To be clear: the majority of MN Dems elected in prominent positions - Gov Walz, mayor Frey, Sen Klobuchar - fully supported national guard deployments in Minneapolis following George Floyd's murder. Mobilization and LE expansion are topics that unite Democrats, Republicans, the majority of

Three months ago today, plain-clothes ICE agents abducted Mahmoud Khalil in his apartment building lobby after they'd followed him home. Free Mahmoud.

Dawg, they could barely wrangle small parts of Minneapolis and St Paul. What are you talking about they could wrangle LA?

Nothing more insufferable than a white male Gen X journalist hired right out of college into a major publication encountering his first real creative career challenges at (checks notes) age 50. Watching this guy's interview reinforces a self-indulgent view that journos can't learn anything new.

In the 42 years since the start of the Reagan revolution, bought-off politicians have so altered our tax code that fully $51 trillion has moved from the homes and savings of working-class Americans into the money bins of the morbidly rich money hoarders. https://trib.al/O1jiyie

Love this cartoon way more than I should. Can’t wait to see what Agent P is up to these days.

Your reminder that Humboldt Fog cheese, Humboldt County, CA, the Humboldt penguin (Spheniscus humboldti),and the Humboldt Current that allows wine grapes to grow in Chile are all named for an 18th C gay scientist whose love letters were all burned and who left his entire estate to his “valet.” 🏳️‍🌈

Sad that I have to pause my Dick Cavett episode w/Lucie Arnaz, Carol Burnett, and Lucille Ball to join a mtg. (this is so cushy and I'm spoiled)

Starting our work day discussing Quiet Riot. Gonna be a good day.

I can tell some of you people have never watched the WWF/WWE. Elon is doing a classic “heel turn.” This builds tensions and keeps ratings high. By Electomania 2028, liberals will try to tag Elon in, but he’ll refuse. Then, when Trump is about to be pinned, he’ll bit Dems with a steel chair.

MAGA on X today.

Perfect. No notes.

The Russia's Future channel, launched by Navalny's widow Yulia Navalnaya and Reporters Without Borders, began broadcasting Wednesday, on what would have been the late Russian activist's 49th birthday.

And Housing for All is an impressively comprehensive examination of homelessness in America by Maria Foscarinis, who has worked in homelessness advocacy for decades.

It wasn’t an ICE raid. It was an ICE-involved raid bolstered by the brand new ICE field office branded with Nazi iconography and nobody really knows why but it’s super complicated so we needed a militarized caravan of FBI agents with giant guns to carry it out just to be safe

Hey MSP folks, I'm hearing from my neighbor that cops are shutting down Lake Street from Bloomington down to like 34th or 35th and protest marshals are needed again. Please help spread the word.

The way people are talking about the current demolition of research funding and HE legitimacy reminds me of the early days of COVID when I (and others) said it would be at least six years before any normalcy. Rage, despondency, rejection…eventually voting for a dictator just to feel alive.

Laughing at any employer who thinks that quality full-time childcare can be reliably procured with less than 3 months' notice. I don't have kids, but looking at some of the RTO follow-up comms have been WHEW

Hot take of the day: the domestic and international after-effects from post 9/11 US policy changes are expensive (monetarily) and catastrophic to human and civil rights. We wouldn't be in our current political climate without our mistakes, and worse - unwillingness to rectify wrongs.

Daily reminder that ACAB - brought to you by the letters I, C, and E in Mpls today

Side note: acronyms in private sector work are pathetic compared to acronyms in public health or academic medicine.
