Jacob Frey: "If we are now at the point where the federal govt is deploying agents on legal American citizens with a goal of uprooting people who have formed lives here, have families here, started businesses here, definitively made Minneapolis a better place, everybody should be speaking out."

can’t believe Jared Kushner was unable to negotiate a meaningful and just peace with Putin

President Putin rejected the US-Ukrainian peace proposal during his meeting with a US delegation in Moscow on December 2 and remains highly unlikely to accept compromises. Read more from @thestudyofwar.bsky.social and @criticalthreats.bsky.social here: www.criticalthreats.org/analysis/rus...

"killers, leeches, entitlement junkies." 1. formal complaint filed against him for "extrajudicial killing": PETE HEGSETH 2. systematic pattern of self-enrichment, i.e. "leeching" DONALD TRUMP 3. "entitlement junkies": repeated use of federal taxpayer funds to patronize TRUMP-owned properties.

Donald Trump has done more to damage the United States than any other person in history.

Apparently there's a bill being introduced into the Senate that would disallow Americans to hold dual citizenship elsewhere. Republicans are a cancer and their ideology needs to be mentally eradicated.

This story sums up Trump: No need for evidence. No need for laws or treaties. No need for discussions. If Trump decides (based upon whatever random information or maybe just heartburn) that someone is in the wrong, he believes he has the right to kill them. The US is now a rogue nation.

Trump administration halts immigration applications for migrants from 19 travel-ban nations, including Afghanistan and Somalia... www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

I just love when people know how to handle a bully. Good on Costco! www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Truth be told

They're all cosplaying dress up & play acting. Trump too, committing acts of war pretending hes a big man.

“White Americans desire to be free from a past they do not want to remember, while Black Americans remain bound to a past they can never forget.” — Nicole Hannah Jones

The napping president can’t remember who he pardoned but he calls his predecessor sleepy and accuses him of not knowing who he pardoned.

Women younger than 50 consistently accounted for 1 in every 4 breast cancers detected. The data also showed that younger women not only carry a stable and substantial share of the breast cancer burden, but their tumors are often biologically aggressive. #RSNA25 www.upi.com/Health_News/...

Bullshit. It’s like saying “I can’t recall” 100 times while being deposed. Selective memory.

We all know that hippies love their hippie music. Anything from Buffalo Springfield to Schpongle, they love it. But we all love music. Literally everyone is into some sort of audio choreography. But my weird hippie neighbor is not that way. I can play Grateful Dead and she's like, "Who's this?" Shit

We’re living in the dumbest, tackiest, craziest timeline.

$4.89/gal in WA State in our town. Seattle is much worse, over $5/gallon. We have three refineries within 20 miles.

Somehow this is the worst part. Yet again I'd like to thank the publishing industry, Hollywood, and Yale Law School for ensuring this bigot's rise to prominence.

The family of a Colombian man believed to have been killed in a US strike in the Caribbean has filed what’s believed to be the first complaint against such attacks with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR).

Amid a tumult of gossip, Olivia Nuzzi’s new memoir, “American Canto,” arrives as a peculiar artifact, reading less as a book about politics than as fan fiction about herself.

when i am president i will make it illegal to make an app where you can't select and copy text

Mass shooting: 4 wounded in shootout in Saint Paul, Minnesota. exchange of gunfire; locations near this intersection possibly involved = Dairy Queen and Twins Market -- 1055 4th St E, St Paul

Trump, forgetting his recent effort to co-opt the issue, called affordability "a fake word, it doesn't mean anything to anybody." Just putting that out there in case anyone in an opposition party wants to use it.

Trump bragging, “We’re going to start doing those strikes on land too. The land is much easier,” is not strength — it’s reckless fantasy. He talks about war like it’s a video game, with zero regard for lives or consequences. This is how catastrophes begin.

Niger🇳🇪 plans to sell uranium from Somair on the international market. Military leader General Abdourahamane Tiani emphasized the country’s sovereign right to manage its resources and freely sell them under market conditions, asserting Niger’s full independence in the decision.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social ! 😂🤪

We ban athletes from betting because it could influence the game. Makes sense. So why do we allow politicians to trade stocks that could influence their decisions? Hard to defend that double standard.

ProPublica found more than two dozen cases of immigration agents using "less lethal" weapons in ways that appear to flout the government's own rules, including by aiming at someone’s head, spine or groin or deploying chemical agents near children. Read the full story: propub.li/44HU4Tp

Two books on the new(ish) shelf at my local library. Read most of the Buckley book recently and will clear the #TBR deck for “Baldwin: A Love Story” by Nicholas Boggs so I can read it over the holidays. Yep, just need to finish about 10 other books (for work and play) in three weeks … 🤷‍♂️ #booksky

COLLINS: “You’re leaving the door open to potentially running again next year?” AFTYN: “Perhaps, yeah. Absolutely.” 👀

In 1978, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors downzoned the city, banning multifamily homes in many areas and sparking a decades-long affordability crisis. 47 years later, on a 7–4 vote, they passed the Family Zoning Plan to finally begin to undo that mistake. The times, they are a-changin’!

Trumpiggy says he will withhold SNAP from states led by Democrats if they don’t provide recipient data. The idea is starve people and for people to self starve out of fear of the administration.

Meanwhile, Putin is claiming victory after Russian forces captured the Ukrainian town of Pokrovsk in the eastern Donbas region after fierce fighting for over a year. Pokrovsk was once a strategic logistics hub for the Ukrainian army.

I just want the next democrat presidential candidate to go on television and recite word for word the Declaration of Independence

Tonight, we did something everyone counted out. We proved to a nation that states like Tennessee are still worth fighting for. The margin was close, and that can only be attributed to the thousands of volunteers who showed out. This is just the beginning.
