if you are protesting now or in the future be safe and remember: • do not announce you're attending online • do not sign any online RSVP • wear a mask • wear clothes that don't draw attention • leave your phone at home • bring bottled water • do not speak to cops • do not post photos after

Any person in uniform wearing a mask and refusing to be properly and reliably identified should be assumed to be the same kind of murderer we’ve seen in Minnesota.

MAGA delenda est!

absolutely horrifying: "Minnesota state senator John Hoffman in Champlin and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman in Brooklyn Park were reportedly shot in their homes by a gunman impersonating a police officer."

MAGA is really determined to have civil war. it's the starkest confession they can't win democratically.

🚨Sources say two Minnesota Democratic state lawmakers and their spouses, have been shot in their homes, allegedly by someone impersonating law enforcement 🚨 #minnesota #Dems Source: KSTP 5 Eyewitness News Minneapolis-St. Paul MN

Two Minnesota lawmakers are in grave condition following apparent “targeted” shooting, officials say Authorities believe the shooter was impersonating law enforcement

Walz activating the State Emergency Operations Center is a concerning move considering we don't publicly know much about what happened overnight.

www.fox9.com/news/melissa... The deliberate and purposeful outcome of all MAGA rhetoric and beliefs.

DON’T RSVP TO A PROTEST. DON’T RSVP TO A PROTEST. DON’T RSVP TO A PROTEST. GO. JUST DON’T GIVE OUT YOUR GODDAMN NAME.

We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty!

One of these photos is how HBO's The Watchmen depicted a fascist police force back in 2018 The others are real photos of the ICE agents who are rounding people up and disappearing them in Boston, Denver, L.A., and elsewhere

Henceforth, any group which includes Stephen Miller and Donald Trump will be known as the Cuck Cluck Clan.

My new Tangent “Daddy Politics" is about the psychodynamic and cognitive-linguistic reasons everyone hates freedom and wants to be vigorously spanked like a bad little girl. Up now on Patreon: www.patreon.com/contrapoints...

The reason generative AI is so popular with wannabe creatives is best illustrated by something every pro writer has encountered: getting pitched an idea by someone saying "You write it and we'll split the profits!" because they think the idea is what has value, not the writing. The opposite is true.

New @bcsmagazine.bsky.social issue today! Featuring stories by @rkduncan.bsky.social and @adykstal.bsky.social : weightlessbooks.com/beneath-ceas...

Time to clarify something. When authors say “Unbound haven’t paid me” that makes it sound like Unbound had some money, which they used to buy authors’ writing. Unbound had no money. The authors did: we had raised that money. They were holding it in trust. Unbound stole our money.

From the task force op in Minneapolis yesterday—an officer with the Brooklyn Park police department (badge 232) and the New Hope police department (badge 100). If you recognize either of these men or have a personnel list from these depts in your possession, please shoot us a message. Thanks!

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

Good morning, if you're into that sort of thing. I know not everyone is. They are an acquired taste.

Of course the police are saying that, because they are (a) police in (b) Texas. This was a hate crime. Full stop.

Congratulations to Jacksonville! This is a beautiful display. And fuck Ron DeSantis right in his syphilitic little brain.

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor. He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down. The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him. This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

Jonathan Joss (Comanche, White Mountain Apache) did not simply die from a gunshot. He was murdered in a homophobic, racist hate crime by his former neighbors. He died saving his partners life. Honor his legacy-- both queerness and Indigeneity are inextricable to why he was targeted.

Right wingers are all weird drug addled sex freaks and this should be an easy lane of attack for Democrats.

I made a new friend on the way home from work.

At this point it is safe to say that all of Trump's cabinet, all of MAGA, and all of DOGE, are literally Nazis.

Happy pride

Jane Borden's "Cults Like Us: Why Doomsday Thinking Drives America" develops a simple thesis: The Pilgrims were essentially a doomsday cult who passed on seven key elements of belief that have shaped America ever since. My author interview: 1/13 www.salon.com/2025/05/26/h...
