My favorite goalie ever is in net, but for the other team. So now I’m here cheering for my team to shoot and also cheering every time they make a save. #playoffhockey #pwhl #mnfrost #cj

A month ago, Trump was at the height of his power and popularity.
Today, Trump is facing mounting backlash and Republicans are hiding from constituents.

So can Americans just like opt-in to being under a Zelensky presidency instead? Based solely on what I watched today I think I’d vastly prefer that option.

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.
I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

I mean OF COURSE money buys happiness. Even the studies where they're like, "after x amount it stops making you happier" great then if I have that much, I'll pay for somebody else's happiness. If I get rich I'm buying a round of joy for the house. This is so easy.

The Trump administration, along with Elon Musk’s staffers, has jeopardized the security of the C.I.A. by making employee names public—a move both illegal and dangerous. Current officials confirmed that the C.I.A. sent employee names to the OPM, complying with an executive order signed by Trump.

I couldn’t be there today, but thanks for protesting! Keep calling your reps and putting good into the world, too! ❤️
Feels like the start of something.

I urge Minnesotans who work for the federal government to be extremely cautious when it comes to Trump's buyout offer. The benefits being offered are not guaranteed.
I recommend federal employees listen to the guidance of their unions on this matter.

DO NOT BE FOOLED what Trump was saying about mental illness is ab*lism. And ab*lism is always quickly followed by eug*nics. They are going to rebrand it in some horse 💩 way. Squash it now. Call it out now. If you hear anybody spouting any ab*list bull, call👏it👏out👏

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall.
They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+.
Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them.
I think about it a lot in moments like this.

Might be a stretch for #wipwednesday but we’ve been having fun this week adding some of the delicious recipes we’re learning from xiaohongshu (rednote) to our repertoire of meals! This is eggs, chives, and rice. Super simple, delicious breakfast. Plus I’m getting lots of practice with my chopsticks!

I’ve heard from community health centers in Minnesota who are already looking at layoffs by the end of the day. May not be able to make payroll at the end of the week.
