There’s a lot of talk about “fraud” in Minnesota politics right now. It’s important to note that grifters come in all colors and my own demographic, white dudes, continues to have leading innovators in the field. This is a new one:

Just because it’s predictable doesn’t mean it’s not a tradgedy

If you behave like an absolute demon to everyone all the time …appearantly if your Trump 40% of the voters still love you …but you will definitely lose a majority

Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson: 7 million people. Our neighbors, our friends, our community, did that. Over 300 some odd partner organizations from all over the country, from massive base building organizations to teeny tiny community defense groups. Y'all, we did that.

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

But if there was a 300 person demo in one city and someone broke a window it would be banner headlines.

Executive summary: the US killed at least 3 Colombian fishermen who’d put up a distress flag. In Colombian waters

They really are putting in the work

The key point here is that the highest levels of MAGA make a point to defend crude racism and Nazism. They could condemn it or say nothing, but they want everyone to know it’s ok by them, with whatever flimsy excuses.

I’ve been wondering if anyone would point this out.

Biden’s record on Gaza was shameful but Trumps unspeakably worse

Tl/dr - come to #NoKings it will give the fascists a sad.

Courage is contagious.

Derek is my favorite troll

Gong back to the “these guys are wierd” thing

Seems like quite a strong case!

In a thread about Pete Hegseth's fun socks, I write: "If you're wearing tailored clothing (suits, sport coats, tailored trousers), the safe, conservative option is to wear over-the-calf socks in a color that matches your pants. So grey socks with grey pants, tan socks with tan pants. Additionally, solid navy will always work with anything except black suits or tuxedos, which call for black socks." Then someone on Twitter replies: "I really hope you respond to this: I cannot see any problem with men displaying individual taste and style through their socks in the same manner as they would through their tie and/or a pocket square. Please explain why this is wrong."

Just saw this comment with regard to Pete Hegseth's love for fun socks.

I will tell you why fun socks are bad in a tailored outfit. 🧵

And our best hope is that it’s just nonsense

Things are quickly becoming ridiculous as well as dangerous. One important question is whether members of the legal profession will draw any lines

See the end of this thread for a place to send reports of ICE abuse. Hardworking journalists matter more than ever

If they had a right-wing, “tough-on-crime” coded mayor there would be endless national profiles about him and how he finally brought sanity back to Chicago.
