Immigrant rights organizers gathered outside a Lake Street business on Tuesday as armed law enforcement officers blocked off access.

My new hero is the person who sharpied "BITCH NAZI" on this bearcat.

A once-hyped AI startup backed by Microsoft has filed for bankruptcy after it was revealed that its so-called artificial intelligence was actually hundreds of human workers in India pretending to be chatbots.

Stop ICE Raids Alert Network: a nationwide mobile alert system stopice.net

This is what bugs me. Frey is always two steps behind and today it seemed like O’Hara was too

Hey friends! I’m collecting evidence of MPD and the county collaborating with ICE and other federal agents. If you have photos or videos from today please reply!! If it’s a video you may get a DM from me asking to share the file. Thanks all!

ICE Tea Watch: Privacy-safe community reporting for ICE and law enforcement activity icetea.peoplesrebellion.org

now they are denying it was even an immigration action and acting like they didn't come with three massive armored vehicles and enough zip ties to make mass arrests. get out there and make their job miserable. love to my minneapolis people who brought megaphones and stood out there in the rain.

Minneapolis residents running ICE/DHS out of town so hard multiple police agencies are lying about what really happened while DC Democrats give Republicans free TACOS really does show the difference between the party base and the party infrastructure, doesn't it?

at lake and bloomington where ICE were seen. large group of angry people

Cigarettes everywhere. Cigarettes in restaurants. Cigarettes in cars. Cigarettes on planes. Walls and upholstery absolutely yellowed with tar.

Dick Durbin, Amy Klobuchar, and Chris Coons all co-sponsored this, FYI.

I think people running government agencies should have some expertise in the agencies they have been hired to run

I am reading that New Yorker profile of Curtis Yarvin and I cannot overemphasize how much he is a stupid person's idea of what a smart person sounds like. I resent having to know who this man is. I wish to wipe him from my memory.

If I'm reading this correctly, then Yarvin wants the role of führer to be awarded via a Wings of Voice-style competition www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

The Washington Examiner (the conservative news outlet) reports that Stephen Miller screamed at ICE officials: "What do you mean you're going after criminals? Why aren't you at Home Depot? Why aren't you at 7-Eleven?" Kinda blows up the narrative that they care about public safety.

I am dead serious: I am not celebrating this; there is something genuinely sad going on here Part of me wishes I coulda just published the entire transcript of the nearly hour long call It was… something

Finally we get to hear what this guy thinks.

Pretending that you have to take health care from poor people because of fraud in the system while Elon Musk and Donald Trump are on the most cartoonish corruption spree in history is so grotesque it's almost hard to believe

The same way these absolute chuds want to write books without writing, they want to be able to claim to have read books without reading.

Big gap in your resume? Just put "2017-2021: In thrall to dark forces." Interviewers wont really want to get into what that means but they'll also be reassured it's not your current status

one thing that isn't mentioned here is that Clearview AI has been providing neo-Nazi groups with free Clearview AI accounts since the company was founded

These companies are an ultra toxic combo of predatory and reckless, and in no way capable of being stewards of people’s mental health. This seems like a slow moving disaster.

An air quality alert is in effect for almost all of Minnesota and the tribal nations of Upper Sioux, Mille Lacs, Prairie Island, Leech Lake, Red Lake, Grand Portage and Fond du Lac. The alert is expected to last until 6 p.m. on Monday.

Good on them: Macalester, St. Olaf, and Carleton are all providing summer housing for international students who are terrified they won’t be able to return to school if they go home for the summer break. (But imagine how homesick these people will be, on top of the stress: & expense.) No paywall

“We’re not in love with the law” is a pretty good motto for this group

Maybe I just don’t remember it but I don’t think there was ever a corresponding trend of articles about conservative parents cutting off their gay kids, which was a thing that absolutely happened en masse in the 90s and aughts as gay culture mainstreamed

Silicon Valley is a factory generating a million guys a year braying "the problem with every public good is that I'm not making money off it, and this app fixes that" and people still wonder why capitalism must be destroyed

DEI is good for business and the leaders who get that will reap the benefits (in addition to showing they’re not cowards.)

To the one true God above, here is my prayer

This photo from the ICE raid in San Diego yesterday sustains me

Department of Homeland Security officers invading a congressman's offices and arresting a staffer who tried to stop them is very, very bad. gothamist.com/news/homelan...

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Heavily armed paramilitary forces stormed a local San Diego restaurant today, deployed stun grenades against a crowd of onlookers, and kidnapped a handful of kitchen workers.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

SCOOP: Sahil Lavingia, who says he was fired from DOGE after speaking out about his experiences there, told WIRED about how he communicated with the group, who appears to be in charge, and what might be coming next.

Seven of the sources cited in MAHA commission's report do not exist: “The paper cited is not a real paper that I or my colleagues were involved with," says one researcher. www.notus.org/health-scien...

Texas police say they used Flock to search for a woman they believed had had a self-administered abortion for her "safety." I call bullshit. www.404media.co/a-texas-cop-...
