Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

Dear men: Watching content and falling for it is not going to help you bring back the old fashion days. We can do better.

We have an update on the Liam Ramos family, and it isn’t good.
The family is in hiding, and Liam is waking up in the middle of the night screaming for his daddy.
