I’m starting to think Minnesota may be the tipping point for a lot of normies. Because on some level, a lot of folks expect crazy shit on the streets of LA or Chicago or DC. But Minnesota? “Minnesota Nice” Minnesota? I think it could make folks realize “if it could happen there, it could anywhere”
The US Department of Agriculture suspends all federal funding to Minnesota, effective immediately.

I know it’s the done thing to be tolerant of kids in public, but when they’re at the pastry shop running full speed and screaming, opening & closing pastry cases, and practically mowing down other customers while barely supervised, you can kinda see why tolerance might be…difficult.

This from an American is…well, it would be hilarious if he weren’t going to use it as a pretext for more illegal invasions.
Trump talks about Denmark and Greenland just now: "The fact that they landed a boat there 500 years ago doesn't mean that they own the land."

Just when I was thinking about starting to lift at the gym again, I have suddenly developed what I think is tennis elbow? Don’t know how. All of sudden hurts to grip things.
So fuck you too, body. I didn’t want to go to the gym that bad anyway.
(Gonna make moving in a few weeks SUPER fun 😡)

Right. The point is not “it matters extra because it’s a citizen,” the point is “we either hang together or we will all hang separately.”
i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

Okay, Booksky, I’m in desperate need of a bit of escapism because of…everything.
Does anyone have any fantasy recommendations similar in tone to The Goblin Emperor? By that I mean good people enduring through perilous times & coming out ahead in the end. Not cozy fantasy, but hopeful.

I want to find the consultant who convinced Dems to stick with this framing, tie them to a stake, light a match, and tell everyone they have to decide between caring about saving them or caring about milk being 2% cheaper
The White House is laser focused on threatening a military takeover of Greenland.
Where’s the same focus on lowering costs?

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.
A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."
Bovino was there.

If Dems aren't throwing fireballs and making this into the biggest story ever, dump all of them. If any piece of shit in office talks about lowering costs instead of "Trump is taking over countries and ice is killing Americans on the street," they're in on it. And let em know if it's your Rep or Sen
Someone who claims to have witnessed the incident says
- car was blocking ice
- they told them to move
- "something happened'
- ICE shot into the car as it was driving away
- passenger got out of the car covered away and said friend was dead
There is video and I have seen it

I get that I’m spoiled by changing the font size on my ebooks for readability, but you can’t convince me that the tiny font in this hard copy I got from the library is bigger than 8 point and that’s just ridiculous. I’m OLD FFS. 😆

I have nothing but contempt for this kind of thinking or political advocacy; anyone who joins this man's campaign is taking up with the opposition.
He waves no battle standard, his white flag is ironed, clean, unimprovised, and ready to be unfurled.

Predator force. Yeah yeah yeah. These are tiny men who love to sound macho.
But what blood have we spilled defending Greenland?

Ogles: "It's important that we have a stake in Greenland, that they are quite frankly a protectorate of the US. They've been in relationship with Denmark - that needs to end. We've spilled more blood protecting Greenland than the Danes... we are the dominant predator force in the Western Hemisphere"

Do you think he knows that when he says stupid shit like “I’d rather be wrong than weak” he sounds like Trump? Like I’ve sometimes gotten “Trump for liberals” vibes from him before, but it’s rarely been so front & center. Dude gives me the creeps.

It’s his “singular focus” because if he talked about any of his actual stances people might realize he’s just a Never Trumper Republican. 🙄

The best part is there’s a nonzero chance the “interim authorities” in Venezuela he was talking to don’t exist, aren’t actual interim authorities, or are about to release a statement contradicting all of this. Ain’t it “fun” having a president who’s a pathological liar also succumbing to dementia?

The best thing that happened to me online was Facebook locking down my account when it was hacked while I was taking a social media break. I didn’t find out about it for a week or two, but Facebook said I waited too long & disabled my account permanently. I never made another & never looked back.
I visit facebook every day to check my messages (a shocking number of the people I do business with seem to only communicate via facebook) and I steel myself every time not to get sucked into some drama or slop or some relatives MAGA rantings. It’s the worst
