today i am challenging democratic politicians, for the rest of the week, to pick one (1) horrifying thing republicans are doing and pretend its as bad as jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

id suggest tom homan taking bribes, but theres a few things to pick from if they want

Two things:

1) Black Lives Matter is not *done*. It's never done. Me Too, also not done. Y'all really underestimate our endurance.๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฟโ€โ™‚๏ธ

2) It's not difficult to be an ally. Andrew Garfield and Julia Roberts made space, Ayo Edebiri took her space, and the nonsense question was exposed for what it is.

Every single person who thinks these ICE actions are somehow justified should read this. So many horrifying stories like this.

@amyklobuchar.com @smith.senate.gov What are you and democratic leadership doing about this? You're local offices don't seem to have an answer.

As an employer of 17 people that has helped create wealth and prosperity in the state, I'm very disappointed by the capricious and far reaching impact of the recent tariffs. We need help. @timwalzparody.bsky.social @bettymccollum04.bsky.social @amyklobuchar.com @smith.senate.gov @ilhanmn.bsky.social

One weird trick to improve public discourse: nobody is allowed to talk about "AI" in the abstract.

If you want to weigh in on AI, you owe us at LEAST one full sentence worth of context.

What kind of AI? To do what? By who, and where, when, and why?

Give it up or STFU.

To our trans neighbors: I see you and I stand with you.

I will always fight for your right to live with safety, dignity, and respect.

No exceptions.

I feel the exact same way about a person deriving joy from firing government workers and defunding programs helping the worldโ€™s poorest.

I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.

The Minnesota Republicans scheduled ANOTHER trans sports bill for our judiciary committee tomorrow, three days after a trans sports bill failed on the floor.

They are committed to moving bills intended to hurt people. Nothing theyโ€™re doing helps anyone. That appears to be the GOP mission: Do harm.

An Open Letter to Senator Klobuchar We are writing to you, our senior US Senator, to ask for your help. We need you to fight for us.

We wrote a letter to @amyklobuchar.com.

We need her to start fighting for Minnesotans.

I started my career with John Deere and they remain one of the best companies I've worked with. Glad to see they're sticking to their values.

Thank you Governor Walz for being vocal about this when so many other politicians are shying away from it

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the authorโ€™s clear intent is pretty shitty.

i'm tired of being told to stop doomscrolling. i'm just scrolling, it's not my fault there's doom on there

Um...thanks?

Thank you for taking the time to contact me. I appreciate hearing from you on this important matter, and I will keep your views in mind as relevant legislation and other decisions related to this issue come before the Senate.

You can definitely submit a web form or leave a voicemail though, so that's exciting

Probably naive of me, but I tried to go to the local office of @amyklobuchar.com to raise issues I'm concerned about. Yeah..we don't do that here.

Anybody out there have a relatively low cost 4K 32"+ monitor that they'd recommend?
