Can't make it tomorrow morning? Send an email now: bit.ly/pauseevictions

Tomorrow we’re taking up Pause Evictions Save Lives, a policy that will temporarily extend pre-eviction notice from 30 to 60 days until August 31st. This will give residents more time to get resources and support so that families can stay together and we can keep people in their homes.

Reminder that many U.S. military bases have schools on-site and adjacent to them because, like most countries, military and civilian personnel working at and around bases have kids.

You know, a known risk of using LLMs for operational planning is that they will treat outdated information as equally valid to current information, and they aren’t good at allowing real-time user input “train” them to preference current information over the older information they were trained on.

Went to hang with the hippies of Powderhorn. Super cool human mosaic, holding cards to aerial shot . The orange card has a beautiful poem from Bao Phi Third pic is what it looked like from above

You have until March 31 for this amazing donation drive to support families in Minnesota, with a ticket raffle to see BTS in LA on 9/2! 💜💜💜 #bangtantixhelp

NEW: I and colleagues reviewed 15,000 documents to illuminate how Jeffrey Epstein used VIP doctors to control and manipulate young women* — and how the doctors helped him, treating his needs as more important than the patients'. Gift link. *see next post in thread

This, from Ada Palmer as part of The Chronicle's survey of 11 scholars on the future of higher ed, is what I needed to end the week.

this is fucking beautiful y'all that's over $10k for emergency cash support for BIPOC trans folks in Portland plus a combined $15k+ to keep ICE-impacted Twin Cities families fed and in their homes sometimes the world is a really good place, actually

some amazing news to start the weekend with!

Final final point. Go support the Lynx and Aurora, teams that aren’t chickenshit and stand up for what’s right

So impressed and blessed for all the brands reaching out to support. thousand and more companies offered to donate product and my team gunna get to it. 🙏🏾🙏🏾 BUT if you a billion dollar company,,, we don’t want a product donation. We want you to sponsor these women + athletes. 👀

She also has just as many super bowl wins as Boomer, and 3 more Gold medals.

I thought this was a joke about how poorly Brady Tkachuk handled the last few days but no this is actually just a fully accurate description of what he just did in a hockey game that’s happening right now

Reminder you can just watch all the PWHL’s games on YouTube. No cable, no streaming needed. Here’s tonight’s game www.youtube.com/live/T4JKvp-...

"We try to get as close as possible to the Olympic Torch (for clout), and the 100% polyester lining of our Ralph Lauren coat catches fire. No one calls for help, because they think it’s some artistic commentary on 'the state of things in America.'"

I miss real people doing jobs. This is such an obvious mistake.

This reminds me Marlon Byrd specifically going up to Dale Scott (first out gay ump), hugging him, and going, “You’re free.”

The #Mariners' Josh Naylor provided a nice moment Tuesday by greeting history-making umpire Jen Pawol before stepping into the box. "It’s not hard to be inclusive and welcoming and happy. I think it could change the world.” (via @shannondrayer.bsky.social) sports.mynorthwest.com/mlb/seattle-...

I've written up a brief script for anyone who wants to call or write your representatives regarding this bill (yes, even the ones you think won't care). PLEASE DO THIS IF YOU ARE ABLE. This bill *cannot* pass. You can find your representatives here: www.congress.gov/members/find...

proceeds from sales of bench pressed’s “FUCK ICE” snowplow design shirt are going to rent relief funds for minnesotans today and saturday 2/28, both in store and online!! benchpressed.com/collections/...

Colorado borders Kansas. Here is a Colorado non-profit that helps trans people relocate, Trans Continental Pipeline. Please share. tcpipeline.org

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school. They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

Thank you for standing with MN and supporting our neighbors! The next Minneapolis immigrant family I’m adopting the rent for has a total rent need of $2400. Can you help them stay housed today? V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater Please share and give if you can! Thank you! 🥹

so fun fact: recently during the fraud investigations being redone by this season’s feds, MN’s rate of medicaid/medicare fraud was well below the national average nationally, it’s ≈ 6% each year; in minnesota it’s like ≈ 2.5% we know this is vindictive at this point

i hate when my brain is like "hey boss here's that massive spike of directionless anxiety you didn't order"

This stunt where ICE releases people far from home with no proper clothing and no way home should be treated as attempted homicide. In this case, actual homicide. These cases are not accidental or based on misunderstandings. They are deliberate attempts to inflict bodily harm.

Current state of affairs in Southwest Minneapolis: students are too scared to wait at bus stops and parents need help getting their kids to school. (This reflects crowdsourced data that show many ICE observations at bus stops)

I'd like to see more people understanding ace and aro are twos separate things and not are not to be paired together by default. People seem to assume (irl and fiction) that ace means "Asexual AND Aromantic" I want to see more ace characters who aren't aro, and more aro characters who aren't ace.

ACLU MN reported yesterday that the federal government filed sworn statements that there are 970 agents in Minnesota for Operation Metro Surge & that 407 agents will remain here in March. It’s important to note this is on top of the 190 agents that were already assigned before this surge started.

Working with the Adopt a Rent program on standwithminnesota.com, I’m adopting another rent. Total rent need for this Minneapolis immigrant family is $1864. Can you help them stay housed? V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater Please share and give if you can! Thank you! 🌷

Letz go even bigger and better,,, ALL Female US Olympians and Paralympian medalists are invited out to celebrate in Viva Las Vegas for the SHE GOT GAME Weekend ,,, Hit a guy up and LETZ GOOO

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as “pulled a Target.” They pulled a Target.

Here’s the thing about folks speedrunning the creative process with AI: I could go to the beach every morning and put a grain of sand in a cup. They’d take their cup to the beach and fill it one day; but the point isn’t to have a cup of sand. It’s to fill my life with a thousand trips to the beach.

donations to rent funds have dropped dramatically from last month and the needs are greater, as some families are now 2-3 months behind. working on this feels like trying to bail water from the titanic with buckets. but we just keep doing it.

i am so tired of screaming from the rooftops that we have a looming, avoidable crisis of evictions brewing. everyone knows it, but yet government and philanthropy have no solutions. unpaid volunteers of rent funds are doing the work that the people who control the purse strings refuse to do

It never ceases to confound me just how many folks think the point of essays is to provide teachers with essays. That teachers just like, collect them, or need them for sustenance or something. Rather than the point of them being the *actual fucking act of learning how to think about shit*

Looking for more donations to help our Columbia Heights neighbors. Rent is due again soon and many people are still sheltering at home. Unable to work or shop for themselves out of fear. Donate to heightsnext.org/donate/ And put "mutual aid" in the comments. @mostlybree.kitrocha.com

St. Paul Public Schools parents group needs about $63k more to keep 174 families housed. March is soon, rent will be due. Can you chip in? Can you share?

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

"It is not a coincidence that Epstein was also interested in crypto, in AI, in right-wing populism, in trad Cath extremists, and anti-trans ideology, ... Epstein gravitated toward fields and figures that rank humans, explain away cruelty, or biologize inequality."

I wanted to write about all the structural responses we needed, but only focused on school issues today. But read this.

shit gets waaaay more complicated & expensive when people lose their housing — especially if they’re unable to avoid the eviction filing in the courts, even more if there’s an unlawful detainer filed because that is like a scarlet letter when trying to get housing again absolute domino effect

Tim Walz isn't declaring an eviction moratorium in Minnesota, so many families affected by ICE are at risk of eviction in a few days. Please donate to the rent funds at keepMNhoused.com if you have some scratch.

Remember when people cared about learning loss?
