Radiant Starlight 🔜 AMKE

I was at a campaign event yesterday & a politician friend made this very important point to me: we can talk about all the different MN elections in Nov, but none of them is as close and crucial to fighting fascism than reelecting Keith Ellison

Every trans selfie you see here is the technology not being used for its original purpose: weird dudes grifting each other for fake money and posting bullet point summaries of 100 page self help books and arguing about age of consent laws.

Bluesky was literally meant to be a cryptobro social network for grifters, LinkedIn sludge, and libertarians who know way too much about age of consent laws.

Jack Dorsey *left* when instead of weird and off-putting cryptonerds, trans people started hanging out here.

Idk man I was probably doing algebra homework I’ve never been able to vote in a presidential election that donald fucking trump wasn’t running in

I have a cousin (gen X aged) who straight up just picked a different name. Unfortunately I do know her given name but I bet she would at minimum make a face if I referred to her as such (if I ever were to even see her lol)

names do not have to be such an issue

SAVE act is a poll tax Republicans are trying to ram through, though it's with some extra steps beyond a blatant having to pay at the polls.

‘Heroic actions are a natural tendency’: why bystander apathy is a myth Modern research shows the public work together selflessly in an emergency, motivated by a strong impulse to help

A MYTH MADE UP BY COPS TO HIDE THE FACT THAT THEY STOOD BY AND LET KITTY GENOVESE DIE BECAUSE SHE WAS QUEER

I actually had to put the opposite in my head -- that running and physical fitness are skills like art and creativity

I've always gravitated towards creative endeavors but never was a runner, and always struggled to get started. Now I'm still a slow runner but know I can get better if I pace myself

bringing a “skills can be learned through practice” philosophy to life that people who believe in immutable hierarchies don’t really seem to like

It would be nice if ICE actually fucking left when the weather started getting nice like it has today. Seems cruel to Minnesotans who can't safely leave their homes just yet.

you just keep cooking every time. Best wishes for your harmonycon sales!

In honor of our *NEW* new state motto…

right wingers have been very mad at rep brad tabke for openly helping ICE resistance and everything they share just makes him look cool as hell

and don’t forget he won this seat by only 14 votes!

The ICE surge ending is just false spring! Don't put away the whistles, don't put away the shovels!

YESSSSSSSSSS

Do not hang up your whistles yet.

I'm still close with two friends from middle school and I met my husband while I was in high school (we did not attend the same high school)

Since the current motto is en français: "Nous le croirons quand nous le verrons."

I have neighbors everywhere.

I’ll believe it when it happens

Fuck ICE

I know the wine moms are a better punchline but if you went to one of the early trainings it was by far mostly women over 60 out front. Aunties and grandmas. Don't forget it.

I, too, am hopeful.

But also, probably for the rest of my life, I’ll keep a whistle in my pocket, one in the car, and one by the front door.

It is and will always be F*CK ICE FOREVER.

A few ways we will know ICE is actually gone:

• Commuters no longer report regular verified ICE sightings
• Abduction reports dry up
• Hotel and car rentals end
• Non-ICE federal employees are brought back to the Whipple

tom homan is a bitch

It ain’t over til Minnesota has ICE’s battle flag

God, I hope ICE didn't learn the Minnesota Goodbye.

GIVE US OUR NEIGHBORS BACK

IT'S NOT OVER UNTIL THEY RETURN OUR NEIGHBORS

(also let's be real tom homan is a lying bitch)

yeah :(

It’s 12:40 AM, do you know where your helicopters are?
