The fact that thousands of Minnesotans continue to show up day after day and night after night to protect their communities knowing ICE agents are a hair's breadth away from murdering them is a fucking testament to their bravery, empathy, and resolve. America has not earned it, but there they are.

The last time I lived in New Jersey @corybooker.com was six years old, but he's tracked me down in Arizona and is sending me cards
Hey, Cory, they're ethnically cleansing the Twin Cities, maybe fewer cards and more impeachments, chop-chop!

In its Tuesday edition, the daily newspaper based in Saint Paul has news of the lawsuit by the State of Minnesota and the cities of Saint Paul and Minneapolis on the front page. The daily newspaper based in Minneapolis does not have that news anywhere in their print edition.

Fucking mainstream media obediently clutching their pearls about Fucking Frey's f-bomb rather than being mortified and appalled that a fucking lunatic with a gun is still free after murdering a woman on camera because he felt emasculated.

I'mma take a break from BlueSky until I can be a bit more confident that scrolling won't randomly show me a video of an innocent woman being murdered by the secret police. I'm still not recovered from the other day.

Go run that country!

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”
In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.
