Hear me out...if we publish the Epstein Files *in Spanish* will MAGA finally get upset about them?

So, first of all, of course it was Trump. But even if they were telling the truth, "We give staffers who post videos of the Obamas as apes access to the agenda-setting, decree-sending, market-moving account of the president of the United States" is not the exculpatory statement they think it is.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.

MacKenzie Scott has the chance to do the funniest thing right now.

the average billionaire is far more of a threat to the american family than 100,000 immigrants

“It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. For me it's the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you're going to put them.” — Mayor of Pontevedra, Spain (re-elected 6 times)

I've reread this like 3 times. Freed herself from slavery by running away, *went back a week later bc the slaver was talking shit, set his house on fire, and then escaped again is absolutely incredible queen shit

All of this.

If our "environmental protection" frameworks can stop an affordable housing project but can't stop a detention center or a highway expansion we really need to start talk about ripping things up root and branch.

I double majored in HR and business but my 2 fav classes where business ethics (taught by a hippie that played Simon & Garfunkel) and Intro to Music that was such a lovely, artistic class. It was the breath of fresh air I needed twice a week to keep going.

Good afternoon from San Francisco.

Keith Porter Jr’s family demands accountability for his murder by an off duty alleged ICE agent. #BlackskyNews www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

They're throwing Bovino out of the moving vehicle in the hopes that we'll abandon the pursuit. Keep the foot on the gas.

Remember when the Bundy militia had snipers in position and pointing their weapons at feds and not one person ended up being shot or even criminally charged? Remember that?

They like cops so much that all we’re getting is cops. No roads, no bridges, no school funding, no culture money, just a bouquet of different types of cops

no need to imagine. we have years of evidence already.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

I need you all to understand something for those of you who think you know what this black woman who has lived in racist America really thinks. I know this is hard for you all, but some of us saw this coming for years, decades even. So understand, I am not being snarky. I am grieving.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

I’m so proud of Minnesota. I understand why some people belittle protests as not enough, but I really think this shit matters. I saw a clip on Fox News and they had to admit thousands of people showed up. It’s not going to stop Trump, but it’s a signal to your neighbors that they’re not alone.

The funny thing about this standard MAGA response to protest is that in this case not only is it once again a lie, but the people they’re protesting — immigration officers — are literally paid agitators and chaos agents from out of state.

The Senate is on recess this whole week. The Senators could all be in Minneapolis right now, riding with ICE patrols, speaking out about what's happening, and standing up for what's right. That they are not is a choice.

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

this is what it has come to for Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities

one of the best things about this whole nightmare has been watching a whole bunch of folks who have clearly never been seriously political in their lives standing up and going, no, absolutely the fuck not, we’re not letting this happen

As a historian of Manifest Destiny I should have some sort of witty response to this, but I cannot believe that the MAGAites are embracing a history of violence and dispossession so enthusiastically. Our history of "acquiring new lands" is littered with massacres of the prior inhabitants.

And we thank them for their service

Boom

AFAIK, there has only been one shooting that resulted in a death in Minneapolis so far this year, which came at the hands of ICE.

“It is that time of year again. Please consider choosing a trans girl scout to get your cookies from this year—the kids are under attack this year more than ever, so let’s give them some joy.” www.erininthemorning.com/p/2026-trans...

Same bro

even ignoring all other evidence showing that trans sports bans are about discriminating against trans people, not protecting cis women... I'm supposed to believe that the Supreme Court that overturned Roe v. Wade and has two justices credibly accused of sexual misconduct cares about womens rights?

Upon leaving my apartment for the first time since Thursday (thanks flu), I immediately hear Katie Wilson's voice wafting over from the anti ICE protest at Cal Anderson park this afternoon.

This question is victim-blaming. "Don't you bear any responsibility for not angering your abuser? Why are you doing things that provoke him, especially when you know he's been drinking? Wouldn't it be easier to just make him a sandwich in silence?"

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

The ICE agent who murdered Renee Good must be prosecuted for murder. He enjoys no immunity from state murder charges. Then, Blue state governors must call up their National Guard to protect us from the armed ICE terrorists. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Yes, this is exactly the time to demand Democrats "do something." They can denounce Trump's actions as unconstitutional. They can state that he must be impeached and removed. They can make clear that all involved will be held accountable. These are the core duties of a role they all signed up for.

I’m at Times Square, where an emergency “No War On Venezuela” protest just took to the street. Easily a thousand people here in real-feel 20°F weather. “No more coups, no more wars, Venezuela’s not yours!” “No boots on the ground no bombs in the air, U.S. out of everywhere!”

There are some "cheers" up top, but I truly don't get the point of running random complaints about the city, particularly from people who "never" come here and don't live here!

Rail $395 million Public transit $753 million Debt $1.7 billion Highway upgrades $5.3 billion someone who is good at transportation planning please help me budget this. my state is dying

330 million people in this country and the guy we listen to about energy policy in the New York Times is a blogger with a bachelor's degree in philosophy who's never had a real job? This is not a serious country.

All my solutions came when I stopped trying to be the answer

Zohran: "I mean, think about when you fly.  We have made it such a difficult experience to go through TSA that there's now a financial incentive to sign up for a separate program that can move you through it quicker. We have monetized the dysfunction."

Australia will start a gun buyback program to take surplus, newly-banned and illegal firearms off the street, following the terror attack in Bondi Beach which left 15 people dead

You mean like the whole trump admin???

and the first step to being a parent is recognizing that your children are their own people, not extensions of you
