"lesser of two evils".

if you are referring to the last presidential election, and you say this, you really have not been paying attention.

just because YOU do not personally agree with some of the stances of a politician does not make them evil.

you are creating a false equivalence.

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social Thanks for all the Minneapolis love. My daughter moved to the Cities a few years ago. I’ve had quite a few sleepless nights recently.

Republicans need to take a stand. This is an assault on the Constitution.

1st Amendment: peaceful assembly.

2nd Amendment: Alex Pretti was a lawful gun owner.

4th Amendment: unreasonable search and seizure.

You can’t call yourself a defender of liberty if you won’t defend it when it counts.

I'm not a sports person but it feels like we really should be asking European allies to push for a boycott of all sporting events hosted in the US, very much including the World Cup.

And it should be explicitly in response to human rights violations, not just IR horrors.

He died exercising his First Amendment rights. He was a lawful gun owner. Anyone with eyes can see he was holding nothing more than a phone. He was executed while restrained by five men. These are crimes against humanity.
Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

This is why it’s so important to see all the video you can before making a judgement (looking at you DHS). Video appears to show the victim trying to protect another person & being pulled down by agents. There needs to be a credible investigation, not one by CBP/ICE www.reddit.com/r/minnesota/...

How is this at all helpful?

The Dems fell over themselves backwards to warn Americans what another Trump presidency would be like and the voters failed the assignment. Back then, folks like you were bitching that Dems kept talking about Project 2025 and not about kitchen table issues enough. 🙄

Steven Skarsgård at the European Film Awards in Berlin on Saturday night, regarding Greenland:

“It’s absurd, isn’t it? It’s a little man who got megalomania, and he’s trying to take the world. He took Venezuela, suddenly, and that’s for Chevron. He’ll take Greenland for minerals. He’s a criminal.”

Here’s a comment for the people who are upset that MN hasn’t charged Jonathan Ross already:

If you just Leeeroy Jenkins this shit you will lose and you will empower fascism and murder.

It is indescribably hard to prosecute cops for murder. It is even hard when the murder is ON VIDEO.
