Record-breaking downfall? Did you perhaps mean record-breaking snowfall?

If protesting is too risky, “…what are the risks of not showing up?”
I want to shout this in the face of all my friends who sit and say “it’s too stressful to be informed” and just huddle over their little nut and hope somebody else solves all the problems and doesn’t bother them about any of it.

They’re acting like a pack of feral animals.

What the president can do to deescalate the situation is pull ICE out of Minneapolis.

I disagree. The mayor of Minneapolis, and Minnesota Gov. Walz have requested the help of the Minnesota National Guard after strongly criticizing the federal abuse of Minnesotans and calling repeatedly for ICE to leave. Minneapolis law enforcement can’t keep up with calls for help from Minnesotans.

“Who ya gonna believe baby, me or your lying eyes?”

Please explain what it means to commiserate TO someone???? Is this a weird new usage or is it AI slop? 🧐

It is sadly an empty victory, as the Trump administration has zero intention of complying with the law or any judicial ruling.

Mixed feelings on this.

I remember (somewhat) the introduction Walter Cronkite wrote to my mid-80s reissue of “1984”: “if it has failed as a prophecy, it has succeeded as a warning.”

If you know any history at all… watchingAmerica’s self-immolation is like watching re-runs of a train wreck, in slow motion, and feeling just as completely helpless to stop it.

Internalized racism, performing for the white right to curry favor and establish herself as a “good” one… so much shame here.

Not only do we not teach our future citizens civics, we don’t even teach them math??? 🫣

This is no way to run a country ☹️
