MN has shut down SNAP payments and they won’t come back until federal govt reopens.

This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇

Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it.

Elaborating b/c there's a lot of misunderstanding on this.

Insurrection Act does nothing except you can then use soldiers as cops. They can enforce laws, but they're the same old laws. It doesn't suspend the Constitution. No martial law, no closing courts, no removing state officials, none of that.
Even if he did, which I'd bet is likelier than not, none of this is true. The Insurrection Act is not a declaration of martial law. It doesn't close the courts. It doesn't suspend habeas corpus. It means you can use the military to enforce federal laws, but the laws themselves remain the same.
Trump: "I'm allowed as you know as president, like 50% of the presidents have used the Insurrection Act. Everybody agrees you're allowed to use that and there is no more court cases, there is no more anything. We're trying to do it in a nicer manner, but we can always use the Insurrection Act."

Don’t just need to denazify the federal government but large swaths of the private and public sectors.

seems that RFK is clearing the path for his CDC to do tuskegee syphillis experiments as a matter of course. in other news, RFK is a genuine monster who relishes in the pain and suffering of those he feels he has control or dominion over
RFK is undoing human subjects protections so he can conduct placebo trials of vaccines. That means infecting people knowingly. I wonder who will “volunteer” for these trials? If history is any guide, a lot of incarcerated and other powerless people.
Dismantling the Institutional Review Board (IRB), that oversees all human subjects research, is bad. Really bad.

Japanese fans making guides on how you can make a male character wear feminine clothes that alter their silhouette and make them look like a girl. literally trans girl fashion advice stuff. and all for the sake of yuri (your rival is opposite sex, so this way you can be a girl with a girl rival)

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

I've mentioned this before but it bears repeating. Don't leave FSA funds on the table at the end of the year. LOTS of places like homeless shelters etc... would love donations of FSA eligible items. For the past 2 years, I've used left over funds to shop here: fsastore.com - then donate the items.

You can tell I had plane ’tism as a kid because what I found most offensive about the poop bomber was how it was almost but not quite a F/A-18 which led to a real uncanny valley moment.

what trump brought to the republican party, more than maybe any other thing, was contempt for virtue, and he’s demanded that republicans abandon any virtue they might have once had.
It is not so long ago that disability policy was bipartisan. I taught at the Bush School, and George H.W. Bush would talk about his pride in signing the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Every once in a while during the 2024 campaign, I'd meet parents of disabled kids who were part of Moms for Liberty or people who taught autistic kids. @slooterman.bsky.social writes how they are afraid right now as Trump targets special education staff.

Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed.

I'm going to identify and thread at least a few that Becka scrubbed:

July 30, 2025: Becka seemingly suggests that Aisha Chughtai wins elections because she's a "nice young, you know, ethnic woman"
The context is Becka is talking about the DSA infiltration of the Minneapolis DFL, claiming Council Vice-President Aisha Chughtai portrayed herself as a moderate to win office.

"Because people would rank her second or third 'cause they're like 'The nice young—you know—ethnic woman.'"

Disgusting.

After a few days offline, Becka Thompson's TikTok account is back. I never bothered to make a spreadsheet of all her bullshit, but she definitely deleted some of her worst videos.

I wrote something a while ago about how well the prequels work as a stupid explanation for Trump I -- yeah, the world is that dumb! -- and "somehow, Palpatine returned" is the reality we live in for Trump II
