I have been busily pursuing a variety of hilariously large projects. The most recent (and smallest) was cataloging 100 years of musical theater. I now know 1402 unique musicals were produced on Broadway during that time, and the midpoint is the 1960-1961 season.

please remember that no matter how many “ICE is losing in MN” articles you read today, there is still a very real, urgent, ongoing crisis in Minnesota. people need food and they need rent money. that has not changed.

To be clear, the demand is: Get out of Minneapolis Do not go anywhere else Disband them Prosecute all the crimes And most importantly GIVE US BACK OUR NEIGHBORS

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

An appropriate reaction to the federal government attacking a WHOLE STATE -- murdering, disappearing, brutalizing, kidnapping our neighbors isn't to just haggle over the funding for one agency. It's to stop all business as usual until this ends.

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's 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.

The path for Democrats is very clear: have good ideas, believe in them, state them clearly, stick to them, act decisively in support of these ideas, speak to the young half of the electorate, support other democrats who do these things. Follow Mamdani and Lander's example or fade into nothingness.

I don’t know, peeps, but I just keep coming back around to the idea that what so many people want is a hopeful vision of a better world, with autonomy, dignity, & respect for all, affordability of food/shelter, education, medical care, clean air/water, & a place in a community. That’s the message.

it is beyond time to see your own complicity in the present moment: when you only mask at protests & never even consider doing so in the grocery store, pharmacy, on public transit, you contribute to a social climate able to criminalize protective tools. CHOOSE SOLIDARITY, prevent infection, mask up.

Yes, I’ve seen the #TheWheelOfTime news and it’s depressing as hell thinking about not seeing the rest of Rafe’s vision of the show. It will sit in my heart next to the sorrow of never getting to see the end of RJ’s vision of the books.

Plantations are mass graves and memorials to atrocities. They should be treated like concentration camps, because that's exactly what they are. They should be treated as such, not used as wedding venues or party sites.

Like, so many people are talking about the loss of a business with genuine grief (and making videos about it!) and not once engaging with how plantations were built and what they actually represent in American history. It's wild to do that with your whole name and face attached.

But we on the left still succumb to carceral thinking. We think that people can simply avoid the legal system with good decision making. But that's like saying if you eat right and exercise, you won't need healthcare. That's not how it works. Shit happens.

No, The Wheel of Time show isn't going to be powered by AI
