Remember when Kamala Harris literally told Palestinians to shut the fuck up and kicked them out of the DNC?
Remember when she had a trigger happy border sheriff speak about the importance of funding ICE?
I do.

Not just "too little", theyve aided and abetted the nazis roaming our streets. Here's Walz calling for night raids

"I'm gonna give Homan the benefit of the doubt"
"They should coordinate with local law enforcement, pick these people up in the middle of the night when they're not suspecting it"
Walz is capitulating to fascists and encouraging night raids. Genuinely disgusting. Why would anyone settle for this?

i guess that's proof that ICE isnt leaving.
Minnesotans stood together, stared down ICE, and never blinked.

With all the literal horror happening in this world, if a person thinking, "I'm this gender but it would make me happy to be another gender" is at the top of your list of things to be freaked out about, please transition to sanity.

I love how they named those little mints Andes after the mountains where plane crash survivors ate their dead to stay alive. So cute!

Someone told me lately "Bluesky is just like Twitter." I argued that was untrue on the basis that last time I had a Twitter account most times I got a new follower their bio said "single & looking for fun" & here when I get a new follower it tends to say something like "professor of rare moths".

compliance is bad enough. overcompliance is a whole other level of cowardice.
Update: FAMU says banning the word Black from a law student’s Black History Month flyer was a mistake, and the result of an “overly cautious interpretation” of Florida law

This was ALL I could think about during that bullshit “press conference”. I wanted someone to ask Homan: didn’t your men conduct an (against policy) high speed pursuit in a residential area *yesterday*?!

I think people are celebrating too soon.
This is all due to the incredible resistance of the people of Minnesota.
Their resilience - and their determination - helped enforce the Constitution in a way that political elites in Congress and the courts did not or could not.
I have never been prouder to be a Minnesotan.

The Dems should invent a board game where voters get their donor lists and a list of predators from the Epstein files and see how many matches they can make. Voters can play it on the kitchen table so it's a "kitchen-table issue".
I cannot stress enough this is a totally made up conundrum and you do not actually need to field test if talking about how our entire government is controlled by child rapists is interesting.
Democrats Are Field-Testing New Ways to Talk About the Epstein Scandal
How much do the Epstein files have to do with kitchen-table issues? The Democratic Party is debating ahead of the midterms.

I usually dont believe in giving people a cookie for doing what they should do, but I'm beginning to wonder if Nixon should be praised for resigning when the system was designed to protect him no matter what.

dang, if i was going to bet on who bought a 6 pack of beer before this interview I would have lost the bet.
Rep. Brian Steil: "I flew home to my home state of Wisconsin, went to buy a 6 pack a beer, the clerk asked for my ID, confirmed it, and then I was allowed to buy the beer. I just think it's nuts that we protect our beer more than our ballots."

Gen Zers and millennials are swimming in student debt and may never own homes, but they’re splurging on gut-healthy juices and rotisserie chickens.
