"Oh you too hon! Stay safe in that traffic, fuck ICE!'

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Just out here begging nonprofit boards to understand the difference between development & finance. Development deals with relationships, fundraising, pledges, promises, and commitments. Finance deals with invoices, cash flow, budgeting, and dollars brought in.

Imagine your job consisting of the angriest people you've ever seen in your entire life yelling at you 24/7 and throwing bottles of piss in your car while you battle the subzero elements they don't even bat an eyelash about.
Imagine the toll that takes on your psyche. May they never find peace.

One night during the 2020 George Floyd protests in Cincy, the SWAT team *lost* the vehicles that had their gear inside. Protestors getting their hands on ICE's entire ops plan for MN tastes even sweeter

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.
It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.
America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

Boy howdy I tell you what, I'm a grown ass woman but when my folks start arguing I'm ten years old again, helpless and terrified, trying to protect my younger siblings while I also try to mediate between my parents to create peace. Oldest daughter, responsible for everyone, checking in. 😓

pride is next week
pride wasn't brought to you by delta air lines, microsoft, coca-cola or even the democratic party. it was brought to you by trans women throwing bricks at cops and lesbians taking care of gay men dying of AIDS during reagan.
do not forget where we came from. now more than ever.

If you're only following this "debate" through popular media you probably have the impression that studies on youth gender medicine are roughly split between benefits and harms.
Nope! Nearly every study finds benefits. The "debate" is just a bunch of people going, "Those don't count."

Kudos to everyone participating in the various Flying Pig races this weekend! I'm definitely not a running sort of person, but I'm intrigued, perplexed, & impressed by those who are.

Blue Prince Day 21: figured out how to run instead of just sauntering around my soon-to-be inheritance.
One of these things was infinitely more helpful than the other. 🤣
