Minneapolis is the capital of the U.S. right now. Random middle aged aunties on the ground there are showing more physical and moral courage in one volunteer shift than Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries have in their entire lives combined.

the other day my 8yo said Spanish was his third language. then he counted "uno, dos, tres..." all the way up to "nueve" and then said "uh, i forget." i said "diez?" and this kid straight up replied "diez nuts"

Signal will never message you like this. If you get a message like this, SOMEONE IS TRYING TO HACK YOUR SIGNAL. DO NOT GIVE THEM THAT CODE.

part of this is like, conservatives projecting; part of this is conservatives unable to imagine politics without money; and part of this is dudes who are so out of touch with feminized labor that they think children's birthday parties exist as a spontaneous act of parthogenesis

I ported Super Monkey Ball to a website. You can access it in the replies. (or just type what you see in the video, I'm not your boss.)

This is the single funniest excuse he could have come up with for not wanting to be booed in public

"Why don't these Minnesotans cower in fear like I, and therefore all sensible people, would do?"

Damn proud of Minnesota.

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk. Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared. Well, here’s a link: georgetown.box.com/v/Vladeck-IC...

I know it's hard to track all the threats to democracy out there right now, but this is at the top of the list.

Spoke to Greg Ketter, owner of DreamHaven Books, just now. He’s grateful for all the book orders & knows the store’s site is struggling w/ the demand. Employees coming Monday to reboot the site & pack orders. There are so many that it may take a few extra days so please be patient & keep fighting. ✊🏽

The National Guard is still patrolling DC, carrying handguns & long rifles, patrolling vibrant community spaces in packs to intimidate residents, especially Black residents, of the city. Keep that in mind as you see the videos of them handing out pizza & coffee in MN.

They put an advertisement on a fucking apple Not on an Apple computer On a piece of fruit

yeah i generally think that there's mounting evidence that the trump admin does not actually think that the troops are willing to be the boot on people's necks like they're hoping.

i'm completely serious, you gotta stop following altnps. altnps is a fake altgov account that regularly steals from actual journalists and people actually on the scene with no credit and uses genAI to write fictionalized accounts of ICE raids on american cities. it's infowars but for liberals.

My kid got bit at school today and they sent home a "biting incident report" and I nearly lost it when I saw these checkboxes

If you think kidnapping American citizens is the best possible evidence that this is about white supremacy not immigration, may I introduce you to the fact that they are kidnapping literal Indigenous people

Crowd is massive, now overflowing Congress Plaza and taking up a block-long stretch of Michigan Avenue. Reminder: this event was only announced yesterday.

Quite a statement by the Republican governor of Vermont

Reporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands…. Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those

Every dictatorial thing he wants to do becomes harder the more people hate him.

I know people are justifiably anxious about the insurrection act and elections, but remember that every move he makes craters his popularity, he refuses to take off ramps, and every time they double down it makes an already impossible task even more difficult

Walz: "If it was the intention of Donald Trump to make an example of Minnesota, then I'm damn proud of the example that the world is seeing"

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know. This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

Wolves have a moment of silence for Alex Pretti, after seven seconds of silence several fans yell "FUCK ICE"

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

hey everybody lifelong tech expert here > "system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility that's not how anything works they're lying and destroying evidence hope that helps

www.instagram.com/reel/DT8p19d... The Minnesota National Guard, seen here at the Whipple building, supporting protesters by giving out coffee, donuts, and hot chocolate. And they seem happy to be doing it. This is the support Minnesota needs from their government.

jules they can't do this in one city and does it look like they are effectively suppressing dissent

I would like to gently request that AI pharmacy bots stop trying to kill my mother

If you have seen your favorite sex subreddit become abolish ICE overnight please DM me so I can write about it for The Verge dot com ✨

If you feel like paying respects be aware that 26th and Nicollet is awash in cops, undercover feds, out of town streamers, right wing agitators and act accordingly.

Hi, authoritarianism scholar here! To answer your question, no, these are terrible choices to make if one wanted to consolidate an authoritarian regime. In fact, I'd go so far as to say these choices are based on the flawed logic that enough repression will cause people to give up and stop... (1/n)

I have never seen a community of people so united and so committed to helping each other in the face of something so terrible, in my decades of reporting on terrible things. The people of Minneapolis are all in this together, legit. You can feel it and see it everywhere. It's incredible.

The Trump administration has arguably ruined its chances to consolidate power and establish one-party rule. My question is: have they also ruined it for the next person who tries, or just for themselves?

I made a Sporcle quiz years ago based on the same premise as this. share.google/vsmUPWvSv7kJ...

People keep saying the codenames in Metal Gear Solid sound like Megaman X bosses, so I decided to give them actual designs. Matches the scale of my other X mockups. Something I've been sitting on for several years that I finally decided to wrap up tonight. #megaman #pixelart #ドット絵

There are some people who get into politics because they genuinely want to help people. Tim Walz is one. Zohran Mamdani appears to be another.

strange to me that a lot of people on this website simultaneously agree that the administration is run by incompetents who struggle to carry out their agenda without major political blowback AND that they’ll pull off a complex and sophisticated effort to rig elections and prevent defeat in November

After reading this press release, I never want to see the word "enhanced" again.

it's equal parts great and bizarre to see someone in office who seems genuinely proud to be a public servant

ton of factors at play here and trying to boil it down to any one on it’s own will be inherently missing stuff- but it really is hard not to notice that once the victim is an average looking white man all the average looking white men in charge of the news realized they can just tell the truth

Well, well, well….
