Not in every case.

These men need to grow up & do things that need to be done because they need to be done.

Treating your partner like your mom is gross. Whoโ€™s coddling a grown ass man, make chore charts & also wants to be railed by them?

You killing your sex life looking for a mommy.

Late result for anyone still awake: Naโ€™Cole Thompson, the Democratic candidate in the mayoral race today in Leander, Texas, has won the election.

She got 57% and wonโ€™t need a runoff, with two Republicans adding up to 43%.

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.)  If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

The LAPD sent officers to train in Israel. Officials can't explain what they learned The Police Commissionโ€™s Office of the Inspector General found that the LAPD lacks a system for tracking employees who train with foreign law enforcement agencies.

The LAPD has been receiving training in Israel for forty years.
Last June, the LAPD brutalized ICE protesters and journalist in DTLA, which mirrors tactics used by the IDF against Palestinians.

Everyone should go to therapy, ESPECIALLY men. I donโ€™t care to quibble about why this dynamic is terrible for relationshipsโ€ฆ just know that a well adjusted woman will leave you if you require parenting. Fin!

I am not a man but the men disagreeing with this bc they havenโ€™t done any reading, therapy or have a vague understanding of the parent/child dynamic (which can exist even with no or bad relationships to your parents) is cracking me up but not in the hilarious way.

โ€œAct in a mothering wayโ€

So a wife/partner/gf has to single parent an adult?!? Because who is her partner? Whereโ€™s the fathering? Why canโ€™t his actual mother do this? What does this have to do with ME?

Feels like someone is trying to recreate their past and perpetuate a cycle.

Opt out!!!

Reminder that ICE was invented after 9/11 to terrorize people on US soil.

Wโ€™s โ€œwar on terrorโ€ incl mass surveillance, even more racial profiling & aggressive policing & treating immigration as a security issue. Muslims & Brown folk perceived as such can tell you how that went.

Abolish.

Twin Cities tow truck driver returns abandoned vehicles to families after ICE arrests Juan Leon sends a "chase" car to check out where abandoned vehicles are located and arranges discreet drop-offs. Since late December, he estimated they have dropped off 250 cars.

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota.

This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and heโ€™s been getting death threats.

They hate the helpers.

Which is why must keep helping.

He was picked in the first round by the Atlanta Falcons in the 2025 NFL Draft, and the runner-up for Defensive rookie of the year.

Pearce had 10.5 sacks during his rookie year, the most by a Falcons rookie since Micah Parsons (Dallas Cowboys) in 2021.

We've seen this before, the implication that this man's brilliant future will be jeopardized because of his crimes. But what about Rickea Jackson, herself an incredibly accomplished athlete!

A screenshot of a social media thread from Threads, featuring a post and a reply about the emotional labor involved in male friendships.

The top post is by user flo_dxcribe, who writes: "Fellas, I love us, and will never stop trying, but Iโ€™m not going to lie, trying to be in community with yall is EXHAUSTING. The ego, lack of emotional regulation, lack of communication when feelings are hurt.... Le sigh, man, Le fckn sigh."

Below this, a reply from user karlogan reads: "When men do the work on themselves they really do start to see what women have been complaining about for decades lol and it makes it just as exhausting trying to maintain friendships"

Games are being played with your right to vote. I know it's not possible for everyone, but I'm making sure I got all my paper work in order. Voter registration, certified copies of my birth certificate, Real ID, and U.S. passport.

All - after two years of transformation at The Washington Post, now is the right time for me to step aside. I want to thank Jeff Bezos for his support and leadership throughout my tenure as CEO and Publisher. The institution could not have a better owner.
