Using Temu as an adjective is one gift from 2025 that I am carrying into the new year

Your Facebook/Cable News addict friends will believe there's been a meaningful shift in the Tone or whatever in Minneapolis because that's what the man behind the podium said and all the journalists repeated it. Actual people on the ground notice nothing has changed because nothing has.
Trump's core audience is people who don't leave their houses, either because they have no interests or they're terrified of the outside world. Say something on TV and it's effectively Real to them. Democrats can't replicate that speaking to an audience of people whose lives involve the real world.

This sounds eerily similar to the offer in the "fork in the road" email that DOGE sent to federal employees last year.
this email offers no details about what the actual offer is and you have to opt in before you find out lol
Below is the buyout offer all CBS Evening News staff received today.
"We hope you are excited about this vision, but we understand that some of you may not be, and we want to provide support. As such, we are offering an extraordinary chance to leave CBS News with an enhanced separation payment."

Fun fact: Walz wrote his masters thesis on Holocaust education.
Jew in Amsterdam here. Please use Anne Frank as a comparison point to explain how state persecution of scapegoats impacts children, that is the point of her example, thanks
The Minnesota governor is getting widespread criticism for comparing children dealing with immigration enforcement to Holocaust victim Anne Frank.

Others have pointed out that this girl died during the Biden administration. Shameful to use a photo of a child, and misrepresent her story!, to pretend that he is fighting for reform.
Anadith Danay Reyes Álvarez died in government custody.
She had sickle cell and congenital heart disease but couldn’t access timely and adequate medical care.
We need to reform immigration detention.

Not to mention, the Holocaust also targeted people for being disabled.
Nothing says, "I care so much about protecting the sanctity of Holocaust memory" like bringing back widely-condemned offensive terms for disabled individuals.

IDK why right-wingers keep bringing up Obama's record deportations, it just shows that if you wanted to have a conservative immigration policy without partisan militias occupying cities and gunning people down in the streets you could do it and a lot of americans would be fine with it

To avoid the possibility Holocaust remembrance might lead to empathy for migrants, Trump's antisemitism envoy claims Anne Frank "was in Amsterdam legally."
In reality, Margot Frank received a summons to go to a labor camp on July 5, 1942. After ignoring this call, they were in Amsterdam illegally.

this is a fake problem. no one is saying this to regular, offline people who are coming around. they’re saying it to people who are engaged in professional political analysis who committed professional malpractice by scolding people who saw what was coming.
no, those people shouldn’t get a break.

Bluesky idea: if people who didn't agree with you change their opinions so that they do agree with you, why not be happy that you are making progress - rather than complaining that they are "only just catching up"?

I think @sarahjeong.bsky.social said it's because they devalue women's labor and a LOT of this Scary Logistics stuff comes from people who don't understand that basically all of the civic life they enjoy is created with the help of free labor, largely by women.
Tho I will say, in his defense, he's not the first person to be confused by how quickly the romance authors & readers can whip up finely tuned logistics out of nothing. 😂
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.

Friends don't let friends follow AltNPS
Completely insane. AltNPS claimed to know the name of Alex Pretti's killer, refused to say it because "the truth always comes out," and then just deleted the post.
A man was executed on the street in my hometown, and AltNPS is using that as an excuse to vaguepost for attention.

Absolutely right. There have been protests, but the vast majority of people’s activity here in MN is better described by one of Ian’s terms. ⬇️
And that work is vast, ongoing, every day, by a truly amazing amount of people.

Protests happen, but most of what is happening in Minneapolis isn’t protesting.
More accurate terms:
- observers
- witnesses
- volunteers

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

A federal judge effectively ordered the U.S. government not to cover up evidence that it illegally executed a civilian, at the request of local prosecutors seeking to investigate federal agents for murder.
Don’t want to overstate things but it feels reminiscent of the run-up to the Civil War.

Understand that 370 days ago even bringing a motion like this would probably have been treated as sanctionably frivolous

People did similar coverage for Renee Good and I do absolutely believe that it makes a difference. It reaches a lot of low-info voters who don’t consume much political media, and it isn’t framed as political news coverage. it’s framed, correctly, as coverage of an innocent person’s murder
This is the kind of write up we see for victims of airline crashes or other high profile deaths.
