I wonder why the Democrats are always recruiting former military rather than, say, community organizers, public defenders, or nurses.

I stand by everything I have said about McCarthy

While Republican politicians around the country are helping TPUSA set up student groups in public schools, the guy who hosted TPUSA’s alternative halftime show and who frequently appeared with Charlie Kirk on his podcast is repping McCarthyism 2.0.

What I find interesting about this line is that it’s an admission in order for this to happen, they need you to lose your ordinary intelligence that you already have.

This is why they want to get into schools. They want kids to lose basic capacity so that they have to rent it forever.

"They’re going to say...'immigrants are terrorists. Anyone protesting ICE now is a terrorist...The Democratic Party are terrorists.' So they’re trying to illegalize the opposition."

THIS is why disrupting criminalization is essential to antifascism.

I am sort of shocked that both the outlet and the journalist seem to have thought that nothing bad would happen because, I guess, only a certain class of person has their gambling get out of hand?

The formulation here is the perfect representation of the whole anti-trans movement:

"We want no trans 'mutilization' of your children" (which isn't happening but liberals keep falling for it)

followed by the more direct and honest "we don't want transgender people" that nobody seems to hear.

EVERY SINGLE PART of a lily is toxic!

Petals, leaves, pollen, the water in the vase.

You can celebrate someone other ways besides killing their cat.

I worked as a vet tech for 10 years. Let me assure you, you don't want to see your cat go through this nightmare.

The more you understand the NPIC/non-profit social services as a money laundering operation and a tax shelter for very wealthy people, the more everything makes sense.

Minneapolis City Council
350 South 5th Street
Room 370
Minneapolis, MN 55415
Dear Council President Payne, Council Vice President Osman and Council Members:
This letter is to inform you that I have vetoed Ordinance No. 2026-002 to extend the pre-eviction notice for
renters to 60 days. I understand the authors’ intent, but the experience from COVID-19 and guidance from
shelter and affordable housing providers shows that this strategy has not worked. We have heard over and over
again from shelter and affordable housing providers that longer timelines produce worse outcomes for
residents. In their words, when rental assistance isn’t available, time is a debt trap that becomes a barrier to
securing future housing.
I heard a call for more financial assistance, and I believe that is the best path forward. Rental assistance is
working and getting to renters quickly – rent collections are better in 2026 than 2025. That’s why I’m proposing
to spend $1 million from the Affordable Housing Trust Fund for emergency rental assistance administered
through Hennepin County.
While a 60-day pre-eviction notice period sounds good, there is no data to show that it does good. Pandemic
era eviction moratorium allowed many renters to accumulate huge amounts of debt that they are still paying off
today. When property owners carry the losses, the housing system experiences upward pressure on rents to
replenish reserves, catch up on missed mortgage, insurance, utility, payroll, and property tax payments, and
cover increased costs associated with deferred maintenance.
I believe most landlords are working with tenants to develop payment plans and access rental assistance. But for
bad actors, I worry that the proposal gives them reasons to report tenants to ICE or use minor lease violationswhich don’t require as much notice and are harder to expunge – to evict tenants.
We will continue to monitor the data. If something substantially changes, I am committed to working with the
City…

mayor jacob frey has vetoed the pause evictions, save lives bill the minneapolis city coucil approved that would've extended the eviction timeline from 30 days to 60 days temporarily to held families impacted by the ICE invasion catch up paying rent

We need reparations for ICE victims.

Anything short of that is setting the stage for a massive wealth grab from people of color that will re-entrench racial disparities for generations.

I really think that some of you don't understand this country at all. Folks, 41% support is extremely LOW for a war led by this country. I ask you to right-size your expectations. This is a country that almost ALWAYS supports wars in the majority when they are launched.

If gender were the immutable biological reality they claim to believe it is, they wouldn't need to spend so much energy policing it like this.

I think what they're really trying to say is "How do I explain that queer people are bad when more and more of the world is saying they're good? How can I claim queer people are base animals when they're walking around openly being regular human beings?"

A drawing of Octavia Butler. The drawing is stylized: a Black woman shown from the chest up, looking at the viewer. She is gently lit and shadowed, wearing a vaguely floral shirt, overlaid and laid over transparent sun shapes. Around her are the words, "There is nothing new under the sun, but there are new suns. - Octavia Butler"

She's one of my favorite artists. Octavia Butler died 20 years ago today, and her works continue to gain popularity as new readers look to her strong protagonists for guidance on how to live after The End. Even though she of her books seem eerily prescient
