Reading a think piece on Dungeon Crawler Carl & this appears: "And the people of Minneapolis, who this past winter broke the vanguard of American authoritarianism, did it with nothing more secret or clever than whistles, text messages, and an absolute commitment to loving their neighbors."

I think we lost something as a worldwide culture now that you can have a song this huge that people don't even go "FUCK i am so SICK of that fucking SONG" about instead of "what even is that?"

Today I obtained arguably the greatest X-Men story of all time: the saga of the Alphabet Pet as featured in the Uncanny X-Men Super Activity Book.
Cover of the X-Men super Activity book.Magneto becomes frustrated by spelling.Because he hates spelling Magneto invents the Alphabet Pet. The Alphabet Pet prepares to sting an uncharacteristically jovial Wolverine.

These people had protected status. They lived here legally. They worked, they paid taxes. They made lives. Raised families. Now we’ve dehumanized them. Ripped away that protection and told them to get out. This is a stain on the soul of this Nation.

I think people not in Minneapolis really do think sentiment has faded here but everyone I know has stayed angry. If every single person protesting JL had been arrested and jailed and there was another shitbag to protest the next day, another hundred of us would have come out.

For the last seven months straight, the U.S. government has refused to process immigrant visas for nationals of 75 countries around the world; including visas for spouses of U.S. citizens. Today, a federal judge ruled the policy flagrantly illegal.
Map of the world, with the 75 countries impacted highlighted in yellow. They include countries in South America like Brazil and Venezuela, about half of all African countries, and most Middle Eastern countries.

It seems like every year our park system is awarded and ends up ranked high on “best in the country” lists. Jacob Frey seems to see that and think “what if we moved this investment into cops playing candy crush next to a downtown data center” Jacob is bad for Minneapolis. A visionless hack.
