After a trough of relatively less activity, that is fewer people calling me for help, I'm back up to 10 active habeas cases. I do not want to cause anyone undue alarm, but ICE has changed tactics and seems more likely to detain people when they go in for routine appointments with ICE.

What kind of “flagging and review” system leaves you vulnerable to misclicking on questionable content? Like, you get how that’s *worse* than just liking the porn?

and it's exposing a real double standard in moderation. the suspensions are being done under the Anti-harassment guidelines but their plenty of folks harassing black, trans & other minorities who just getting away with it all the fucking time (despite being reported).

again:

Bluesky is facing and failing a major test of integrity. Community members are calling out the true and relevant behavior of Aaron Rodericks, head of “trust and safety”. Liking barely legal porn from your official account is a behavior that does not inspire trust nor safety.

The Kavanaugh Stop, Stop, Stop brought to you by the lickspittle Robert’s Court.

They suspended @cara.city for this!!! Dogshit website run by absolute babies. It is a Serious Violation to point out that the head of trust and safety’s pants fell down and everyone saw his little red ass and laughed

Nick Kruse chose to speak to an incredibly transphobic right-wing local news outlet about his suspension from the DFL for reasons related to the transphobic feminist caucus meeting last year. This decision may materially endanger trans people in the DFL fighting this fight - myself and others.

MAMMAL BULLYING A REPTILE: Nice body temperature dude. Did the sun pick it out for you

Awwoooooooooooo

I feel like we're not saying this enough.

I am a member of the Wellstone/Hortman wing of the DFL, ‘til the day I die. We *do* things together to make people’s lives better.

Beauty (the concept) has always been a rhetorical and epistemological weapon. Just ask Phryne.

God grant me…whatever the hell it is I need to make it through today.

A detail I didn’t know: “The Herald entered the Epstein series for a Pulitzer Prize that year, but it was not a finalist. Alan Dershowitz … who helped broker Epstein’s original deal, wrote a letter to the Pulitzer committee that year, urging them not to honor Brown’s work.” share.inquirer.com/THMiUZ

There is no world in which it makes sense for Alabama to be 25% Black and have seven congressional districts and 0 representatives that Black people like. No amount of bullshit can make that make sense.

Gotta let this joke air out for a while.

The Reconstruction Amendments "advanced Congress’s goals of freedom and political equality while empowering Congress to enforce its terms by appropriate legislation.” When the Court seemed likely to challenge laws Congress considered appropriate, "Congress changed the size of the court" IKTFR

I love when anti-MN articles never actually interview anyone with the correct anti-MN take: the atrocious racial inequity

Read @taylordahlin.com’s blog post for more info. This is our tax money. It should not be going to Edina. taylordahlin.com/f/minneapoli...

Justice Thurgood Marshall, dissenting in Mobile v. Alabama, which gave us the 1982 amendments to the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that the Supreme Court just nullified in Louisiana v. Callais. Every word applies to the current majority: tile.loc.gov/storage-serv...

It is worth, I think, emphasizing that in trampling congressional attempts to protect the rights of Black people, the Court is basically doing what it has always done, with the exception of a couple decades in the mid-20th century when it often worked with Congress to protect the rights of Black ppl

It is surreal to wake up this morning. It is slow motion, something a longtime coming. It is a seismic shift of masks off and hoods on. I don’t know much. But I know I will fight. And I need each of you.

So many people urge us to vote if we are dissatisfied with our democracy. And yes voting matters. But as today’s Supreme Court ruling tells us, it’s not that simple. Not everyone who should have the right to vote can exercise that right.

FDR’s Fireside chat on March 9, 1937 explaining his proposal to expand the Supreme Court stands up surprisingly well. “We have reached the point as a nation where we must take action to save the Constitution from the Court and the Court from itself.”/1

My Threads feed is full of Black folks absolutely gutted and despairing over today’s Voting Rights Act ruling. I love Bluesky for so much, but today is one of those historical moments where it is stark that we really live in two different Americas.

In the past we had “Jim Crow“ laws. The next phase should be called “John Roberts” laws

This thread is infuriating and reminds me of the guy across the river in Minneapolis who was eventually shot by the neighbor who had repeatedly threatened him, who he had called the cops about, because the cops had the same "but he didn't answer the door so oh well" response.

Trump's first act as President was to pardon at least nine people who stormed the Capitol armed with guns. Including one guy who fired a gun on Capitol grounds ON CAMERA and has since been charged with rape and kidnapping in Colorado. www.cbsnews.com/news/high-pr...

Senator John Hoffman is a friend, colleague, and fighter. He has always been a willing ear and has offered valuable guidance during my time as a legislator. I am honored to have earned his trust to be the next Hennepin County Attorney.

The question of which side tolerates and celebrates political violence begins and ends with the fact Trump's first act as President...supported by JD Vance, Pam Bondi and all of FoxNews...was to pardon this guy for gouging a cop's eyes on camera. And 1000s more just like him including pedos & Nazis.

"Do you regret your heated rhetoric?" "No. Do you regret your chilled rhetoric? Do you regret sitting on the sidelines as norms fell away and so many laws were broken? Do you regret pretending like this was all normal and you alone were savvy enough to see that Both Sides Are To Blame?"

Sorry if I've been swinging wildly between these two concepts lately. These times are really trying.

Here is my statement on transphobia in the DFL, how I've tried to fight it, and how party leadership has allowed for it to continue: docs.google.com/document/d/e...

Whether it’s Donald Trump extorting $10 billion from the United States treasury or Joe Biden getting a free cone from a Delaware ice cream shop, both presidents used the office for inappropriate financial gain.

MSP: I chipped in $50. Can you? We take care of our own!

Staten Island traffic cameras have caught a white RAM 1500 pickup truck blasting through school zones or running red lights more than 547 times since 2022. The truck belongs to James Giovansanti, who lives and works there as an NYPD officer. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/23/t...

Enough is enough. I have had it with these motherfucking deniers of the Peace of Westphalia on this motherfucking app!

As a Commissioner on the Minneapolis Charter Commission, I want to explain clearly why I cannot support the proposed charter amendment as written. This comes down to structure, process, and public trust. ⬇️ 1/

I will never forgive Biden for not using December 2024 to have Seal Team 6 to give John Roberts an increasingly aggressive series of noogies until he agreed to revise Trump v US.
