it’s really frustrating to sit down and write a detailed thing like this, get 1,500 likes and not have @bencollins.bsky.social respond. not even like a “thanks for saying something, i’ll talk to the team.” having to do this labor is shitty. having to beg for basic respect is embarrassing.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

I feel dumb even just having to say this but the reason passports are mailed out in plain regular envelopes is that so that people do not attempt to steal easily recognizable passports in the mail. bsky.app/profile/carn...

Absolutely disqualifying lack of judgement here while under legal suit. I just can’t get over what a gift this is to any plaintiffs counsel to have a defendant go live like this.

I’ve read the whole complaint. Now listen, there are definitely some Madel specials in there, but I don’t see how anyone gets past the limited receipts in the complaint itself that Her definitely sexually harassed these people.

The time is nearly perfect for a movie about the famously chaotic and dramatic 1976 production of Star Wars, starring Ewan McGregor as Alec Guinness and Hayden Christiansen as David Prowse.

This is happening to my clients. Makes it impossible for me to know if they're still in Minnesota or even in America. ICE can shuttle them around without my knowledge and, unless they get word to me, I have no way to access them as counsel

We *NEED* Kieth as AG. What we are able to fight coming down from the Feds, the amount that Minnesota can remain true to the rule of law depends on us not electing an AG who wrote fantasies about killing people over COVID precautions.

This. Several rural DFLers voted against marriage equality a little over a decade ago in Minnesota and it was still a prime campaign point against them (and they lost). Just vote for what’s right. People deserve rights. They’ll campaign against you either way.

In addition to performing in pornography, I am an activist who went to law school and wrote a book. Am I completely unviewable bc SOME of my work is for adults only?
