historians is it good when the robe Nobles are able to buy the positions and honors typically reserved for the sword Nobles?

He is fully asleep right now

regardless of what 6 fascists in an illegitimate court has to say about it, it’s a beautiful day to transgender

Trans kids deserve to live.

as a cis person I don't really have anything intelligent to add to the day's discussion re: Skrmetti, just a burning hatred of transphobia and the people who peddle it

Dangerous heat is possible this weekend. We could tie the record high of 95° in the Twin Cities! It will feel like 100°+ Saturday and Sunday. You might feel it more because it's the first REALLY hot and humid days of the season. Plan ahead. Don't do anything too tough outside. And HYDRATE!

“Trans adults made it through adolescence okay without transitioning!”

If this group of men jumped out of a van and grabbed someone in your neighborhood, a friend, family member, or you. What's your reaction going to be?

Several states have adopted shield laws to protect providers of gender affirming care, including from out-of-state actors who want to punish them for treating ban-state residents. Some states cover repro but not GAC. Know your state’s law & advocate for your state leaders to strengthen protections

How the fuck would ANY ONE know that's police?! Tell me. In fact, prove that they are. How does this not create the ability for random masked men to kidnap people into vans in broad daylight??

"...it's precisely that resistance to using the word fascism that's typical of how fascism works. Fascism thrives by playing down what was previously seen as extremist. And once that happens, any warnings get dismissed as overly alarmist."

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

How to tell a Cooper's Hawk from a Sharp-shinned Hawk. An oldie.

As infuriating as the conservative SCOTUS is, never forget that America’s genocide against its trans population is the child of “moderate” liberal outlets like the Atlantic and the New York Times, and especially Jesse Singal and Katie Herzog, who made healthy careers out of polishing bigotry.

The SCOTUS ruling in U.S. v. Skrmetti confirms what we know: this government is crooked and ignorant. Trans kids deserve care, safety, and bodily autonomy. We must remind them of their history, the sacredness of community, and that no government gave them their power—and no court can take it away.

Good time to bump this. Donating all profits to the Trevor Project. Grab a book, do some good.

"this is obviously just a distraction tactic" no you just think the victims of this particular cruelty are unimportant

Phone and Internet are really important . Im disabled and a full time caretaker to my disabled child. Hardly any government help and four kids to take care of. I have to keep my phone and internet on or I lose help to survive.

Maybe people are calling them gestapo because they look and act like the gestapo?

wowza

children are people just as much as an adult is a person, it's fucking insane that people have to be told that children are not objects you own. they are not pets. they are people with human rights. these ghouls and inhuman fuckers are proving they themselves should probably lose those rights

To my trans friends: You matter. Your life matters.

The GOP is a terrorist organization by any reasonable definition of terrorism.

The fact that Northsiders were not told to shelter in place, nor were we told when the search was called off, is just endemic of how shabbily North is always treated. The idea that we don't need to know about our safety in the same way people in the suburbs do is equal parts absurd and repugnant.

This Supreme Court attack on trans youth is part and parcel of a coordinated, ultra-conservative attack on all our freedoms. Freedom to assemble. Freedom to go to work with out raids by unbadged thugs. Freedom to choose when to start a family, or who our beloved is.

And STILL not one single local news outlet has nailed Frey nor O'hara for comment. Radio silence from Vetaw. Where are the reporters who are demanding answers? @sahanjournal.bsky.social @minnesotareformer.com @startribune.com @racketmn.com @mprnews.org #Minneapolis

đź’Ż and when trans people tell us something WE LISTEN

Publisher of The Onion easily grasps a materially observable phenomenon that has eluded the Senate Minority Leader for, what, nine years now?

Besides a startling range of music, I've seen some mystery 16mm screenings (courtesy of @cultfilmcollective.bsky.social ) at The Eagles and it's really one of the best spots in Minneapolis. Great food, too!

I have serious bills due the 20th, 21st and the 23rd. Without phone and Internet I lose access to financial help for my kids and I. Phone: $227 Internet: $276 Car note:$354 Any help is appreciated đź’ś PayPal: www.paypal.me/Coffinelf Cashapp: cash.app/$coffinmistr... Ko-fi: coffinmilf

We can get food now!!! So thankful. I’m sorry I have to make a post for three bills but it takes awhile to get help most of the time and I can’t risk losing these things and then losing support online. Thank you for the boosting and kindness as always. I’m thankful for you all always.

Why are Tucker Carlson and Steve fucking Bannon doing better analysis than 99% of the mainstream media

When Teddy Roosevelt was called disloyal for criticizing Wilson’s conduct of WWI, he said “to announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

We're honestly surprised that none of these LEO cosplayers have gotten shot yet. This is the f*cking Klan all over again. Someone tries to kick in our door with nothing but a mask and some bullsh*t velcro swag while armed to the teeth? You bet we're defending ourselves.

I need y'all to understand what the NYT, Dem donors, and centrists are doing here. They're pushing the narrative that trans people went too far and we deserve what is happening to us. It's pure victim blaming and it's not done yet, there's a Confessore piece in the works with the same framing.

No one bothers you in a cemetery. It's the perfect spot to sit and think. Old pioneer cemetery in bluff country between Red Wing and Goodhue, MN.

fat cat in a little box, fat cat in a little box

people i know, people who are my friends, are sharing their experiences of what that stupid dangerous violent man did, & the fear they felt, & how their families are hurt, and you should be able to serve your community without fucking _fear_ and now that's there, more than ever. he put that there.

if you’re in Minnesota and were foregoing a name or gender marker change because of this, or have further questions, hit me up! I know the resources slash kind of am a resource.

Saddle up medics & community outreach this is about to get deadly. Extreme Heat/High Humidity protocols- Above 70% relative humidity evap cooling is useless. Focus on getting air circulating, finding shade, & relocation to cooling centers. I need medics to stock up on ice & cooling packs.

Happy "next Tuesday" to everyone who joined the USS Enterprise B's maiden voyage
