Excellent piece. Get your kids vaccinated, people.

Was at a bookstore yesterday (of course) and a young man was crouched down looking at the lower shelf when I approached a section.
He stood up. Must have been 7ft tall.
With all the times tall folks are asked to retrieve high up stuff, I considered asking if he needed something from the lower shelf.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

The point of "Real ID" laws is that it makes it very hard for trans people and married women to vote.
The tradition in the USA is for women to change their surname at marriage, which means birth certificates won't match current IDs. Unless you can pay for the expensive passports, you can't vote.

This makes me so angry, because what's the f*cking point of all the "Real ID" bullshit hoops they've been making us jump through, if it doesn't count for this? (Also my passport gender marker got updated before this admin but doesn't match my ID, so THAT could get interesting.)

The media has moved on but the assault on the state of Minnesota continues. Small towns, medium, and in both of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St Paul—where this incident happened.
Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.
Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.
Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.
