I know that some people don't think these types of things are important but I really do. Cultural change precedes political change. When you don't have the culture, it's more difficult to win politically or to sustain political wins. newrepublic.com/post/215697/...

I have a heavy fundraising lift. I am trying to raise $40,000 for REBUILD to help keep it going: www.mightycause.com/story/Rebuil... There's so much to say about the people who are being supported through this program. I co-founded it and am an advisor. I believe in this work.

Fellow Texans: verify that your voter registration hasn't been suspended without your knowledge. I just double-checked mine following a link in the article; it took all of 1 minute. Make sure your voice can be heard in November.

did bluesky hear about Miss Teen Indiana’s Garfield costume
A young woman in a Garfield inspired outfit with a Garfield headdressThe young woman from the first photo is holding a lasagna that says “lasagna my love language”missinteenusa Tonight, Indiana is going Garfield!
My state costume celebrates one of Indiana's most iconic creations-Garfield, created by fellow Hoosier Jim Davis.
Born in Marion and raised in Fairmount, Davis turned an orange cat with a big personality into a character recognized and loved around the world.
But this costume represents more than a famous Hoosier.
The hand-painted comic panels on my skirt share messages inspired by my initiative, Captivating Confidence:
"Our differences are what make us beautiful."
"If we don't have love, we have nothing."
"Outer beauty attracts, but inner beauty captivates."
To me, true confidence is found in embracing what makes each of us different and recognizing that our greatest beauty comes from within. I am so excited to bring a little Hoosier humor, creativity and confidence to the Miss Teen USA stage tonight!
This one-of-a-kind costume was inspired by my vision and brought to life by Indianapolis-based costume designer, Jess West. @jesswestcostumes

One more thing: everyone I know here in Minnesota talks about our politicians using first names. “Tina’s retiring and Amy’s running for Tim’s job. So Angie and Peggy are running for Tina’s seat but would Tim (or Amy?) appoint them to Amy’s vacant seat or would Baron get the job?”
Shirtless, bald, fierce. That’s our Baron Von Raschke.

If these numbers hold, I think a big lesson to be learned from the Democratic Senate primary is how you need to have respect for the process. The grassroots of the party are the people who go out and do the work to win elections, and treating them with contempt is playing with fire.

When someone who consistently does and says terrible things dies, it's helpful. It means that they can no longer do and say terrible things. It's a form of cleansing the world. That's a positive thing.

the best chance the Prairieland anti-ICE protesters have is that we keep their names and their case on our lips as we eventually move to a post-Trump era, that we fight for their pardon as an essential part of departing from fascism.

NEW — Belfast-based writer @hleehurley.com talks about the racist pogroms that have terrorized his city, how existing tensions in Northern Ireland (and *not* Elon Musk) primed local factions to turn violent, and how Minnesota’s response to ICE inspired their community to care for one another:
thehandbasket.co
Elon Musk alone isn’t responsible for Belfast's racist pogrom
The violent response to an attempted murder would have happened regardless of Musk, Lee Hurley writes.

Here are some helpful reminders of how to lock down your phones and who to call if you need legal support. Remember, we’re together and we’re brave!
SIGNAL SECURITY
CHECKLIST
BASICS:
• Don't send anything you don't want read back to you in court.
• Have in-person conversations as often as reasonable.
• If you're in a group chat with people you don't know well, assume it is not secure.
• If a group member is arrested or their phone is confiscated, notify an admin immediately so they can be removed from chats.
• Delete sensitive messages for everybody-this must be done within 24 hours. After that, messages can only be deleted for you, not for others.
SETTINGS:
ACCOUNTS
• Registration lock: ON
• CHATS
• Generate link previews: OFF
• Share contacts with OS: OFF
PRIVACY
• Phone number: Who can see my number: NOBODY
• Set a username for yourself in Settings to make yourself searchable with more privacy 
• Disappearing messages: set a default time period
• Hide screen in App Switcher: ON
• Screen lock: ON
NOTIFICATIONS
• Show: no name or content (super important!)
• Screen lock timeout: SHORT
• Biometrics: DISABLED (especially during high-risk activity)
KEYBOARD
• Incognito keyboard: ON (Android only)
• Advanced: Always relay calls: ON
• PHONE (OS-LEVEL)
Passcode: 6-digit minimum (stronger preferred)
IMPORTANT REMINDER
• Disable cloud backups if possible
• Deleting messages reduces risk - it does NOT guarantee deletion if:
• Someone screenshots
• A device is seized before deletion
Signal is a TOOL, not a shield.
• Messages are backed up elsewhere BE PREPARED

Observing ICE activity is not a crime. This is another attempt from Trump’s authoritarian regime to try and suppress free speech and dissent. But we will never stop exercising our constitutional right to legally observe the federal government’s illegal activities.

As the government raids “antifa groups” in Minneapolis with the SAME charges levied against myself and the rest of the Broadview Six, we need to be asking how they got this indictment. And as charges (hopefully) get dropped, we must remember the process is the punishment.
