What has happened to DOJ is beyond sad. It is the loss of institutional memory and a reputation of integrity that will take decades to restore.

General reminder that your local cops also do this to women they've arrested. Like, all the time, in fact! Turns out giving men a gun and a uniform and ultimate authority over others tends to enable bad behavior, who knew

This letter from 131 (and counting) Jewish faculty and staff tells the Trump Administration we oppose efforts to attack UCLA in our name. Text linked in comments.

For anyone up late and eager to be pissed off: Ohio Republicans have introduced a bill that would require every pregnancy to be registered with the state and given a "certificate of life" jessica.substack.com/p/ohio-gop-w...

It is outrageous to hire people into the incredibly powerful and meaningful position of AUSA right out of law school. They should clerk for a year.

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

Those with Covid vaccine had an overall significantly lower mortality rate from all causes than the unvaccinated, even excluding Covid-related deaths, and despite the fact that the vaccinated cohort was older and had more co-morbidities. That's a big, huge win!

If there is a hell, Paul Ehrlich is in it.

I don't have a poker face either, Susie, it's ok.

In the last two weeks, 1% of new NSF awards were in biology. Just one grant of 97. One. Biology in the US is on hold until there’s a regime change.

Can someone make a GIF of Susie rolling her eyes at 0:34-0:38?

I feel so sick reading this. Our government is murdering people on the other side of the world and slowly, torturously here at home. Andrea - and everyone held in these evil, unlawful camps - deserves freedom.

Herbert Hoover's birthplace

A total collapse. The National Institutes of Health went from 756 funding announcements published to 14 in two years. One example of the effects: emerging threats will become harder to address quickly. Response to future health emergencies (like Covid) will be slower and less coordinated.

It has declined?!

I’d use flex posts to give the illusion it’s safe to cross

Prolonged Strait of Hormuz standoff will close in on America's generic drug prescriptions

Possible news you can use: CVS probably not getting destroyed today either

So not only are MN corporations like Delta refusing to stand with us against ICE they're actually profiting off the ongoing occupation of the Twin Cities.

It had never occurred to me that when the news becomes the sport that people bet on it’s the journalists who take the abuse that players have been getting for years, but it looks like that’s the case

The Morrill fire, currently at 570,000 acres burned and 0% contained, is probably the country's 5 or 6th largest wildfire since the middle of the last century and still burning. High winds with gusts over 40mph continue in western Nebraska.

Prepped tomorrow’s dinner, made breakfast sandwiches, cleaned out the whole pantry and used the last of the holiday Chex mix supplies, & made my mom’s cheesecake with a terribly written recipe. Still have to make tonight’s dinner 😴

remember, Minneapolis Public Schools has to have an e-learning day tomorrow because after the federal government executed Renee Good in broad daylight, they moved over to Roosevelt HS were they used weapons of war against educators, students & community. Mpls had to shelter in place for 2 days.

This snow apparently killed our EGO 😫

Huh, what's that racist crime watch page up to? Jfc

Here's how Rachel Maddow talks about Sevareid's experience in the 1930s. Note how his editor is like "dude, you've got to be making this up. There aren't any fascists in Minneapolis." And then the editor goes to a meeting himself and is like "fuck man, give me a drink. What did I just see?"

Still thinking about him

I always forget this meme. It’s helping me deal with Facebook comments this morning.

sometimes I wonder why everyone on here is so on edge all the time and then I remember that we are all living with a constant stream of horrors going by too fast for any of us to process

Pro tip for those of you who have driveways or corners to clear: the plow spew from this storm is NASTY. Keep an eye out so you can clear it before it turns into concrete.

So, is there or is there not a travel advisory?

Absolutely gutting story on Annunciation parents pouring their souls into enlightening legislators, knowing they’d the GOP brick wall. But the piece contains one of the most horrifying paragraphs an American parent could read; it will stay with me: www.startribune.com/in-living-ro... (gift)

Anyone else struggling with disagreements and escalations in their chats? Pivoting to what is next is really hard.

Your semi-regular reminder that a Twin Cities weather feed exists and you can pin it up top for easy access and updates. Local mets + weather news + anything tagged with #mnwx (and use the tag if you’ve just been on the road! Wondering what the driving conditions are like at the moment…)

Jesus christ.

This is absolutely bonkers and infuriating. Must-read reporting by ProPublica.

Gentile Americans, please know this. The far-right government in Israel doesn’t give one single shit about American Jews, but they fucking love evangelical Christians.

Quinn Hughes eyes if I ever saw them.

Monitoring e bike speeds before drivers doing double the speed limit down the parkway? 😞

Friends if you were NOT checking every single reference when peer-reviewing, you sure as hell better be doing it now.

Even the racists are getting upset that the media isn't calling it racism
