I am to find something, anything, to look forward to that I decided to try watching House, bc maybe a full series will shut off my brain and save me.
And while it is crazy sexist and sort of ridiculous just three eps in, it also is a sort of perfect ADHD/neurodivergent show for These Times.

Real Q: Why does “the left” always settle? By that I mean, what about past and current political strategy—and the people who run it—convinces enough of the left to settle for simply “winning” over meaningful, sustainable change?

We have reached peak bleak. When Amy Klobuchar is touted as “our last hope” for MN governor and for the DFL party in general, we only have ourselves to blame for settling for mediocre that opened the doors wide open to fascism.

The thing I dislike most about the first Monday after a “holiday” is the vigor with which people go back to and participate in work.
The immediacy of “getting back in the swing” of things as if the ways we have to work every day are somehow “normal” or even practical.

Speak of helicopters…I have some details and data about the new-ish helicopters I was going to put together to share/get feedback on last week, but lost track of time w/holidays.
Will get it up soon!

Okay, I don't know where it started but I now had several people on two different apps & timelines talking about Heated Rivalry *clearly* being a sapphic story because a woman wrote it and it's so filled with care, consent and softness, obviously it's from a woman & quintessentially sapphic.

This government is doing gutter racism and it should horrifying America-loving Americans.
This should not be shrugged aside. They have stopped with the fake 22 million illegal immigrants things and are flat out saying we want to deport 10's of millions of citizens and legal residents from "third world countries" Basically they are advocating removing 1/3 of the population on a gov site.

What the local media is missing is that Nick Shirley isn’t an “independent influencer/journalist.”
He’s a paid propagandist being spoon fed stories by a dangerous right-wing propaganda machine that uses so-called influencers who aren’t beholden to any standards of transparency or accountability.

This 23-year-old right-wing YouTuber from Utah was granted rare access to the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT), the authoritarian mega-prison in El Salvador.
Strangely enough, he also happened to be in Minneapolis on the very day Trump’s federal forces descended on Lake and Bloomington.

I cannot get out from under the medical debt that has hounded me since 2020-2023, when I had a carotid artery dissection & more brain/renal aneurysms were found, leading to a diagnosis of Fibromuscular Dysplasia (FMD) in 2023.

There is no reason to ever make or buy any Bloody Mary mix when Zing Zang exists.
Call me a basic b if you want, but my little St. Louis “hosier” heart will always be satisfied with a Zing Zang Bloody Mary, spicy Rotel cheese dip, and some French Onion dip (aka EffOhDEEEE) any day.

Ope. Just another Strib story that normalizes and legitimizes state power and authoritarianism. Here they are “aw-shucksing” Trump and Lindell and treating election denial as a personality.
Imagine instead: “Trump signals support for election denier Mike Lindell, testing political normalization.”

O’Hara/Frey’s copaganda campaign also exposes the media’s failure. No one has asked the most basic question: "When officers observe conduct that may constitute felony assault, what is the required process for opening an investigation—and why wasn’t it initiated here?"

I just remembered this guy I was “science class friends” with in high school who called me “Molly Who Cares,” and I’d say “Who Cares?!” really exasperated teen-exaggeratedly to make him laugh during lab.
He left the Phil Collins CD with “I Don’t Care Anymore” on my desk as a joke gift one day.

Its also just words from O'Hara, NONE OF IT has been proved with ACTION yet. He can talk and talk and talk all he wants to make himself seem human, but he STILL has not released the reports on Davis Moturi shooting, Mariah Samuels Shooting STILL under consent decree & not in compliance there.
The way people are praising O’Hara—including progressives—says so much about how we’re conditioned to expect below the bare minimum of humanity from cops that their bare minimum is seen as “powerful.”
But this isn’t about humanity. It’s about the MPD worrying it still won’t be able to solve crimes.

MPD assisted ICE at 29th and Pillsbury. I saw it with my own eyes. They created a pathway and controlled the public space for ICE to kidnap our neighbors. The silence on this has been depressing.
