It’s really hard to bear the contrast on my TL of regular ass Minnesotans doing some of the bravest shit I’ve ever seen in the face of state sponsored terror followed by a deep blue state senator posting: “errrm how does taking Greenland help lower the price of groceries?”

I’m a black woman, and I love GOODFELLAS—good luck classifying me. If you’ve got an issue with me, take your shot. You’ve never seen the likes of me. I’m so unpredictable, so heterodox.

Take that, bluesky! My low-effort engagement farming is popular with pedophiles
A tale of three apps. Identical post sent at the same time:

Twitter: 136,000 likes, 20,000 shares

Threads: 46,000 likes, 4,000 ahares

Bluesky: 149 likes, 45 shares

To be clear, I have 60k followers on Twitter, 15k on Bluesky, but only 7k on Threads.

I love Bluesky, but this isn't sustainable.

I have some bad news for Samantha about who would've played Anne (and Catherine) in Shakespeare's Henry VIII back in 1613.
Personally if I was Anne Boleyn I’d be far more upset that someone made a musical about my head getting cut off

I overheard some coworkers claiming that Dumb and Dumber couldn’t be made today because it’s so offensive.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch would seem to be the only thing that truly couldn’t be made today.
So apparently Dylan Mulvaney got cast in a Broadway musical... which resulted in transphobes losing their minds and threatening to "Bud Light" the show... and now the show's Twitter page is locked down. Cool cool.

To review:
1. FBI yanks investigation of ICE from local police
2. FBI kills investigation of ICE
3. FBI pivots to investigating victim
4. Miller says local police must “surrender” to feds
This is neither law nor order; it’s state murder and coverup

This church protest is another example. No one was injured. People in the congregations were supposedly also angry. But for the vast majority of people outside, this is all they will see. It's not that protesters "took the bait." It's that the federal government desperately wants to escalate.

Not only are the MNGOP complicit in this occupation, they also were directly responsible for bringing Nick Shirley to Minnesota that precipitated the occupation to begin with. Lisa Demuth, GOP Speaker of the House and candidate for gov, brought this to our doorstep. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

Kinda funny that Trump thinks "asylum" means other countries send people from insane asylums, and a) this is real life, not a ham-handed Idiocracy-type satire, b) he has surely been corrected several times but is incapable of updating his priors, & c) most media politely agree not to mention it.

people who have been divided on every local issue are doing things to help take care of each other. the only divide that matters right now is helpers or not. i’ve never seen an amount of unity and support like this. it really is Us vs Them

Something pretty infuriating about this photo, and about this guy telling anyone about the honorable way to do anything.

So this church, where the pastor is also a high-ranking ICE official, was protested and confronted by members of the congregation and community yesterday, and now ICE is hosting a press event about how protested are persecuting Christians. The place will likely be teeming with right-wing influencers
CONFIRMED:

Earlier today Don Lemon reported a protest at Cities Church in St. Paul, MN where they said pastor David Easterwood is Acting Director of the ICE Field Office.

They were 100% right.

If any local media cover the Ice agent Pastor and don’t cover the fact that Ice have been targeting church goers I will personally show up at their house and throw eggs at them

That’s MY Minnesota. And I will share it with anyone who also loves their neighbor.

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we reflect on Dr. King’s enduring call for justice, equality, and action. Even in these challenging times, Dr. King’s courage and faith remind us to stand together with resolve and compassion.

Trump trying to start a weird stupid war no one wants out of spite because he's mad about not getting a Nobel Peace Prize is dead center "gag you would leave in drafts because it is both too obvious and not funny." Obviously this is all bad but it is also just incredibly hack. What a way to go.

Honestly boycotting the World Cup would be the most effective and probably the least disruptive of all of the options available to Europe. I’m not sure how you can send teams and fans to contribute to a spectacle designed entirely to celebrate a guy trying to invade your territory.

Senate Democrats working on a bold plan to strongly oppose the invasion or purchase of Greenland by offering voters a system of Greenland Tax Credits via a means-tested GSA (Greenland Spending Account) that they can use on qualified Greenland-related expenses.
