What can you do? Vote! Vote for Democrats in every election.
No, you cannot stay home to protest not liking the Dem enough. Failing to vote Democrat helps the GOP keep power.
Don't compare the Democratic candidate to your ideal -- compare the Dem to their Republican opponent.

I've spent a lot time in combat/disaster zones. There's pockets of good here and there, but humanity is not as evolved as we pretend it is. Given the opportunity, most people will kill you for $1.
What is it about this pathetic manchild that makes so many people become their worst selves?

Thank you so much to @zackpolanski.bsky.social for inviting me onto his podcast. We talked about critical issues the media & political establishment is ignoring such as the extraordinarily dumb & dangerous UK defence deal with Peter Thiel’s Palantir

This person who successfully committed suicide (something which jails are supposed to protect against) was being held at a random Georgia jail through a contract with the U.S. Marshal Service, which let ICE use its network of contracts with local jails. This is not a big detention center.

So if you blocked Will Stancil in the past, it’s time to unblock him. He and his Honda have been relentless in trailing ICE around Minneapolis. He’s truly a mensch. 🥰
The ICE guy I was tailing decided to show me he knows where I live. You can’t really see in the video, but as he drove past my place he reached out the window and pointed at my apartment. Real tough guy

ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.”
it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.
