Once again I am calling for Democrats to introduce legislation requiring standardized uniforms, visible badge numbers with names, as well as a requirement for ICE and DHS agents to present proof that there is enough danger present to be masked to a judge when they get their warrant.

O'Hara was quoted in the paper today saying MPD didn't have enough staff for an 8-person investigative unit for non-fatal shootings—the same program St. Paul is using to cut its gun related homicides in half. Got plenty of guys to run interference for ICE tho.

My main takes on the Lake Street raid: - it's good to debrief, also that must be done with acknowledgement that we may never have a full picture - the rapid response of overlapping solidarity networks is what changed the day. Make your understanding of what happened serve the goal of building those

This no-kill animal shelter is in desperate need of kitten food, kitten milk replacement, and other supplies. If you post a screenshot in my replies showing that you donated at least $10 (even as a Chewy gift card), I'll answer a style-related question for you. Donation info in their thread.

Donald Trump just posted that Joe Biden was executed in 2020 and replaced with clones. While not true, this statement may be a metaphor for the delusional dementia that Biden experienced in office. by Jake Tapper

The problem is the media says "Trump claims" for everything and will also say "Harris claims" or "AOC claims" for claims that clear the bar of plausibility whereas Biden robot clones are obviously if not deliberately fantastical spasms of a mendacious troll

I am hearing from folks that the new Missouri Secretary of State, Denny Hoskins, a MAGA Republican, has fired half of the staff in the State Archives today with no warning. These are people that preserve and provide access to state government records…

The flood of encomiums and morality tales about Elon's turn in Washington cldn't be more predictable, vapid & sickening.

The thing is, it's not over. The things they've trashed in a few months (public health, education, brain drain--the fucking weather) will take decades to repair. The full effects might not be noticed for months or years.

It isn't the content that's the problem. It's the way that center and left discourse is stuck behind paywalls while rightwing discourse is pushed out free, bankrolled by billionaires, and distributed like wildfire across social networks. We aren't failing at ideas, we're failing at spreading them.

Open AI’s valuation is at $400 billion. They used about 190,000 books to train their plagiarism bot. Randomly saying 25% of their value comes from that stolen dataset, I think they owe the authors about $526,000 per stolen book.

Liberals (in basically any western country) think that the political victory of the right is due to messaging: "We just need to get the messaging right". No. Your politics are shit because you are adopting the narratives of the right (austerity, racism) and provide no meaningful alternatives.
