This isn't all of the story, but a surprisingly big part of the "fear" of Mamdani isn't actually that he'll institute full communism, it's that people's friends-and-influence groups will be demoted from their positions of authority

for all of the praise of law enforcement we've seen since Saturday, it's now clear cops had at least two opportunities to prevent Vance Boelter from murdering Melissa Hortman and her husband but failed to do so.

A leader of the MN House Democrats is murdered by a Republican pro-life activist. Rather than condemning political murder of his opponents, Elon Musk spreads the conspiracy theory that it was done by Democrats. Journalists don’t need to use any social media site. But they really shouldn’t use X.

Had a very upsetting interaction on my bike today. I had just entered Horner Park from California, so I was not going very fast (maybe 5-7 mph). I saw a little boy starting to cross the path and, as I do, just warned him that I was coming in a very unconfrontational tone: "Watch out! Watch out!"

Here’s a New York Times photo of the Chicago “No Kings” rally. NYT said the march that followed spanned at least 10 blocks.

Protest outfit for the No Kings rally! I don’t love these shoes with these pants, but if I’m going to be on my feet for a while, I need the comfy footwear.

I never want to hear about the “violent left” again. Throwing shit at police and setting fire to cars is not the same thing as assassinating lawmakers and cops beating people up/threatening to kill them for protesting.

assassinations, handcuffing a senator at press conference, marines detaining a civilian, and a military parade for the president’s birthday. rough week for democracy.

Two important things to note: 1) the most significant violence we’ve seen this year was not against ICE or Trump or members of his administration, but against Democrats 2) when ICE scoffs at people asking for warrants or for identification, THIS IS WHY THEY ASK www.fox9.com/news/melissa...

I noticed one of my earrings was missing at dinner. I got home and found it (with the backing, I guess I missed the piercing somehow 🤪) entangled in my hair. Somehow it didn’t fall out the whole time, including a 45-minute bike ride each way.
