I've been hearing about whistles for months. They've been up for grabs at bookstores, bars, coffee shops. I know so many people who've taken bystander trainings starting as much as a year ago. The Cities were able to roll up their sleeves and jump to because we didn't wait for the crisis to start.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

I think maybe if we stopped saying “ICE” and started saying “Trump’s secret police force,” Democrats would see how absolutely absurd their response has been. It cannot be reformed. Abolish Trump’s secret police force. Abolish ICE.

Any politician whose response to their state being invaded by a federal force is "be peaceful and vote" better be ready to be voted out if elections ever happen again. People are out en masse to protect their families and neighbors. The Dems are catastrophically refusing to meet the moment.

We’ve seen this playbook before in Haiti, only we don’t have oil so there is never any talk of running the country after the US kidnaps a Haitian president.

It could’ve been such an impactful album. Imagine how “I protect the family” could’ve been taken if it was about defending queer+trans folk. Imagine how eldest daughter could’ve been about the weight of being a woman right now in this climate. Instead we got a sh*tty album with bad AAVE.

(NSFW) I found out my hidden album deleted all of my ~spicy~ pictures pre-this year so now I’m thinking about reaching out to my exes like “Look I know you still have the pics and I’m not mad. I just want you to send them to me for archival reasons to show how I wasted my hot years on y’all.”

📢 Vaccines DO NOT cause autism Love it when a writer breaks down data in a digestible, clear, and easy to understand way. And especially when the writer then obliterates junk-science writers still pushing dangerous myths. 🔥

Mamdani has a nearly 20 point lead over the rest of the field, but his poor showing with gay ultraorthodox baby boomers hints at political weakness.

This is a post about fat phobia 👀 Couple years ago, a (thin) friend found out she was pre-diabetic and came to me to ask for tips…because she assumed I was too, based on my weight 🙃 I cannot express the sheer joy I felt when I said “All I eat is vegetables b*tch. I’m not pre-diabetic.”

I hate how quick folks are to call things “distractions.” This is an intentional attack. The hit dog hollered and now here we are. We’ve got to stop calling everything “distractions” and instead recognize the weapons being used against us all while attempting to tear down a civil rights hero.
