A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot. "They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets." "They had the professional demeanor of criminals." ht: @paulgraham.bsky.social

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Republican Rand Paul: "When people watch that video, and the government tells them, 'well he was assaulting the police officers,' no party with objectivity believes that is what is happening. No American believes officers were assaulted. The opposite appears true."

MELANIA! her husband fucks kids

So Larry Ellison just bought TikTok. That's cool with everyone right? Right? #TikTok #media #scum

Big moment for Europe: in December, fully electric cars outsold petrol-only cars in the EU for the first time. This shows that clear, consistent policy works. Which is exactly why backtracking now would be a mistake. Rolling back targets or creating uncertainty would slow investment and innovation.

Hey Britain, how's that trade deal with India going? #brexit #eu

ALEX JEFFREY PRETTI. Gone, but never forgotten... #RIP_Alex 💔

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

I don't really have the stomach for sport right now but Mike McCarthy to the Steelers is the best potential comedy in what is a nonsense league. #nfl

💀💀💀💀

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

Gonna start a kickstarter for Melania poster speech bubbles! 😂

Genius meme.

I’ve been around people with degenerative mental conditions and yeah

Interesting Davos reaction dynamic on my timeline this morning: Europeans/Brits/Canadians: Americans, the world will never forgive you people for what you've done. White Americans: *sheepishly hanging heads* Non-white Americans: Who the fuck is "you people," asshole?

I don't watch much #nfl these days because I get my racism undiluted on the street these days, but Great White Hope #joshallen being bounced just makes me smile. "He's having fun out there!"

A reminder that bringing shitty posts over from That Fascist Site to be performatively angry about them here is a choice you don't have to make! You can just leave them there! There is so much else to be legitimately angry about! You will not lack for content!

I don't want Greenland. I just want healthcare. Thanks.

If there’s a better obituary for an evil cartoonist than an A.I. generated version of his character that fucks up the defining detail of its design, I can’t think of it. No notes. 👨🏻‍🍳 💋

Fascism cannot be undone with words alone. It requires action.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

What's that thing they say? "Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice." At some point the difference ceases to matter to anyone affected.

JFC another example of a man just straight stealing from a woman's creativity..... #womeninart www.theguardian.com/artanddesign... ‘Her time has come’: did Mondrian owe his success to a crossdressing lesbian artist who lived in a Cornish cove?

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

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.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.
