I think our msm is gonna lose their minds in the next year or so… they are so disconnected from the vast majority of Americans. I look forward to their breathless shocked coverage of shit we all see coming
I don’t think regular Americans actually are shrugging it off (see: Minnesota) I think it’s our fully fascist-captured media environment pushing that as the story

There have been a lot of dunks on this photo (and why not?). But here's my somewhat more serious take:
Every gun shop in America seems to have a neurodivergent young guy who hangs out there all the time and knows more about guns than most.
Those guys are *easily* radicalized.

Part of the answer to “Why are so many mainstream columnists and pundits saying such transparently stupid stuff?” is that they’re still on X, and view the world through the perspective X brings them, and that perspective is dramatically warped.

My actual job description is activist and here’s what I tell people in despair all the time: do not underestimate how much harm you can prevent by being just a little bit annoying.
This is one reason I keep trying to remind people of the power that we have. That we have *always* had. Not because I’m in denial, but because I know history. I’m no sophisticated intellectual, but I do know we’re going to win even though the bad shit is really terrible right now.
Too many people on Bluesky think that relentless expressions of despair are a sign of intellectual sophistication.

Yes. And the rock was probably put there on purpose by men who wanted uneducated people to control.
This is why we don’t leave any state or county or town behind. Nobody deserves to grow up under a rock. Especially one they would never have the power to move.

I have confirmed the gist of this report out of federal court in Minnesota today from a source familiar.
If you have more information about the District of Minnesota—either the court or the U.S. Attorney's Office—and how they are handling all of this, please reach out. I am at crg.32 on Signal.
