He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

- Reposted by Misty GedlinskeThey’re screaming “fuck ice” at wrestling matches and Chuck Schumer managed to use this leverage to negotiate against himself until the demand is “ here’s a bunch more money, can you guys please promise to not wear masks unless you really need to?”
- If we absolutely *must* have oligarchs and robber barons, can we at least restart the practice of having them fund libraries, museums, concert halls, parks, and major infrastructure projects as a peace offering to keep the working class from staging an uprising?
- Only in fiction are sexually-based offenses considered especially heinous.
- Don’t confuse a publicity stunt with systemic change. Moreover, ICE must be abolished and all its crimes fully prosecuted.
- It feels ominously relevant to mention that Anne Frank died from typhus at Bergen-Belsen, and not in the gas chambers.
- So which ground-dwelling rodent determines how long we have to wait until Trump expires? That’s the only prediction I want to hear.
- Reposted by Misty GedlinskeOnce again here to tap the mic and say Texas is a gerrymandered, voter repressed state, not a "red" state. And every one of you celebrating the (significant) win in Tarrant County better not be the same people in my mentions saying to throw the whole South away. There are good people fighting.
- Matthew 19:14 “Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.’” John 11:35 “Jesus wept.” I’ve seen judges quote Scripture many times. I have never read so much righteous rage in a court filing as I just witnessed here.
- Nothing like having the local weirdo, who likes to stomp around town with an AR-15 and a burning Pride flag, show up at your kid’s school to scream about deporting the “illegals” whom he solely blames for his property taxes going up. Welcome to “Jackass,” a/k/a Glenn Grothman’s voting district.
- I admit I was previously unfamiliar with Minnesota’s level of game.
- Offspring and I had a musical cultural exchange on the way home from school today. She let me listen to a Spanish techno song (that still somehow had a mandolin involved? And it worked surprisingly well!) and I introduced her to Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth.”
- Nobody: No one: Not a single, solitary soul: Me: "Yeah, so I've been really thinking about writing a piece comparing and contrasting Lurleen Wallace and Usha Vance to showcase why the wives of horrifically bigoted elected leaders are both targets for, as well as complicit in their husbands' harms.
- Reposted by Misty GedlinskeThe immanent contradiction of dominance masculinity is that it both claims absolute authority and strength and also cannot countenance even the slightest challenge.
- Reposted by Misty GedlinskeMore than a week before his crucifixion by Roman law enforcement, Jesus of Nazareth infuriated other authorities as he overturned vendor tables at the temple farmers market and cursed at an innocent fig tree causing it to wither, according to newly unearthed videos. Watch here.
- I'm old enough to remember when SCOTUS ruled in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen that carrying a firearm in public for ordinary self-defense purposes was a constitutionally protected right. These comments would be instant political suicide for any other U.S. elected official.

- Reposted by Misty GedlinskeThe majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.
- MAGA folk insist on the “paid protestor” myth because they do not understand caring about anything that doesn’t immediately benefit them, or anyone they don’t see as belonging to them. When your worldview is centered on ownership and dominance, empathy is anathema and community is impossible.
- "We must love one another or die."
- " I feel afraid. Only hours have passed since they shot a man right in front me and I don't feel like I can go home because I heard agents were looking for me. I don't know what the agents will do when they find me. I do know that they're not telling the truth about what happened."
- The man on the left is holding a camera, not a gun. Even if this man was armed, Minnesota is a permitted open carry state. The mere possession of a gun is not inherently a crime. If possession of a gun is now probable cause to kill you, then you no longer have a right to bear arms.

- Good morning from Wisconsin, where it is currently 16 degrees warmer inside my freezer than it is outside my front door.
- Reposted by Misty GedlinskeIt seems to me Congress should hold off on funding elaborate conspiracies to violate the Constitution.
- The Fourth Amendment could not be reached for comment.
