In other news, shocking evidence found of bears pooping in the woods.

What? Not Donal Trump?

I believe the law was all the Epstein files. Not cherry-picked Epstein files. And an explanation of redactions. 🚬😎

get ice out of our lives and every person who supports them

Hey ICE goons, you know what would make you feel better? Quitting your job and going home.

If your local police are helping ICE or standing by, complain to your local government. Statistically you probably did not vote for Trump, but you DID vote for your mayor. Let them know that collaboration will cost them.

"The fact that there’s now a word, 'quixotic,' to describe a quest that most people believe to be foolhardy is just further proof of my singular genius."

Did you miss out on your last opportunity to bankroll the fully stocked pop-up leftist supply depot?? Do you want to send free hand warmers, winter gear, first aid supplies, YOU NAME IT, to the Twin Cities? This is your moment. Let's ride. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... (non 'zon in follow up!)

Minnesotans are showing us how to show up for our neighbors. Let's show up for them. NOW is the time to get involved. Join us.

So at the time he was murdered, he was unarmed.

ICE is a violent criminal organization. Arrest them all.

If you work for ICE, quit now. Your chances for future employment, meaningful friendships, and frankly, not getting shanked in prison are already pretty slim, but if you quit RIGHT NOW you might avoid the worst of what is coming. Especially if you blow some whistles, and then testify.

brb crying forever at the thought of having a mom who loved me like this practiceresurrection.tumblr.com/post/1067655...

On a downtown street in Minneapolis, as people stream out from the massive march, Mary Tyler Moore says “fuck ice.”

Maybe you've heard some version of this quotation by Bertrand Russell: "The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt." It's as true today as then, but I want to unpack the context: opposition to fascism.

Nailed it. McSweeney's for the win. i especially love the "...won't wait just a goddamn hour until you're there to help them..." part My mom's obsession with getting the trash out to the corner knows no fucking bounds. Already broke her hip once doing it. Will do it again without this bubble wrap

Davos, Switzerland, the World Economic Forum.

I’ve been writing Popular Information for 8 years, and this is one of the most important stories I’ve ever published. This is a humanitarian crisis that has gone unreported.

The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE. This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

you too can look like a bog man who was pulled out of a bog and left to dry and then put back in a different, shittier bog

"these stay-at-home moms are a menace, we're going to make them national heroes and try to get them fired" Lol okay bud thank you for threatening everyone with a good time

Saw a lot of headlines saying "wikipedia is embracing ai" being tossed around tabloids, and I'm pretty sure they were maliciously written to make you feel a certain way about Wikipedia. What's actually happening is that wikipedia is demanding payment for data scraping and the corpos don't like that.

An exchange where everyone loses.

Texas A&M abruptly cancels ethics course over race, gender policy.

This could be the unified Dem position. It is wildly popular. Puts the regime on defense on two fronts at the same time. Good policy, good politics.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

My wife does this stuff, too. BROADWAY REVIVAL, by Laura Frankos, sends a time traveler from 2079 back to 1934 to save George Gershwin from brain cancer...and changes the Great White Way forever. It's Broadway musical theatre alt hist! www.amazon.com/Broadway-Rev...

Are you in Minnesota and are impacted by ICE? The state attorney would like the details: www.ag.state.mn.us/Federal-Acti...

So with everything happening in Minnesota, I feel like some people need an explanation of what the Insurrection Act is and isn't, along with martial law (which isn't the same and is very nebulous) from someone who knows what they're talking about. Buckle up.

How many child-rapists and child-rape advocates have turned out to be trans men and boys and how many have turned out to be *Rump supporters? 0 to I've lost count now....

The Michigan Ford autoworker who screamed “pedophile protector” at President Trump during his plant tour—eliciting a “Fuck you” and a middle finger from the president—has been suspended from work. trib.al/4tZpAub He believes he was punished for “embarrassing Trump in front of his friends.”

More like this, please. Keep 'em coming

President Stephanie! Now I don't know if @topcat1995.bsky.social and I should emigrant to Venezuela or Catlandia.

This is *the* thing no author can abide: An editor inserting a change **after** writer has seen "final proof" etc. A late update in a breaking news story? Sure. But columns, reviews, features, magazine pieces... No. Happened to me once. Refused to work with that editor ever again.

I wrote book reviews for a while for the WSJ well over a decade ago, and Bari Weis was my editor. One of her special tricks was to try to insert a sharp rightward slant into my essays *after* it had been copy edited, as a way of slipping her viewpoint in at the last minute.

SENATOR @rubengallego.bsky.social : “These guys know Trump and Vance will make excuses for them. Even when they literally murdered an American. What happened that day was unjustified. That ICE officer should be in jail… I didn’t wear a mask in Iraq.”

If you don't understand the whole Federal Reserve thing and why it's scaring the shit out of everyone, here's the very very abbreviated basics: - The Fed sets US monetary policy independent of our government. - That gives other countries confidence that when we put out numbers, they're real.

I think i have found an exception to the "If you see someone shoplifting food, no, you didn't" rule. ktla.com/news/local-n...

My new favorite picture of my wife and (one of my) dog.

No Guns For #ICE There is no reason for ICE to be armed. They enforce paperwork rules. They should be handing out tickets and summonses. They are the country's meter maids. They don't need guns, armor, or heavy duty vehicles. They need good walking shoes and a sun hat. Maybe a segway.

idk how to explain this but the fact that this is Minnesota and the neighbours are standing right there heckling instead of helping is an act of war

Read this wonky internal report on the petroleum industry and it sounds like they are calling a Brown Pants Alert about the collapse of their whole market. Too much supply, not enough demand and expectations that trends will continue that way. Petroleum is Peaking, possibly this year.

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

Don't allow it. Never allow it.
