The ironic thing, of course, is that "Woke 1" was the exact opposite of the Witch Trials. There were no actual witches. That's why the Witch Trials were bad.

Just bumping into this again with people _reflexively_ using the word "grape" or a 🍇 emoji and not even realizing they're doing it. It's all part of the same system, where the men running these companies make platforms that don't even let people accurately describe the crimes that they enable.

Wow, @startribune.com. This is absolutely irresponsible and needs an immediate retraction. Refuting your own headline right in the story.
Police: Shooting at Eden Prairie homecoming game was gang-related
Police did not specifically say that Somali gangs were involved, but Rep. Tom Emmer and others posted on social media calling the incident a “Somali gang crime.” This summer, Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher issued a public warning of what he described as a surge of violence involving Somali gangs.

As long as he’s aiming his invective at concepts associated with Black people he’s perfectly fine, once he strayed from anti-Black racism the mainstream press began to notice his bigotry.

Lanterns got me hungry to read Green Lantern for the first time in a while. I’ve been reading the Jeremy Adams run and just loving it. Big cosmic moments with grounded character ones as well. Glad I didn’t miss out this run.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a high school basketball game. The home team is down 9 points, and some players are looking discouraged on the bench. The coach points to a player just out of frame and says, “flippers, you’re in!” Panel 2: the away team attempts a deep 2-point shot, possibly to beat the buzzer, which is blocked by Flippers, a whale who doesn’t even have his arms up. Panel 3: the game ends and the home team excitedly crowd around Flippers, who won them the game. A player from the away team looks stunned, with his hands on his head.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

A recent Star Tribune article found that 14 Minnesota CEOs took home more than $10 million, with one making more than $200 million. This is exactly why we need to tax the rich.

This is the jacket I was wearing at the BroTex raid last fall. Federal paramilitaries kidnapped people from work; teargassed me, @naomikritzer.bsky.social, and everyone there; and a masked man slowly and deliberately hit me with the car he was driving. I mended the tear in MN flag colors. #FuckICE
Closeup of a brown canvas jacket. It had a long vertical tear in it. The tear has been mended in light blue, dark blue, and white, the colors of the Minnesota State Flag. A white star is sewn near the top of the tear.

Lethal injection as a "humane" way of killing someone has always been about the people watching, never about the human experiencing death at the hands of the State.

This choice will take jobs from existing cab/rideshare drivers and I am very concerned about winter driving and ice as a public danger. I cannot believe the mayor is framing this as “open for business.” People will be hurt—whether through a skidding car or by losing wages.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

also, doing that work is fucking hard. My body is irreparably damaged. I suffer from mild to severe chronic pain problems because of it. There are few safety nets for manual labourers, and if we want more of them how do we change the environment for workers so many deem as less than?

ask yourself how many times you see people write long threads about how annoying it is to have a man working in their apartment building, who never wonder how hard it is to wake up at 5, work for 12 hours, and come home to read people talking down to you about your place in the world.

talked about this before and again, i'm speaking as a third generation journeyman trades worker, but working in trades is not something that any of the people who write these pieces, or honestly most of you, respect at all. It's perceived as something you do when all the "good" options are gone.

President Trump's demands for Fox propaganda are getting even more bizarre and extreme.
Why does FoxNews always put Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, Jessica Tarlov, and every Democrat on, saying bad things about the Republican Party and, of course, me? I actually think they get more airtime than Pro Republicans. This is why MAGA, and REAL Patriots, will never like Fox! They repeat a completely negative narrative, on and on it goes, and then we get a quick retort. It’s truly amazing that I won all three Elections. The opposition is enormous, but the fight goes on! President DONALD J. TRUMPSchumer does not appear in Media Matters’ database of Fox News weekday appearances, which dates to August 2017. 
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) has made at least 5 appearances on Fox weekday shows since November 2018, with the most recent airing in January of this year.
Fox’s Jessica Tarlov is the Democratic host tasked with matching up against four conservatives at once on the network’s weekday panel show, The Five. She made 2 guest appearances on other Fox shows in September; conservative co-hosts Jesse Watters, Greg Gutfeld, and Dana Perino all have separate weekday Fox shows of their own. 
In September, weekday appearances on Fox News by congressional Republicans and Trump administration officials outnumbered appearances by congressional Democratic guest appearances by 148 to 7.
