After happy hour ends

This is so fucked. I'd like it to be on record what they plan to do with the gun that they don't know how to use

Does it count if you just have Jesus in your cuck chair?

Democrats are hoping we'll all be calmer about this in 2 weeks

They are hoping we will memory hole every awful thing that's happened this month while the GOP tries to get their people to be more genteel with the kidnappings

Calling my senators to tell them to vote "no" actually

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

Scary short guy is a weird way to write Nazi

CHARLES RAFFERTY The Problem with Early Warnings People don't like to leave a party unless the house is actually on fire. Even then, if the flames are far enough away to be pretty, they'll finish their drink, take one more pass at the hors d'oeuvres. How things happen has always been unclear. Hurricanes begin in a place where no one lives. Agents of the government start to wear masks. Fascism is a word my neighbors won't use yet. They are following the law, they say, and the sirens are coming for someone else.

This hit so fucking hard today.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

the moment the second person comes into the frame to stand with his neighbor is so incredibly beautiful

"Ooooooooh, Mister Grant!"

We can build beautiful things in the darkest times. I’ve seen this all over the world, in Kurdistan and the Darién Gap and in the mountains and deserts of the borderlands. You can do it on your block now, it’s not special or hard, it’s how we are supposed to be and it’s inside all of us.

school being canceled because the president sent armed thugs to harass and imprison the populace for voting against him should be the biggest domestic scandal in american history

Something about a metaphor

Literally sitting on a patio in Portland rn drinking a cocktail. No fires so far.

The way John Wick feels about his dog is how I feel about Portland Oregon

it’s a beautiful day to shut the fuck up

Will Riker wearing a v neck that goes almost down to his dick

despite everything, i still believe in the potential of humankind to create utopia. but it will require hard work, courage, and above all else extremely deep v-necks that go almost down to the dick

this jacket also lets you display you cds

i mean it's also a Nestlé company so that's the biggest strike against them

My old roommate used to put his burrito in a giant bowl and then cut the whole thing up with a fork and a knife. Anyway there were signs of his decent into madness long before it happened

Suspect showed few signs of political extremism before lawmaker shootings Friends and associates say Vance Boelter, who was apprehended late Sunday and charged with murdering a state lawmaker and her husband, was mild-mannered and did not appear to be fixated on politics.

This is continued journalistic malpractice from the @startribune.com normalizing a violent white male suspect. He owned a private security company called Praetorian Guard, traveled overseas to preach against abortion and LGBTQ+ people, and attended a bible college that preaches "violent prayer."

@margaret.bsky.social it's my fave too

pretty upset that my Libby holds are being reduced to 10 from 20

How to Protest Safely: What to Bring, What to Do, and What to Avoid If you’re planning to hit the streets, here’s what you need to know.

Really good unpaywalled list of protest techniques from Wired (including a great shout-out to MPD150!).Good things to remember: water and not milk, remove contacts, turn off biometrics, go with a friend, no face pics, bring snacks and don't forget to dance www.wired.com/story/how-to...

Of course and thank you! I'd definitely say you are more than a pretty good essayist

So many moments and quotes from this book are really resonating right now like this one, "If American history proves anything, it is that a core of committed racists will always beat a large crowd of noncommital non-racists"

Everyone with a connection to the midwest should probably read "Midwest Futures" by @philipchristman.bsky.social

we are more polarized than ever, and the consequences of extremism are equally bad on both sides: violent deaths for the majority of the population, indentured servitude, and an unlivable planet on one hand, and the possibility that a transgender teen might do a sport on the other

I hope it's a Bradford Pear
