Anastasia's art is absolutely fantastic! High quality work.

Not to brag but a raven dropped a peach pit on my head.

"NPR and PBS are targeted here today precisely because they are so good at delivering the truth."

This is how the Nexstar-owned CBS affiliate in Las Vegas opened its 4 pm news today: A report scaremongering tomorrow’s No Kings protests and portraying all of downtown Vegas businesses as trembling in fear because one idiot painted “F- ICE” on a coffee shop window. youtu.be/Sbd0LzZdAlE?...

Two famous warnings from the 1980s:

Repost of a comic I drew on Twitter: A Detective Conan vs Columbo crossover episode where they both solve a mystery by the end but Columbo also has privately figured out Conan was the real mastermind behind Kogoro's success and they both leave with a mutual respect for each other.

Dear News Networks: The term for a “targeted politically motivated shooting” of a currently serving legislator is “Assassination.”

We're just going to take the word "fealty" and put it right back up on the shelf where none of you can reach it.

Peter Bogdanovich's PAPER MOON (1973) is on TCM tonight at 8pm ET — on the 46th anniversary of the first time I watched it on the CBS WEDNESDAY NIGHT MOVIE. #FilmSky #TCMParty

It really says something that Minnesota still showed out like this even with their lives under threat, with a politically motivated killer who reportedly had materials relates to this event in his vehicle. Incredible state and incredible people.

The head of the department of homeland security announced that she planned to use military force to take over a democratically elected government in the state of California and we are arguing about whether a California Senator properly identified himself at the door.

Me literally holding up my water glass and saying “SALUD!”. @carbajal.house.gov

My latest scoop: ICE has rescinded its accountability policy for warrantless arrests, giving agents “free license to make any arrest,” per one lawyer representing victims. It follows @theguardian.com exclusive that the agency was told to “push the envelope” to meet Trump’s 3k arrest quota.

any mass media platform where center-right, pro-business politics isn't the dominant paradigm is inevitably going to be maligned in this way by wealthy and powerful people trying to dictate the contours of acceptable discourse they've been playing this game (quite successfully) for a generation

Las Vegas police immediately arrest two livestreamers when one of them insults an officer after an anti-ICE protest ("honor your oath, bitch"). "You need to learn there's rules: don't run your mouth at me."

RFK Jr now going after ALL vaccines. He argues that the Covid vaccine (which he’s restricted) was the only one that had proper safety testing. He says they “dysregulate the immune system”. Get your boosters. He’s setting the stage for “natural immunity” where only “the strong survive” Eugenics.

Insane story

I feel like we need follow-up on this.

Curious about how thin the justification was for parking lot lawyer-turned-Trump prosecutor Alina Habba to indict a sitting member of Congress? ME TOO. Fortunately, Alas always, @lizdye.bsky.social has everything you need to know at Public Notice.

absolutely horrifying: "Minnesota state senator John Hoffman in Champlin and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman in Brooklyn Park were reportedly shot in their homes by a gunman impersonating a police officer."

Incredible reporting by @propublica.org. We are actively losing so much it's difficult to wrap one's head around it. projects.propublica.org/nih-cuts-res...

This is everywhere. Every academic institution I know is held together by some exhausted woman in her early 40's who waits until the old white male professors have finished their vague rants and says, "alright, so concretely can I propose the following next steps..." She makes half their salary.

In re: LRT, Minnesota is the opposite of a news desert - the Twin Cities has dozens of responsible news outlets staffed by incredibly professional journalists. They do not need your breathless, speculative assistance in covering this story. Post *local* coverage as it emerges, and ignore the noise.

The news about this morning's shootings in Minnesota has me on edge about right-wing violence. Whether you are protesting or just a lefty going about your lefty business (mutual aid, organizing, etc), be alert, know who you're dealing with, and know how you would exit any place that feels unsafe.

Reminder: You don't actually need to even throw a brick at cops for cops to say you threw a brick at them

Do you know how many people aren’t protesting today because you’ve disabled or killed them with covid? Real uncomfortable question, I know. What would you do if you knew your personal number (of people you’ve disabled or worse)? Would it matter?

DARVO is a frontline tactic for abusers, and authoritarians are always abusers. Recognizing their tactics for what they are is critical for responding meaningfully.

The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner, TCM 1:45 PM, if you’ve never.

Weird how zero Republicans are denouncing the assassinations of Democrats in Minnesota, especially as the assassinations were sponsored by the inflated hyperbolic fearmongering rhetoric constantly spilling from their thin white lips. They don't care about you or your country. Not one of them.

We don't know yet whether or not the assassin is an actual cop, but it's definitely in the realm of possibilities. We should never forget that statistically, the number one professional job of a serial killer is a cop or security official. neurosciencenews.com/careers-psyc...

Jesus. The juxtaposition of these two posts back to back is just...

thread on what law enforcement officials had to say about the assassination of Rep. Melissa Hortman and the attempted assassination of Sen. John Hoffman

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

The Philly No Kings protest has already grown so big that it has spilled into the street. A variety of groups, organizations and causes represented among the crowd. This woman is now leading a chant.
