Are you a Twin Cities resident? Want to be added to the MSP feed? There’s a process for this! Here’s the info you need.
@amityf.bsky.social and I run it together and it’s a volunteer project we get around to when we do, so our turnaround isn’t instant. We appreciate your patience! 🤗

Desegregation is being unraveled. Separate but “equal” is being reestablished. We can be defensive, or we can step up and ask for more than the preservation of the status quo.

Lord, there's a pit in my stomach seeing the pictures coming out of St. Vincent (where I was born and where much of my family grew up or still lives) The devastation caused Hurricane Beryl is...tremendous. And the world isn't ready for the future (present?) of climate change and climate refugees

Happy day three of disability pride month! It is also my last dose of paxlovid and I managed to wake up at a morning time and sit up to eat breakfast! My doctor yesterday told me she's seen a clear rose in COVID in the last week or so (I'm the only immuno sketchy one I that group) so do mask up.

We have had thousands of citizens detained by ICE, largely due to database error and bureaucratic failure. One guy was held for 1273 days! Nothing was done to fix it. The executive branch holds this authority, and no one can check that plenary power. www.latimes.com/archives/sto...

"There's no way it could have been abuse/that bad, because I stayed/kept going back." Yeah, unless you were conditioned by CPTSD to believe you couldn't do better, "deserved" it, and/or it was safer to stay or go back than to leave. Also, there's this thing called dissociation.

"The Abortion Fund of Ohio supported about 100 patients a month in 2022. By 2023, that grew to 360 patients a month, and now they’re averaging more than 500 patient requests every month ― a 400% increase in two years, as executive director Lexis Dotson-Dufault told reporters earlier this month."

If a platform got rid of engagement metrics (e.g.: likes, reposts, reply counts), what would it signal to you? Do those metrics enhance your experience so much that you can't use a tool without it? Is it for someone else (to get sponsorship)?

If Democrats feel that this is a core threat, then what's the political education plan? Are they turning the document into an audiobook? Are they hosting Project 2025 teach ins? Are they creating a Democratic Project 2025? Like what's actually happening in reality?
