The people of MN give me far more hope than the largely feckless “opposition” leaders of our country or the deeply compromised and ineffectual media both-sidesing white nationalist totalitarianism.

🚨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.

It's not just that protestors in Minneapolis are still showing up after ICE murdered an innocent woman as she was leaving, it's that they do so nonviolently.
It would've been so easy to say "it's kill or be killed" but they didn't. The courage of these heroes is only exceeded by their humanity.

Yes the "liberal" press could take an interest in this one but the UK has no mainstream news outlet that isn’t extremely antitrans and thrilled to publish any lies in service of that agenda
At one point, the right wing press printed a story that 1000+ families were part of a law suit over Tavistock referrals for puberty blockers.
The only slight problem was that at that point, there hadn't even been a thousand kids referred.
OK so maybe a bigger problem was it was all MADE UP.

Every single woman you know has had this happen to her. Even the goddamn president of Mexico.
Brava: “If I don’t file a complaint, then what message does that send to all Mexican women?” Ms. Sheinbaum said at her daily news conference, noting sexual harassment was a crime… “If this can happen to the president, what’s going to happen to all the young women & women across our country?”

The decision to kill other people's infants is a personal one.
CDC ordered staff this week not to release their experts’ assessment that found the risk of catching measles is high in areas near outbreaks where vaccination rates are lagging.
“The decision to vaccinate is a personal one,” a spokesperson said, echoing a line from a recent editorial RFK Jr. wrote
