Minneapolis-based necromancy enthusiast. No longer allergic to cats. I like Paradise Lost and watching people play Magic: The Gathering. Big fan of open borders and trans rights. I will deny onions to the Austrians (those dogs!). Gefeolað we!

also, this isn’t really a left-center thing. as you can hear, the guys who are complaining about “agitators” immediately turn around and invite me to a socialist meeting. left and liberals can both agree that violence and chaos doesn’t help

Never thought I'd be upset at having the motivation to go take spontaneous little walks.

The reactionary centrist provides two essential services to the authoritarian right. They equivocate the differences between the left and right w/r/t lying, threats to democracy, etc. But also (and I did not understand this when I was younger), they defame liberalism by claiming it.

Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.
The intense fallout from the killing of Alex Pretti has forced President Trump to publicly change course in Minneapolis.
Listen to our White House reporters discuss the changes on today's episode of "The Daily."

Thinking about this quote from my hero today. May it spread to the whole country.
“I believe all Southern liberals come from the same starting point—race. Once you figure out they are lying to you about race, you start to question everything.”

cw: ICE abuses
I really like the song Come Out Ye Black and Tans and I really hate ICE. So, to the tune of (and with many lyrics lifted from) Come Out Ye Black And Tans, a thread...

Not sure whether it makes more sense to get teargassed right before or right after my workout. Have tried it both ways at this point and I'm not sure I noticed a difference. There are some many variables in hypertrophy and I have to always remind myself that most of them have a very small effect.

Which IDEs am I familiar with? Visual Studio, most Jetbrains products, and of course my favorite IDE: ICE Delenda Est.

Democratic leadership is terrified of being seen on the side of the people of Minneapolis, least they lose the potential future support of pro-cop people whose support they do not and never will have.
I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

"I don't know what the residents of Minneapolis should be doing instead, but I do know that by not using violence they're morally equivalent to German civilians during the Shoah" is something said by someone whose frustration at the horrors we're witnessing has temporarily overridden their reason.

Youtube's algorithm just recommended that I watch the last five minutes of a Dutch scientist's PhD thesis defense. All the science bits were over, so all I learned is that she named one of the GPUs in her lab after a Ukrainian fighter jet. So, uh, Slava Ukraini!

What you have to understand about white supremacists in the United States specifically is that all of them have had vivid fantasies about having sex with horses. The JD Vance couch thing was a misdirect.

By refusing to coordinate with local law enforcement, ICE is not making our community safe. It is making it less safe.

Watching Caleb Hearon and Ziwe talk to each other I am worried that that amount of concentrated charisma in the same room will cause some sort of atomic reaction. Perhaps they should be forced to do video calls instead for everyone's safety.
