The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

“The murdering will continue until you stop calling us murderers.”

It doesn’t take a trained ear to hear the deflections. Homan does not deny taking a bag of money. The public deserves answers.

the shooter is literally on camera saying "fucking bitch" after shooting a woman who had just told him "I'm not mad at you" but sure, people who think this sucks need to tone down their rhetoric

this is at least the third clip I've seen of journos asking Frey about the F bomb and I mean, give me a fucking break

I'm literally crying. The absolute courage of this woman.

Not a wasted word. A must read for all of us: "If the American Experiment dies, it will be because we didn’t stop the immorality of a white supremacy that calls Somali refugees “garbage” and a patriarchy that mutters “f---ing bitch” as it murders a woman in ice-cold blood...."

If calling a state secret police agent a murderer for committing murder will lead to more murder by the state secret police, it sure seems like the problem is with the secret police

There is no attitude for which legacy journalists are more often rewarded by their bosses than "Everybody needs to calm down." It is a preening announcement that you are the adult in the room, immune from emotion or overreaction or "hysteria." And it is the worst imaginable priority for this era. >

we’re in the vet’s office waiting room and they just called for Agamemnon. we all looked at the Great Dane but it turns out Agamemnon is an orange kitten in a backpack that makes him look like an astronaut cheese puff

FOX: Where’s the protest against the regime that's killing people in the street right now? Trent: They are doing those today. It’s called the ICE protests FOX: Are they talking about Iran at the ICE protests? Trent: No, I think they are talking about the regime that is shooting people in the face

This is the way and every single Democrat should be on board. It won't get anywhere before the midterms, but it will make the midterms easier for Democrats to win and easier to take action on these promises once they do. Be the party of accountability. Own that space, starting now.

I love EVERYTHING about this post. 1958 full-skirted shirtwaist with perfectly 50s style art on it. AND a dachshund in a hoodie.

Go birds

FLY MY LITTLE PRETTIES FLY

Anna and Elsa behind me right now. Elsa has her little fish toy in bed with her. I'm in my office, just putzing around.

🥰 Best buds

I really do love my hometown.

It is impossible to overstate the degree to which the entire national political media's coverage of the 2024 presidential campaign, especially once Harris won the nomination, was deeply, fundamentally, shamefully unserious about the stakes & the candidates.

Hi folks, I'm seeing a lot of "Eyes on Minneapolis" & "We support Minnesota" sentiment. Here's a tangible way you can help: Trump just suspended federal funding for SNAP benefits to Minnesota. Second Harvest Heartland is an MN-based hunger-relief org. Please donate what you can. www.2harvest.org

“A crowd of hundreds also gathered at Ocean Beach in San Francisco to form a human banner spelling ‘IT WAS MURDER — ICE OUT.’” www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti... #ICEOutForGood

This took me STRAIGHT back. Enjoy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGaF...

when u have ur OWN heating pad and fuzzy robe but u like mom's better

Naomi really is a piece of shit. And she's one to be talking about others' pathologies. The woman is so insecure that she has "8 NYT Bestsellers" as part of her Twitter name!! She really needs some affirmation.

I ordered a new lambie. And a mallard duck. Cause it was cute.

For you youngsters out there just finding out about him, Jesse Ventura is not "some kind of lake wizard" but was at one time the governor of Minnesota and before that a professional wrestler

100% we called these floppies. Occasionally when dealing with older computers someone would say "big or small?" Hell I probably still have some in a box somewhere.

Things are grim right now but as a reminder of who we are and why we fight, this is the US Women’s figuring skating champion.

If you're a young person you have no idea how long we've all been listening to Small Government and Liberty stuff from the right. Nobody at all believed any of it lol

A frankly astounding Humble Bundle of about 70 books by women SFF writers, including the Iskryne series by @pennyvixen.bsky.social and me and my first two Karen Memory novels, for $25 for the whole bundle, benefitting youth mental health. www.humblebundle.com/books/fierce...

You’d think being the most masked group in America would help.

Granted I’m biased but I actually don’t think that looking like a lesbian should justify summary executions.

At last night’s candlelight vigil for Renee Nicole Good, Bishop Rob Hirschfeld of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire announced he had asked the clergy of the diocese to get their affairs in order and to make sure they have their wills written ...,

The sleepiest old lady ❤️

Then this afternoon, Elsa ripped Lambie apart, after a year. It lasted pretty long! Now have to get a new one.

I have some congresspeople who follow me, so I'll just throw this out there: As a taxpayer, I would actually prefer that you *not* continue to fund the fascist military machine that is being used to kill and kidnap people from our communities.

manifesting this energy for us all

read the alt text, lol

Guess I wasn’t done giving scritches. #dachshund #dogs

Anna's using the Lambie as her pillow.

Seriously, Europe, UK, just shut him the fuck DOWN. -or at LEAST get every gov site OFF of there! Jesus!

He didn't shoot her because he was afraid, he shot her because she wasn't.

I’m old enough to remember the late 2000s, when redpill dudes were starting to mobilize online various feminists and queer activists and historians wrote fairly regularly about misogyny as the canary in the coal mine of fascism I can still hear the crickets

It keeps kind of getting lost among the horrors but it is truly surreal that Musk is still breaking so many content laws mostly unimpeded.

The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred. It's hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become

trans equality means a world where Rose gets to talk about pottery as much as she would like

David Bowie died ten years ago today so here is a photo of him in Japan looking cool as the current Berlin winter.
