If you want to know why the vast majority of men empathize with the perpetrators rather than the victims…

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

this entire situation shouldn’t be too surprising but perfectly illustrates how so many men just despise women and that that hatred is actively an important aspect of the far right project

minnesota rep ilhan omar invited aliya rahman, the disabled woman pulled from her car by ICE in minneapolis, as her guest for the state of the union speech on tuesday while pete stauber brings nick shirley and david hoch, who many blame for operation metro surge www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrcW...

thinking about how Savannah Guthrie had to cancel her trip to work the Olympics because of her mom’s kidnapping but the guy who heads up the investigative body handling the case was posting pictures of himself in the US hockey locker room today lol

The collective joy for the men’s hockey team victory lasted like an hour before they were partying with Kash Patel and FaceTiming Trump and reminding everyone what they’re all about

I'm asking that we all raise our political expectations. We deserve good things.

something abled people don't get is you can have just one day a week where you are too sick to work, and that's enough to disqualify you from nearly all full-time jobs. it doesn't take a lot

unhoused people are not service-resistant. the services being offered are people-resistant.

She's running to replace Dick Durbin and, uh, to say this is a welcome change in tone and attitude would be a hell of an understatement.

Amazing!

a fucking pedophile sexually abused nearly every prospective and actual Olympian gymnast for over two decades, and the political discourse is hyper-fixated on the hypothetical unfairness of trans girls competing with cis girls

I was too young to vote in the 80s but I remember a couple things very clearly. 1. Both Reagan & Bush gave me the ick. 2. Jesse Jackson was the first adult I'd ever heard speak on shared needs across groups and that successful people are lifted by others, not themselves www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/f...

i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.

It wasn’t so long ago that CNN sat down for a serious conversation with these guys. One of them is Pete Hegseth’s pastor. Pretending these assholes are still ‘fringe’ is a dangerous mistake bsky.app/profile/seth...

Other countries are taking this seriously. This one still is not. Gift article: wapo.st/4kO6Jv6

At some point, one has to ask: Of all the work that might be automated, why are we automating some of the most human work? Art, music, film, writing. The sort of labor that enriches us, connects us, heals us, slows us down. Why are we constantly being sold the idea that this is what has to go away?

BRO, WHAT THE FUCK IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?!

This is totally non-standard for any publication. Every pub everywhere pretty much cleans up uhms, uhm, and vocal tics like that, which EVERYONE DOES. This is extremely intentional. If I was writing this I’d probably do the quote “this is of course a very longstanding policy of the United States”

TW, of course, but sharing this gift article because of the enormous respect I have for Gisèle Pellicot, and my awe at her resilience. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/m...

Apparently there’s grocery inflation discourse again, but as I’ve been buying groceries for other families during this crisis, often under duress, it’s brought me out of my own optimized grocery spending habits, which rely heavily on Costco. And damn, there is a huge price to pay for being poor.

🎵 It was a good day🎵

I watched 5.5 mins of Sheriff Witt's press conference before I turned it off. Who is she vague posting about being a liar and that they need to find a new line of work? Witt has not been communicating; not on her own and not in multi-agency pressers. She created the vacuum for people's perceptions

Apologies to my neighbors, my dogs and anyone who walked past the house as I screamed: ‘I don’t want a fucking app for my fucking hair dryer!!’

My vote for the next senator from the state of Minnesota will be for Peggy Flanagan. She touches on many topics but I so appreciate her mentioning the childhood trauma caused by the feds, and particularly ACEs which is a measure of childhood trauma youtu.be/YLHSnL2LYi0?...

"Some were as young as 13, and at least half of those taken in so far became pregnant as a result of rape, sources said. Their pregnancies are considered high risk by definition, particularly for the youngest girls."

Hennepin Healthcare begins downsizing services

I only want to hear clarity like this from candidates. Anything less is unacceptable to me

This is DARVO

This tells me way more about people's economic experiences than the administration gleaming about the stock market

Fuentes then fantasizes about “breeding gulags”: “So just like Hitler imprisoned Gypsies, Jews, communists, you know, all of his political rivals, we have to do the same thing with women… They go to the breeding gulags. The good ones will be liberated. The bad ones will toil in the mines forever.”

Hey so remember when I said white women are endangering their own freedom when they cozy up to white supremacy? And that the hard right fantasies do not include sharing power with women? Yeah so the not so quiet part is here

Well, at least they're not hiding how much they hate us. We've been telling y'all for decades and here it is. Empathy is so scary, you must imprison anyone who has it. What a coward.

The consequences of HCMC closing about 100 inpatient beds and cutting about hundred jobs is going to be hugely detrimental to Minneapolis. They are suffocating our level 1 trauma center, safety net hospital. HCMC is back under control of the county commissioners, residents should be contacting them

I said it last year too, I want Aaliyah Edwards on the Lynx roster. Hootie H🏀🏀 #unrivaled

We can keep our eye on the Epstein scandal, and also remember that Minnesota is still being terrorized by our government. Look at these great Americans. If they can face down lawless secret police in their bathrobes, we can keep calling Congress.

Most of these matches have gone as I expected but I did I think Arike was going to smoke Slim like that #unrivaled

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

It's the party of Pedophiles

As a McCollum constituent, I can't believe she doesn't regularly face credible primary challengers. Name a single McCollum signature issue or bill from her 25 year tenure. I'll wait.

I hate her so much

No appointee of this administration even bothers to create the appearance of doing their job anymore, just openly serving as the president's personal apologist and attack dog. Completely illegitimate government

Hennepin County and State Patrol officers can be seen in images from Whipple on Sat concealing their faces, which is against a MN law that also applies to cops. In was 26 degrees on Sat. They cannot claim it was “protection from weather.”

That guy at the Atlanta airport they say ‘crashed out’ about the Epstein files isn’t wrong, if you ask me.

Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt is running for reelection this year and you can contact her campaign directly to tell her it’s not that tricky, actually: we do not negotiate with terrorists ([email protected])

I have been thinking about this a lot in the context of Autistic people at protests & risks involved with being arrested Autistic people &/or people w/ Autistic traits are SO often misunderstood, taken out of context & masking to people please that it leaves us at serious risk in an interrogation
