There is no justification for killing wolves — wolf hunts are trophy hunts. Wolves live in balance with nature — they aren’t a threat to people or livestock. Wolves are worth far more alive than dead and support balanced, healthy ecosystems. Empathy is the way forward. #StandForWolves

Mark and Melissa lie peacefully at the center of our state and our hearts today. Their memorial, guarded by service dogs and men and women in uniform, casts a momentary shadow over L'Étoile du Nord as we honor their life’s work to make Minnesota shine brighter for all.

Senator Mike Lee has earned a spot in our Villains Hall of Fame What kind of soullessness does it take to respond to the assassination of a colleague with bad jokes and conspiracy theories? The news cycle may have moved on, but we won't forget.

"Imagine the enshittification of Twitter, but w/ thousands of journalists locked in bc that’s how they hoped to make a living, not just fuck around micro-blogging on company time. It’s the Twitter-to-X pipeline reimagined for writers, with income handcuffs." @anamariecox.bsky.social on Substack:

These are two very similar stories of Mississippi families torn apart by ICE. But Kerlin Moreno-Orellana's story has gotten way less attention on social media than Kasper Eriksen's did, and thus his family's GoFundMe is getting WAY less support. It's a big disparity.

This is Shadow and Ollie. Shadow can be seen here attempting to eat his brother. And based on Ollie's reaction, this is not the first time. 13/10 for both

So much horror and heartbreak here with good people and their dog assassinated by a violent Christian nationalist zealot brainwashed by popular organizations because this family tried to help people of all backgrounds and situations. Yeah, Jesus would be thrilled at all this hatred sweeping nation.

Why do I keep seeing posts with Republicans describing alleged assassin Vance Boelter as a left-wing Democrat? Public databases show he has been a registered Republican. (Perhaps, the "No Kings" signs were part of his plan to sneak into a protest.)

There are no words to describe how I feel right now. I hope the Marines in LA violating their oaths, but arresting and committing violence against their brothers and sisters take a long hard look at this and make the right choice. It’s not to late to do the right thing…

🧵I think it’s important to understand what disinformation like Sen. Mike Lee’s tweets are trying to do, psychologically/cognitively. In my disinfo class/Substack, I talk about how disinfo often uses “moral disengagement strategies” to manipulate people into accepting harmful conduct 1/
