Every single Republican candidate for governor of Minnesota (including Mike Lindell!) makes clear that if Trump tried another Operation Metro Surge in the Twin Cities, they would support his efforts to brutalize residents

I had a pretty lively career as a music journalist in the 90s and became a political writer almost by accident. I've often wondered what would have happened if I'd stayed in that lane and now I know I'd be in the exact same position I am today.
Leor Galil@imleor.bsky.social · 5h ago“Music publications BrooklynVegan, Alternative Press, Revolver, and Goldmine have been gutted by parent company Veeps... Nearly all the staff at each publication appear to have been laid off yesterday. Veeps, which is now owned by Live Nation, acquired the publications in 2024 or 2025”
Funniest outcome here is for Trump to pick and choose exactly who gets prosecuted for what and he wants to relitigate things like Kristen Stewart cheating on Robert Pattinson.
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 4h agoQ: "What message does it send if Trump fires a U.S. Attorney because she determined there was not sufficient evidence to charge four people with a crime?" Blanche: "If the president wanted to fire a U.S. Attorney, it turns out he's allowed to do that."
I encourage all of us to have the grace and focus shown in this going up within minutes of the race being called.
Yes I wonder why people are gravitating toward "healthcare is a human right" policies even if they don't "understand" the "cost."

Loved getting to join @anamariecox.com & @mike-eagle.bsky.social for this conversation on @pastduepodcast.com! So appreciated getting to talk about freelancing, multiple jobs, and myths of “hard work,” ambition, & worthiness, and appreciate them centering all kinds of discussions like this.

In today's GOP, violence against women is prerequisite, not a disqualifier.
Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · 7h agothis is so fucking disgusting.
Saw a bit on MSNow recently about how AES was winning in part because of Medicare for All, but the pundit talked to voters and "they don't understand the policy, they just hear it as having a right to health care." 1) great! 2) Has lack of "understanding" policy ever applied to Trump voters?
Abdul El-Sayed@abdulelsayed.bsky.social · 9h agoMoney out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.
They think about genitalia constantly and yet this is the only joke they can come up with.

Simply do not understand this new definition of film criticism where your opinion counts less the more you know about the source material.
Baby, are you a Bristol Stool Chart Type 4? Because you are smooth and soft, like a snake.

"In these times of hatred and misinformation, we need more than the 'apparent magic' of deceptive images. We need art that is truthful about the costs and the necessity of compassion, and that recognizes that a sense of spiritual superiority may not protect us from lies."

I recently had the pleasure of working with @anamariecox.com. Ana did an editorial assessment of one of my novels, a work-in-progress that I've struggled with for over a year. I'm extremely satisfied and I intend to work with her again soon. I highly recommended Ana's services! #booksky #authrosky
