- sure the us is sliding into authoritarianism but on the other hand, south korea is completely paralyzed by dubai chocolate fever. in a couple of weeks they went from dubai chocolate chewy cookie to dubai chocolate raw amberjack fish to dubai chocolate grilled short ribs
- Abolish ICE is too confusing. What we meant to say is that "no masks should be deployed in an arbitrary and capricious fashion."

- I got my first whistle last weekend and it was a very intense moment, putting it around my neck and thinking about how to use it responsibly to protect my neighborhood. That happened because of the organizing that has already been done in MN, Chicago, and LA.

- That's weird because I see today's writers as pretty obsessed with making craft rules & gatekeeping them. There's practically more writing on writing than actual writing nowadays.
- finally, the ICE reform we’ve been waiting for: no masks unless you really want to wear them

- At work event last night I was introduced to this famous climate activist. "Oh!" I said. "I have some friends who have been arrested with you over the years!" He gave me a funny look and moved on. After I got home I realized the actual climate activist's last name is slightly different.
- This is how Sen. Ron Wyden clues the public into activity that he finds extremely alarming. He does a press release about a letter he sent to the director of the CIA that basically says, 'I want to make sure you saw the classified letter I sent early today.' www.wyden.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

- Everybody has it backwards. Billionaires aren’t buying up these institutions to make money. They’re buying them to kill them. Same as the oligarchs destroying government and social programs and things like weather forecasting and regulatory bodies. They’re creating a world they control completely

- The Illinois Department of Public Health sidestepped the federal government this week by independently joining the WHO’s Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN). It is the second state to do so, after California joined the network last month. trib.al/0ecIsxF
- I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
- “If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
- People are, in general, as a whole, much braver and more honorable than the discourse gives them credit for. Also I hope Tom Emmer read this article and shit himself.
- A Ron Wyden specialty: sending a letter in public that reveals he's seen some really bad classified shit that he wants an explanation for.

- I've reread this like 3 times. Freed herself from slavery by running away, *went back a week later bc the slaver was talking shit, set his house on fire, and then escaped again is absolutely incredible queen shit
- You don't have to believe that the fascists are competent enough to suppress voting everywhere in 2026 or 2028. You just have to believe that they can depress minority turnout in 5-10 cities to affect entire Senate races & the Electoral College. 2024 was decided by 120K votes in 3 states, after all.
