The 28th Virginia battle flag is a Confederate battle flag that belonged to the 28th Virginia Infantry Regiment. Captured by the 1st Minnesota Infantry Regiment at the Battle of Gettysburg, the flag was brought to Minnesota and exhibited at the state's capitol for several years before passing into the permanent collection of the Minnesota Historical Society after 1896 where it has remained since.

Happy Confederate Surrender Day from Minnesota where we still have your goddamn flag and we’re not giving it up.

How do you feel about cilantro?

Gotta say, quite a thing for Melania to jump into the news cycle and push a key weakness for Trump with the base — Epstein — back into the news cycle right as a second issue with the base — the war — had pushed the first issue out of the daily news cycle.

Solidarity, counselor. Thank you for carrying on the profession.

This account necroposting just to harvest engagement feels like the Agentic Craze equivalent of the delivery bot that crashes through bus shelters

you don't need to reassure me that this will also not work for assorted cis people you know personally. i don't need to be convinced that this effects your mom's cousin ashley to decide it is trash. the fact that it erases people like me is actually enough for me. please don't be insulting

Promo for ProPublica news app event crossed out

If you registered to come to the event today on how to use the ProPublica Trump disclosures News app, the @propublicaguild.org is asking y’all NOT TO ATTEND in support of our strike today. We hate to do this, but management isn’t offering us a fair deal.

We're on strike! Don't visit propublica.org on April 8

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today.

Before I became an American, I was Lebanese. Parts of my family live in Lebanon.

Anyway, you don't need those bona fides to feel this way, but what is happening in Lebanon right now is a complete outrage. The people there, who mostly are just trying to carve out a living, don't deserve this.

To be fair, destroying the vehicle and arresting the driver sound like a proportionate and scalable way to deter parking in a crosswalk

The problem with an Everything App is that it trains you to pick up the Everything App for everything. Even for tasks where the Everything App is explicitly unsuitable!

But positioning as the Some Things App requires actual product design, which is work, which is hard, and gets less hype.

Wow

The White House Correspondents Association is planning to "honor" Trump at its dinner three weeks from now.

No way.

It was egregious before. Now it's obscene.

Reposting for truth

Sorry everything meaningful is having trouble getting around the mix of screaming and static in my head, I can share other people's meanful stuff, edge up on meaning sideways, and keep posting "I'm still here, are you still here?" cloaked in small talk

I'm here because my Jewish grandparents escaped the Holocaust. Many of our family were not so fortunate. NEVER AGAIN is supposed to include Iranians. And Palestinians. And Ukrainians. And on and on. There are no exceptions based on religion or country of origin.

I have a father and mother in law in Iran. I have a sister in law. A niece. She's 14. She likes silly pink headbands and purses and dresses, just like kids her age all over the world. There are 93 million people like her in Iran. People who do all the normal mundane life things as the rest of us.

ICE shoots alleged gang member near California's I-5 freeway Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers on Tuesday shot a man they described as an alleged gang member wanted for murder in Patterson, Calif., leading to the partial closure of the I-5 freeway in...

ICE shot another person. Based on their track record, there is no reason to blindly believe and echo their claim that their victim was related to gangs.

They have routinely lied so, sadly, we need to routinely question their version of accounts.

It’d be interesting if members of the United States Senate acted with moral clarity to “push back,” but alas

It boggles my mind that dem legislators aren’t literally hopping fences to get into the chamber. WE ALL SAW THIS HAPPEN IN SOUTH KOREA & IT FUCKING WORKED! THEY STOPPED A FASCIST COUP! GET OFF SM & GO TO FUCKING WORK!
