This guy's been the main character for 10 years despite being corrupt, incompetent, pedophile, racist, rapist, traitor, war criminal and would-be autocrat. Because we're governed by cowards and the media treats him like the voice of "Real America", we've been burdened for what feels like eternity.

Worth noting that one reason you’re benefitting so fully from the Star-Tribune’s timely, extensive coverage of unfolding events is that it’s a metro newspaper that hasn’t been systematically starved to further enrich shareholders and executives.

Guys nothing personal but if you rub your a.i. generated anti-ICE, anti-Trump memes in my face I gotta unfollow and mute you and also you’re dead to me. It’s the sewage that fascism both shits and eats, it’s like blowing smoke in my face to show me how evil the tobacco companies are.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.

If folks were honest with themselves they would understand that the point of AI is to inhibit your ability to think. The end of human thinking is the goal of those who create AI. This isn't even a secret, I suppose.

Something a little different. Some cartoonists put out a call for comics about local ICE experiences. This one happened a few months ago so it's a little older than current events, but it's a story that I never stopped thinking about.

This is gonna sound harsh but you gotta stop talking to these hicks out in bumfuck towns. I know these people. They know less than nothing, it all comes from newsmax and facebook. They live in a fantasy world and everything they have is because of the cities they hate. They aren’t real Americans.

If there’s a better obituary for an evil cartoonist than an A.I. generated version of his character that fucks up the defining detail of its design, I can’t think of it. No notes. 👨🏻🍳 💋

There should have been an effort to expel the ~140 reps who still voted against certifying the 2020 election results even after the failed coup under the 14th Amendment's insurrection clause. Dem. leadership's failure to treat the GOP as the domestic enemy that it is has doomed us for decades.

After they cleared the Capitol, Congress had to go back to vote to finish certifying the election. More than 100 Republicans, including my Rep, Nicole Malliotakis, continued to challenge the election results. It was a mistake not to expel all of them from the House.

Substitute "bike lane" "public plaza" "open street" "road diet" "busway" "traffic calming installation" etc for "congestion pricing" & the headline still works The freakout always precedes the benefits, and is proven wrong on the ground

Hochul initially delayed the launch of the tolls in 2024 until after the presidential election, but now celebrates them as a political win.

The way the press is treating chatbots, like they have agency and they “know” things all of a sudden, crossed the line recently from dumb and obsequious to something else entirely. Treating them as alive and making conscious decisions is an almost religious belief. It won’t age well.
