casual reminder that Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were assassinated seven months ago, and Senator Hoffman and his wife were seriously injured that day as well, and both of those things were outcomes that the current administration wants to happen again
someone just tried attacking rep ilhan omar at her town hall in north minneapolis, reportedly trying to spray her with something, but was tackled before he could get to her. she returned to speaking

Lmao they're finally getting it I guess
James O’Keefe responds to a comment
“Figured they (ICE protesters) were being paid…”
O’Keefe:
“No, it's more terrifying than that. It's not transactional.
They actually believe in their cause.
That truth is going to be hard for most people to understand or accept.”

Thinking Russia will easily overrun Ukraine's "they/them" army because a Russian soldier did shirtless pushups in a recruitment ad is basically the same as thinking ICE would easily dominate the "weak, woke libs" of Minnesota because MAGA posts about masculinity and hype videos with hard rock.

Lots of people pointing this out but this is basically the corollary to the way that simply describing the news that is actually happening makes you sound insane to most people: for the same reason, only satirical papers can get away with accurate headlines.

ICE detain yet another minor child—chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement.
"I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish.
Agent pins the boy down in snow—he desperately tries to keep his exposed hands from freezing at -25°F wind chill temperature.

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

this is a fake problem. no one is saying this to regular, offline people who are coming around. they’re saying it to people who are engaged in professional political analysis who committed professional malpractice by scolding people who saw what was coming.
no, those people shouldn’t get a break.

Bluesky idea: if people who didn't agree with you change their opinions so that they do agree with you, why not be happy that you are making progress - rather than complaining that they are "only just catching up"?

Following the Kent State massacre in May 1970, a Gallup poll showed that 58% of Americans thought the shootings were justified. The night *before* the killings, Ohio's GOP governor described the student protesters this way: "They're the worst type of people that we harbor in America."

The fact that every right winger with influence screams "who is paying for all of this" tells you exactly how awash in cash they all are, and how much they rely on that to keep their movement afloat.
James O'Keefe says he's never seen anything so organized as the anti-ICE movement, observers--he seems to think this term is code--everywhere he goes. Who is paying for it??? he demands to know. It's like he can't even imagine people caring for one another.

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics
Let us all have the courage displayed by the residents of Minneapolis.
