Keep calling and yelling at your reps cuz this isn’t over. Like for real.

"The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone."

Today is "Large boulder the size of a small boulder" day!

This part. Celebrate every victory, large and small. Celebrate each other. Celebrate the love and solidarity that hold you together. Never stop doing this. It's fundamental.

Just ask the Secretary of Defense

Now I want to know which CNN reporter or producer doesn't know the word "sycophant."

Powdered whole milk used to make ByHeart infant formula could be a source of contamination that led to an outbreak of botulism that has sickened dozens of babies, U.S. health officials indicated Friday. https://ow.ly/JajI50Y3ROl

Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.

Generative AI is not just the instrument and aesthetics of fascism, but it has permanently sewn itself to fascism in a fucked up human centipede of scammers and grifters and guys who've long ago forgotten how to think.

still one of the meaner dunks I’ve seen. id prob never post again tbh

Time for an Alice's Horse Fact! A ridgeling is a horse with one or both testicles undescended, also known as cryptorchidism. I often confuse the term ridgeling with quisling!

Protesters chanting "We're not cold, we're not afraid, Minne[apolis/sota] taught us to be brave" in Boston tonight outside Government Center station.

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.

This is absolutely not how death notification is supposed to work.

I’ll go down swinging and singing at the same time

For people elsewhere who have asked how to support Minnesota while we’re overrun with nazi thugs, here’s an excellent list of places that could use financial help. Lots of choices. Thank you so much! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Too fat to crime! True geniuses at work.

Okay, so. Time to leverage some clout. If you are outside MN and don't know how to help, here's one way. Pick a fund from standwithminnesota.com and I'll match them up to $1000. Post a receipt if you want but I'll probably believe you

It’s not “training.” It’s permission.

Do we know what his name was?

Illinoisans: Dick Durbin's office numbers: 202-224-2152 (DC) 217-492-4062 (Springfield) Tammy Duckworth's office numbers: (202) 224-2854 (DC) (217) 528-6124 (Springfield) Not one more cent to this government until ICE is defunded. No excuses.

Call only your OWN reps. Call even if you don't think they will listen. 1) Make staffers create a record and have to note that a constituent called. 2) Make it so they can't ignore the issue/Make clear you won't let this go. 3) Disrupt business as usual and the idea that people "don't care".

Call your senators. ICE today is a product of ICE of yesterday, of our carceral and policing and security logic — that’s all true. But shooting civilians point blank in the street with impunity is turning a corner we won’t come back from. Please call them today & tell them not to fund this.

This is why they can’t really make Kirk a martyr outside of the people who were already his fans. You can’t keep treating gun violence as no big deal, allowing scores of school kids to get shot and killed, and then say one guy getting shot was The Worst Most Horrible Thing Ever.

Don’t listen to anyone who implies that it’s the morally responsible thing to do to watch videos of people dying. Especially if you know that seeing it will freeze you instead of motivating you. Inaction is not what is needed right now - YOU are needed, in the best shape you can be.

Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.

She goes through all the reasons why choosing not to pay tithing is not only justifiable but arguably the most moral choice, and then goes on to say that she pays it anyway so she doesn’t “hoard”? If you want a painful contribution send it anywhere else, not to the billionaire church.

This is actually a really great encapsulation of everything wrong with modern late stage hyper capitalism. Systems are not built with interest in quality, durability, safety, resiliency or sustainability. We're trapped in a closeout liquidation clearance sale death spiral

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer. In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

It’s cups and swords so far this year, people. By far.

We fucking have the answers to this fucking question. The answer is “more than we should.” Any hospitalization or death that could be prevented SHOULD be prevented! There is no number of dead kids and babies that is “too much” for them!

Incredible. I like him.

Could you guys please throw a few bucks at @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social? It’s going to get down to -45° windchill and they work tirelessly to protect our unhoused neighbors. They also have an Amazon wishlist if you prefer.

Carbon monoxide deaths spike during power outages. Many times, this is due to portable generators being placed too close to people's homes or run indoors. Make sure you have working carbon monoxide alarms. Run your generator outdoors, at least 20ft away from your home.

Flashlights (not candles). Smoke/carbon monoxide alarms. Knowing where the vents to your home are so you can clear them of snow. Do it all. We're being given so much time with this storm.

Prepare now. Prepare now. Prepare now. Prepare now. Prepare now. Prepare now. Prepare now. Prepare now.

So, I do actually go do this! His answer was basically that 4 (a majority) of commissioners have to agree to get ICE out of the WSC. He would vote for it, he told me to go find three more votes. So, tonight I’m writing a template to do that very thing. If you would like to make a difference and

It’s hard to process the scale of harm caused by *one man* succumbing to the correlation fallacy.

[AI bubble bursts] billionaire tech bro: the stupid consumer did not understand it

she mentions it in passing but look up 'Starlight Tours', this is a method Canadian police have used to kill indigenous men for decades

If you see these, I highly recommend picking them up. They taste like mango sticky rice, 10/10 special flavor. No regrets at all.
