I want to post more reactions to psychotic cabinet/legislative/executive/judicial interviews but I cringe too hard to watch them all.

Listening to the Dollop about Larry Craig, Minneapolis seems to only make it into the national news cycle for the weirdest shit. Proud of us.

Everyone needs to CHILL OUT! Except me, I am free to continue to panic at every minor inconvenience. New episode today, Irrational Things That Overwhelm Us. Check it out! www.mytopeverything.com/episodes/top...

Well over 1000 people protesting in Otsego, MN northwest of Minneapolis! @indivisible.org @50501hi.bsky.social @50501movement.bsky.social @gshawaii.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com @indivisiblehawaii.bsky.social

Fuck this we’re out here. 75-100 neighbors. Fuck fascism. Love and solidarity from NE Minneapolis

Been saying this all morning, but it seems like no.

Everyone sharing that the NE Minneapolis No Kings rally was canceled (which it was) but in the face of violence, fear, and hate, my neighbors still showed up. I understand why people wouldn’t show up and I don’t judge you. Enormous thank you to those that still came.

PSA for the NE Mpls No Kings gathering tomorrow: it looks like Eastside Coop is setting up Biffys with "No Kings" stickers on them, so I am assuming they are there for the gatherers.

"hey wanna go to trivia on Tuesday?" "sorry, I can't - I'm expecting a Hellfire R9X to mince me for posting about the incoming WWIII"

I have a really unfortunate connection to this

Beating the main questline of Oblivion should remind one that interesting times come and go over time - in the same way we noticed the valley, we will also notice the hill. For those that require a visual, remember this when all hope seems lost:

How hard can I compartmentalize? How hard can I COMPARTMENTALIZE? I can still write meaningless blog posts about my work while the marines are stationed in an American city. www.rutabagatechnology.net/outsystems-a...

There are two wolves inside me

Perhaps AI is like us after all - when presented a problem that’s too hard, it also gives up and walks away because the question is stupid and unfair lol.

Cops can be fun to hang out with! Some strongly recommended conversation topics for our friends in LA: 1. “Am I being detained?” 2. “I am invoking my right to remain silent and I want to talk to a lawyer.” Just say those two things and not another word until said lawyer joins the party.

Hey, what's that? You're going to participate in a protest against a fascist government rapidly decaying into a full-blown dictatorship? LEAVE YOUR PHONE AND SMART WATCH AT HOME. Oh you turned it off? No you didn't. That thing is still tracking your location. Courtesy, some guy who knows computers.

we predicted a hot summer, but I would have bet $20 we wouldn't have seen the violation of posse comitatus until the solstice at least.

Went to r/conservative to see the spin. Ok, sure guy lol.

AOC: The girls are fighting aren’t they

So far I've seen no reason not to believe every word coming out the furious fingertips of Trump and Musk

The bad news is our fascist government is creating a database of all of us for probably evil reasons. The good news is, I am pretty sure Elon Musks kid's name will crash said database when they put it in. Thanks, Elon.

I'm just so busy, busy, BUSY I feel like I have no time for myself, the walls are closing in on me I tell ya *logs in to shitpost on bluesky*

Hey MSP folks, I'm hearing from my neighbor that cops are shutting down Lake Street from Bloomington down to like 34th or 35th and protest marshals are needed again. Please help spread the word.

at lake and bloomington where ICE were seen. large group of angry people

Someone posted some more pictures about the federal raid in Uptown Minneapolis on Reddit. Does anyone know any more about what's going on? www.reddit.com/r/Minneapoli...

From Star Tribune: "More than two dozen law enforcement agents - including ICE, FBI and ATF" have descended upon Taqueria y Birrieria las Cuatro Milpas on Bloomington and Lake Street in Minneapolis. Apparently there's a warrant but no idea if it's real yet. I can't imagine why such force is needed.

With this wildfire smoke, we're currently experiencing a "The Mist" scenario where the air is toxic and occasionally a mutant Garrison Keillor emerges to snatch ya.

Fun fact: if you are recording something, a cat has a specialized organ that vibrates to guide them to the microphone stand so they can rub their teeth on it, thus fulfilling this evolutionary obligation.

Hey new to gaming, how do you topple the empire and install a democracy in the Oblivion remaster? @toddhoward.bsky.social ?

🤣😂😁🤣 Please repost

Had a dream last night that someone was demanding to know why I supported Palestine. I said, "what if it was the other way around and Israel was backed into a corner and on the receiving end of a genocide?" They immediately conceded my point and I woke up and immediately knew I was dreaming.

Everyone is celebrating the tariffs being illegal like we got him. Basically everything he’s done has been illegal and they know it. Fascism means pushing inward on the boundary of law until it breaks. If it matters, I’ll buy a $100 hat off temu and eat it.
