NPR - do better. ‘…after DHS Agents executed Alex Pretti…while he was helping a woman and filming them, which falls under his first amendment right to observe and record law enforcement in public.’

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

You have to read her Newsflesh and Parasitology series-both are fantastic. And scary close to home. Also love her urban fantasy (Seanan McGuire) especially October Daye & InCryptid series. She’s incredibly prolific, and I really enjoy her writing-though I’m currently behind on two of her series!

Not following you bc you are whitewashing the lede. There are no ‘doge officials’.

A sign of wisdom is refusing to believe every thought that enters your mind.

A mark of emotional intelligence is choosing not to internalize every feeling that enters your heart.

Excellent!

Glad to see you here, Governor Pritzker!

I like Bluesky bc I can talk politics and a billionaire doesn’t get to decide who sees it
