His name was Alex Pretti, he was 37. He was recording ICE, directing traffic, and helping up someone agents had shoved to the ground. They murdered him for it.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

If Gavin Newsom please fuck off forever the last thing this country needs is a soulless Patrick Bateman cosplaying as “Ronald Reagan but A Democrat”

I haven't really posted on here in 3 months but I finished my album at least! malewife.bandcamp.com/album/thanks...

America is a fucking joke of a country

Mayor Jacob Frey: “To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”

Great day to have functioning eyes and a working brain

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

We’re not running out of good ideas, but the tech fetishists who have no ideas other than “but I put a lot of money and emotion into this basket” always do, and their narcissism does not allow them to consider that their failed ideas suck, and the flop sweat is palpable.

Paul Anka, thanks so much for agreeing to do a rare interview. No one has seen or heard from you in at least 40 years. I know you're a busy man so I'll just get right to the burning question that the world has been dying to know the answer to: What was Frank Sinatra's penis like?

Been continuing my replacement of phone with book with Kurt Vonnegut's God Bless You, Mr Rosewater. It's hilarious. But I'm here to complain about the smug idea that his work is for ppl in their teens/20s, and you should grow out of it. It's anti-socialist propaganda dressed up as intellectualism.

Accidentally In Love from the film Shrek 2 is a goddamn banger

Working a menial job in a a desolate winter, my life is just like a Weakerthans song

RIP John Lennon you would of loved Pinkerton

Darklands and Disintegration make a great combo for a dreary November day

I forgot you're actually supposed to promote music you make. Marking nsfw because the single cover's dirty sorry malewife.bandcamp.com/track/you-lo...

Life is pain but I’m doing ok despite that. Finally diving into the new Open Mike Eagle and it’s one of his best

Jimmy Cliff, one of the greatest reggae singers of all time, has passed away stereogum.com/2480665/regg...

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

Until the sun burns out

While they’re still screwing about with SNAP, it’s a good idea to donate to pet shelters, too. If you dare show up with “poor people shouldn’t have pets”, I will tear such a new one it generates a black hole. apnews.com/article/pets...

no amount of state propaganda will ever convince me this man is my enemy

the harris campaign said the “they/them” ad didn’t sway the election. one of the trump campaign’s top strategists this week said trans rights isn’t in the top five issues for swing voters. when will the press stop talking about us like we’re a liability and start looking itself in the mirror

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

For your 2025 album consideration! What other record this year mixed punk, dance music, indie rock, bossa nova, and improvisation--all with only one instrument?? mikehuguenor.bandcamp.com/album/surfin...

So there were some AI-generated videos that purported to show Black women ranting about SNAP benefits, and... Fox News is reporting on this like these are real people. They're not! They're AI! This is truly insane. Total unreality. www.foxnews.com/media/snap-b...

Terrifying news: AI has reached the level of intelligence of the average police officer.

i think there's a longstanding tension between the depraved violence of our systems and the language which we use to describe its purpose and effect and the internet has showcased the former long enough to wear away the veneer on the latter

the israeli hostages are safe and going home to warm, comfortable houses and comfortable lives to begin their healing. palestinian hostages will be going to back to destroyed homes and businesses, to a famine, to a genocide in action. there will be no chance to heal

Glad I’m not the only one who’s hated this smug dollar bin John Prine for years

Are US liberals and democrats going to mobilise over this like they have for Kimmel or nah.

new full length album out now on the bandcamp page <3 thank you for listening. i swear to god i'll have this chibi robo video out soon too lol

excited for this trend to continue when 30 years from now Nick Fuentes takes a principled stance against the policies of President Triple Hitler, a clone containing the souls of three Hitlers in a single body

a key reason they see an opening for such a blatant speech crackdown is that they already did one to Palestinian and anti-genocide activists and it got enthusiastic bipartisan approval

Haven’t skeeted in a while: fuck ICE, free Palestine and protect trans people

pup the band is the beatles of modern punk music. no i will not explain (ok i’ll explain its the four part harmonies and the chord choices)

9/11 this, 9/11 that; some of y’all need to put down the 9 ELVEN rings gifted to the race of men, who above all else, desire power <send>

I’m sorry, “the vice president’s mother was a drug addict so we’re allowed to just extrajudicially murder anyone we vaguely handwave as being part of a cartel” is a real argument people are making? in public? under their own names?

Love seeing my 2 favorite guitarists shred @sladkow.bsky.social and @mikehuguenor.bsky.social

5x5 Friday what’s up gang

It’s weird how this keeps happening to the economy I wonder what they have in common?

I fucking hate the bush’s baked beans dog

Let’s go

Today marks the 40th anniversary of the 7th episode of Dirty Pair, "愛こそすべて命賭けます逃避行!!" or "Love Is Everything, Betting Their Lives on Elopement", one of the most overtly trans-positive episodes of anime of its era. This was the future they predicted for us in 1985. We can still get there.

Life’s been rough lately but currently on a train to Chicago to see Oasis, biblical

Out of all the snobby country club sports, Tennis is by far the best. We need to reclaim tennis for the people

Having a Silver Jews summer (I get depressed and listen to Silver Jews )
