This « interview » now has me asking, what line of questioning would lead Temu-Göring here to have a rage-induced hemorrhagic stroke?

Francesca Gino has been proven to be a complete and utter academic fraud, and this absolute piece of trash thinks he's gonna "clear her name?" GTFOHWTS. Of all the attacks on higher ed that were easy to see coming, this wasn't one of them for me at least.

Congratulations Minneapolis! @elliottpayne.org is a leader!

Once again, Minneapolis (& greater Twin Cities metro): check in with your neighbors. Get involved.

Multiple officials told them that the total federal presence could involve roughly 2,000 agents over the course of the month-long deployment. I condemn this federal action meant to cause fear, tear families apart, and cause pain across our community. 2/

As a former Craps player, a couple observations. 1) always playing only the « safest » bets, one will never achieve a truly big win. 2) doing so will eventually drain your entire bankroll of political capit…I mean cash.

Elect @smith.senate.gov for Governor

Melissa Hortman would have been a great governor.

US Military being used to « arrest » leaders of other countries (and their families) means we should expect the military will also be used to « arrest » US Citizens. Paramilitary forces are already doing so, of course.

Didn't 40 people die? Were any of them our troops? Why hasn't anybody asked that question?

Car crash deaths are an example of our refusal to adopt obvious policy improvements that would save lives!

literally how many members of congress have done this much? Where's the list? Which newspaper has a list of names with a checkmark next to them?

Even if you didn’t agree with, or believe, the premise of the war in Iraq you at least knew what it was. But 99% of Americans are waking up this morning and saying “We did WHAT? Why?” That seems significant.

“Well… we can’t just keep filing impeachment articles all the time.” Yes you can! If the man is committing impeachable offenses on the regular, you’re acquiescing to a standard that raises the bar for impeachable offense to absurd levels.

Local advocacy is more important than ever. It's overwhelming to think about how to fix [motions to everything] but I can make it safer for seniors to cross the street, for kids to bike to school, for people to have places to meet in public space... all of which build and strengthen our democracy.

@amyklobuchar.com @smith.senate.gov @mccollum.house.gov Please read this and say the words today. It matters to your constituents. It matters to the world.

The Chair of the DNC telling us that dems have no plans to do anything until Nov 2026. They view this as nothing more than something they can campaign on to win elections.

Rep. Al Green was right.

has a SINGLE member of congress commented yet on the fact x dot com — which nearly all members of congress use — is generating alleged child sex abuse material?

Concur that this is one of the best and highest uses of The Phone.

Seems the French are starting to go after X over the obscene image generation www.reuters.com/technology/f...

If you're sincere about rooting out fraud, send teams of investigators and prosecute. If you want to put a whole lot of innocent people in danger and stoke hate for an entire class of people, send social media teams trying to go viral. www.startribune.com/day-care-fra...

Here's an idea for 2026...

the only way it was able to do this is because, as everyone including elon and sam altman have known for years, the datasets for these AIs contain a lot of CSAM the fact that what just happened doesn't shut down twitter and have elon et al tried in court for allowing is fucking insane

Bob Cattenach probably #SaveOldSewers #SART

so x dot com’s ai generated CSAM and they admitted it may violate US law and … i haven’t seen in anyone in power say much at all or call to stop using the platform

In Saint Paul, Maverick’s Pizza is one of our favorites. (maverickspizza.com) Tonight we got a pie and they had changed something, maybe in the sauce, that gave it a great spicy bite, like adding red pepper flakes does. Between that and the Parmesan in the cheese, it’s better than ever! GET U SUM!

Hmm. Might be time for a Battlestar Galactica rewatch.

Democracy is a verb 👇👇👇👇👇

If you live in a car dependent community & are or become unable to drive, you are likely to be isolated, forced into dependence on unaccountable others (which, as well as forcing you to fit travel around their lives, also makes you more vulnerable to abuse) or forced out of your community entirely.

Thing about the fibrinolytic system is it’s a pretty delicate balance. I learned this in my mid 40s eating too much aspirin. Also, the evidence of cardiovascular benefits from even low dose aspirin is far more equivocal than most folks realize. See, e.g. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35570250/

So…a continuation of 2025

Get you friends who know how to properly decapitate a bottle of champagne in Arctic temperatures.

Happy new year, bicycle friends ❤️🚲

Now that the Star Tribune is apparently published in Iowa, will we be renaming that big bike ride STAGBRAI? *ducks*

These boys knew what was what on a cold day. Wishing you all warmth in the New Year. #SimplePleasures

If I were actually a free thinker who questioned everything I might get to wondering why my government tries to make me mad at Somalis every time something new comes out about Epstein

Shared values are of course important but even more than that, i think, is a shared sense of reality. When one political movement has abandoned any adherence to truth or scientific fact in pursuit of power at all costs, there is just no possibility of finding common ground on which to build anything

I'm in a hospital waiting room in Taiwan. They have mandatory universal masking in the hospital. Compliance is 100%. No one is complaining. Why are western countries so weird about masking to avoid spreading diseases? No wonder hospital-acquired illnesses are so high in the USA.

1-this is really good news. 2-what’s the equivalent discovery we won’t have due to Trump, Kennedy, Vought, and Musk?
