This tactic is not original. Dating back to the 1970s, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan police would arrest indigenous Canadians under pretext and then drop them off in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere --stranding them in below freezing temperatures. They called these "starlight tours."

Of all the things we are doing in MN, this one is just beyond. Imagine being released from hell alone in the cold. And a total stranger has waited all night with a blanket just to be ready to hug you and carry you home. Every job we do is crucial, but this one is what restores humanity and dignity.

How Finland Defeated Fascism in the 1930s. "A violent, conservative, political movement...almost pushed Finland into authoritarianism. But then something happened. They managed to stave off fascism, and they've remained a stable democracy ever since." [kottke.org]

In Minnesota, this policy involved ICE officers arresting refugees who had done EVERYTHING right, then flying them to Texas in chains for interrogation. Remember, these people had filed every application on time, had done nothing wrong, and were here in the country 100% legally.

OH at cafe: WOMAN1: We’re talking about taking a mango tour around the world. WOMAN2: …mango? WOMAN1: Yes! We’ll follow the mango harvest to every continent. Except Antarctica. WOMAN2: … I am writing with Diana Rowland and we locked eyes over our laptops in absolute astonishment.

I am delighted to say that this is A REAL BIRB. Like no other group!

Once again, I am promising Democrats there are literally thousands of former department of justice people who will crawl over broken glass to prosecute this administration given the chance

Remember back in the day when Congress used to be in charge of appropriations?

If the motherfucking KING OF ENGLAND is willing to have his own brother arrested because he's a pedo, whomever is running in the midterms and in 2028 needs to bring fire and brimstone for EVERYONE in the files. Charles himself realizes how important this is! This is not an extreme position!

Olympic highlight in this house.

Between Chadwick Boseman, James Van Der Beek, so many others, and now this, the fact that so many young people have been getting cancer and have to jump through so many hoops just to get treatment is a scathing indictment of the fucked up American healthcare system

Christy Carlson Romano, known for Even Stevens and as the voice of Kim Possible, reveals she has tested positive for cancer. She now needs a PET scan to determine if it’s stageable and is currently fighting insurance to have the scan covered.

In case anyone needs it

BREAKING: JD Vance comes out in support of birthright citizenship

notorious radical left communist rag says tax the rich

This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades. It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.

Man. Remember when Sarah Palin said Obamacare would empower "death panels"

Hey I just wanted the 90s back

What I want to know is whether the timing line at the tip of his nose was placed automatically by the system or by a human after the fact. In Nordic skiing, time is taken at the tip of the ski boot, so technically this should be at his paw! But I guess the paw looks like a ski, which is ignored.

We love technology, we hate corporate greed. (Though I now sort of pine for the days of simple old corporate greed...)

A definite Highlight of the Olympics

I am going to sleep, and you should too, but if you're not quite ready and would like a little joy to help you toggle between The Living Nightmare and Sweet Dreams, I cannot possibly recommend this video highly enough:

This GOOD BOY ran onto the course during the Women’s Cross-Country Skiing Team Sprint event, crossing the finish line and being automatically recorded by OMEGA’s photofinish camera 😆

On the plus side, this may result in a renaissance in dumb electronics like toasters and refrigerators that never needed computers in them in the first place! It would be ESPECIALLY nice to be able to buy dumb TVs minus the spyware again!

Hey what possible use could a guy who was friends with history’s worst sex trafficker have for 55 gallon drums of acid

Huh.

You thought stoats weren't that dangerous? Well get ready for stoats... with guns

I love how this came out!! 🎨 @brg9u.bsky.social

How long until Grandma calls you up and asks you to send her some bitcoins for a special surprise she can't tell you the details about, but you're going to love it?

George Lakoff wrote three or four books about this 🚫🐘 "The Poll Trap📊: Leadership is about leading, not following. Instead of simply echoing polls, Democrats must also guide them. Republicans don't follow polls, Republicans try to change the polls."

Here it is, your moment of zen.

Epstein case relevant again

Mascot design for @ordercollie.com (ordercollie.com - furry friendly business check it out!) who asked for their border collie mascot to be reminiscent of classic French and Belgian comics (think Boule & Bill). Here's some poses we came up with to use for branding assets.

Happy 12-year anniversary to my favourite broadcast subtitle mistake And a happy year of the whores to you all

Wow.

Josh Johnson destroying Elon Musk for begging Epstein to come to the pedo island is the funniest shit I’ve seen this morning.

mom they’re roasting the US economy on mastodon again

ICE killed a teacher in Georgia today when they chose to chase a man who posed no danger and had no criminal history.

Swiss Olympic bobsled commentator broke a century of neutrality and spent the entire run of the Israeli bobsled team recounting all the pro-genocide remarks and social media posts by Adam Edelman, one of the apartheid state athletes. Absolute legend. More of this in sports please!

They raided the jailed children to steal their letters. The problem, in federal officials' minds, wasn't confining children in prison-camp conditions; it was that the children could tell the public about it.
