New:Paramount's legal team privately warned a well-known former Survivor contestant about wading into politics after she criticized the company for caving to the administration and got into an online fight with another current contestant on the show who supports Trump www.semafor.com/article/02/2...

As the guy who wrote the book on zoning abolition, I'd like to go on record as saying: if you can use zoning to stop the concentration camps, fucking go for it.

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

“Is there a technology the left is excited about?” High-speed rail! MRNA vaccines! New cancer treatments! Solar and wind energy collection! Better and longer-range EVs! That wood that's harder than steel! New apples! Fibermaxxing! Buldak Swicy ramen! Muppets! Muppets are too a technology, shut up!

“Whenever we go past that school, Ty's like: ‘Am I going back to jail, Mom? Are you taking me back over there?,’” Ty’s mother said. “I felt like nobody at that school was really fighting for him. They were too busy trying to justify what they did.” (Pub. Nov. 2024)

New poll: In 2024, low-engagement voters went for Trump over Harris by 11 percentage points. But now they disapprove of the way he's handling the presidency by 13. They have moved 25 points against Trump — 2x as large as the shift for high-knowledge voters www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-lost...

Considering the previous "draw down" was purely symbolic, I'm skeptical about what this will functionally mean. That said, for the sake of the people of Minnesota, I pray it's true and that this campaign of terror will soon be over.

I had a dream where I went to an American Girl themed summer camp and we had to solve a murder mystery, and now I’m angry this doesn’t exist.

We know that 4more children from Liam's school are still in ICE custody in TX. But we still do not know how many children from MN in total have been detained by ICE.

Hey, this Bovino thing is a pathetic attempt to make all these horrors the fault of one guy, and it would be a serious, serious crisis if people fell for it. ICE needs to be abolished, bc this - terror, murder - are what it exists for. Nothing else. This is just an attempt to mollify us. Stay angry

Looks like Greg Bovino is the chosen fall guy as the Trump admin scrambles to navigate the anti-ICE backlash. Reportedly being "forced into retirement" and denied access to his social media accounts. Don't accept it for a second. Keep pushing for full accountability.

Hey @chuckwendig.bsky.social very uncool of you to make me cry with something so beautifully profound and relevant right now in one of your books.

Last week, MAGA was claiming they're the *real* victims because some protesters called out a church who has an ICE agent pastor. They're both babies and liars. But I also dug into the church. It's the church that declared empathy is a "sin." Analysis. www.salon.com/2026/01/26/p...

reported ICE activities in the Twin Cities this morning -- terrorizing a daycare -- drawing weapons outside a bank

“The occupation that is happening in Minneapolis has been damaging a lot of people, including small businesses. And, you know, we want to stand in solidarity with everyone around the neighborhood,” said a Bebe Zito manager named Jeremy. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

This is a 16-year old girl who was carrying documentation and was pulled over with her documented friend, also 16. This is what they did to both.

If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed. Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.

“[T]he agent took the child out of the still-running vehicle, led him to the door, and directed him to knock on the door, asking to be let in, in order to see if anyone else was home—essentially using a 5-year-old as bait.” - the kid’s principal

Independents are +12 on abolishing ICE

Well, that's because he's a racist piece of shit. And also he probably doesn't know what day or year it is.

They complain about the male loneliness epidemic but do men even try to make themselves attractive by showing off their shapely legs and festooning themselves with embroidery and lace? They do not

Trump issued an executive order to have weed rescheduled, which would lower its criminal status. This symbolic gesture would do little for those most likely to be arrested for cannabis. Meanwhile, Trump has done much more to re-criminalize cannabis during this second term. My latest.

There were people in 1970 who thought the student protesters at Kent State deserved it when they were shot to death. I’m reminding myself of that so I don’t fall into denial and imagine the sadistic glee I’m seeing on X about the ICE shooting is new. It’s not. It’s a strand in our cultural fabric.

ICE is murdering Americans in the street.

Follow Jon on the ground in South Minneapolis

It's good to use the resources at hand to fight because sometimes you win. Also, I keep thinking of the period after this man was killed and how a group of people tried to impose a new social reality. It didn't work. This too is a lesson.

Nancy Pelosi responds to the Trump White House accusing Capitol Police of "deliberately escalating" tensions that led to the January 6 riot: "What do you think about that does not sound like an insane statement?"

Mitch McConnell would like his legacy to be Ukraine or the court. But his most consequential decision will always be his decision to acquit Trump for January 6. It directly led to Trump’s return and his diminished influence.

The purpose of pushing impeachment articles through the House, via a fucking discharge petition if necessary, is to make Trump have to spend resources defending himself in the Senate. And if new impeachment articles come through every two weeks, you force the motherfucker on defense.

On the plus side, now people know where to protest at 2am.

“why are you still on twitter” -> whiny, makes you sound like a scold “oh you post on the pedophile app” -> makes them sound like a pedophile

A must-read message from Colin and Sophie Hortman, Mark and Melissa's children:

Oh, just get vaccinated (part 5,000) "Many shots seem to have “off-target” benefits, such as lowering the risk of dementia, studies have found." (gift article)

Donald Trump is spreading dangerous, disgusting lies about the murder of our dear friend and colleague, Melissa Hortman. Our full statement from House DFL Leader Zack Stephenson:

Many folks argue that the first two impeachments didn’t constraint Trump so why try again, but if the rule of law is to have any meaning, then Democrats must insist on at least trying to hold Trump accountable for asserting dictatorial powers to kidnap, invade, loot, and murder.

Exactly one month ago.

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

Although Minnesota requires teachers, clergy, doctors and day care providers to promptly report child abuse, those charged with violating the law are rarely held accountable. In the past 15 years, only six out of 28 people charged were convicted. With @startribune.com

grok didn't say shit. Grok is not sentient. This is you helping musk escape accountability for this shit. Journalism fail.

Ex-Meta chief AI scientist Yann LeCun has Lunch with the FT and in one of those instances so rare that you know he didn't sign an NDA, says exactly why as.ft.com/r/e503690d-8...

Resisting him almost always works, trying to bargain with him never ever works

We don't have a government. We have a bunch of guys who heard things on social media. We don't have due process. We have entire groups being punished for the alleged actions of a few.

Rewatching It: Chapter One after finishing It: Welcome to Derry, and now I’m mad about Patrick Hockstetter all over again.

Zac was looking at one of his woodworking projects he made for me and said “I wish *I* had someone who made me things!” My brother in Christ, I made you a best friend out of my guts and chicken tendies, who has had the Pokémon theme song memorized since he was 4.

I feel like there isn’t a table big enough for Jesus to flip when I see stuff like this.

TikTok has signed a deal to sell its U.S. operations to a group of investors led by Larry Ellison, the billionaire ally of Trump whose family media and entertainment empire just got bigger. n.pr/4p9IPdQ

It all started in 1955 with a misprint in a Colorado newspaper and a call to Col. Harry Shoup's secret military hotline. Shoup played along with the tiny voice who called, and a tradition was born. From the NPR archives.
