Man who wouldn't wear mask to protect people fine wearing mask to shoot them

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities.

Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

NVidia chief creep says resistance and scorn for AI have done a lot of harm. Good. Nice confirmation it's working. Keep it up. Although the main thing is this stuff is harmful crap so the mind and body tend to revolt against it automatically.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.

And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”

Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

I worry that people are relying too heavily on the fact that all this is unpopular in the polls. Most autocrats are unpopular with their people. Once you control every branch of government, muzzle the press, and start murdering your own citizens with impunity, you don't need to be popular.

He could have used his time to disavow the comments in the group chats. He could have called or had his staff call to get more insight before giving comment, as was suggested in the Mercury's initial email to his office. Instead he took a page out of the Trump playbook and just attacked our reporter
Portland City Councilor Dan Ryan blamed the press after taking heat for choosing not to address the contents of a story published in the Mercury the day prior.

Here are the receipts 🧾

The fact that thousands of Minnesotans continue to show up day after day and night after night to protect their communities knowing ICE agents are a hair's breadth away from murdering them is a fucking testament to their bravery, empathy, and resolve. America has not earned it, but there they are.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Here's the call to action. Please email if you work in comics, especially if you have a history of attending the SDCC. bsky.app/profile/kort...
GenAi has NO place at Comicon, ESPECIALLY at art shows!

By doing so Comic-con signals to older and newer generations of artists that their exploitation and replacement is worth putting on a pedestal.👎

Anyway here’s their email. Feel free to politely share thoughts:

PBS taught me English, so... a lot of feelings today.

But it's also an important reminder: people talk about how the next administration will fix things, but what Trump and Co. are doing right now will take generations to undo.

We can't just sit passively - it's about fighting from every angle.

The persistent belief that a previous version of Portland was perfect feeds the idea that our best days are behind us. It's inherently conservative, a nostalgic obsession that's little more than a Make Portland Great Again philosophy.

We've gotta define a compelling vision of the future.
