This is another semi-regular reminder that hot people mask (I mean, look at @malyndae.bsky.social 😍) because masking is love and resistance and anti-fascist. Masking is community care, and community care is radical in this age. Be hot. Wear a mask.

They're trying to kill disabled children (and disabled parents/caregivers). This is eugenics. School is already not safe for vulnerable children due to the lack of mitigations for airborne diseases. This will make it so, so much worse.

So far it looks like Trump, Noem, and operation metro surge drained Minneapolis alone—not yet counting St. Paul, Bloomington, etc.— $203 million. This was a MAGA Trump assault on an American blue city. Nothing more. Start seeing it.

this is like saying "they want teachers to have professional licensing but they don't want parents to show a license to teach their kids how to read." it's only intellectually inconsistent if you are dumb or dishonest
Emmer: "Another reform they claim they want is they want ICE agents to identify themselves, to show identification. But they don't want identification for voters in elections. I mean, this stuff is just intellectually inconsistent."

the fact that Graham Platner is still a serious candidate is truly embarrassing. being a racist, antisemitic misogynist might be a requirement to be elected as a republican, but it should still be disqualifying for a democrat
I hadn't heard this shit until now and finding out Platner was all in on "black people don't tip" makes way too much sense. And it's a huge red flag for anyone who works in hospitality because it's not true. Everyone who's worked behind the stick knows who undertips and it's not the black community

When I clerked, my chambers were right around the corner from Judge McMahon's and she was friends with my judge. This is extraordinarily out of character for her. It's emblematic of how bad the situation is with the government flagrantly abusing the judicial process and ignoring court authority.

Minnesota friends, while you’re out protecting your neighbors from ICE, please wear high quality respirators like N95s or KN95s to also protect them (and you) from disabling viruses.

I’m on day 34 of a horrible migraine that is getting worse with no relief & debating whether to go to the ER. So now I have the calculation of whether the airborne illness exposure and high likelihood that they’ll tell me I’m fine and being hysterical is worth it for the small chance of relief
