Mail-in voting is safe. Period. Trump and Republicans know it. But they also know winning fair and square doesn’t look likely with their horrible policies and broken “promises.” That’s why they’re hell-bent on gutting voting rights. When you can’t win fair, you cheat.

I saw my first ICE attack — 4 unmarked black SUVs with blue lights flashing, w three house painters cuffed on the side of a highway they'd backed up for 30 minutes in both directions — and I can tell you this much: I will die hating these people, and I will spend the rest of my life ruining theirs.

So many men wanted to rape and enslave people that we had to create legislation to discourage them. So many men wanted to marry children that we had to establish a legal age of consent. That's insane and our country acts like that's normal.

Experimental philosophy

So many people fail to speak out against injustice and oppression because they're too busy consuming content about injustice and oppression that occurred 50 years ago. Lock in babe, it's hell out here and we need you now.

Again, we apologize to the river witch for accidentally using her cauldron for the Sunday brunch lobster bisque. Please turn our chef back into a human.

A review for a Little Caesar’s somewhere by Kevin S: Stopped into this Little Caesars just trying to get a $6 pizza and ended up in a full on action movie. Just as I grabbed my order, this furious dude barges in yelling about how I cut him off in traffic earlier. Before I can even respond, he throws a punch but then out of nowhere the guy behind the counter jumps over it like he's been waiting for this moment his whole life and just beats the living hell out of the guy. The guy ran off and the cashier just dusted himself off. I said "are you ok man" and he looked me dead in the eye and said "B*tch, this is Little Caesars. We always hot and ready." Five stars. Will absolutely return.

I AM SHRIEKING 💀🤣

Forget the statue at City Hall, this guy is the *real* Spirit of Detroit. 🫡

GRPD unjustly arrested two members of Rapid Response to ICE this morning outside of the ICE offices and impounded their car. GRPD would rather assist Nazis than protect their community.

Once the files are leaked I move we all get a week off work to process everything, and donald has to stay off the Internet. I just need a MOMENT of peace

Don’t get it twisted this country was built on rebellion. 🇺🇸

If they could dump tea over taxes 🫖

We can flip tables over fascism.

Shoutout to dogs, cats, people with PTSD and my fellow autistic folks on Fourth of July. Fireworks loud and bright and bad

Volunteers Train to Monitor ICE Raid Escalations in Los Angeles Volunteers keep watch with the aim of alerting the community to any Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations.

While L.A. residents — and much of the country — were transfixed for days by images of masked officers rounding up immigrants and protesters flooding downtown streets, this quieter, grassroots effort to protect vulnerable communities from these raids has continued to unfold.

I used to assume our representatives were some of the most intelligent people in the country. Realizing how false that is is actually so scary

Helping kids learn emotional regulation in the midst of crashing out about the state of the world and the fall of democracy is... Surreal.

not now handmaid’s tale (read the room!)

I'm curious: how many of you in the U.S. are participating in the economic blackout today? We are. 🤘🏼

This whole country wants bad things for others more than they want good things for themselves.

Things are coming apart quickly, so a word to white folk: you’re going to have to get used to property damage if you want to survive. Getting upset protesters set an empty Target on fire & making THAT & not police murder the focus is part of how we got here.

State Department visa policy could bar trans people from traveling to U.S. Violations could result in travel bans beyond just athletes

Finally.

A major media outlet has finally reported on Trump’s total travel ban for transgender visa applicants seeking the United States.

I had to scream for two days to get someone else to report on it.

It is NOT just for athletes.

God, take JoAnn's pain and give it to Hobby Lobby

But I KNOW we're gonna find out really soon that protection against the fall of democracy was never a concern for gun owners who weren't even bothered when their precious guns killed our kids at school

The more I think about how Donald wants to be king, the more I discover a newfound appreciation for the second amendment.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame.

The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight.

It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

I get that denial is a common coping mechanism but those people need to open their eyes and stop taking a backseat to life. Because stuff IS that bad and we HAVE seen this before. Now what are you gonna do about it?

Those of us who work in gender medicine are not going anywhere What’s more, we’re expanding.

“We’re not going anywhere. What’s more: we’re expanding.”

Nearly a dozen of Minnesota’s foremost experts on gender-affirming care collaborated on this beautiful op-ed in today’s Strib. No paywall.
