If your law is good when there are good people in office, but dangerous when there are bad people in office, your law is bad.
Separately and notably, GLAAD — which dropped its opposition to KOSA last year after changes to the bill, easing its path to Democratic support — told me it now wants lawmakers to review the bill in light of "changes in the FTC and other government leadership." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Everyone should call the governor and demand WFH for Minnesota workers that reduce traffic by letting people stay home if they want and support neighborhoods throughout the cities by allowing people to stay in their own communities rather than commute.

C'mon, these folks have both intelligence and agency--denying them that helps nothing. They *chose* their information environment because it reinforced the things they wanted to be true.

We should be looking for parkways we can take back from cars. Some of which are obvious.
Get cars off cedar lake parkway completely. The paths are narrow and crowded and France Avenue goes all the same places.
The driver of this car doesn't know that bicycles are allowed on the parkway. They honked at us incessantly disturbing not only us, but probably everyone at cedar lake 😡

If you're a Twin Cities local who values Smitten Kitten (a sweet and educational sex shop in Minneapolis) they're holding a 20% off sale to try and save the store right now.

Check it out and keep it hopping. Line was out the door when I arrived

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison.

It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

Also isn’t that basically how we got here in the first place? Because they all wanted to forgive and forget instead of finishing Reconstruction
There’s a pocket of white people on here saying we should wait it out and be kind to the Nazis to get them out of the cult and to that I say….

I think the fuck not.

this isn’t an issue of “the left”. it’s an issue of white people misconstruing Black terminology and then getting mad when a Black person calls it out. The problem is white people on the left think they’ve mastered racism, so things like this trigger you

Hey so FYI this is why a lot of us believe billionaires should not exist. Because no one should be rich enough to topple a government

Democrats: "We uhh... we have to stop him!"

Our Minsky moment when everyone realizes these morons are serious is a one two punch of actually tariffing our closest allies while simultaneously letting a foreign born billionaire engage in massive illegal impoundment of trillions in government spending.
Goldman Sachs, Jan 21: "Despite Trump’s comments that the 25% tariff will be implemented in 10 days, we continue to believe the odds of a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico are low (20%)." Why have analysts been caught so flat-footed by Trump doing *exactly what he said he would*?

I didn’t even have to hear it to know what they were going to say. And I know exactly how well-meaning (and less so) white people are going to respond.
