the foreign descriptions of what is going on are hilarious and terrifying www.youtube.com/shorts/SfzuV...

As usual, the Guardian is quicker to call a spade a spade than its closest American equivalents

Gavin Newsom is being an ass in Davos. Assuming we even manage to get through this, let’s not follow one arrogant American narcissist with another.

This is shockingly out of touch, please donate your money to the communities that are being attacked by masked federal agents. Also, in-person precinct caucuses are a terrible idea, there are immigrant families who haven’t left their houses in weeks.

How about we *all* get an old trophy or certificate we don't care about out of our closets or attics and send them all to the White House at the same time? I bet he'll at least assign some flunky (Vance, Patel, etc.) to sort through them in case there's something really impressive to display.

“get the fuck out of minneapolis”

“When I speak about making our city more affordable, my vision is not limited to the homes that we live in or the child care that we’re making universal — it’s also a vision where we make it possible for working people to afford lives of joy, of art, of rest, of expression." – Mayor Mamdani

“IT WAS MURDER” Several hundred people have formed a human banner at San Francisco’s Ocean Beach today (Sat Jan 10, 2026) 👏👏 (📸 Erik Castro)

Translation of official ICE statement on this morning's murder: "ICE agents in Minneapolis: feel free to shoot civilians at will. We will not investigate to collect facts; we will just immediately construct a fictional narrative of what happened that completely absolves you of any wrongdoing."

Jen McEwan for governor!

Any similar move on Mexico, Greenland, or Canada should result in an immediate nationwide general strike that only ends with Trump's impeachment and conviction, resignation, or death. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Merry Xmas to all who reject the tyranny of subject-verb agreement

St Paul suburb Woodbury is one of the places where they plan to put a concentration camp for people kidnapped by ICE

A measure of political grotesquerie: Ted Cruz representing the relatively sane, tolerant wing of a party

"I would stomp him." – AOC on a hypothetical race for president against JD Vance

There should be a newspaper called The Daily Apocalypse

For wannabe 2028 Dem prez nominees, 2 firm commitments should be non-negotiable: (1) abolish ICE (2) expand SCOTUS

US to Europe: stop resting on your laurels. You’re not white supremacist for us today.

The next time a Democrat is elected president, SCOTUS will rediscover constitutional limits to executive power so quickly it will make our heads spin.

Maybe they won't notice your anti-immigrant policies are taking away their own healthcare if you get them riled up to fear and hate a dark-skinned immigrant group that has never harmed them in any way?

A local t-ball league just awarded me their prestigious world peace prize. I'm so humbled, it's such a great honor, which of course I totally deserve!

The Trump crime family is garbage.

Looks like the @startribune.com is getting Richard Hell to write its headlines again

Every time Eric Roper spews about the "far left," Donald "Far Left Lunatics" Trump smiles at the Republican-owned @startribune.com joining his name-calling instead of facing the fact that most democratic socialist policies – like universal healthcare, childcare, and eldercare – have wide support.

Scared New Yorkers of privilege, consider moving to Minneapolis, where capitalism disguised as wealthy white liberalism still reigns supreme!

I thought of sending this reaction to the Star Tribune's latest scaremongering about Omar Fateh as a letter to the @startribune.com, but they wouldn't even publish my online comments calling out their puff piece on Frey a few days ago, so I just made it a social media post instead.

I’m letting the haters know now: stay mad. We will continue to exist and thrive in Minnesota. 😘 @aurinmpls.bsky.social @omarfatehmn.com sahanjournal.com/democracy-po...

“It’s not that he’s black, Muslim, or Somali; it’s that I heard something bad about a scandal with one of those people, and I have trouble telling them apart.”

MAGA to white South Africans: “You lost apartheid there, come help us rebuild it in America!”

It's amazing how well such enormous numbers of America-hating Hamas terrorists can disguise themselves.

Remember when the right was pissing their pants in hysterics over "cancel culture"?

your daily StudBud

Has there yet been a lawsuit in those conservative states over the teaching of “gender ideology” for a class that includes Romeo and Juliette, or Jane Austin, or even Fun with Dick and Jane? It would at least be a chance for these bozos to learn what “ideology” actually means.

Willie be Willieing

So glad they caught the “radical left” guy! Did he have a copy of Das Kapital in his backpack?

Among the details in Seth A. Richardson's excellent, heartbreaking new Racket piece on the death of Palmer's Bar: owner Sarah Dwyer wrote to Mayor Jacob Frey twice to ask for more enforcement of city code to help clean up the neighborhood. Neither letter even received a reply. #DontRankFrey

They should also call the Department of Health the Department of Sickness, the Department of Justice the Department of Retribution, and the Department of Education the Department of Ignorance.

The fact that the Democratic Party is terrified of what the dynamic and popular Zohran Mamdani might do to the public perception of Democrats, yet oblivious to the awful damage Schumer and Jeffries are constantly doing to the same is all you need to know about how brain-dead the party is.

Hey all you assault weapon-owning, gun-loving dipshit Americans, wasn't your excuse all along that you might need them to fight the US government if it suddenly became authoritarian? Are you all just super busy right now or something?

Just want to say publicly in advance that if I'm ever in a federal prison, then anyone who has the power to pardon me is and has always been, in my estimation, an absolutely perfect gentleperson in all respects and has never done anything even remotely inappropriate.

“You couldn’t feel safer anywhere in the world than at a ukulele gathering.” —wisdom from MPR this morning (I believe it, though a Lynx game might be a close second)

I mean, its hard to argue with “Fuck Jacob Frey, fuck fascism and fuck Donald Trump.” but leave it to the fucking Star Tribune to write a fucking article about fucking decorum, so fuck the Star Tribune along with this other list.

Trump’s concern about antisemitism is about as selective as his concern for birds: it’s only there if there’s a university he wants to shake down or a windmill he wants to take down.
