I thought I'd read some notable "I'm fucking done with you clowns" legalese in the last few months, but hot damn

A tumblr post from user nitewrighter: Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now? The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances. Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW. Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

Boss, it's the fascism.

it would be equally disruptive but less front-facing.

After consideration, I think the only strike that's both plausible and would be devastatingly effective is a TSA workers strike. If the TSA decided as one that they weren't coming to work anymore, their demands (up to and including the crown jewels) would be delivered in under a week.

And it wasn't designed to cause pain (either to businesses or elsewhere) in pursuit of a goal. It was a single day action to show the world how united Minnesota was in its opposition to DHS actions. Those are different purposes.

It's worth noting that this is happening *during* state legislature negotiations on fraud oversight. The MN GOP could probably declare a huge win as they go into a Nov battle for an open gov and senate seat... if the feds just stayed out of it. But the feds are making MN blue for the next 50 years.

It does feel like we're being hunted for sport. This is going to get stomped in court quickly, I think, but they know that and the point is to terrorize the populace. Fuck 'em.

i am going to stab myself with a spork

is that not a brachiosaurus hatching from an egg?

Not even the admin can possibly think this will go anywhere. The goal is to keep trying to terrorize Minnesota out of spite.

It feels like we're being hunted for sport.

Trump hates Omar. On a true soul-deep level.

It's felt for months now that the fed govt is doing everything it can, including acts of violence, to make the Twin Cities unlivable. Vance's announcement shows that effort continues even if Trump's thugs aren't killing people in the street rn. I just don't see how this can go on for 3 more years.

If anyone from outside the midwest is reading this, please be aware you just witnessed a Minnesotan murder

that splash you just heard was lisa demuth flinging herself into lake superior

someone search his hard drive asap

Does Spider-verse not fit the bill?

okay prepare yourselves, if aaron is going on vacation then It Will Happen

I never thought of it that way, but you're absolutely right

Trump’s ill health is going to protect him from removal; republicans are already figuring that Trump’s death will save them from the political danger of breaking with him

Color me skeptical, in that every time it seems Trump is done he somehow manages to slither out. I still think he dies in office. But this scandal is the bleeding ulcer of his presidency: it's always there in the background, sometimes flaring up, sapping his strength more and more.

sure would be a good time to have not torched their credibility in the cities

do you have a link on this? i'm not immediately seeing it on the site

The Athletic reports that Team USA GM Bill Guerin was who invited FBI Director Kash Patel into the locker room for the celebration

As Kash Patel actively covers up the murders of Minnesotans, the Minnesota Wild GM invites him into the USA locker room. Awful look.

Elephant and Piggie by Mo Willems: Gerald (the elephant) groaning so loudly that Piggie is crushed by his word bubble

“Wow, I dropped the ball on a lot of things for some reason, must be slacking—” you utter dipshit, what happened in the last couple months

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as “pulled a Target.”

They pulled a Target.

Pre-posting all the comments I need to make about tonight’s SOTU, which I don’t plan to watch.

It’s one of these:

1. That’s a lie. Violent crime is down in almost all cities, and dramatically.

Or:

2. That’s a lie. Your policies did nothing to drive crime down, and likely impeded those drops.

why did my child visit your house

surely we can teach the children how to ethically use this product designed for unethical use by unethical people
