. When you've spend hours looking for your little black kitten... . . . and then... 💙 🐾 💙

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.

Free Market is when the entire country is owned by a handful of insane ravenous assholes who use the government to protect them from competition

The thing about social media is that I regularly have to remind myself that the person writing some of the things I'm reading may literally not be old enough and educated enough to capably employ critical thinking skills, and the fuck I look like arguing with pre-pubes Paul about how society works?🤣

“If we do not stand up to Peter Thiel, they’re going to come after all of us.” 13 people were arrested protesting Palantir’s surveillance of Americans. Palantir is profiting off of ICE raids. It’s refining its tracking techniques & gathering data at lightning speed. @moreperfectunion.bsky.social

I think a lot of the terror of the modern age can be understood by the fact that the Internet accelerated the development of the worst type of person, the "Anti-Intellectual Nerd."

Just read that the current budget being considered by the U.S. Senate has provisions that would bar Medicaid beneficiaries who are "non-compliant with work requirements" from enrolling in ACA Marketplace Plans

I will never to my dying day forget the moment a politically motivated assassin murdered this woman and this dog and Senior Republican leaders turned it into a joke. And no other Republicans called them out on it.

Emmanuel Macron of France and Giorgia Meloni of Italy having a chat. They 1000% hate him. It’s the eye roll for me 💀

zohran doesn't even have a super radical platform and honestly many parts of it are aspirational/unlikely (free buses) and people like AG at the times still pee their pants about it even though if much of it is accomplished it can help fix the things that terrify them (seeing an unhoused person).

Check out the No Kings Day debrief call (recording) to learn what’s next in the fight for democracy. There are so many ways to contribute, no matter what your ability or comfort level! www.nokings.org/next (Scroll down; video is under the heading, “LIVESTREAM.”)

The Times questioning Zohran’s experience kinda just boils down to ideology & racism but the idea of 33 being too young to hold a major political office is so funny. If he was a CEO of a startup that produced something worse than nothing they’d write a glowing feature on his new bold ideas.

Somebody accused me of playing the race card today, which makes sense, since every time I bring up race, I’m showered with seven new jobs, six cabana boys and a pony

We are angry, they are hateful. We are not the same. We want to preserve and protect democracy, they want to destroy it and head into fascism, we are not the same. The party of conservation no longer wants to conserve but destroy, we are not the same.

I sure hope MN officials are involved in Boelter's interrogation, b/c I'm pretty sure FBI HQ isn't interested in how he was radicalized, and the country needs to know, to be prepared for more.

Statement from the two children of Melissa and Mark Hortman. “Hope and resilience are the enemy of fear. Our parents lived their lives with immense dedication to their fellow humans. This tragedy must become a moment for us to come together.”

“I find it unconscionable that someone could step up to serve, voluntarily, in our military and be willing to sacrifice their life for our country only to have their families torn apart.” This article first appeared @thewarhorsenews.bsky.social

Yassss! Go Team 💙

Senator Mike Lee pretended he was on the phone to avoid being confronted by @smith.senate.gov after he mocked assassination victims this weekend. She made sure he heard what she had to say.

They are driving this shit into people’s backyards. Jesus.

Tucker Carlson says Fox is a propaganda network that manipulates their mostly elderly audience.

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. (via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)

I haven’t seen nearly enough people talking about this. The levels of greed and inhumane thinking on display is actually terrifying. America really is dystopian as fuck.

No lies told.

Trump loses in Federal Court, Gov Newsom regains control of National Guard

THIS x 1,000,000. Honestly I don’t know who this person is (this clip popped up on social media) but I would vote for them tomorrow.

political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics

For those claiming protests don’t mean anything… How do you think movements are built, fueled, sustained, & grown? How do you prove the spirit of resistance is loud, proud, present, & powerful? How do you prove democracy is loved, valued, & worth fighting for? This IS what democracy looks like.

Nez Pierce dude Jordie from PDX demonstrating how the Yankee Doodle Feds ain't shit! American Indigenous Movement of Oregon. Chief Joseph lives.

I, an intellectual

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

To our friends & allies across the globe who today stood in solidarity with those of us in the US who are angry, scared, & mortified: thank you for your grace, your light, & your empathy. Thank you for your support of those of us who aren't in the cult. We see you & are grateful.

Proud Boy goes bye bye again. This time in Nashville. Maybe don’t wave guns at protesters. Gotta be a cop to do that bs and they didn’t give you a badge…yet.

Finally, someone noticed that Medicaid dollars go to healthcare providers, not patients. EVEN patients "who play video games." www.healthaffairs.org/content/fore...

So it’s just going to be every cops everywhere now that uses excessive force upon people and violates their constitutional rights. This is Charleston, SC and they did this for all of 10 people just exercising their first amendment.
