ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.”

We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words.

Aurora in Minneapolis? In this economy?!

I am once again calling on state governors to mobilize their National Guards to escort congressmembers into ICE facilities so they can DO THEIR LAWFULLY ASSIGNED FEDERAL DUTIES

A Charlie Kirk fan stalked these teenage girls for months, did livestreams where he harassed them, and murdered them after one of them said something critical of Charlie Kirk.

This should be headline news. It’s a horrific tragedy.

These people act like Trump has incredibly high polling numbers. And that 35% of eligible voters aren’t staying home instead of voting in presidential elections.

It’s just lazy. To create a party that would be popular enough to attract 35% of voters to START VOTING takes courage. And work (gasp!).

“We are treated as background figures, when in reality we are holding the entire structure together.”

Whewww.

None of the billions the “awareness” industry collects has changed a thing in my dad’s journey. His meds are from 15+ years ago and none of us were unaware Alzheimer’s existed. 🙄

I hope people understand that the anomaly here aren’t the conditions—the conditions are very typical—the anomaly is that they put a number of documented workers from a high-income country in those conditions. This is how people are treated in custody routinely

And by loudly warning, we mean screaming until aphonic. 😡

Every time a politician speaks on a stage, a staff member should be positioned so they can see the people on the stage. It’s so simple.

Not doing the simple shit is how pics of governors talking at a dais next to a person flashing the white power sign go viral. 🙄

Idiots.

I just wanted to say, I’m probably more proud of this Ted talk than just about anything I’ve ever done so I’m gonna be absolutely useless for the next couple of weeks as I promote the shit out of this because I want you to watch it because it matters in the moment we are in youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg

We are all asking this. Asked it that day. Will most likely have to ask it in the future. 😡

@lizzobeeating.bsky.social We are outside the ave and READY 🎉

I love Minnesota. I love snow. What I don’t love is nighttime beginning at 4pm. So, here’s a sitrep photo from my mental health trip to cancún taken at 6pm today. It’s pouring and still beautiful. And not dark. 10/10 recommend.
