I don't have any answers, although I may pretend to.

You know what they say: "You can't make a cease fire without shooting a few people".

Why we can't have nice things...

Sorry, the Downtown Council is just a glorified PAC now.

“Going out and doing festivals is not one of those areas we need to improve,” he said. “Where we do need to improve is safety and advocacy. Where we do need to improve is our long-range plan and making it happen to make Minneapolis the best city that it could possibly be.”

Counterpoint: that sounds pretty fun TBH. But get your shots, kids!

Honestly, it needs to go further than this.

We need to confront the fact that democracy and wealth hoarding cannot coexist. Allowing people to amass the resources of a small state/country allows them to act as such, which is inimical to a shared society of “one person, one vote.”

John Rogers @johnrogers.bsky.social · 1d

“No Kings” is great , but we really don't get a functioning democracy back until we internalize, bone deep, the instinctive response to this and every other statement like it: “I don’t care what that rich guy thinks.”

Make it your morning affirmation. Say it ten times at the top of every hour.

Staring at Joe Scarborough

Does this mean we can file charges against some sitting Supreme Court justices for lying?

Falls under the "Don't Threaten Me With a Good Time" category.

Also, yes the south does in fact have a complicated relationship with the federal government and would object to sending in unwelcome federal troops.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

Craig @crrrrrraig.bsky.social · 2d

Fucking idiots.

Maybe it's just because I'm a little high but the "Boyz 4 Now" episode of Bob's Burgers is the best one.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

We are seeing dozens of these videos every day. It's happening all over the ocuntry. I know many people are outraged but it's just continuing unabated.

This feeling of impotence is devastating. How does it end? With the country emptied of brown people and dissidents in jail?

you have never met a parent who will go to the mat for their kid faster than parents who have already had to fight the system to get their kid the support they're entitled to

Kevin M. Kruse @kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 3d

I know Trump and his minions all have sneering contempt for kids with special needs, but trust me when I say that their parents will absolutely fucking destroy anyone who messes with the special education supports to which they are entitled by law.

Sara Partridge, PhD @sarapartridge.bsky.social · 3d

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

Cool life hack: got kid birthday parties to attend? Buy some @mischieftoy.com gift cards and never stress about presents! Anyone (including tweens and teens) can find something they like there and you support a small business! 😎

Mischief toy store card and gift card, with a funky red, orange, purple octopus with a bowler hat. Mischief is located at 818 Grand Avenue, “between Victoria and Avon in Saint Paul’s Historic Steampunk District.” This envelope is headed to a kid’s birthday party today
