We're struggling to pull together funds for rent and this city wants to spend FORTY MILLION on a gun range for the Police. Oh btw the head of MPD's Wellness initiative, which would be part of this "center," is the officer who killed Amir Locke in a supposed outlawed by not actually no knock raid.

This is a 5 alarm fire and is getting NO coverage. Please read and pass it on.

The proposed MPD training center is duplicative, unnecessary, and reflects MPD’s wish list rather than the city’s public safety needs and realities. 47% of 911 calls could be diverted away from an MPD response but Frey has delayed and stalled progress on alternative responses.

Whales were really stressed when humans hunted them. But when whaling activities dropped during WWII, whales were more stressed. That's because sound travels far in the ocean, so it's super stressful when humans are busy bombing each other. War is bad for everyone. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The explicit object of this plan was genocide against the Irish and, for that matter, the Scottish, in order to systematically weaken resistance to English rule. Similar efforts were attempted in Scotland, they just failed miserably. So they just mass jailed the Scots and yeeted them to Australia.

This project regularly got low scores from CLIC, which is a non-partisan committee made up of community members across all wards. The ability of the Frey admin to not listen to community knows no limits.

Aviation safety is the canary in the coal mine for military readiness. Fires on an aircraft carrier are the fires in the mine

They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

Hypothesis on how his brain works re: regime change. Trump thinks that he embodies the state and the nation, and so he thinks that every other country's leader does the same. So if you kidnap Maduro, you beat Venezuela. You kill Khomeini, you beat Iran. Etc, etc.

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

It is the anniversary of the My Lai massacre today. I'd say that even more than most years, it's important to remember what happened. And the role Hugh Thompson, an active serviceman, played in both stopping and publicising it. Despite enormous military, political and public pressure to stay quiet.

I wrote about everything happening too much in 2026 and the rise of ‘monitoring the situation. How total bombardment is partly a surrender to the internet and its logic and algorithms—a kind of attentional death

He wasn't just an asylum seeker. Paktyawal was an Afghan special forces soldier who worked with the U.S. Army's 3rd Special Forces Group. He was evacuated on August 30, 2021, entered the U.S. legally and had a pending case with a work permit and social security number. Killed by ICE maggots.

"where are the student protestors now" as if they were not expelled, arrested, threatened, derided, abandoned, and deported. as if we didn't systematically punish what could have been our own next generation of active political leaders. jfc.

I for one believe the recent past and political orders are more relevant to shaping societies and cultures than primordial blood and soil ties to ancient Sassanians or Romans. People draw from the past, as they always did, what fits the needs of the present

Charlie Berens, who usually is a comedian, has gone really hard on data centers (including getting out the word on public input opportunities). He gave comment on one, noting that there’s more regulation on bratwurst than AI. More politicians should get in on this, tbh.

the man operates at a third grade reading level and has absolutely zero idea how literally anything works an even semi-competent political press would have made this relentlessly clear over the last decade

"it will help them not need social supports and social programs" This is Republican-style anti-government services bullshit language. EVERYONE needs social supports and social programs in this country BECAUSE CORPORATIONS IMPOSE MASSIVE SOCIAL COSTS THAT INDIVIDUALS CANNOT PAY FOR VIA TAX CUTS.

It’s basically criminology 101 that arrest quotas destroy civil liberties

Americans in the Netherlands organizing a 'No Kings' protest only to realize we live in a constitutional monarchy and changing the name to 'No Tyrants' will never not be funny to me.

This documented Sde Teman torture+abuse was the only major Gaza-related case pursued by the military prosecution. It led to the downfall of the military prosecutor herself - dismissed, charged, and tried to take her life. Her successor today closed the abuse case. apnews.com/article/isra...

I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/
