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.

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power.

They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

Human trafficking is the purest, most honest expression of capitalism.

The capitalists doing it are regarded as the most effective capitalists, and that's not a coincidence. Real estate moguls, CEOs, DAVOS keynotes. They're all monsters.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

it's not, and if you've ever had so much as a moment of joy while bad things exist you should be ashamed

the next time you smile at a sunrise, remember: you're smiling with Hitler
Its actually good and okay to try and find moments of joy during the horrors. Dont let anyone shame you for it.

Hey remember PublicSquare, that website where MAGA humpers listed their own businesses in the deluded idea that it would work out well for them?

It backfired spectacularly.
Website For MAGA-Friendly Businesses Backfires As People Use It For Boycotts
Social media posts about PublicSquare have gone viral as Trump critics use it to find companies not to support – the opposite of what the site was set up for.

These people cannot imagine being such a part of a community that the bicycle shop mourns you. It's as alien to them as a language they don't speak.

Definitely make sure your veteran kin know ICE killed a VA nurse. Almost everyone* who has needed the VA comes out the VA’s partisan, and a fierce protector of it. ICE, undisciplined yahoos, harms the agency that is there for veterans when everyone else fails them.

*There are always assholes.

The first Minnesota murder, they refused to let a medical professional help the woman they shot. The second Minnesota murder, they simply shot the medical professional.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Went to grab the link to my article from almost a decade ago about children's literature whitewashing George Washington's slaveholding. It was published in the journal Social Education.

Colleagues, if you didn't know, AI is now summarizing our articles on Google. I'm pissed. This is not OK.

"First thing the Nazis did was gun control" is a popular right-wing lie. The first thing the Nazis did was this: selectively restricting those rights for the group they intended to target for eradication while loosening gun restrictions on everyone else.

Literally everyone who even vaguely knew what a tariff was said this when they were introduced! You don’t need a team of economists to analyze the situation — no one who lives in reality was confused by this!
“Foreign exporters absorbed only 4% of last year’s U.S. tariff increases by lowering prices, while American consumers and importers absorbed 96%.

“Rather than acting as a tax on foreign producers, the tariffs functioned as a consumption tax on Americans.”

hey I like that we're all posting thru it but I also wanted to say, in case anybody else is feeling it, that I'm pretty scared and genuinely think that we've passed a real rubicon in the past week or so and that being at the mercy of a handful of dumbfuck lunatics really does a number on your soul.

Remember that one time when a court ordered ICE to stop doing this and people were like "see the system is working calm down" and then ICE ignored them completely and kept doing the same shit

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

I’m starting to wonder if looking genuinely happy and acting like you really love the city is a more effective way to campaign (and govern) than scowling about what a shithole the city is and how many more cops it will take to subdue it.
Outside Gracie Mansion. This is his job. But dare I day it he seems genuinely affected and happy to be there. There’s potentially immense power in that.
