Hey, hi, hello 👋🏻

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are good things. Being woke (meaning “awakened to the historical and present injustices of non-white people in America, and other nations”) is a good thing.

If you use “DEI” or “woke” as a pejorative, unfollow me. Or be blocked.
My father was lucky to have his prostate cancer caught in very early stages in his late 60’s/early 70’s. Treatment was simple & as painless as any of these issues ever are.

Even with family history, my doctor still won’t recommend I get a colonoscopy until 45 (turn 41 later this year).
Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

Six days ago federal officers murdered a man in the streets of Minneapolis and we still don't know their identities. Is there any modern precedent for this?

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.

Decide. Who are you?

Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers.

Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024.

And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary.

The system is rigged.

Wonder Man is easily in my top 3 Marvel Television projects. Yahya Abdul Mateen II and Sir Ben Kingsley are both excellent, and their chemistry really is key to the relationship that drives the show. Some fun (& ridiculous) L.A. celebrity cameos are a treat, but Simon’s story is the star. 👍🏻 👍🏻

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Trump claims he’s cracking down on fraud in Minnesota — while pardoning actual fraudsters.

Over half of his 88 individual pardons have been for white collar crimes, including money laundering, bank fraud, and wire fraud.

It’s all part of his pay-to-pardon scheme.

I mean… fuck this guy. What a ghoul. Absolute monster. Fuck him.
Trump on Renee Good: "When she was shot, there was another woman that was screaming 'Shame. Shame Shame Shame.' So loud. Like a professional opera singer. She was so loud. And so professional. She wasn't a woman that was hurt like, 'Oh my heart is injured.' She was a professional."

Yes. ICE service is being sold to disaffected MAGA goons as an opportunity to wage a campaign of cleansing, restorative violence against Americans as an act of patriotic national service. And most normies now see that this isn't anything akin to real law enforcement.

Something I desperately need everyone to understand is that the entire modern conservative movement, from Buckley to Trump and from the Heritage Foundation to the Federalist Society, exists as a direct backlash to the Warren Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Ed.

Never forget that Henry Ford was awarded the highest Nazi civilian honor given to a non-German in 1938, and helped with publishing one of the most virulent and dangerous pieces of antisemitic propaganda of all time.

Fuck Ford.
The worker who called Trump a “pedophile protector” has been suspended.

He says he has “definitely no regrets whatsoever,” adding: “I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity. And today I think I did that.” wapo.st/4sG38CD

Wow — New YouGov / Economist poll:

43% oppose abolishing ICE

This is the first time that abolishing ICE has received net positive support

That is just a start, of course.

I know Dems have limited power right now but they should use every bit of it that they do have.

And they ALWAYS have the power to flood the zone with constant, consistent, pull-no-fucking-punches messages about the GOP murderers they will REMOVE and PUNISH asap!

“But what do you expect Democrats to doo-hooo?”

1) Refuse to fund this criminal government anymore.

2) EVERY one of them call to abolish ICE (and bonus, DHS). No more “they need training” shit. Promise prosecutions.

3) EVERY one of them call for Trump’s impeachment, relentlessly, EVERY day.

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.

A citizen.

Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.

"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.

Agents took and sold his phone

And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

ICE not only manhandled and terrorized a 10th grader who is an American citizen, they stole his phone. And then they sold it.

I repeat, they stole his phone, and then they sold it.

If ICE asks about your neighbors, you don't got neighbors. They could be standing on their porch right then and there.

Twitter is the world’s largest generator of CSAM & non-consensual porn by a margin of about 8000%, and somehow… MSM isn’t even reporting on it.

(also includes advice for reporting ‘deepfake harassment’ to police if it escalates to a point where restraining order is necessary)

ICE agents are sociopaths with no regard for human life. The Hague doesn't have enough cells for all these lowlifes.
Trump's thugs are going hog wild and tossing gas around in one of the busiest commercial districts in Minneapolis, just a mile or so from where I live. Complete insanity.
