“I’m sorry if people are offended by them wearing masks..." We're not offended – we're frightened that our country is continuing to descend into fascism, and that secret police we can't verify are police or not are wearing masks to hide identities. www.startribune.com/masked-feder...

I was a PhD scientist leading a research group at the USDA-ARS. I resigned as a GS-13 after working for nearly 3 years- still on probation. I’d have to work at least five more years in that role for the chance to be a GS-15.

Republicans snuck an AI regulation BAN into the “Big Beautiful Bill.” That means companies like Real Page can use AI to get around price fixing laws and RAISE YOUR RENT. BUT this policy violates the Senate's budget rules. I'm calling foul — and fighting back to reject it.

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

Citizens! Defend your public library. Why are they under attack? Because the fascists want to keep the people dumb and afraid. Libraries, public schools and the free press are foundations of a democratically elected Constitutional republic.

News Links Thread (comments) re ICE HSI DEA ATF FBI raid at Minneapolis Lake and Bloomington ... ... mostly because I saw mention that our Hennepin County Sheriff was involved in this planning and operation. (Confirmed, in links) If this wasn't immigration, then WHY THE FUCKING ARMY? And LRAD? #ACAB

"I oppose this bill that I voted for because I didn't read it and didn't know what was in it when I voted for it" sure ain't something you want to hear from an elected representative now, is it?

Thinking about how lots of people would have you believe Minneapolis is some sort of burnt out hellscape that resembles a war zone but the only times it has resembled a war zone is when unnecessary BS like what happened today happens.

"I didn't know he would do this." Yes, you did, or you voted while being completely uninformed which is just as bad. Prove you didn't know it by joining folks resisting the regime. Prove it by disavowing him. Prove it by fighting for what's right. Otherwise, just be quiet.

In fairness, the guy running the Defense Department doesn't know anything about running a Defense Department. And the woman running the Department of Justice knows nothing about justice. And the person running Homeland Security only knows about dressing up in cute little costumes. It's a theme.
