Encouraging kids to be their authentic selves is suicide prevention.

Conversion therapy is a death sentence.

It’s time we all get clear on that.

Given what is plain to see the video and accurately described in the article, “Senator Helps Officers" is an egregiously cowardly headling. https://mas.to/@gleick/116178407102807491

Something I do not think the fashy Trump-licking crowd understands is how •deeply• we here in Minneapolis and environs felt everything that’s happened.

The ICE invasion might have been a lot of things for the folks behind it: a strategic offensive, a gambit, a bender, a job, a joy ride. But I suspect that across all those cases, it was something they feel like they can walk away from whenever they decide to be done with it.

Not so for us neighbors. They have no idea how angry we are. They have no idea how long we’re going to stay angry. If you were a part of the ICE invasion, be warned: people will be out hunting for your head as long as you walk free on this earth.

It would be great if the Iranian people

I doubt the dreams and aspirantions of the Iranian people are on his mind.

By the way, here is a reminder of the coup that we supported in Iran in 1956.

So, the Epstein files are "start a war with Iran" bad
So here’s the thing about killing Khamenei — he’s just a fucking guy. Let’s reverse this. If Iran smoked Trump, would the racist, sexist, religious nuttery in the US end? Fuck no.
It got lost in the headlines (and rightly so) but Vance came to Wisconsin for an event, tried to make fun of our accent by saying "Wis-cahn-sin" and no one laughed or appreciated it and he looked like a fucking asshole. Again.
