Maybe Trump misspoke when he said only his "morality" could limit his plans for #SuperpowerSuicide. He has no morals. Maybe he'd meant to say "mortality", which thanks to his lack of exercise and excess of waistline is clearly on his mind #FraudianSlip www.facebook.com/reel/1225903...

So, if I'm following all this correctly, a bunch of internet shitposters who spent years screaming "don't tread on me" and warning about federal agents stomping out people's rights... have been hired as ICE agents to go around breaking into people's homes, kidnapping & shooting them

JB Pritzker: “They're going after people for being brown & black. They're going after people who are U.S. citizens — they're going after people who've done nothing wrong. They do it under the guise of saying that this is about the worst of the worst — but it isn’t”

Our allies are literally doing troop buildups against us Putin is loving this

the wildest thing is right-wingers acting like minnesotans in videos must be outside agitators when we can all hear their accents. i don't think i could do that accent convincingly if i spent a year practicing. and neither would i wish to. have you heard that shit? craziest american accent

Is anyone working on combining data-centre cooling with desalination? If not, but you personally make a fortune doing this, please feel free to fund my chair at Hertie School :-)

don't worry! They'll all eventually consolidate into one giant, unethical, environmentally unsound company because we no longer have working regulators!

I posted this reply to a VERY funny cartoon that was similar to this one: theweek.com/cartoons/the... Unfortunately, it vanished less than 60 seconds later.

Just posting this again for no reason: 🏅

of course

Bro, people are going to build entire lives around the neighbors they’ve found in these anti-ICE signal chats. Marriages, lifelong friendships, weird hobbies. It is actually breaking my brain. I am almost crying in the club (chat).

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely. That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.

A federal judge — a Reagan appointee — handling a lawsuit over the deportation of pro-Palestinian activists excoriated top administration officials, including Trump, for trampling on the First Amendment and for what the judge described as a fearful approach to freedom.

How to fireproof a city

An honest headline would read: "Death of man at ICE camp SHOULD be investigated as homicide..." This homicide was not an isolated incident. At least 32 people were killed in ICE detention in 2025. Several others died days after being released after horrible mistreatment.

He had multiple opportunities to prevent this and deliberately pissed them away.

And there it is. All your fault, Minnesota, that there will be no midterm elections....

It's about inciting a race war and then using the Insurrection Act to destroy democracy one city at a time.

How Trump Is Using Violent Tragedies to Divide America.

As a social movements scholar, I absolutely love the diversity of tactics being developed by each city, reflecting their local flavor Portland kept it weird with inflatable costumes Chicago protected its street vendors by buying up their food each day Charlotte chased ICE agents into the woods

A useful report on how Brits are responding to Elon Musk and Grok (from two of the smartest political pundits in the U.K.). @therestpolitics.bsky.social youtu.be/OL8KxdniVZs?...

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Here’s the Brookings study, starting at their promotional or executive summary. The full PDF is on this page in PDF form. www.brookings.edu/articles/a-n...

The WH cited negative net migration as a win. This was reported by Brookings in a study called: The macroeconomic implications of immigration flows in 2025 and 2026 The part the WH omitted: “Reduced migration will dampen growth in the labor force, consumer spending, and gross domestic product”

A dedicated AI complaint portal could serve as a one-stop shop for consumers to share their experiences with different AI companies and tools, filling information gaps for state enforcers, Kevin Frazier writes.
