"Liberals need to get out of their media bubble."
Motherfucker, I cannot get you right-wing morons to stop talking. I cannot get you to shut up. I hear every fucking conspiracy theory, self-serving lie, and cruel grift. I'm not in a leftist bubble, I'm fucking *handcuffed* to far-right media.

Sooner or later Bovine is going to try to dry clean that monstrosity of a jacket, and I want Minnesota to get it and keep it like the VA battle flag. That tiny ‘I am a weak man’ jacket.

“After you murder someone you should send a series of cryptic letters in some sort of unbreakable code. That’s the responsible — I would say, the fatherly — thing to do.”
Ted Cruz: "What I think the administration could do better is the tone with which they're describing this. Immediately when an incident like this happens, they come out guns blazing that 'we took out a violent terrorist. Hooray."

Idk I kinda think we should bring beliefs like this back. Tell them we gotta fix global warming asap or the Leviathan will escape. We gotta sacrifice another billionaire to the ocean or the harvest will be bad and food will get more expensive
a not insignificant number of people on Threads seem to believe the snow storm was The Government's attempt to refreeze the Leviathan, the world-eating serpent, which was getting loose (to eat the world, I assume)

When this is over, the entire fortunes of Trump and every member of his cabinet need to be appropriated and distributed to their victims as reparations.

Everyone is paranoid today and it’s not helpful. I get it, but please take a deep breath, do some stretches or something, and consider this thread before jumping on your neighbors
It’s actually really liberating from the grip of paranoia to assume you’re being read or listened to and act accordingly. If you assume what you say is public, if you don’t want someone to see it or hear it, don’t say it or do it. But if you do say it, say it with your whole chest

There is a parent out there who is going to have to decide whether they watch a video of their child being shot in cold blood while lying on the ground after being beaten. a parent who will have to wonder for the rest of their life how scared their baby was in that moment.

Not in MN? Stuck inside sick with a house full of sick ppl (ahem)? You can still support the strike! 1) check out the list of more than 1000 (!) local businesses and institutions closed today. See who has gift cards, will open a local tab for community, or has an affiliated fundraiser.

I know I keep posting about this but every time I check, the list gets longer and longer and longer. Hundreds and hundreds of places, everything from huge local institutions to small spots that will definitely struggle.
No exaggeration, it's the most astonishing act of solidarity I've ever seen.
