Driftless Thinking

Still up on the official White House website:

it’s like the FIFA peace prize doesn’t mean anything anymore

Eviction filings up in Minnesota amid ICE surge It’s too soon to tell how much the immigration crackdown is to blame.

Fetch me my fainting couch if there is one. The filings for evictions do not show hope there. www.startribune.com/eviction-fil...

We keep us housed. Rent funds are a dire need. And yes, there is more, but if you don’t know where to start…rent funds at www.standwithminnesota.com

This feels like a very harsh criticism considering it’s Whiskey Friday with Tony Dokoupil.

they do indeed let you rawdog autism and adhd as long as you're good enough at masking and the grades are good huh

I’d be laughing with your post, but too much of that leads to crying jags so I’m trying to cut back on any overt displays of emotion rn.

Born amidst salt and smoke, you say?

My “I’m not asking you to do anything illegal” tshirt has a lot of attorneys asking questions already answered by the shirt.

I can forgive (and even love) a lot of brutalism that others loathe. But the lack of windows at street level? Capitol crimes.

This is beautiful. Resonated deeply with an experience I got to have today.

It’s time for the state to start stepping up and helping our neighbors just like local residents have been with mutual aid.

An ample and open clerestory should get the attention of any right minded suitor.

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

i really struggle to understand how anyone could behave this way. i mean, intellectually, i get it. i research monsters for a living. i know they’re real.
but imagine slamming the cage door in a crying child’s face, having just confiscated her crayons. and then going home to your own family???

It’s true, and we’re gonna keep saying it. Your trans self is fearfully and wonderfully made, and damn anyone who says otherwise. 🏳️‍⚧️

HOLD FAST

Remember every time we heard that ICE “wasn’t like normal policing?”

It absolutely is.

A thing that happens a LOT:
charges get brought & that becmes the historical record because the State/Fed/whatever part of the carceral system doesn't give the same air to the outcome, forcing the charge to be the narrative, shaping the court of public opinion.

Be loud about these wins, Minnesota.

It simply cannot be Whiskey Friday with Tony Dokoupil fast enough.

True. Carriage hauling horses also went to the glue factory after being worked to death. I’m just struggling in my imagination of a world that doesn’t behave so crassly Malthusian. Probably the depression. Maybe it’s living through metro surge. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yup. There is a long road ahead.

The only thing that makes his downfall anything less than delicious is how fucking overdue it is.

I feel like this guy doesn’t really remember there were glue factories. Sometimes, when people or other actors become disposable in a system…they are liquidated.
