Ashamed to say all of this was too much and decided I can’t handle the #nokings protest in Tuscaloosa tonight (I was supposed to be a legal observer). This just all hit too hard.

NEW: The suspect in the Minnesota shooting of Democratic state legislators is linked to a security company and evangelical ministry. According to his ministry's website, he “sought out militant Islamists in order to share the gospel and tell them that violence wasn't the answer.”

Just a reminder that Trump considered pardoning the men who plotted to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer. “I’m going to look at it. I will take a look at it. It’s been brought to my attention. I did watch the trial. It looked to me like somewhat of a railroad job.” www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

States should be passing laws that make concealing one's identity while dressed as a police officer presumptive probable cause for an arrest for impersonating a police officer.

Oh shit. MN folk catch me up please?

This is the first time I have ever managed to grow a large, unmarked, perfect tomato outside. It is still warm and I will eat it now.

WAPO should offer a "4 years later" do over of this chart. Also, still mad about "term"

There is only ONE state in the nation where a measurable majority of people believe abortion should be illegal... www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

I believe you mean “frog unborn babies”

Very excited to be a legal observer at an Alabama No Kings rally this weekend… (But not this one)

In Tuscaloosa

So this dropped on Monday! urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=htt...

Real talk - the only reason Alabama'seven at 30% of rural hospitals having labor and delivery is because there are so few rural hospitals to start with that it makes the percentage seem larger. alabamareflector.com/2025/06/11/e...

If you're headed to No Kings this weekend, do your homework when @truthout.org 's Movement Memos podcast with @mskellymhayes.bsky.social airs the new episode TOMORROW (Thurs, 6/12/25) featuring @silkys13.bsky.social of @detentionwatchnetwork.org

Trump is planning on opening an "Office of Remigration," which you might have missed because legacy media almost totally ignored it. "Remigration" is a term for ethnic cleansing popular among far-right extremists, especially in Europe. My latest for @mmfa.bsky.social

For all the folks too overwhelmed by what's going on right now to share, post or comment on it - I get you. I can barely scroll without a panic attack right now...

"A proposed resolution says legislators have a duty to 'pass laws that reflect the truth of creation and natural law — about marriage, sex, human life, and family' and to oppose laws contradicting 'what God has made plain through nature and Scripture.'” www.wvua23.com/news/souther...

Just catching up on all the LA news and thinking about how I agreed to be a legal observer at a protest Saturday…

I’ve decided not to make a comment about this article for now because my thoughts are complex and need a lot of sorting first… www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...

Lost in so much other news, Alabama grad student Alireza Doroudi was finally released from detention last week and returned to Iran, having given up fighting the fictitious charges in order to stay and finish his degree. thecrimsonwhite.com/121451/news/...

This post yall. This. Damn. Post. “Why I’m not letting shit go … open.substack.com/pub/pamelame...

When we were preparing for the 2024 election I said that regardless of who won the fight would be a battle between states rights and federal sovereignty and that the only question was who was in which side - this is what I meant.

THIS. I’m in hard core college search for my eldest right now and she wants NOTHING to do with anything AI

I just slept 11 hours unmedicated for the first time in ??? and can’t decide if that means I’m coming out or I’m finally going under…

“We exist as kind of a lesson to people of what resources are like if there is not a Planned Parenthood,” she said.” www.nbcnews.com/health/women...

Confession: I miss blogs. I miss being able to comment on individual stories. I miss knowing I'll see news as soon as it breaks. I miss the community, and that distinct organization. So, I sort of recreated it. www.reddit.com/r/MyBodyMyMe...

As the prophecy foretold.

remember: the enemy of my enemy is probably also a shithead, but they can go a few rounds with my enemy while I hydrate with my doors locked b/c I am not inviting them over
