most professional athletes are just dumb jocks who don't pay attention to much else beyond the sport they play and their entourages but the video of donald trump congratulating the usa men's hockey team is pretty devastating. /1

Is the president mocking the U.S. women’s hockey team on a celebratory call with the men’s team going to attract even an iota of the sustained handwringing that the idea of trans athletes disadvantaging women’s sports has gotten

Equity is alive and well in Minnesota

during lyin' homan's propaganda conference announcement extravaganza one of my neighbors was snatched out of their car at the traffic light. lesson here is that the lying liars will continue to lie. trust only your neighbors. keep them safe as they keep you safe.

voting for this guy rules i'm gonna do it as often as i can

Just a big hug to all the anarchists in the Twin Cities who get dismissed all the time but knew exactly what to do when shit went down here.

the burden of proof is on the mother-fucker asserting something.

The inevitable AI bubble-burst is this timeline’s best chance for an actual Butlerian Jihad. Everyone with eyeballs and a memory knows just how terrible the unbridled tech boom has made our everyday lives, and AI is the industry’s golden child. When this child shits its pants, everyone will see it.

Watching @whysophiewhy.bsky.social @iwriteok.bsky.social @prophiphop.bsky.social on motherfucking Netflix is WILD as someone who’s only ever ingested the brilliant content via audio alone. It’s like watching Godzilla and their pals in a sitcom format. Idk how else to describe it. LOVE this.

today's report: our "adopt a rent" venmo campaign paid 43 families rents who were at risk of evictions, including several moms of 4+ children this is the way to get rent paid fast. like. 1000x better than any other way.

Sight in San Francisco (from a friend)

i don't particularly disagree with a lot of the critiques of anarchist activism by liberals but I bristle when they act as if their best practices are any wiser. we're here because none of us figured out how to avoid being here. everyone should have some goddamn humility.

member when the feds left those cars behind in north minneapolis and there were a shitload of velcro-backed patches with various federal agency acronyms on em?

as soon as satoshi says "homage" everyone in the room laughs. aronofsky is such a shithead.

leaving that spicy bag of potato chips within arm's reach of my desk was a great idea for now

Some things to understand about people from Minnesota on here right now, a short thread:

wowie zowie as a card-carrying aranofsky hater AND a card-carrying AI hater this is a HUGE day for me

the guys who are yukin about how it's like call of duty actually truly believe they're true fighty-boys. hmm who do they think they're fighting i wonder? could it be the wrongly-vilified civilians of a blue city strongly represented in part by a woman of color who makes dear leader cry on socials?

these silly vapid buttholes don’t ever for even the blink of an eye consider why people are doxxing them

Big Tech is still the best place to be deeply incompetent at your job and fail straight to the top

This is Minneapolis. Collective trauma, and neighbors helping neighbors. This is our 24/7 every day lives right now, not just a 10 second news clip.

when "the border" means 100 miles from the drawn border this restriction is meaningless. warrants have always been required, yet ignored. IDs and bodycams are like a screen door on a submarine. ice was never allowed in churches or schools in the first place. what the fuck are these people doing?

Everyone vs ICE: On the Ground in Minnesota Important episode & reporting by @jamesstout.bsky.social & @margaret.bsky.social out now podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i... www.iheart.com/podcast/1119...

this empty vessel for unbridled, feckless, incompetent hatred deserves neither rest nor peace

I wrote this yesterday about the hero city of Minneapolis www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKOW...

tag yourself, i'm "trained (somewhere)"

as a leftist, i'm prone to picking nits. today's nit: "if ice should get out of minneapolis, where should it go?" ice should not get out of minneapolis. ice should not get out of minnesota. ice should be completely destroyed. @miawong.bsky.social

nothing in my mind, imho, needs to be said. what i've seen is self-evident. the mainstream media is a lies parrot. we've all seen the videos with our own eyes, right? even if you haven't read 1984 (which isn't the GREATEST book, let's be honest), don't you feel duped? even a little?

as with any leftist, i'm always picking nits. today's nit: "ICE out of <insert place>." if ICE is out of your place, where does it go? you have a shred of human decency, don't you? shouldn't the message be "ICE must be destroyed?"

"every party needs a bard" and that means those of you who have the aux when someone else is hucking bricks at pigs

Your local politicians too will fall in line in the face of a total social mobilization like the people of Minneapolis have achieved Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

great news, everyone

it's klobberin time (it is most definitely not klobberin time)

There is going to come a time in your life when you are chatting with a guy, at a barbecue or something, a new coworker maybe, a dad at school drop off, and he tells you he used to be in ICE. You’re going to need to spit on that guy

emmer is the local poster child for brown-nosed failsons desperate for an iota of credibility or renown. there is no bar so low that he will not stoop to it. the worms of the deep earth look down upon him.

the operation at the 3 separate speedway gas stations yesterday is gonna be turned into a super-cut and shown to dear leader and the frothing maga base and they'll say "see how violent they are" our community has been beset by deeply unserious violent clown-children

too repulsed, didn't watch: "beatings will continue until morale collapses entirely" jokes on you, couch fucker, morale has been replaced by the collective total rejection of your inhuman goon squad and none of us is gonna let any of us fail. you do not know who you are fucking with.

I was at MANY of these stops. Here’s what would happen: the agents would stand guard at the cars, Bovino would literally pose out front while people yelled at him. It was a pathetic, obvious attempt to antagonize neighbors - they transited three gas stations and did the exact same thing thrice.

Anyone who’s fighting the pigs on our streets right now needs to read this thread. You owe it to yourselves to hear from the party’s fighter-bard. Keep it up. We’re going to win.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

Please help us bring Liam Adrian Cornejo Ramos (he’s only 5 years of age and is currently in pre-K. Yesterday, he and his father were kidnapped by ICE. This will help the family with legal services to help reunite Liam and his dad with their family. gofund.me/be8a1b2ab

guys minneapolis is a living hell today. they've tear-gassed so many people, tear-gassed a park, beaten people up in front of me. greg bovino is rolling around to gas stations and posing in front of them, trying to cause a riot.

Art, especially painting, tattoos, dancing, music, is a universal way of connecting with humans that doesn’t require a shared spoken or written language. Feeling a vibe in a painting, watching the physicality of a pirouette, get a melody stuck in your head, you CONNECT with that artist. /1

Getting the league ready for Friday

ai is garbage. when the bubble pops, worms like nadella are going to accuse everyone for bursting the bubble cuz it wasn't widely adopted, because it's garbage. they've thrown hundreds of billions of dollars at this insatiable blob and the only thing they're gonna get is laughed at.

leftist taxi company: A-CAB bootlicker taxi company: Uber Alles

abolishing ice is the moderate position. it's the bare minimum. prosecuting the entire agency and paying reparations to victims would be justice.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.
