I almost want just four years of pure revenge. Double stuff pack the court like eight new justices, withhold disaster funds from red states but give them to blue municipalities in those states, try to destroy car dealerships altogether, treat rich sex pests like Rs treat immigrants, etc.

it’s fine to laugh at Milo being locked up by ICE just like I think it’s fine to laugh at the car dealership owners that thought being a rich republican guy would protect their much younger third wife from being deported. It’s a simple case of “get fucked, idiot” imo and isn’t condoning anything.

Minnesotans love our third spaces, we love our special events, we love our little treats, we love Doing Our Civic Duty, and we love anything we can claim is *distinctly Minnesotan* whether it is or not, and the MN State Fair is like the center of allllllllllll those Venn Diagram circles at once.

there’s an important lesson in Abdul El-Sayed’s win and Francesca Hong’s loss, and that is that in politics it’s good to be cool and bad to be weird.

I know in the minds of Democrats the ballroom, the arch, the golden statues, putting his name on everything are nothingburger issues next to health care or whatever, but they’re actually a lot easier to grasp and firmly demonstrate how ABNORMAL this all is.

The policy juice in terms of increasing birth rates without doing anything horrific is pretty clearly getting people who already have one or two kids to go “ehh fuck it what’s another”, but everyone wants to litigate culture war shit about the childless

Max Kennerly@maxkennerly.bsky.social

As a parent of three kids, who I adore and I absolutely would not change a thing, let me be blunt: DO NOT HAVE KIDS IF YOU DO NOT WANT KIDS. DO NOT HAVE KIDS OUT OF ANY SENSE OF OBLIGATION TO ANYONE ELSE. You are not doing the world a favor. You are manufacturing a bad situation for them and you.

I think another reason many Americans Feel Bad About the Economy: There is a constant barrage of information indicating to the casual observer that people who run scams and lie and refuse to play by the rules aren't just going unpunished, they're *making way more money than you are* as a result.

it's grim, but the reality is that Trump wants more innocent people to die here in the Twin Cities and the GOP majorities in both chambers of Congress are either ambivalent about more lives being taken or outright support it

DFL legislators need to insist on a compensation fund of tens of millions of dollars to offset economic harms of the ICE siege. It infuriates me that Mercado Central has to hold a $500,000 bake sale to hold onto their building. Tens of fucking millions.

People who say this are clearly speaking aspirationally about a shared American creed they hold dear. “Have you heard of the Trail of Tears?” is not a very helpful response, because they probably have and the priority right now is moral opposition to fascism and not fake-educating each other.

Mikki Kendall@karnythia.blacksky.app

I fear my tipping point into madness is "Thus is un-American" posts in response to ICE terrorizing immigrants. I beg you to open Wikipedia (I would say a book but let's start small) and read up on The Trail of Tears, Fugitive Slave Catchers, Japanese internment, Indian Boarding schools & Jim Crow

I feel pretty misunderstood by people living in rural areas, and yet mysteriously, this isn’t considered a problem. I’m sick of putting up with this idiotic display of obeisance to chucklefucks simply because they live in rural areas.

Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social

Republicans control all 3 branches of government. Even when they don't, both parties pump out constant rhetoric about "real Americans" living in rural areas. The entire premise of this article is a conservative-fluffing myth. Cities have more political power because that's where most people live!
