-5°F in Minneapolis tonight.

At the site where feds killed Alex Pretti, the air still smells faintly of tear gas. Hundreds of people still here behind some impromptu barricades.

Message spray painted on the road reads, "fuck ICE, love always wins."

Rubio spent a life in politics trying to get at the big kids table by talking tough about Russia and democracy, then chose to implement an autocratic Kremlin playbook so he could fly around on a nice plane and have people be nice to him. Perhaps even more shameful than Trump and Vance.

Medicaid is not for sale.

The Post Office is not for sale.
America is not for sale.

There’s a Turkish phrase about the upside of hitting rock bottom being that things can’t get any worse. It goes göte giren şemsiye açılmaz and it means “an umbrella up one’s ass cannot be opened”

Needs to be so SO much more of this kind of writing, depicting how we, the working class, use humour to process grief and square-peggary 🙌🏽http://www.rollingstone.co.uk/tv/jack-rooke-big-boys-season-3-channel-4-interview-47434/
‘Big Boys’ creator Jack Rooke: ‘A lot of comedy writers talk to me through gritted teeth’
As the beloved BAFTA-winning sitcom’s emotional third and final season airs on Channel 4, Rooke discusses mixing high and low culture, his next projects and being darkly funny about grief.

We can combine to oppose this. Milton was way ahead of us on the duality of man that Trump is on the wrong side of: “But lest his heart exalt him in [having] dispeopled Heav’n…I can repair / That detriment…and in a moment will create…out of one man a race / Of men innumerable” (7.150-56) #FightBack
