So, @radleybalko.bsky.social went back and read news dispatches from pre-Revolution Boston and it turns out what Colonists experienced under British occupation was a lot like Minneapolis under Trump. Also, if you want lots of wild photos and video all in one place, Radley provides.
Donald Trump’s Twin Cities onslaught feels a lot like the British tyranny in colonial Boston
Centuries-old dispatches show how his administration has betrayed our founding principles.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

It’s quite likely that being called a “fucking bitch” is one of the last things a dying Renee Good ever heard.

I demand leaders who are as filled with pure, diamond-hard rage over this as I am.

I believe this is absolutely not asking for too much.
Not to be too morbid, but today's reporting is that she was actually still alive for several minutes. He said that to her while she was dying.

I heard some old friends at Pod Save America were in town, so I decided to stop by. As we saw this week, we can change this country for the better. But it’s going to take all of us getting organized and having honest conversations about the best way forward.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

Good news! The Civil Servants’ Declaration we helped write urges including such language in the budget bill.

“Use the power of the purse …, for ex by removing funds from OMB if indep commissioners, who were unlawfully fired, are not reinstated.”

Now ~1500 fed worker signers.

See this is very sharp, but it's the kind of thing that should populate the budget bill. Any illegal impoundment should result in the immediate elimination of the presidential travel budget, for example.

The fact that Disney fears Trump but not the blowback from the American people shows that business leaders having already written us off as defeated.

It is critical that we prove them wrong. Disney must feel real consequences so that others will think twice.

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

Good morning ppl! There are a 1000 things to rail against today. The overwhelming nature of it all is a feature not a bug. Give yourself a pass on not knowing everything about all this shit going down. Focus on a passion area and track that. Your brain and body will thank you.

He was humiliated last weekend. This weekend he bombed someone.

My guess is there is a relationship between those two events.
