alas, this is not nearly as stupid as the lead up to the Iraq war.

I know we all know this but it’s always so important to remember that transphobes who claim to fight for women’s equality generally proceed from the belief that women are inferior to men across the board they wouldn’t treat trans women like they had cheat codes if they respected cis women’s skills!

one thing i think people should ask the court conservatives given this ruling is what, specifically, was wrong with plessy?

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

hand on my heart I am insisting that you watch this, the transcript simply does not do justice to the noises they both make

That baby wasn't delivered. Living humans deliver babies. Do not normalize this.

They have us living in places called Apartment rather than Togetherment, open your eyes

Helping Paws, a local org that trains assistance dogs, confirms the Hortman’s family dog Gilbert died in the attack. Melissa was set to train him, but he became family instead. Helping Paws is starting a fund in their honor.

I debated wearing this under a blazer to a work event last week. I chickened out but am breaking it out where it’ll be appreciated- Hilltop Tavern

The claims that McIver, Padilla, and Lander were committing assault should make you question every other time LEOs claim assault or resisting arrest, if you weren’t already.

If your candidate isn't prepared to do this right here, then they are not prepared for the fight ahead. Bottom line. If you think your rep would stand in the way of ICE, you got a good one. If you think your rep wants to "work across the aisle" they're a Republican grifting you.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

lmfao

ny times reporters love adding a "bluesky is going to hate this article!" addendum on here because they both resent criticism and resent having to post their work on the only platform that doesn't throttle outbound traffic lol

Absolutely heartbreaking. What a nightmare for the Hortman children fox8.com/news/minneso...

I love that a politician can say something like “I believe mice naturally spawn out of grain” and the news will now just treat that as a legitimate line of thought

I did not edit this, this is the actual parade with the actual music being played. CINEMATIC

I see His Holiness has been stewing on the White Sox losing in extra innings yesterday

The radicalization of the American right is THE story of US politics over the last four decades and political reporters are still not allowed to talk about it

the thing these people have not understood is that Americans don't really ~do~ military parades. it's not in our national character. that's good, actually!

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. “Hey man, the group chat is supposed to be a place to chill and you’re putting a lot of heavy stuff in it, I told the guys I’d talk to you about it,” said Gandalf

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

this statement was made just yesterday

Every Minnesotan is yelling at all of you to knock this off. Not competitive districts. Lege is not in session. You don't even go here. This is bad enough without the rest of the country parrotting this. Just. Fucking. Wait. For. Local. Reporting.
