Like Nancy Reagan said, JUST SAY NO. No surveillance state!

Just priced a ticket on Delta, then logged in on the app to book it and got a price $150 higher. Searched in a different browser, got a third price. AI pricing is in full effect, and customer service completely denies it.

I used to walk home in the dark a couple blocks from the late bus stop in minus 10 degrees. You get used to it, even learn to like it. GO MINNESOTA! Now about those GOP reps ...

We know it’s harder to debunk a lie than to tell it. That's Brandolini's Law, also known as the Bullshit Asymmetry Principle. This is why the news media can’t keep up and leaves so many Trump lies unchallenged. But no one is forcing them to amplify Trump's lies in the first place. That’s a choice.

Indigenous view of buffalo: "We’re bringing them back, we’re bringing back that piece of ourselves."

Republicans in Congress could stop this at any moment.

Had not even thought of this. Hell yeah.

On the fence about what ICE is doing? WATCH THIS.

this is Minnesotan for "I am mad enough to bite through rebar"

Tribe citizens are outside ICE jurisdiction. Enrolled members are citizens of the United States by statute and citizens of the Oglala Sioux Nation by treaty. ICE is a criminal enterprise.

Trump’s persecution of Jerome Powell and his political opponents must end.

A voice we all need to hear.

SROs are first and foremost police officers. Having them in school settings means more kids get arrested — especially Black and brown students, or those with disabilities — rather than receiving tangible support. This doesn’t help students or make schools safer. Read more about why we oppose SROs ⬇️

“She was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in — like, his midriff was on her bumper — and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Happy New Year, Minnesota!

Here's an explainer on Israel's recognition of Somaliland.

The RSF militia, backed by the United Arab Emirates, has slaughtered countless civilians in Sudan. The US keeps selling arms to the UAE despite their support for these crimes. And Trump only cares about cutting deals with the Emiratis. Enough. No more weapons for war crimes.

A perverse contradiction: In the name of freedom and personal liberty, government policy has unleashed addictive vices that exert psychological control over Gen Z, enriching big porn, big gambling, and big weed.

In the spirit of peace on earth, good will toward all read this thread about un-Christian war-mongering.

To me, the Christmas message is that we should care for the needy and vulnerable. I don't understand people who think it means we should smash the car windows of immigrants, tear-gas neighborhoods and zip-tie children. May federal agents lose their masks and find their souls.

Trump Announces 5,000% Increase In All Numbers

Congratulations to the people of Chandler, AZ, who — despite a fierce lobbying campaign — defeated a massive AI data center that would have raised utility bills and drained scarce water. Oligarchs want working Americans to foot the bill while they profit. Not gonna happen!

Yes we CAN successfully push back against police tools invading our privacy.

If your culture wants to “stone gay people to death”, then there is something deeply wrong with your culture. My culture celebrates the child that is born with two-spirits.

Nice work by the @apnews.com photo desk with the devil horns. @orangefraud.bsky.social

It's about time local cops enforced the law regarding federal thugs.

Military personnel are part of the force that has issued 28,000 traffic citations in two months. People waiting in court are missing work. Officials are begging for bed linens. Inmates are sleeping in chairs. Memphis is a majority-Black city with a Republican governor.
