I’m glad bi athletes have Olympic representation in shooting and skiing, but I don’t think they should restrict sports by sexual orientation.

If we absolutely *must* have oligarchs and robber barons, can we at least restart the practice of having them fund libraries, museums, concert halls, parks, and major infrastructure projects as a peace offering to keep the working class from staging an uprising?

With the immediate removal of 700 federal agents from Minnesota, border czar Tom Homan put the total number of agents remaining in the state at approximately 2,000.
That’s still a dramatic increase from the normal immigration and enforcement staffing in Minnesota of around 150 agents.

Once again here to tap the mic and say Texas is a gerrymandered, voter repressed state, not a "red" state. And every one of you celebrating the (significant) win in Tarrant County better not be the same people in my mentions saying to throw the whole South away. There are good people fighting.

Nothing like having the local weirdo, who likes to stomp around town with an AR-15 and a burning Pride flag, show up at your kid’s school to scream about deporting the “illegals” whom he solely blames for his property taxes going up.

Offspring and I had a musical cultural exchange on the way home from school today. She let me listen to a Spanish techno song (that still somehow had a mandolin involved? And it worked surprisingly well!) and I introduced her to Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth.”

The immanent contradiction of dominance masculinity is that it both claims absolute authority and strength and also cannot countenance even the slightest challenge.
We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

I'm old enough to remember when SCOTUS ruled in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen that carrying a firearm in public for ordinary self-defense purposes was a constitutionally protected right.
These comments would be instant political suicide for any other U.S. elected official.

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

MAGA folk insist on the “paid protestor” myth because they do not understand caring about anything that doesn’t immediately benefit them, or anyone they don’t see as belonging to them.

"We must love one another or die."
Defenceless under the night
Our world in stupor lies;
Yet, dotted everywhere,
Ironic points of light
Flash out wherever the Just
Exchange their messages:
May I, composed like them
Of Eros and of dust,
Beleaguered by the same
Negation and despair,
Show an affirming flame.
— W.H. Auden, Sept. 1, 1939
