I really wish that more of the response to the whole Greenland situation was "Greenland is already colonized and cannot gain anything from its colonial rule being switched from one malevolent racist nation to another."

Folks are about to learn a lot about the Eighth Circuit (the federal appeals court the jurisdiction of which includes Minnesota).

It has 11 active judges; 10 appointed by Republican presidents (including four by Trump). And the one senior judge still hearing cases is also a Republican appointee.

Men using gambling to bond isn’t at all going to be a problem…
Men are more likely than women to report feeling disconnected and not part of any community, and a quarter of young American men report feeling lonely.

Fantasy leagues, meanwhile, invite constant participation in group texts, watch parties and even punishments. https://wapo.st/45fSTeh

Love when we find out monsters have degrees from Christian colleges.
I am so disgusted to learn from the NY Times article today about Jonathan Ross that we were both students at Anderson University, a Christian college in Indiana, in 2006...

Even more bad library bills being proposed in state legislatures. Don't just read and understand what's at stake here–take action to help stop their progress.

Attempts to suppress LGBTQ+ books in libraries? They're not happening at the local level, folks.

“Caused” like it’s not ICE and Palantir’s absolute GOAL to terrorize without impunity however they see fit. They’re really building out that space within which they can normalize doing violence w/o having to be held accountable here. Embarrassing framing for Wired.

The most unserious, spiteful, pathetic group of people.
🚨NEWS: Senate Dems are reportedly offering ICE funding increases in exchange for body cams and de-escalation training for agents.

Body cams can be turned off. De-escalation training can be ignored.

Unclear if no masks, requiring ID badges, and no immunity is on the table.

The scale and speed of state censorship of campus really is amazing.
More than half of America's college students attend institutions in states that have passed laws censoring higher education since 2021.

Anyone who claims to be outraged by what’s happening needs to have a very long conversation w themselves about their commitments. Lesser evil logics are, obviously, pathways to fascism. Gavin (& Kamala) are lesser evils who will side w fascists if their econ interests align (which they always do).
Californians are NOT going to vote for Gavin Newsom. They're telling you now, with YEARS to go before the election. Fair warning. Please support better candidates, there will be many to choose from.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.

And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”

Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.
