Something clicked for me today: a bunch of right-wingers genuinely think it’s a violation of their free speech or some great injustice that people…don’t like them as a result of things they say and do.

Federal agents shot and killed a 37-year-old Minneapolis resident on Saturday, the city’s police chief said. The shooting prompted clashes between law enforcement and protesters, as Minnesota officials renewed demands that the Trump administration end its immigration crackdown. trib.al/u8ESi4Q

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

Hey for the record, “Trump is going to do whatever he wants and ignore congress anyway” is an argument against incrementalism, not for it. Why are you scaling back the size of the ask in that scenario, other than to show off the pitiful limits of your own imagination

@tinybase.bsky.social I’m looking at using TinyBase to add local caching and server persistence to an existing react-router SSR app. Airtable like interface for budgeting. Do you have any tips before I dive in? My biggest question is whether Postgres persistence can work with my existing schema.

🧵 Our mutual aid hub has been a HUGE draw for our immense volunteer base, many of whom have never wanted to be involved politics before now. This model isn’t just about the immediate impacts: It’s about showing our values, building a community, and reaching voters — without selling our soul!

Experimenting with canvas for displaying records, using @tldraw.com and @nekomimi.pet's atproto-ui what do you think? Would you use this? Maybe for mood-boarding? Maybe a @kinopio.club-like, but AT proto native? Even just having tldraw -> save to PDS seems like, vaguely cool?
Screenshot of tldraw with a sidebar that lists all the records in your PDS, with drag and drop onto the canvas. On the canvas is a component displaying my profile and one of my tangled strings regarding the seams.so shortcut.

Ok never mind I reread the initial comment, and you’re right. I was being contrarian.

ngimbal @nickgimbal.com · 27/05/2025
Maybe, but the initial remark put the problem in a partisan framing. I agree that the problem is mostly owned by the right but I don’t think anyone has the solution right now. I don’t think anyone will make progress on this issue by shaming.

ngimbal @nickgimbal.com · 27/05/2025
I mean that’s fair, I just mean that the promotion of the self and self interest above all else isn’t only a problem on the right. I agree it’s a problem tho.

ngimbal @nickgimbal.com · 27/05/2025
I think this comes from the left as much as from the right but in a different flavor. “Follow your passion and express yourself at all costs” is a similar message, but I don’t think it’s exclusively directed at men.

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few: 1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

yeah i feel like a lot of this "Biden coverup reckoning" is a circle jerk between legacy media elites and establishment dems who are trying to perform accountability to prove theyre a different party. But they're not doing accountability about anything that actually matters to voters

Pritzker: The reckoning is here. And now that this culture of timidity is on display, these same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on the defense of Black people, trans kids, and immigrants, instead of on their own lack of guts and gumption.
