Minneapolis residents who pay immigrant neighbors’ rent ask city to delay evictions A council committee voted to temporarily extend eviction notice filings from 30 to 60 days; the full council will vote again.

Tomorrow the City Council has the opportunity to listen to this call and take a step to take care of our residents.

i'm not an economist but if 900 people can afford to fund $3,000 checks to damn near everyone else in america and still be insanely fuckin rich afterwards maybe they have too much fuckin money

Dreaming of getting back in the garden 🌿🐝🪻🐞

Especially when my area might be getting another 2-6 inches of snow tonight. 😭

About time someone said it to their faces

'Potential'. A dryad holding a magnolia in front of the night sky. She looks very much like a tree, and she has dark eyes and a hopeful expression. Made with colored pencil and green and brown watercolors.

'Death'. A woman in a romantic dress lies dead on the autumn forest floor, and a crown of white mushrooms grows on her head. Made with colored pencil and watercolors in yellow, brown, and green.

'Life'. A willow fae looks directly at the viewer. Her long green hair is covered with buttercups and butterflies, and white abstracted line art representing their growth, life, and movement. Made with colored pencil, yellow and green watercolor, and white ink.

'Dream'. A naiad in profile underwater, with swirling weeds all around. She looks very much like water, is transparent, and has white line art in her hair that looks like the movement of water. Made with colored pencil, blue and green watercolor, and white ink.

Hi, I'm a mixed media traditional artist based in the US, and I'm inspired by nature, folklore, and fantasy. ✨

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

Patreon post header graphic for "Shouldn't Need to Be a Lawyer" by Matthew Cortland, dated 03/04/2026. Title reads: "Steven Pinker Helped Epstein's Lawyers Argue Sex Trafficking Wasn't Sex Trafficking. The NYT Just Gave Him a Platform to Argue Disability Isn't Disability."

In 2007, Steven Pinker argued that "entice" didn't mean entice, to defend child rapist Jeffrey Epstein. In 2026, he's arguing that "disability" doesn't mean disability, and the New York Times is letting him do it without mentioning his history.

This. Both JD Vance and Trump are virulent racists despite being married to immigrants.

I don’t want to share the video because it’s pretty graphic, but apparently we’re at the ‘Republican Senator breaks the arm of a Marine IN FULL DRESS because that marine was protesting the Republicans starting a war of choice with Iran’ stage of things.

The Massachusetts Department of Correction has been fighting me for months, trying to withhold data about its collaboration with ICE.

Yesterday, I won that fight, and obtained records showing that the state has transferred more than 2,000 people into ICE custody since 2009.

A quick thread:

🤔"They are narrow and they are easy..."

The historian author:
* Cites the Montgomery bus boycott
* Knows that it lasted 381 days
* Lists that as an example of "easy?"

Black people walked to work in the Jim Crow South for over a year? Easy?

Then lists "Delete Facebook" as an example of "hard?"

Today's racial wealth gap is wider than in the 1960s Average wealth in America has grown over the past 50 years, but not at the same rate for everyone. Wealth gaps, especially between whites and non-whites, are growing. In 2013, the average white family...

There are *more* innocent Black people unfairly incarcerated today than there were in 1960. Hundreds of thousands more. 🤦🏿‍♂️

The racist gap in wealth *widened* between 1960 and 2013. 🤦🏿‍♂️

Segregation is *increasing* rather than decreasing in over 100 US cities. 🤦🏿‍♂️

I spent most of the 90s in jeans with oversized tie-dye T shirts with an open flannel shirt over serving as jacket/sweatshirt. I also have photos in brown jeans with a denim shirt.

The headline reads "Meta workers say they're seeing disturbing things through users' smart glasses."

In a moment of uncharacteristic incredulity I assumed it was badly written. Why would Meta *workers* being seeing things through Meta *users'* glasses?

SILLY ME.

Yep. And there's at least one other reserve company on that base as well.

I need reporters who have decided to finally push a little to differentiate between "declaring war" and "passed an authorization for use of military force" because they are different and the GoP is going to smugly say they were right allowing them to avoid the fact this action IS different.

Oop. And the other browser can't even post now. We'll see how long this one manages.

Ah, and now bsky is disconnecting chats and not able to restore them. FUN

Reminder that the dev is a racist and transphobic piece of shit and you definitely should not be buying this

Saw a bunch of people I know play the demo (before everything came out about the dev) and figured they might not know about the full situation

This. The framing of any form of transness as actually being conformity—or worse yet, hyper-conformity—is so dishonest it's almost shocking.

incredible scenes where this is apparently a thing that Khameni has been wanting for ages and others on the council were pushing back against because optics but now council's all dead and congratulations on toppling the regime by giving the previous leader exactly what he wanted- a family throne
