Great timing for a new season of The Pitt. I was just thinking that I'm in a great frame of mine to be emotionally mauled by a bear

One thing about Minneapolis is most everyone knows where to go and what to do. I don’t generally see locals doom-posting. They’re out at vigils and protests or running mutual aid. My block leader and neighbors have already disseminated information about where to direct resources, effort, and energy.

I can't describe how bad Minneapolis feels right now. My neighbors are pulling kids out of school. The public schools are offering remote learning until 2/12. We are having conversations in our alleys about how to protect ourselves. It feels like a military occupation with a blockade.
The US Department of Agriculture suspends all federal funding to Minnesota, effective immediately.

People should be infuriated by masked thugs shooting people without any justification, or threatening those exercising their right to protest over those actions, or just by the general state of lawlessness of the government itself.
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

And senior Republican leaders who are not impeaching him now. The unprovoked invasion of our NATO allies is as cut-and-dried "impeach & remove immediately" as anything since WWII, aside from "incite an insurrection at the Capitol to steal an election."
Total failure of Article I of the Constitution

And make no mistake, this is the fault of senior Republican leaders who did not impeach and remove Trump in 2021 and conservative justices that gave Trump a blank check prior to 2024
Great that our senior military leaders have to resort to distraction attacks to keep the toddler in chief from doing something catastrophic

We are in a bad moment, and more bad will undoubtedly come, but the need to push back, the need to confront and challenge the empty hate of the Trump administration, has never been more clear.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

People are getting executed on the street, so thank god we have politicians brave enough to protect the nation’s windows
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says 29 people were arrested in downtown last night during a noise demonstration at a hotel reportedly housing ICE agents: "For those that are taking the bait and causing property damage or otherwise, there are consequences. We're holding the line here all the way."

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

It's incredibly demoralizing to constantly see the highest institutions of government and academia and the most important and widely seen news outlets knuckle under one after another, but then to see the gulf between that and the bravery of communities and neighbors and teachers - that's something

Just so folks know; if I did this for a client I would lose my fucking bar card.
It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers.
Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

thinking a lot lately about our surprise when the victim of state violence is white, a citizen, a priest, a veteran, some category viewed as exempt from that violence. it’s time to understand you aren’t. no one is. whiteness isn’t the color of your skin it is a conditional privilege you can lose.

Renée Good's last seconds alive with the man about to shoot her remind me of Elijah McClain saying, "You are beautiful and I love you" before he was killed. We have to end this brutality.
