You have to be truly fucking clueless about the Democratic party for this to surprise or disappoint you. It’s 2026. Grow up.

But we all saw another American shot and killed in broad daylight. There must be accountability, and so we must keep pushing Republicans to work with us to rein in DHS.

This is so smart of the New York Public Library.

Haidt is the man Wes Streeting selected to give evidence for his social media ban. He is spreading the widely-discredited pseudoscience about trans “social contagion”. Is it transphobia that is the root his proposed social media ban?! If so he is a looong way down the conspiracy theory rabbit-hole.

Short answer: Don’t know, don’t care. Stop fixating on DT and pay attention to the systems enabling this administration’s antidemocratic acts.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

Do we need to say it louder? Here. Louder. " Federal courts in Alabama are using a law last applied during the U.S. internment [incarceration] of people of Japanese descent during World War II to charge immigrants who don’t register themselves..." www.al.com/news/2026/01...

Today's Reliable Sources lead: It's all about the video, in Minnesota and beyond. 📸 📱 In clips from Minneapolis, the city looks like it's under military occupation. Almost every TV segment features viral video footage of ICE. Almost every article cites the footage too… cnn.it/3YCCOM6

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning. I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

Indeed. Though the Scandinavian-Americans of the area are prone to lowering expectations to avoid tempting fate.

When I said I wanted to catastrophize less in 2026, i did not mean i wanted all the bad things in my head to become real, to be clear

Hello from Minnesota. They want to shut us up. Have they ever MET a Minnesotan? All we DO is talk.

Its not that the media is not covering what is happening, but it does feel like the military occupation of an American city should be treated as a national crisis.

My sign today.

ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis or we WILL lock up our own citizens

"Being a man" is not the same thing as being a misogynist or an oppressor. That's what misogynists want men to believe, because they want men to think they can't divest from patriarchy without losing their entire identity.

”I’m in such deep lutefisk,” sighed Andy. (EJ Russell, Nudging Fate)

My longest “this would fix me” that I haven’t yet tried. (Spoiler: the things I’ve tried haven’t fixed me. )

I live in Minnesota. I’m going to my kid’s school when it lets out today. Parents are making sure kids get safely to buses and cars so they get home. We’ll be filming. We’ll be there to protect our children from our government. It’s come to that. I expect it will be a huge crowd.

I appreciate a lot of us will think "they've always been like this" but the utter moral decay on the right in the last few years has been notable. A shift from love the sinner, hate the sin fig leaf to "yeah, kill she/her, haha, pronouns in bio."

“To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.” —Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey

First CES panel. Intuit CMO Thomas Ranese is proud of his company's integration with OpenAI, which involves giving AI read/write access to tax data. Since prompt injection attacks are unavoidable, I asked him who will be liable when customer data is exposed: Intuit, OpenAI, etc? He had no idea.

"A petition circulated by AAUP demands the admin release full details on the processes that led to Curth’s suspension, publicly affirm faculty’s right to teach & research free from political interference & help develop a “harassment response and prevention plan” for responding to political attacks."

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

“To make this a negotiation between the Trump administration and regents and lawyers as opposed to an open conversation and debate between faculty and a government that’s essentially acting like an authoritarian regime, I think is a mistake.” — Veena Dubal, AAUP General Counsel

Every time someone says "I can't write X, editors will never buy it" an angel loses its wings Those shining adamantine feathers, sharper than death, slice all creatures in their path to molecule-thin ribbons, blood raining down onto acres of land rendered poisonous for decades. So maybe reconsider

Members of the Seattle-area Somali community say they are reeling from the impact of President Donald Trump’s rhetoric — he recently referred to Somali Americans as “garbage” — and from an immigration crackdown that has sent people to detention or left them unable to work.

The House of Representatives is considering a bill that would limit the Trump administration's ability to exploit state and local police to carry out mass deportations. Tell Congress to vote yes on this bill and protect our communities.

My Whitman College sorority held a tea at an alum’s gracious home (stop judging me!) and right after I left, the alum’s good friend Adam West stopped by for a visit.

Passersby are “unreliable”? You mean they don’t voluntarily take time out of whatever they’re doing to go up to a car that’s not theirs, that is probably tracking everything that happens, and fix the unanticipated problem of the door being left open?

Once you realize where they're coming from, it all makes sense: www.psypost.org/transgender-...

That Epstein/Nassar letter is bringing out the worst true-crime-fan instincts in a lot of folks. It’s okay to say that you don’t know if it’s real, and that you have neither the data nor the expertise to weigh in productively.
