Women's Sports, My terrible running journey, Our declining Empire, My own nerdery nonsense, Nerdfighter. USPS Postal Carrier, my opinions are my own.
I wish you would!

I already give locally to my food pantry and community aid organizations, but I'd fund a one time case of handwarmers to MSP! A Caribou Coffee to go canteen?
I heard folks are wondering about the shadowy cabal of billionaires who have been funding handwarmers in the Twin Cities.

Stay tuned, we have a new Twin Cities supplies wishlist dropping after dinner! Be the shadowy cabal you want to see in the world. 💓

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Remembering how cops tossed Kyle Rittenhouse - who was open carrying a semiautomatic rifle - a bottle of water and told him, “We appreciate you… we really do”

Memory is a fragile thing in this moment, so it is important to keep in mind that Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his caucus against ICE funding earlier this week.

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position,

Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

One thing we're NOT going to do is wallow in doom and hopelessness right when countless people are joining the fight against our enemies.

The situation is awful. That's why so many people are angry, and why they're mobilizing.

You can let the horrors overwhelm you, or you can let them fuel you.

Hope is not a feeling, it's a decision. "...to believe that, one, the world and those within it matter, and two, there is cause to believe that things can get better. For the world and those within it."

When you succumb to the cynicism, you are helping Trump. He wants you to think that all is lost, that he is all powerful, and that there is nothing we can do.

The fight for democracy is hard, but it is worth having. We have shown we can stand tall. We have shown we can win.
Many of you have become drama-addicted doomers, and you seem to think it's important for the rest of us to join you.

Yes, things are bad. But change is within our power. Grow up. Act like sober, responsible adults in a democracy instead of cynical, all-is-lost teenagers.

Now get off my lawn.

New video out showing Renee Good’s last words to the ICE officer “That’s fine dude, I’m not mad at you”.

Ice Agent after shooting her “Fucking bitch”.

YOU CANT REFORM THIS. ABOLISH ICE.

I don't think this is going to work

I don't think they're going to win the propaganda war over an ICE agent murdering a women in cold blood, because it's not possible to buy their lies if you aren't one of them

but what a bleak world we live in that this is a narrative struggle rather than justice

This is what is so fundamentally broken in some Americans.

They watch that video and think, he was in the right to shoot.

There is no middle ground for us to find with those people anymore. No compromise to be had.
Learning that this video is Ross' cell phone footage and was leaked to a right wing media outlet to prove his innocence, which is fucking bananas to me.

In the darkest corners of my mind I want to quit both my jobs and empty my bank accounts so I can go protest and cause havoc.

Tomorrow I will go to work like normal. But man the itch persists.
I can’t remember being angrier.
I'm just so angry. I've been angry all day

Hope is difficult to find and intangible. But hope is what we have and can work for.

AOC: What we saw today was a criminal murder a woman while she was trying to flee for her life. What we saw today was a manifestation of every American’s worst nightmare: their government turning into a tyranny.

This will sound like a joke, but it's not.

When TWO "Minnesota Nice" politicians drop the F-bomb in front of live cameras, we're at Defcon 1.
We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.

You do not need to watch the video to understand what happened here.

Plenty of trustworthy people are telling us what is revealed in those videos.

Witness matters, but there are many ways to witness.

This is the first full game I've been able to watch this season and Iowa is far more cohesive than I was expecting.

I know it's Drake, but blowing them out of the water like this? The 3s and the selfless passing. Going to be a fun season and fingers crossed everyone stays healthy.
End of the Third Quarter

#21 Iowa - 74
Drake - 38

This has been pretty impressive from Iowa.
