The rhetoric MAGA media is using to describe Minnesota protesters is increasingly unhinged and militaristic -- "insurgents" and "terrorists" waging "guerilla warfare,” looking to provoke a "Fort Sumter moment" and start a civil war. New from me and @slawton.bsky.social at @mmfa.bsky.social

The Trump-Vance administration just used your taxes to pay for an ICE agent to do this to a 21-year-old kid, who was only protesting because another ICE agent killed a mother of three, who was only there because ICE agents are kidnapping your neighbors

This is extremely Minneapolis behavior

Never escaping the adage "men are afraid that women are laughing at them; women are afraid that men will kill them"

For right-wingers who want to preserve any sort of public career in a post-Trump reality without being constantly haunted by their past disgrace, "Renee Good's murder is a bridge too far for me" is one of the easiest off-ramps in the world. I think we should take note of who declines to use it.

i just watched this video and the fact that they believe this to be exculpatory is genuinely insane

Did he shoot her as a way to get back at her wife? I am honestly asking. This seems the only thing that makes sense.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

Minneapolis is completely unsafe right now. ICE has been in 6 different Targets in the last 24 hours. They are setting up checkpoints on highways pulling all the brown people over. I scared away unmarked ICE from the market by our house after dropping kids off. #AbolishICE #Minneapolis

Can’t stop laughing at this

"voters are why I lost" is the funniest possible thing for a politician to say.

For your convenience I have checked the voter rolls and have circled everyone’s name who is not registered to vote in nyc.

Trump takes credit for Mahmoud Khalil's arrest by ICE:

congratulations to No Other Land, which may be the first film to win a major Oscar but not theatrical distribution.

Hello rugged, perhaps very tired Jon Hamm

The Times ed board argument here, seemingly “against” Trump’s attacks on trans people, is mostly concerned with rhetorical defenses of trans people in the military as patriots (and so deserving of rights), with mentions of bans on medical transition framed as “debate”

Hospitals that are cutting off care to trans people under nineteen are the very definition of "complying in advance"—some, as I report in this story, even claiming, incorrectly, that Trump has "prohibited" gender-affirming care. He has not. They are caving. More here: newrepublic.com/article/1910...

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government

Some of the best parenting advice I’ve found is: you don’t need to always know what to do, you need a guiding framework. Democrats have no guiding framework. They are making up every script as they go and they are absolutely terrified of appearing to have values.

I come over to BlueSky and feel like that moment in Hook where all the lost boys are like “Pan, forgotten how to fly?!” I’ve forgotten how to POST

my not-unprofessional opinion is this trans youth care ban would not be before the Supreme Court at all if not for Alliance Defending Freedom (aka the people who brought you Dobbs) and would not be treated as a "tough" issue for "even liberals" if not for the New York Times
