Thinking about the family of Representative Melissa Hortman & her husband who were assassinated at the hands of a radical MAGA shooter in June. Melissa was doing such important work for the state of Minnesota & this country-we grieve her loss & demand strict gun reform legislation.

For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country… Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year. And America shrugged and moved on.

When people argue that trans people refusing to support transphobic Democrats is some kind of stubborn ideological purity, what they're saying is that trans people aren't entitled to any boundaries, standards, or dignity. That we're supposed to tolerate whatever we're given.

James Dobson was a crazy pastor/eugenicist who pushed conversion therapy and sympathized w/ Ted Bundy. He’s best known for spreading the gospel of child abuse and instructed his parishioners to beat the shit out of their children - which they did. A unique evil in a sea of hate. Burn in hell, bitch.

Criminalization as we know it originated primarily from fears of social disorder filtered through race, gender, class, etc.—not the need to prevent physical violence. Most crimes “on the books” have nothing to do w/physical violence. So when ppl want to go *beyond* the books, holy shit be worried.

A New Zealand woman who works in Washington state and her six-year-old son have been abducted by ICE at the Canadian border, trafficked to Texas, and imprisoned for three weeks in abhorrent conditions. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
A New Zealand woman who is being held at a US immigration centre with her six-year-old son after they were detained crossing the Canada-US border, is being wrongly “treated like a criminal”, according to her friend and advocate.

Sarah Shaw, 33, a New Zealander who has lived in Washington state for just over three years, dropped her two eldest children to Vancouver airport on 24 July, so they could take a direct flight back to New Zealand for a holiday with their grandparents.

When Shaw attempted to re-enter the US, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) detained her and her youngest son, in what was a “terrifying” ordeal, said Victoria Besancon, Shaw’s friend who is helping to raise money for her legal fight.

“Sarah thought she was being kidnapped,” she said. “They didn’t really explain anything to her at first, they just kind of quietly took her and her son and immediately put them in like an unmarked white van.”

Ice confiscated Shaw’s phone and transported the mother and son to the Dilley immigration processing center in south Texas, many states away from her home, Besancon said. Foreign nationals caught up in the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown have similarly been transported to centres far from their homes, support networks and legal representation.

I don’t think people fully grasp the implications of the Planned Parenthood Medicaid ban in the Trump bill. Not being able to take Medicaid would be a near-fatal blow to PP. Clinics are already closing in across the country—including in blue states—which is curtailing abortions access nationwide.

I see grocery/takeout shaming discourse going around again, so this is your periodic historian reminder that cooking from scratch daily while working has never been sustainable, and for millennia everyone either relied on takeout & restaurants or ate in huge households w/ big dorm-like group dining.
