapolis for regularly putting themselves in front of evil men who, it has been made clear, are happy to use lethal force at the smallest provocation.

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

The lesson Frey and Walz were supposed to learn in 2020 was that sending riot police to a peaceful protest creates a confrontation that results in some dipshit cops shooting people in the eye with a gas canister which then we have to goddamn pay for in settlements while also our city burns.

it is impossible for mayors or cops to learn positive lessons about protest response because they all have two immovable beliefs: 1. it is evil and childish to hold police officers accountable for violent acts 2. cops must be present at all times during protests

every city there’s cops like “its late, you can’t protest anymore!” like everyone’s five and have bed times. i’m an adult god dammit and i’m not tired. take a step back and fuck your own face.

that’s why they say “all cops” and not “some cops”

This is the Editor-in-Chief of Bounding Into Comics and he's been doing a bunch of the Rider beat there. Find him and Block him.

invading a sovereign space with a shitload of armed men under the pretense of ensuring safety, murdering innocents and intimidating the locals, then declaring anyone who opposes these actions to be a terrorist looks a lot like declaring war without saying it.

not a fan of the fever pitch we're approaching with all of this lowkey

I think it's a bad sign that every major news media outlet has spent days asking whether or not murder is bad and how much child porn is an okay amount

I understand why people think protests are a waste of time. But they’re the only thing that give me hope anymore. Elected Dems are still voting for Trump’s nominees. They insist pointing out Trump’s fascism is bad strategy. They offer vague promises things might be marginally better years from now.

Find a local anti-ICE protest this weekend.

I fully support the brave American people in their struggle to be free from their corrupt and repressive government.

we live in a pretty nice area of Los Angeles and have participated in anti-ICE patrols at our local elementary school, an experience shared by far too many parents in far too many parts of the country

We deserve political leaders who fight as hard for democracy as the average canvasser and ICE observer.

Holy Jesus I didn't look close enough, saw the green logo quickly and thought this was The Onion and started chuckling man what have we done lol

Attention Bluesky elders: The artist behind the ANIMORPHS covers is here!

The federal government seceding from the union is a new one

what in the fuck is even happening right now also hi, excuse me @governorwalz.mn.gov how is this being allowed?

Happy Pathologic 3 day to all who observe!

This is unsustainable and is an explicit threat of civil war against blue states.

If the executive branch can unilaterally cut off federal funding to specific states the union has already been dissolved.
