If you’re in LA in a public space this month and someone tries to get you to sign a petition about wages and voting DO NOT SIGN IT. this is businesses trying to repeal an ordinance that increases wages for workers in hospitality spaces ahead of the Super Bowl, World Cup, & Olympics. Do not sign!

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

Gov. TIm Walz did not know Vance Boelter, a source in his office said. The workforce board Boelter served on has about 60 members, many of whom are not politically connected or would have meaningful access to the governor or interactions with him.

The Minnesota assassin supported Donald Trump and had a kill list consisting entirely of Democrats and reproductive rights advocates. But it's unclear what his political motivations might be.

one of the really challenging asymmetries in american politics is that democrats are asked to answer for the actions of every single hypothetical democratic voter in the country but republican lawmakers are not even asked about the behavior of their own elected peers

I know a lot of folks like this account. But this is a wild, and unhelpful, exaggeration--it's a resistance version of sean spicer. It veers into #resistanceporn and trades accuracy for clout, like other "blue maga" grifters on here. Pls consider finding other sources of inspiration/news/motivation

The fact that civilian leadership understands it can’t rein in the police without having their families physically threatened really is a democratic crisis.

I’m at the Pokémon 2025 North American International Championship this weekend, reportedly the largest gathering of Pokémon players anywhere ever. One thing I really appreciate about the Pokémon community, locally and nationally, is how visibly, unapologetically queer it is, 1/

Man it’s gotta be tough being a deluded murderous right-wing ideologue who devotes your life to the cause just to be on the run and watch a bunch of your fellow republicans on TV calling you a Walz-appointed Dem

An important thing to know about Donald Trump is that very few people actually like him! The structure of his support at this point is a relatively small number of psychotic groypers and a much larger swathe of the public who have been convinced by right-wing propaganda that Democrats are worse.

Also see everything in media about the Columbine shooters that didn't mention they were white supremacists who wrote eugenicist screeds and praised Hitler and nazi Germany.

Do people who aren’t old like me know that murder and bombings were used as a tactic against abortion clinics and providers, with a lot of them happening in the 1990s? I feel like maybe a lot of people don’t know this.

Vance Boelter seems to be a Walz appointee in much the same way my classmates who passed the Presidential Physical Test were Reagan appointees.

State law enforcement officials are asking for help finding suspect Vance Boelter. If you see him, call 911. If you have information, call the tipline 877-996-6222

All the credit that Tim Walz got as a VP candidate for good stuff that Minnesota has done? Melissa Hortman (and a bunch of other women) led the hard fight to get bills on his desk and make it politically safe for him to sign.

Seeing a lot of hay being made about the assassin having "been appointed by the governor" to a board position. That implies way more of a relationship and intent than warranted. The verbiage on the appointment certificate is boilerplate and on every single appointment.
