As @skyeperryman.bsky.social says: We need to connect the dots. At the heart of the power grab in MN is a power grab to take our nation away from the people. Skye joined @theweekendmsnow.bsky.social to explain how the admin's strategy is headed straight for our elections.

And he didn’t. He tried to help a woman who’d just been assaulted. There was nothing rash, stupid, or radical about what he did. He showed kindness. And they killed him for it.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

“We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

I left teaching as soon as I started because the support for teachers was nonexistent, protection for LGBTQ+ teachers and students against bigoted communities was laughable, curriculum was NOT built with students’ actual learning in mind, and I made MORE money as a PART TIME barista. It’s bad!!

That’s exactly my concern. Yeah. There is no amount of respect we could possibly show that would stop them twisting it to make us look bad. Nevermind their constant salivating over their own violence against others. At best they sweep it under the rug. But this? They’re gonna call him a martyr.

Among the zillion other things, I will never ever forget when a Dem president tried to provide SOME relief for student loan debt, Repubs shat right on that. They ripped it from us for no fucking reason. That $20k relief could have meant a house someday. But no. The shareholder needs another yacht.

if you did not want me to give your child swords you should have simply not raised a child that loves swords. #fieldsofmistria
a four panel Fields of Mistria comic.
panel 1: Nora, an older woman in a distinguished blouse, taking a deep, tense breath with her palms together, fingers pointed up, in front of her face and eyes closed.
panel 2: a gormless-looking Mistria protagonist, with a pink sideshave and generic farmer outfit. From offscreen Nora says, "farmer. you have done so much for mistria. the town wouldn't be what it is today without your help."
panel 3: nora in the same pose, her hands lowered slightly, looking over her hands with a tense smile. "so when I say this, it is with great respect."
panel 4: nora gestures with her hands together at the farmer. "PLEASE STOP GIVING SWORDS TO MY SMALL CHILD." the farmer says "aw she loves them tho" while gesturing to Dell in the background, a young girl who is screaming with raw power while brandishing two swords with several more strapped to her body.

Called and left a voicemail for Stripe today telling them enforcing censorship through restricting payments is wrong and it was real easy.

You’ve undoubtedly seen the list of banned subjects itch has been forced to add by payment services, just like other storefronts. If you’re someone who thus far has thought “well, that’s just for gross porn, not stuff I like”, think again. These rules threaten Misericorde and other future work.
