Did a thing just now that was Morally Right but could also get me in a lot of trouble at work, something too many Americans are having to do every single day

They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.

"They voted for this." Well. 22% of the US population checked Trump/Vance on their ballot. What they thought they were voting for actually varies, thanks to propaganda/misinformation/disinformation/shitty newspapers. It's turning out that those who didn't vote for *this* actually don't like it.

ate some Taco Bell before my blood donation, hope the eventual recipient is prepared to get Baja Blasted 🙏

SNL cut this clip from the broadcast, but it slaps

I’ve been searching for a “hub” to show us how to help Minnesotans, and lo and behold

It's already demoralizing to be a federal thug, a barely sentient ogre. Nobody likes or respects you. But then you go to work in -19 weather thinking surely today you'll get a break from people yelling at you. But no there they are. They're not even cold

These fucks love to say parents are “endangering” their children by simply being immigrants, or protesting in the vicinity of DHS agents I do not remember a single right winger standing up for me or countless other children when our parents dragged us to hostile Operation Rescue sit-ins in the 90s

don’t forget - it’s Whiskey Friday with Tony Dokoupil so act accordingly

I throw around the phrase "loser shit" and talk about signs of weakness a lot. Some of that is surely reading too much into the bones, sure. But getting back from failing to drop epic owns on the EU at a Davos that was mostly an emergency summit to whine about polls? Loser shit.

When I kindly ask Europeans to take a break from screaming at us American libs on Bluesky and focus their wrath on their insane leaders and their Trump-fellating instead, this is exactly what I’m talking about

If you told me, avowed atheist, even just last year that I would be joining a group of clergy in a protest (in my city on Sunday) I’d have thought you were crazy strange times indeed

The most valuable cultural myth we have is that we can improve ourselves. It used to be in our public consciousness that this is what we strive to do. And have done before. Better people turned their shame into action. Small people use their shame as an excuse for nihilism.

Thought this bitch was gonna get off after the first jury failed us, but pleased to announce at least one asshole cop is now going to prison

A major coalition is launching a general strike in Minnesota tomorrow, aimed at pushing out ICE. It includes: -Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1005 -The MN AFL-CIO -SEIU Local 26 -UNITE HERE Local 17 -CWA Local 7250 -Saint Paul and Minneapolis Federations of Educators -Faith leaders And more. 🧵

I have seen no less than 4 recent articles expressing SURPRISE at how popular “gay men romance” is amongst straight women and I’m more convinced than ever that no straight man with any kind of power or influence has ever spent even 2 minutes actually listening to a woman

My local bookshop understands their audience.

On the west coast and feeling helpless? Weather and the general chaos have left blood banks in short supply, and YOU can help our compatriots all across the country and potentially save a life I made an appointment to donate tomorrow. If you’re type O especially, please help

Incredible how many faux savvy people fail this simple Intro To Ball test Yes! It is easier to persuade someone by placing your common enemy in opposition to their aspirational identity as an American! Not to challenge the value of their identity!

Real America

Isn’t demanding we be better and not repeat the atrocities of the past a major part of atoning for one’s sins? what are we doing here

This is basically how I view the subject. Like, no duh, the United States has done some incredibly awful stuff over the centuries. But we also have a very powerful strand of humanitarianism, especially in the post World War II era, and I will damn well lean into that part of our national identity.

stop legitimizing the fascist takeover by pretending it's normal

This hack isn’t even my Senator and I am incensed that she has the gall to post this kind of shit without having appeared ONCE to support or assist ICE observers currently trying to hold the line in her state

PALANTIR CEO: Gimme the "Time-displaced Taika Waititi after 24 straight hours of railing cocaine" STYLIST: I got you brother

Other "frameworks" that Trump has announced: - Deal with China (x4) - Deal with the Saudi's to buy $100b in weapons from the US - Deal with Quatar to invest billions in the US - Deal with Iran, North Korea, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, UK Zero to show from any of them. www.foxnews.com/politics/tru...

I think this is why I have such heartburn being lumped in with MAGA by foreigners. I hate Trump! I’m doing everything I can to frustrate his plans for us! But we need the rest of the world to stop appeasing him, too I know you didn’t ask for this, but please stop giving him his way!

Got a new laptop sticker

hop in loser, we’re forming a Coalition of the Vengeful

As someone who volunteers in local Democratic politics I want to once again remind the Bluesky community that the Democratic base is your friend, and LIGHT YEARS ahead of the national party leaders on literally every issue

Also just want to make it known that the elders on our county Democratic central committee meeting tonight are fired tf up they’re organizing weekly protests. they’re out here using language that would make Chuck Schumer need a fainting couch

To the older progressive woman running for a seat on the local water board who sang her name during her intro at our meeting tonight: goddamn it you’ve got my vote

it's kinda insulting they expect us to buy this after decades of social media teaching us when one partner starts posting like this the relationship is on the rocks, band-aid baby or not lol

"History will not look kindly upon______" Damn history ... i don't look kindly upon it... we aint gotta wait

commence MLM-mom-Facebook-concern-posting at the second lady!

Local officials have more power than some would ever admit to publicly!

Which of why Vance was clear that nothing in the big ugly bill mattered except the DHS budget. They are funded until Democrats have a massive congressional majority or the end of Trump’s term, whatever comes first

Are we really this credulous, guys? One was running for mayor, the other is the goddamn Senate Minority Leader Huge difference in what their roles are in federal policymaking AND the direction of the party as a whole

If you need some inspiration today, read this: “I’m afraid, but if I don’t do something, then who will?”

Sounds like a you problem, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella

modern american politics consists of experts patiently explaining why something insane that people are talking about could never happen, followed by that exact thing happening

the nail polish girlies are going absolutely feral and it’s so good

This is pure, unabashed bigotry. If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party. But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence. A stain on our Congress.

I don’t know how to lift the aisle arm rest on the 737 Max 8 and honestly that bothers me more than the shoddy door plugs that blow out
