Post

The great @usefulnoise.bsky.social made a request that we all write something about what life in Minnesota is like for folks who live elsewhere or might be outside our normal neighbothis-Bluesky footprint. So I went to cursed Facebook and wrote this. Maybe it will help you share your own thoughts.

I guess POC don't need to wear an identifying symbol but otherwise this is following the Nazi playbook with ICE as the Gestapo.To the fucking letter. And you know what? It was fucking OBVIOUS this would be happening and still millions of cunting Yanks voted for it or didn't bother to vote at all. 🖕

I’m taking 30 days off all social soon to see how it feels. Then deciding where and when to come back. Hate X, but also still feel an obligation to be a reasonable voice given my audience size there, but they make it harder to want to stay every day.

Thank you for writing this. I shared it on FB. BTW, I think there's a typo. You have "to make sure conditional rights are observed" when I think it should be "to make sure constitutional rights are observed".

terrific idea. feel like the national media "main signal" hasn't yet captured the way this onslaught is different in degree to Chicago/LA--permeating the daily lives of a bigger slice of the public by being more dispersed in a smaller city. soon most of us will have seen it personally.

Shhh, maybe the Angel of Inference was moved by your very well-considered post about outsiders not putting their doom shit on us in the middle of defending ourselves.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings. I always feel better after reading your posts. Things are grim, but this community is not caving to the thuggery.

Thanks David, great catalyst. I shared on my FB with my own thoughts and was pleased to see hundreds of shares, and hearing about 500 more from a friend who shared. This is needed!
