at this moment in american history it is inspiring to recall that these generously buttered noodles, sprinkled with just a quarter cup of parsley for color and freshness, are the perfect blank canvas for practically any stew or braise

A Democratic legislator was assassinated; right-wing influencers coughed out disinformation minnesotareformer.com/2025/06/14/a...

Summing up MAGA, DOGE, GOP, and Project 2025 in a single sentence. “It’s about repurposing it to serve a new model of power and breaking the chain of democratic accountability between Congress, the law, and the public.”

so many good comrades have died because Linda and Carol went out to brunch after attending a protest while wearing pussy hats

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

This is heartbreaking. (via someone at the St. Paul rally)

Fuck ICE and fuck cops, no justice no peace

@djinnandtonic.bsky.social You’re showing up in #Philly! #NoKings

With all due respect, you know that this isn't how we do things here

🚨The kids in larchmont are doing rage songs🚨

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

Nation, if you see pictures of people protesting in Minnesota today, know that it has turned into a vigil, and we are doing it very afraid.

The Minnesota legislature just passed a budget and was out of session until February, so this wasn’t an attempt to scuttle a vote. But there was a flap about what makes a quorum after the GOP tried to leverage empty seats. www.house.mn.gov/sessiondaily...

In re: LRT, Minnesota is the opposite of a news desert - the Twin Cities has dozens of responsible news outlets staffed by incredibly professional journalists. They do not need your breathless, speculative assistance in covering this story. Post *local* coverage as it emerges, and ignore the noise.

Bring Me The News, The Tribune, MPR News, and other local places are much better sources than national ones who barely know what the DFL is.

Speaker Hortman was a bold and brave leader who made hard decisions and fought for the people of Minnesota every single day. She and her husband Mark did not deserve to die. My heart goes out to their children.

if anyone knows a good criminal defense attorney in texas lmk, asking for a friend, ICE protest-related

This is insane

Shameful treatment of American service members by Trump administration. “national guard members sleeping on a concrete loading dock floor without bedding, &… troops arrived with no lodging, insufficient portable toilets & no funds for food or water.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

babe wake up, new PRC just dropped

Senator Padilla’s office sends me this video of his take-down and detention at Sec. Noem’s press conference in L.A.

I told you we’d be back

an incomplete list of things I have had to force onto a crying toddler: - antibiotics - bedtime - shoes - toast that had been cut into triangles rather than squares - a banana that had snapped in half and she didn't want a *new* banana, she wanted me to fix *this* banana

just heard that BRIAN WILSON has left this timeline and dang it hits hard. there are so many thoughts trotting through my mind, but id like to take a moment to talk about my personal connection to this and what brian wilsons music meant to me, so bear with me buckaroos.

This lawsuit is brutal. One of the exhibits is the letter Universal sent to Midjourney, including a quote from a 2022 Forbes interview that I bet midjourney regrets

Counterpoint: Robert E. Lee was a treasonous loser who gladly slaughtered his fellow Americans in defense of slavery while being a mildly above average military tactician. He should’ve been hanged in Lexington.

This is a nice skyline cleanse

Gashapon (or Gachapon) are vending machines found all over Japan that dispense capsules containing miniature toys and other items. There are thousands of different kinds. Here’s a thread of the best ones I saw on my recent trip. 🧵

A sign of how fundamentally broken and inadequate to the moment our information and media ecosystem is when the president is deploying the military to crush protests against his mass kidnapping scheme, and the question is whether those who oppose it are being nice enough.

This is how. Greta Thunberg spits fire and gives you the only media training you may ever need.

Alt text: sign dating hello new Yorkers!!! If cuomo gets elected, we will double our prices. No joke. When cuomo was governor, nyc rents went up 52%, he tried to cut 5.2 billion from Medicaid, he cut 840 million from nyc public schools, Homelessness went up by 41%

I got lots of people from the UNITED STATES reaching out to me begging for help and awareness after tornadoes hit St Louis,,, maybe the National Guard should be deployed there 😒 If y’all are able to help out someone in need,, heres a @gofundme for someone who lost her home 👇🏾 gofund.me/a28f537d

I've seen a bunch of references to this, but I hadn't seen the post itself until now. The menswear guy intentionally, riskily revealed that he's undocumented—that he's a DREAMer—as an act of public solidarity and witness in the face of our current fascist ascendancy.

Any animators interested in collaborating on some simple, short "how-to" video guides for protest safety and protest tactics? They don't need to be pretty, just basic industrial safety video animations showing things like "how to do an eye rinse for a protestor", "how to make a shield", etc.

"A society can't allow EVERYBODY to have free speech!" is a helluva take.

ICE Releases Gavin Newsom Beheading Video

Shot in the dark question for 1st generation Indian Am’s. Has generational trauma as it pertains to colonialism made your family less or more vulnerable to white adjacent mythology/divide & conquer propaganda? In my experience, my grandparents were far more aware than my parents & their friends.
