Some professors at the University of St. Thomas are doing a research project on the effects of the ICE occupation on Twin Cities parents. They're looking for parents who are US citizens, who live in the Twin Cities metro area, and who have kids ages 5-10.

Honestly I need historians to be the plaintiffs in every case I cover because if they make it to discovery you just KNOW those primary sources are going public.

As this was happening you were told shoplifting and home invasions were grave threats you needed to abandon any pretense of sympathy to address.

They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more.
They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.
At first glance this idea may SOUND good, but the truth is that no poor person will benefit from it, middle class people will benefit from it only marginally, but the well-to-do would benefit substantially. This is a perverse policy disguised as a middle class cut

Read this, read this carefully. Arley is doing incredible, important work here.
Let’s be fair, it’s also a platform for creating, distributing and selling child sexual abuse material.
love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

Diaper pantries and food banks are running on fumes these days. Signing up for a recurring gift of $25/month can make a genuine, substantial difference on the ground.
From @asherelbein.bsky.social in our magazine: “This assumption that rattlesnakes must simply be exterminated reaches its bloody culmination in the ‘rattlesnake roundup.’ ... Since 1958, the most famous of these has been held in the West Texas town of Sweetwater.”
My latest! In this month's cover story for the @texasobserver.org, I wrote an expansive, oddly philosophical deep dive into the western diamonback rattlesnake, a much-maligned animal I've come to have a lot of respect and affection for
Every cat has to make a fateful choice one day about if he’s going to try and be nice to the person who gives him food or decide that he can probably get away with beating the shit out of that person
I can't compete with this.
cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch
