Spreadsheets are my love language and I think white supremacy is stupid. West coast girl living in New England. Recovering teacher. My dog is the best dog.

ITYSL/Detroiters all day.

Opinions are mine, and *sometimes* they’re satire.

I spent several years teaching in a locked-down juvenile detention facility and one thing I am good at is eviscerating the incel/tough-guy types.

Lesson #1 in handling an incel: DOMINATE HIM, but stay calm while doing it.

He says “your body my choice”? You post:
When a trans man wins first place, which WILL eventually happen, their heads will explode from terminal patriarchy.

There is a cottage industry of people who talk about how dangerous it is that people like Walz and Frey are being investigated and I’m just not having it.

Sure it’s concerning. I’m far more concerned about the people getting kidnapped and murdered than the powerful guys with security details.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.
Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost.

This is like a satanic parody of the best moments of Reconstruction, which saw the DOJ using federal power to break up white supremacist conspiracies against civil rights. Here, white supremacists in the DOJ are using conspiracy law to attack civil rights.

I’m starting a town where businesses and the government can only use 2005-level surveillance technology.

Who’s in?

(And what should we call it?)
A startup called SpaceVision tracks shoppers around brick and mortar stores and uses real-time data for targeted ads. For ex: they see that you watched a digital ad on a screen and picked up chips from the shelf. A few minutes later, a store could send you a deal for beer to go with chips.

You can build a 'conservative university' that's still a totally respectable university but the thing is that means you're getting a place like BYU, not the Epic Center For Lib Owning.

Part of the reason the festering corpse of Twitter has been “functioning” is because of previous infrastructure in the platform made by better people.

That infrastructure is eroding, and maybe that’s not why it’s not working rn, but worth noting.

Take a page out of every big brother’s playbook—reach into your pocket for your passport and pull out your middle finger.

Remember, the line is “fuck you, make me.”
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.

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide.

He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.
