MEGAN KELLER WITH A DIRTY DRAG MOVE AND A GOLD MEDAL WINNING GOAL 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable. Biden himself said they were fabricated! www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

You don’t have to love everything outlets like the Times or Atlantic do to understand that: -many talented people of good faith work for most mainstream outlets -their platforms are vastly larger than ours Our resistance will die in secrecy or win by rallying the world to our side

Mood in minneapolis right now

I think it's good to keep getting mad about evil and unjust things, if only to remind yourself and everyone else that these things are in fact evil and unjust. I don't think it's naive. Nor is it wise and sophisticated to adopt a "You fool, nothing matters and nothing good can ever happen" posture

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc... Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help. The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later: thepeopleslaundrympls.com/volunteer/

From a Minnesotan: a hearty HELL NO to this. This man is a professional political consultant in DC raising $$ for a political party. There are endless better places to donate to actually help people here suffering and fighting against this nazi invasion. Here’s a start: www.standwithminnesota.com

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

If you aren’t in Minneapolis and want to help those who need it right now, links to donation one are in the below thread

Happy Columbo's Day! Celebrate by doing one more thing on your personal to-do list, even if that thing is just watching your favorite episode.

Explaining to my wife that I cannot simply “read the books I’ve already bought and haven’t read” like some kind of peasant.

An eloquent image: Setting aside the content under the tarp for a moment, teens were asked to make art expressing what it is like to be a teen, and the end result was a mural wrapped in a tarp by adults. I bet a lot of teens would find this expressive of their experience.

Happy birthday to Bill Watterson, the creator of Calvin and Hobbes! Born on July 5, 1958.

Bluesky is bad because everyone thinks identically (tells me I stink) instead of featuring a diversity of thought (telling me I'm a smart handsome boy)

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1561

If members of the press are worried they didn’t give enough coverage to the cognitive decline of a sitting president, they have an amazing opportunity to make up for it right now.

Many of the most progressive spaces and movements are in the South and Midwest. They are often silenced by racism and gerrymandering, but they show up with little national support. Folks surprised that people in “red states” show up to protest should never forget that you can’t ignore “red states”.

I was part of this! Don’t yell at me for who I protected or didn’t protect from the Frost
