Professional grade bubble letters. Extremely buying. Very cash.
Okay, so I was at this table with my friend the bubble letterer, who wrote “Free” in their PROFESSIONAL-grade bubble letters. It made someone big mad. So bubble person and I made some #popupleftistsupplydepot merch. Proceeds to MIRAC MN. Popupsupplies.printful.me

Ah, the "states rights" party in action again, I see.
Bondi’s letter represents a major assault on Minnesota’s sovereignty, demanding that it forfeit its ability to make and enforce its own laws and maintain its voter rolls without oversight from the executive branch, which does not have authority over elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
AG Bondi demands access to Minnesota voter rolls after fatal Border Patrol shooting
Her demand came as Minneapolis was reeling from a second fatal shooting by a federal agent this month.

This is one of the biggest stories in America, comparable in scale to what’s happening in Minnesota. The largest social media platform is transferred to Trump’s allies and immediately forbids you from saying anything bad about him. Absolutely totalitarian in nature. No different than China.

part of this is like, conservatives projecting; part of this is conservatives unable to imagine politics without money; and part of this is dudes who are so out of touch with feminized labor that they think children's birthday parties exist as a spontaneous act of parthogenesis
I mostly just stay off Twitter altogether but after double checking that the Walter Hudson post was still up I ran across this and just had to share so the Romancelandians who bought hand warmers could hear about the PROFESSIONAL GRADE LOGISTICS.

Almost every time I volunteer to do the actual work with some group - from phonebanking to door knocking to folding zines or whatever - the crowd is anywhere from 70 to 90 percent femme. Also, primarily OLDER people.
Older ladies actually make shit happen.

Anyone have that meme with the two journalists where it’s like
1: “It seems I have to apologize for being wrong about this”
2: “Yes, but in doing so, you are more right than ever”
1: “Of course you are correct, thank you”

What is happening? lol. I did not expect this from a company that charges $100 for a bicycle for a doll.
To my understanding, the Courtney books from 1986 have her actually threatening to throw hands with another fifth grader because one of her best friends is HIV+ and the bully was doing the "eeeew you'll catch it by hugging him gross what a freak!" thing. These girls distinctly do not fuck around lol

I get that this is all just performance trolling for these guys, but it's still worth noting that what they perceive as their best tactic has shifted from confident "We are alpha dogs here to cleanse the degenerates" to brittle "ooooh im a tiny widdle baby im so scaaaaared."

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

It's obviously good that citizens with smartphones can create multiple records of these shootings and undercut propaganda and government lies about them. But I find it a little deranging that being an informed news consumer in 2026 requires watching what are essentially snuff videos in slow-mo.
