New mutual aid request!
This time it’s a Mpls family of six (incl an infant) facing extreme hardship.

Right now they need $3,000 for housing, food, and health expenses. We’d love to get there by Monday—can you pitch in?

Excess funds will be passed on to another mutual aid fund.

I think there's probably a cat corollary here. For sure we have a 2) cat who is a tuxedo. When we got a kitten (also tuxedo) who was a 1) he tried valiantly to make the dipshit a 2) but it just didn't take.
No matter the breed, every dog has one of three default dispositions:

1. Dipshit
2. Has a Job
3. Trying to Pick a Fight with God

#Minneapolis Personal Me: This is so much b.s. This AM, neighbors on my friend’s block foiled a kidnapping despite being assaulted and gassed. A school bus driver had to block the door to keep them from entering the bus while they were at it. 4 legal observers were kidnapped near us yesterday. 😡

In the 1970s, as part of vet school, my father spent a summer working on a dairy farm.

If you bring up the subject of pasteurization, for any reason, in any location in his house, he somehow senses it, and basically comes barreling over to tell you, in VERY GREAT DETAIL, about how gross cows are.
Someone once said, "Raw milk nonsense HAD to start in cities because anyone who's ever been within 100 feet of a cow knows exactly the problem pasteurization is solving."

One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office.

Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

Dad wanted to name me Claire. Then Mum was in labor for 3+ days and she got to name the baby.
introduce yourself with the name your parents almost gave you

i was originally supposed to be Arthur, after my paternal grandfather who had just died; but my still-living maternal grandfather threw an absolute shitfit about being disrespected, so I got saddled with his name
introduce yourself with the name your parents almost gave you

would I still use an art alias if I was named "Chevy King" like my dad wanted? Probably

Lessee: sick of the Franco-Prussian war; sick of the first Russian Revolution of 1905 (Lithuanian edition); sick of Calvinism; alcoholism; possibly just being Prussian. There's a bunch I don't even know, but it seems like many were like, the fuck out of these dumb wars.
Genuinely curious: If your family is American, what brought them here?

Oh goodie. So the next mother of three ICE shoots in the face won't have to hold the camera to film the murder. Glad we're freeing up their hands.

Interesting thread
I’ve been going back and forth on this but this clinches it—I think these guys really want a Persian Gulf labor model in the US. It’s not a coherent philosophy—nothing ever is with these assholes—but I’ve worked on Gulf labor stuff and I’m seeing more and more of it here. Long thread 1/

If a university student group had celebrated Charlie Kirk being killed, complete with a graphic made from an actual picture of the killing, the whole lot of them would have been expelled before the ink on the digital story was dry.

Oh my god, I just read the Chotiner interview, and if I were Spinotti I'd change my name, do a Face/Off, and move to a cave in north Wales and eat onions for the rest of my life. Like I'm still shivering from vicarious embarrassment.

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

One of the most depressing things about trying to sound the alarm on the "Gender Critical" movement back when it was gaining traction, was that one of the main transphobic activists of the 2010s was a woman who had groomed a minor under her care, and everyone just stuffed their fingers in their ears
I’m not allowed to safely use a public bathroom because a literal island of pedophiles said trans people might be sketchy.

… and somehow that’s barely a sliver of the things that happened thanks to a literal island of pedophiles making stuff up.

We ended up in a legal dispute with someone who used GhatGPT as their lawyer. We used a real lawyer. Guess how that went for them.

Trump gave a foreign power access to America's highly advanced and protected AI chips in exchange his personal enrichment of half a billion dollars.

This makes Watergate look as if Nixon had driven three miles over the speed limit once.

Oh my gosh, this is such a good idea. I can never get it together to use my stupid miles anyway.
Okay! This has already inspired a bunch of DMs, so I made a page on the website. If you have 50,000+ Skymiles and would be willing to book flights to get someone home, please fill this out.

I cannot stress enough to people who are not from Minneapolis that the news you have seen in the past week about things calming, and messaging from our electeds at *every level higher than City Council* that local agencies will protect us... That's all fucking LIES.
Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt needs to stop assisting ICE. It’s very clear that the sheriff’s department has been harassing, intimidating, arresting and coming out in force to assist ICE. They have been using force against neighbors who are working to protect our immigrant neighbors. 2/
