Racism is literally all they are good at. They aren't attractive, so OnlyFans is out. They aren't funny or charismatic so being an influencer is a bust. And they have no skills so making instructional videos for YouTube isn't an option.
Prince died 10 years ago today. Here's a couple photos from that evening as people gathered to sing outside of First Avenue in Downtown Minneapolis. A photo from after George Floyd was murdered and a mural in Uptown seen in 2025.
ZOHRAN: “TBH, I don’t think too much about how Republicans portray me. The power of an ideology is judged in the worth of its delivery— to be told a city-run grocery store is implausible but $500 MILLION/day to kill ppl in Iran & Lebanon is necessary speaks to a broken politics.”
The fight for the Boundary Waters isn’t over, it just looks a little different now. We will not give up. That would play right into their hands.
Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty: "Today's charges reflect an important milestone in our efforts to seek accountability for the harms inflicted on our community during Operation Metro Surge ... we will not rest until accountability is delivered wherever appropriate."
Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty: "Are we concerned as to whether there would be federal blowback? Not a concern of ours. Our role is to hold people accountable if they violate the laws of Minnesota. We feel strongly that this ICE agent committed 2nd degree assault."
TurboTax and H&R Block spent $7 million lobbying the Trump administration to kill Direct File.
Both companies donated to Trump's 2024 campaign and inauguration committees.
ICE agent tells the New York Times they were nervous showing up in Minneapolis and how they travelled with “girly suitcases” to not be detected.
A Senior ICE official details how officers would block in and kidnap United State Citizens.

The vice president is there with a Secret Service detail, but sure
Rep. Delia Ramirez to @patrioticmillionaires.org: "One of the biggest lies we're told is that there's not enough for all of us to thrive, and that's why we need to cut cut cut."
CNN put together a montage of Chris Wright saying last month that "there's a very good chance" gas prices will be back below $3 a gallon by the summer, followed by a clip of him saying yesterday that "by the summer is an aggressive timeframe now"
Sen. Van Hollen to @patrioticmillionaires.org: "We need to demand that everybody use their full powers to fight and win. If the people in Minneapolis can stand up and fight and blow the whistle on ICE to protect their neighbors, every single one of us can do that."
New analysis reveals at least 763 Iranian schools and 316 health care facilities have been bombed during Trump's Iran war.
Cardinal Cupich: "We're dehumanizing the victims of war by turning the suffering of people & killing of children & our own soldiers into entertainment. To splice together movie cuts w/ actual bombings & targeting of people for purposes of entertainment is sickening. This is not who we are."
Pope Leo: "I have no fear, neither of the Trump administration nor speaking out loudly about the message of the gospel."
Pope Leo: "To put my message on the same plane as what the president has attempted to do here I think is not understanding what the message of the gospel is."
Leo: "The message of the church, the message of the gospel -- blessed are the peacemakers. I do not look at my role as being political. I don't want to get into a debate with him. I don't think the message of the gospel is meant to be abused in the way that some people are doing."
THE POPE RESPONDS TO TRUMP: "Blessed are the peacemakers… I don't think the message of the gospel is meant to be abused in the way some are doing it."
The guy Christian nationalists are using to impose a theocracy on 🇺🇸 is beefing with the carrier of the actual message of Jesus
The Pope claps back very papally…
I just listened to an extended NPR interview w an education economist about 40 yrs of rising college tuition & student debt, and not a single mention that 40 yrs ago was about the time all states cut higher education budgets, privatized tuition, in order to pay for tax cuts and prisons
Magyar’s speech is powered. From a contact in the audience: “He’s basically just asked all the puppets, all the supreme justices, all the heads of media, all the heads of the ministries to leave their jobs tomorrow and not wait to be fired.”
One of the ways news media often fail us is by giving us the microscopic rather than the telescopic view. Everything I mention in this essay is well-documented, but the dots are mostly not connected to make visible this death by a thousand cuts our country is undergoing.
Anyway, if you're still struggling with this I urge you to take a moment and try and see how you would feel if it were you. I, for one, would want to make sure those reporters gave a shit and did their due diligence.
Extremely good work was done today, and those women are brave as fuck. That's it.
It's about trust. Building trust, maintaining it. It's the only way we can do this job. If sources aren't ready to go on record, then that's that. You don't just dump that info into a rumor mill, lol. Any journalist worth their salt would sooner go to jail than break that confidentiality
If a reporter doesn't have the resources, patience, the PERMISSION (i.e.: a source willing to go on record), the legal backing, the whatever they need to tell the story right, with empathy for the survivors, and with enough details to nail that sucker to a wall, then they aren't going to pursue it
There's an important bit of journalism ethics here: do your best to minimize harm. This means taking a trauma-informed approach, not rushing the story and shoving survivors into the worst, period, hell, period before they're ready, and it means getting it right the FIRST time, not later
When you're taking on someone with that kind of pull and leverage, and you're asking these women to talk about their experiences on the record, you want to make sure that you're not dragging them needlessly into a punishing spotlight for nothing
That kind of work takes time and effort
Additionally, we're talking about extremely fucked behavior from a progressive candidate who apparently, now we are learning, had a reputation for being (and I'm putting this lightly) a fucking prick groomer of interns, and was powerful enough to ensure silence and/or complicity for years. YEARS.
1. It takes an army of folks to make sure that what they're getting down to is cold, hard facts. The evidence, to me, looks pretty unshakable.
2. It started with victims willing to go on record, who also needed to be willing to stick all the way thru the process, which is painful and repetitive
