I’m honestly surprised it took this long for something that horrible to happen. I wish I had hope it will stop.

Melissa Hortman was funny and smart and caring and a damn good leader. Her life should not have ended in such an awful and violent way. How do we govern and organize and do this work in a world without her? I don't understand how there even is a world without her in it.

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

Worth considering that one reason Bluesky doesn't always feel super fun is that current events are relentlessly horrifying and bad

Listened to a lot of Simon & Garfunkel recently, and now of course hearing a lot of Pet Sounds. And man, people just don't use the bass harmonica like they used to.

In other Fuck Off news, Atlanta (no) wants an NHL expansion team (hard no to more expansion) and wants to build an area over 40 (what the fuck) miles outside Atlanta to get one. That's like putting a Toronto team in Hamilton. History (Arizona) suggests Bettman will do it bc he's that kind of dipshit

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

This morning I had this annoying scalp itch on the bus, and figured something had fallen on me from a tree at the bus stop. Eventually knocked it into my lap, and it was a goddamn worm. So today is going great

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled
