This is concerning, that a rep feels they must post this. A lot in our coalition has felt the same way and worried about it, but didn’t think we’d be here publicly.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

This weeks episode will feature just a short live set. Then a listen to some recordings from the early 2000’s in Marquette, of John Shepich and I playing funny songs.

Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.
All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit.

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.

When everything feels uncertain, I look to the rhythms of the land. They teach me to trust what I can’t yet see.
Pause for a moment today. Notice what’s quietly growing around you, and within you.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

US citizen. Public servant. Licensed to carry a firearm but had no weapon in hand when killed. Attacked by ICE agents with chemical munitions for no reason, then shot.
The time for talking is over. If you are an elected leader you have to tell us *now* what you are doing to end this nightmare ASAP.

So the “everyone should be armed” second amendment crowd is using the fact the a man was armed (maybe) as justification?

This Fridays pizza was Detroit style. It was delicious and everyone had scarfed it all down before the end of the movie’s opening credits!
It’s crispy, but I’m thinking I need to grease up the pan with something butterish. That can handle high temps achieve that classic buttery crispness. #pizza
