The agitators, of course, are the face-wrapped and camouflage-clad Secret Police. Everyone else in Minneapolis lives there and belongs there.

And obviously, the purpose of this invasion has jack crap to do with immigration. The intent is to trigger a violent response, which will provide the basis for Trump & the Republicans to exponentially increase the violence and replace the America we’ve called home with abject fascism.

Vampires have no reflection.

I’m not a Democrat at all, support gun rights, own two myself, and also support gun control. (:

They just categorically refuse to vote for Democrats because they have correctly deduced that Democrats want to take their gun rights away

Correctly? A few Dems mention “gun control” sometimes, mostly to appease anti-gun voters, but among elected Democratic office-holders there’s zero call for taking away gun rights.

Ha — how did you get to know my family so well? I’m not interested in conversation with people who aren’t interested in conversation, so I no longer engage — unless they say something stupid or fascist in my presence.

Some things are best discussed privately.

In a position commanding a wide public audience, Jonathan Rauch has spent years speaking against us and mocking us. Today, he’s had an epiphany and figured out he’s been well-paid to be wrong. That’s cool. “Welcome to the fight. This time I know our side will win,” and all that.

I’m not going to waste any effort kicking him today, but I’m also not shocked, not scolding anyone who doesn’t welcome Jonathan Rauch with a bouquet of flowers and wet kisses. Anyway, in five days or five minutes he’ll decide we’re wrong again. Shrug.

My response is positive to all the first two ideas, but I’ve seen no need for NSFW voting.

Looks like stale communities are already closed and deleted, at least here on lemmy.world. Popped into a community I ran but set to “no new posts” a few years ago, and all the old posts are gone. Which is OK by me.

I have not yet seen names, which is peculiar. We can see a face pretty plainly, and hear a voice, but firing somebody requires a name.

Man, I would love it if Katie took the lead on that.

He’s only quitting the SPOG job. He’ll still be out there, being a bad cop five days every week.

Yeah, me too. Baseball and basketball are more about finesse than brute strength, so I’d go with the baseballers.

OK, but here’s my question: Which team would win, Seahawks or Mariners, if they played basketball?

Still watching, but this is great – THANK YOU neuracnu – and 💖 THE TRANSIT FAIRY DID THE SWEARING IN! 💖

Dude’s a weasel.

Resigning would be counterproductive, short-term and especially in the long-term, but I’d be delighted if one or two sane members of the SC went on strike, by ditching the legal lingo and issuing plain-English dissents.

… since the birth of my second daughter.

As absolutely always, when you find a Republican office-holder with a smidgen of empathy, it’s because the outrage in question affects them personally. If it’s not about them or their family, the cruelty is fine, even enjoyable.

Just fuckin’ yay.

Give me someone who believes in something — Katie Wilson — not another politician who believes only in money & power.

I’ve avoided Facebook for so long, the idea that it’s required as part of an ‘education system’ bewilders me. Wow.

I have to grudgingly agree. Saw lots of terrific movies there dating back 40 years, but I usually came out with a crink in my neck.
