Example 1000 of these privately operated machines from Uber blocking access to sidewalks for pedestrians and people using strollers and mobility aids.

If you say "Trump is a threat to democracy" and vote like this, you simply don't believe what you say. The idea that swing state Dems would "need" to vote for this is also laughable. No one in your district is kept up at night by the idea that a crooked cop in DC won't get hired back.

Trump Moves to Weaken the Endangered Species Act

It takes 40 Waymos to move the same number of people as a single bus If SF doesn't ban or heavily limit AVs then they will destroy the city

The screengrab below is nuts. "This officer was so indiscriminate about shooting protesters that plaintiff, as a matter of law, cannot demonstrate he was targeted in retaliation for his First Amendment activity." DO WE NOT SEE THE PROBLEM HERE

We were hit with pepper spray and pepper balls in an escalation by federal agents in St Paul yesterday. @governorwalz.mn.gov @keithellison.bsky.social are you going to do anything to protect Minnesotans from them?

Even this morning @mprnews.org is saying they don’t know if anyone was detained by ICE. At least the Park Bugle (!) has done its diligence saying that 15 or so people were detained. www.parkbugle.org/federal-agen...

new paper by Sean Westwood: With current technology, it is impossible to tell whether survey respondents are real or bots. Among other things, makes it easy for bad actors to manipulate outcomes. No good news here for the future of online-based survey research

ICE employee among 16 men arrested in Minnesota for soliciting sex from a minor

Re-upping this with a link that goes to the upcoming trainings in Longfellow, Kingfield and Cathedral Hill since Naomi's link was for an older training. monarcamn.org/training

There’s one in Longfellow on Sunday!

Approaching 3 hours since Katie was cuffed and taken by masked federal agents while peacefully protesting and filming today and our lawyers still can’t get anyone to tell us where they actually took her. Fucking absurd.

You can't even see the Texas toast or loose meat under the pile of fries, but it's there

Over 20,000 students stayed home from school Monday in Charlotte amid ICE raids, representing 15% of enrollment The district is nearly one-third Hispanic, per WBTV www.wbtv.com/2025/11/18/n...

Who was that masked man? No, seriously. There will have to be a reckoning of who participated in mass abductions during the second Trump administration.

Vans with individuals taken from the Bro-Tex now attempting to exist north on Hamden

Looks to be a raid at this Bro tex building

The White House is objectively and demonstrably pro-sex trafficking

So apparently we have. bsky.app/profile/beij...

Oh hey, I found the war on christmas

Can’t believe I’m old enough to have lived through two Mark Sanford news cycles

she has a type

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

The way both Ryan Lizza and Olivia Nuzzi are now selling their personal lives like melodramas while also both still supposedly being serious political journalists makes me deeply uncomfortable

If you haven’t spent time in the trenches as a public defender or prosecutor, I don’t know why you’d run for county attorney. That’s the first threshold you need to pass for me, personally.

338 Fateh Thompson voters. That's several blocks. Or a church. A large workplace. Amazing. Since they're not concentrated tracking them down for an interview will be harder. Incredible if any of them are lawnsign people.

Is it bad if a sitting federal judge was (allegedly) part of a conspiracy to commit murder? It seems bad ....

wait, I saw 'peril' earlier and just assumed 'oh bc they knew this was behavior that could get them in trouble' now that I see 'born in China' I'm like, bitch, did they mean YELLOW PERIL oh my God?

Someone on the Minneapolis subreddit caught Waymos being delivered. We need the City Council need to ban the use of driverless cars. The technology isn't there. Our city cannot be a testing ground for 1.5 ton autonomous projectiles.

Anyone know if you can request one of these bike racks be put on a pole in Minneapolis?

Everyone does know what's going on here, right? Should the Epstein evidence bill pass both the House and Senate, these criminals will say it can't be released because there is an active investigation. Never mind that a thorough investigation was completed, and the DOJ was prepared to try Epstein.

Maybe just changed our weekend plans. Amazing.

I’m gonna miss our only true poster Senator

all of the absurdly talented writers whose careers have imploded through no fault of their own over the past decade plus of media consolidation and olivia nuzzi gets soft focus profiles for her memoir about fucking a fascist crank really makes the blood boil

this is a far more explicit death threat from people with the actual means to carry it out

Shorter NYT: “17 year old poor sex worker ruined Matt Gaetz's career to get money for braces”

so much to unpack with this framing, but in particularly struck by the way they put the victim's life circumstances as something that also happens to her abuser

Shockingly craven even by 2025 standards

Retroactive????

How many professors haven’t advised a Chinese student in the previous 5 years?

It's time for MeThree

Not to vaguepost but I have an exclusive and *exciting scoop* about the university of Minnesota, the ongoing labor/negotiation issues, general shenanigans. DMs are open if you like to write about local issues and want the first details!

I got to hear Blair Braverman talk today at a CLE and her 2019 tweet thread on dogs and body positivity is still something I think about from time to time. I'm not going to check X to see if this is the complete thread, but the gist is still there www.buzzfeed.com/sydrobinson1...

Le fait que Tigrane Khachatrian travaillait pour Trump devrait alerter, quand même. Son métier est scout de TRES jeunes filles russes. Epstein à Daniel Siad : "tigran has the best taste next to you.. "

Mais aussi Tigran Khachatrian. www.nytimes.com/2012/09/05/m...

Wait a minute, you can't have spellcheck or autocorrect in Gmail anymore unless you grant Google access to use your entire account for training AI? Oh fuck no.

The three options I was surveyed on this week were: Leave a Future Unlearn Limits Do Incredible

The thing about the U is, however hard it’s sucking right now, if Walz faceplants the next administration will be phantasmagorically worse. I hate having the fate of my state lashed to a weakened third-term attempt but here we are.

Thinking today how homelessness runs through this story, through Epstein's (Virginia Guiffre had been homeless before meeting him), and even through Gaiman's (his nanny was sleeping on the beach when Palmer recruited her, and he used threats of homelessness against another victim).

This is so instructive about the reality distortion field that happens at the NYT. People inside really can't see the difference in what gets covered, and how, and how the amount of emphasis/focus changes what a story *is*. The example of the panic over trans kids is such an instructive case.
