Listing every single country of *both* Americas for God bless America - that was pretty damn political
@chrislhayes.bsky.social - please ask @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social : did @governorwalz.mn.gov say anything about Jonathon Ross? We know he shot #ReneeGood but now all the focus has moved on & no mention of tracking him down. Do some deaths matter more than others?
STATEMENT FROM MATT MOBERG, CHAPLAIN OF THE MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES IF YOU'RE A CHURCH POSTING PRAYERS FOR PEACE AND UNITY TODAY WHILE MY CITY BLEEDS IN THE STREET. MISS ME WITH THAT SOFTNESS YOU ONLY WEAR WHEN IT COSTS YOU NOTHING. DON'T DRESS AVOIDANCE UP AS HOLINESS. DON'T CALL SILENCE "PEACEMAKING." DON'T LIGHT A CANDLE AND THINK IT SUBSTITUTES FOR SHOWING UP. TONIGHT AN ICE AGENT TOOK A PHOTO OF ME NEXT TO MY CAR, LOOKED ME IN THE EYE AND TOLD ME, "WE'LL BE SEEING YOU SOON." NOT METAPHOR. NOT HYPERBOLE. A THREAT DRESSED UP IN A BADGE AND A PAYCHECK. PEACE ISN'T WHAT YOU ASK FOR WHEN THE BOOT IS ALREADY ON SOMEONE'S NECK. PEACE IS WHAT THE POWERFUL ASK FOR WHEN THEY DON'T WANT TO BE INTERRUPTED. UNITY ISN'T NEUTRAL. UNITY THAT REFUSES TO NAME VIOLENCE IS JUST LOYALTY TO THE ONES HOLDING THE WEAPONS. STOP USING SCRIPTURE LIKE CHLOROFORM. STOP CALLING YOUR FEAR "WISDOM." STOP PRETENDING JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED BECAUSE HE PREACHED GOOD VIBES AND PERSONAL GROWTH. YOU DON'T GET TO QUOTE SCRIPTURE LIKE A LULLABY, WHILE INJUSTICE STAYS WIDE AWAKE. YOU DON'T GET TO ASK GOD TO "HEAL THE LAND" IF YOU WON'T EVEN LOOK AT THE WOUND. THERE IS A KIND OF PEACE THAT ONLY EXISTS BECAUSE IT REFUSES TO TELL THE TRUTH. THAT PEACE IS A LIE. AND LIES DON'T GROW ANYTHING WORTH SAVING. THE SCRIPTURES YOU LOVE WEREN'T WRITTEN TO KEEP THINGS CALM. THEY WERE WRITTEN TO SET THINGS RIGHT. AND SOMETIMES THE MOST FAITHFUL THING YOU CAN DO IS STOP PRAYING AROUND THE PAIN AND START STANDING INSIDE IT. IF THAT MAKES YOU UNCOMFORTABLE-GOOD. GROWTH ALWAYS IS.
Amazing statement from the chaplain of the MN Timberwolves, I’m guessing in response to the craven press release co-signed by so many local CEOs today (inc the Timberwolves!) calling for the “deescalation of tensions” here but refusing to assign any specific blame or even *mention* ICE / CBP
ICE beat a U.S. Marine Veteran, telling her: “Have you not learned? This is why we killed that lesbian bitch!”
These terrorists stomped on Skye, trying to break her ankle. As they tortured her, they asked if she “liked it,” called her “it,” and shoved her face into the ground fb.watch/EA74VnCULw/
they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
What important work have Code Pink ever done? They’re just a few performative wealthy white women who show up and scream in pink with signs, protesting whatever the current shiny news issue is.
Grok says, "The 'every damn time' is a meme nod to the pattern where radical leftists spewing anti-white hate, like celebrating drowned kids as "future fascists," often have Ashkenazi Jewish surnames like Steinberg. Noticing isn't hating—it's just observing the trend."
today in Grokology, the chatbot is doing antisemitism
My face when I heard that Liberty University offered full ride scholarships to underage teen moms for *decades* contingent on them being shipped off to a maternity home and giving their newborns up to University-approved couples who happened to be big alumni donors:
34 million?? Not even close.
There are only about 2 million able-bodied adults on Medicaid who aren't working, going to school, serving as a caregiver, or chronically ill: www.kff.org/medicaid/iss... Some are in their early 60s, retired, & waiting for Medicare. Probably not ideal farm workers.
Confused. So (apart from the other crazy assumptions underlying this) will farm workers get health coverage? Bc the idea of kicking people off Medicaid is that they can get jobs that provide health insurance, right? I’m just trying to keep up with the plot
Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."
More perspective (via @talkingpointsmemo.com) below from Harvard sociologist Theda Skocpol on how the massive expansion of ICE is the unlock for fascism in the United States.

Like so many elections around the country, today is about organized money vs. organized people.
I believe people will win.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.
My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.
I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.
I am aware non-citizens don’t have all the same rights that citizens have; I still think we should all agree that it is a Bad sign that the U.S. federal government feels more than comfortable publicly declaring that it wants to punish and/or deport people for “IDEAS” it doesn’t like
They will only ignore if there’s a protest action

Same. Like there was a noise like the rumble of a train, before I felt the sharp shock.
I had the same question!
LISTEN.
I'm writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages. We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets. We'll cover other topics too of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others. There was a time when a newspaper, especially one that was a local monopoly, might have seen it as a service to bring to the reader's doorstep every morning a broad-based opinion section that sought to cover all views. Today, the internet does that job. I am of America and for America, and proud to be so. Our country did not get here by being typical. And a big part of America's success has been freedom in the economic realm and everywhere else. Freedom is ethical - it minimizes coercion - and practical - it drives creativity, invention, and prosperity. I offered David Shipley, whom I greatly admire, the opportunity to lead this new chapter. I suggested to him that if the answer wasn't "hell yes," then it had to be "no." After careful consideration, David decided to step away. This is a significant shift, it won't be easy, and it will require 100% commitment — 1 respect his decision. We'll be searching for a new Opinion Editor to own this new direction. I'm confident that free markets and personal liberties are right for America. I also believe these viewpoints are underserved in the current market of ideas and news opinion. I'm excited for us together to fill that void. Jeff
This note that Jeff Bezos just sent to Washington Post employees about the opinion page is leading Post employees to speak out publicly.
Reporters like Jeff Stein (who is on the news side) say that if Bezos starts to interfere with his work he will quit immediately.
Aaand here we are. He’s fired.
Another Fri night massacre.
really terrifying to hear, but feels close to the truth. Most in the US can’t conceive of how quickly fascism takes hold. And right now most are feeling powerless or trying to take actions that would’ve worked in a past timeline but are outdated & defanged now!
THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION IS A DEPARTMENT CREATED BY STATUTE; IT CANNOT BE ELIMINATED BY EXECUTIVE ORDER! EXECUTIVE ORDERS CANNOT REPEAL STATUTES! JUST LIKE DEPARTMENTS CANNOT BE CREATED BY EXECUTIVE ORDER!
she shouts into the void
Will somebody please cover this story?? What is Conservative Governance?
This is what they’re aiming for. We need to know where they want the US to go

if he doesn't direct the national archivist to adopt the amendment i think he's using white house letterhead to write a blog post
Biden made a very misleading instagram post today about the ERA. It still is NOT in the constitution and we MUST pressure the National Archives!!!
