The Knife's 'Silent Shout' Turns 20
The voice doesn’t sound human. It doesn’t sound like one voice, either. It’s a distorted monotone chant that comes through in several registers at once. It’s a high-pitched whisper and a baritone rumb...

I made a decision to quit drinking entirely after a particular weekend in Wisconsin in 2023.

They played this game so hard I retired
6, obviously. Honestly, Minnesota and Illinois show up and have a beer or two. And when they leave, Wisconsin is just getting started, tapping a new keg, garage full of kegs. 6 wins by a mile. Michigan and Indiana just stay home, watch cable, go to bed early.

Got a text congratulating me for signing up to be a delegate for CD5

A interesting campaign strategy, given that I never signed up to be a delegate!

We've been telling these stories for a while now and it's difficult to accept that we are picking the bad choice.
There's a big outbreak growing bigger every week, and it will eventually devour the country. That's just where we are headed.
Measles is one of those nightmare diseases that, if it hadn't been killing people for hundreds of years, people would ABSOLUTELY be pushing conspiracy theories about right now. It's too nasty in too many different directions to seem natural. But oh, boy, it sure is.

Completely absurd. Get called to witness a verifiably illegal act, confirm it, and get back in the squad. Unbelievable.
Apparently New Brighton PD confirmed the plates do not belong to the Subaru or the Ram and that the tabs are expired. They confirmed that the plates belong to a government agency and stated they would not do anything.

I don't know why this is so powerful. I know so many guys just like this who have impressed me the last three months.

Close relative of mine went from politically agnostic to subscribing to the newspaper, giving aid, giving full throated support.
Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

I swear we have been telling this story for my entire life. The unending conflict between the "serious do-nothing center left" and the "unserious left demanding change"
too many liberals on here who think criticizing democrats from a further left position means you are just helping republicans. as if these democrats are above reproach and we should support them unconditionally and not want them to move left as republicans keep shifting the overton window rightward

Nothing is over until ice is abolished and our people are safe.

Even if every ICE agent left MN tomorrow to never come back, it's not enough. They will bring their violence to other states.

Injustice against one is injustice against all, and I've never believed it more.

Fuck this bribe-taking thug and his fascist goons. Should never have been here.

Thousands kidnapped.
Kids in jail.
Brown people scared to be outside.

Say it loud.
I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

My 4yo once asked me if people who drink diet coke die.

Floundered for a nutritional explanation before I connected the phonetic similarity.

A week later, he asked if people in Edina die. My wife started explaining, well son, everybody, ya know... I jumped in and said no, it's not like diet coke!
always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay

Is anyone else getting like six brand-new accounts every day following them? None of which are "hot singles in your area" but clearly one step removed?

A brand new account, no MN in bio and no posts I am blocking on sight

Hoping that at least one agent, after enduring the Dick Gaunlet, thinks "I didn't sign up for this"
At Whipple where expired dicks are being thrown at ICE vehicles and those believed to be agitators. The area has been a place of protest since thousands of federal agents arrived in the city.
