This is such a cringe read… in what bubble do some liberals live that this “human safari” experience is considered mindblowing and as a brave act of resistance similar to the White Rose? 😳

I need folks to understand that some people look at ChatGPT's role here & think "Who cares? That's a negligible loss of users." Some folks truly have mentally reduced every other human to numbers & transactions Do not focus on convincing those folks to be less awful. Spend that energy elsewhere.

Instead of spending all that time & energy explaining basic humanity to people who don't want to listen, consider finding someone who is already fighting the good fight & giving them a hug or a sandwich or help or something Maybe people who value humanity are just a better investment

UMN administration has not taken this simple step.

the rich want a genocide of the poor you can't change my mind

In the name of "fighting antisemitism," Indiana University appointed a Christian scholar to tell Jewish scholars what they can and cannot say - all while they invited Tucker Carlson to speak on campus. www.jta.org/2025/11/07/u...

sauron should do his best to move beyond the divisive, toxic style that has become the defining trait of middle-earth politics

i can’t even imagine taking a proper vacation by 40, much less buying a house

The company appears to be losing money — and lots of it. OpenAI reportedly brings in about $13 billion in annual revenue but plans to spend $1 trillion on infrastructure over the next 5 years, including the continued buildout of data centers that are already increasing energy costs for locals.

In "We Were The Lucky Ones" (true story of a Jewish family in Poland in WW2) the daughter learns her father has been detained. She puts on her most respectable dress to speak to camp guards, so they'll tell her the truth about if he's there. Look at this man, in his suit. How is this happening.

Sam Altman has killed orders of magnitude more people than Luigi Mangione.

Is it a good sign for the health of our country that the my law school dropped Constitutional Law as a required class?

The federal government is putting its full weight behind purging Black people from public life and the press and opposition party is silent as it does so.

literally the only thing these guys are good at is convincing tech-illiterate boomer politicians that their highly specialized tech company with no competitors is absolutely essential to the advancement of the human race, that is their only talent

We really need to make it much more unpopular to openly lie on the internet. There are zero reported cases of Mamdani supporters beating up Jewish people. This is just racism.

You can't even make this shit up

one of the (many) toxic dynamics in DC is the way Hill and agency staffers are constantly in close social and professional contact with lobbyists and lawyers who make 4x what they do, and the lifestyle inflation and status anxiety and career-exit paths that gap creates

people hate hearing this but it's 100% true, creating a huge pay gap between political leaders, their staffs, and other elites is a recipe for corruption. of course the flip side of that is taxes on the rich should be jacked way the hell up

I know someone in local politics, he had to move back in with his parents while serving cause he couldn’t afford to buy a house in town and if a landlord opposed him politically they could just kick him out

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

i have questions as to why due diligence didn’t happen when school admins signed these massive contracts, endangering their students

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

Jacob Frey still couldn't get more votes in 2025 than rent control did in 2021.

Walking an informational picket line with educators who are Minneapolis Federation of Educators union members. There is still time to avert a strike. Tell the school district its time to do the right thing and give the workers a contract.

i don’t study fascism and i’m not fucking leaving, this country belongs to us, not them, fuck you

This is amusing & it’s also to his credit that he didn’t trot out these old high school yearbook photos of his membership in the Judaic Culture club to try to respond to the attack from Cuomo etc.

Becka Thompson wins the Great Value Award for the council candidate with fewest dollars spent per vote received - $4.21. She still lost big to Aurin Chowdhury ($6.47). Shelley Madore ($62.31) outdid Lydia Millard ($42.59) for biggest spender per vote. Both of them lost big.

*cough* minneapolis *cough*

RIP Dick Cheney, you would have loved to see the Senate refuse to vote on constraining presidential authority to wage war against fishing boats he doesn't like

Picketing outside Justice Page MS today, 2 amazing 6th graders from “the Justice Pages” school newspaper that I advise stayed over an hour snapping pics and getting excited to see their teachers on the line. They care about us & know we’re there for them. Can’t wait to read what they write.

THIS IS THE THING Your sense of safety being threatened *has all happened under Frey*. More of the same is not going to change that. My god.

All these Democratic leaders born before the color TV was invented are simply incapable of understanding that respectability can be performed by people who are actually bad actors intent on destroying the republic. The constitution can be set aflame with pinky extended.

New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

You might not believe in it, but your Government believes in a war on the digital frontier. They fight this alongside a physical and spiritual war they believe they face. This one is about defining what truth is, and burning the Library of Alexandria to do it. One narrative, one story, one author.

The FBI has subpoenaed the domain registrar of archive.today, demanding information about the owner.

Minneapolis charter & commission understanders 1) have those nerds invalidated a citizens amendment placing term limits on mayors? I saw in 2023 they shot down recalls 2) what does charter say about councils ability to deal with a non/malfeasant mayor, for example charged with white collar crimes?

Mamdani got more than twice as many votes in NYC as CNN has prime-time viewers nationwide

it’s pretty hilarious to me the frey guys using the “fraud” lie against Fateh is the EXACT same playbook the republicans are beginning to build against walz, the man actually responsible for the oversight. it will be satisfying watching them reap what they sowed, for a lot of us.

5. I am saddened by the demise of the Mpls DFL and the majority of the blame for that rests at DFL HQ in Saint Paul. But there are many sub cliques within the party that prioritize their faction winning over the good of the overall team. Those disputes are turfy petty and disrupt a coalition.

Whole lot of soldiers on the precipice of class consciousness

map of America's "great red cities"

this isn’t an RCV issue. it’s a racism issue, a journalism issue, and a money in politics issue. the frey coalition is unique and it sucks and other conservative candidates might struggle to recreate it. but there are a lot of rich white conservative fuckwads who vote. that’s hard to beat.

Rudy Giuliani today

One of the things I’m proudest of in this campaign is the fact that a TON of the increased turnout this year came from Ward 9. Compared with 2021, we increased raw turnout by over 20%, from 6,983 in 2021 to *8,417* this year, a difference of 1,434 votes.

His energy and enthusiasm are contagious- when I was on Spiced Up Civics with @charliestdennis.bsky.social, he asked who one of my role models was, and I said Michael because of that vigor and drive. We need more people like Michael in our city and in leadership. People who care and give.

I *wish* we could explain away a third term for jacob Frey as ranked choice voting’s fault. That would be weirdly comforting to me! But sometimes the truth is simpler—and pretty uncomfortable. We don’t do uncomfortable here. 🙁

For everyone who is celebrating my victory, please know I wish more than anything that Michael could be joining me on the MPRB. Not just because we share common goals and vision, but because he is a genuinely kind human being. He and his team helped carry my campaign when I was in the hospital.

Contact the school board today! Picket with teachers Thursday! Rally with families on Friday!

Minneapolis public schools might be closed due to strike next TUESDAY Nov 11th. I support the MFE demands and want the district to settle the contracts and avoid the strike! Here’s your School Board rep finder. Call and email to tell them to settle this week. boardfinder.mpschools.org
