as someone who works pretty hard to bring photos and such from these events, it's just maddening that accounts like this resort to posting ai-generated nonsense and still have 100k followers

Chicago march turning onto Michigan Ave

Chicago is showing up

The Chicago march is about to pass Trump tower

And formally, according to our law, Depose him

Just went through TSA at MSP. Everyone was incredibly efficient and kind. Wait times under 5 minutes on a Spring Break Saturday. Super crappy situation they’re in and they’re handling with way more grace than I might. (Also, no sign of ICE)

thoughts on today: 1) the protests are good, actually 2) you should go to one of you can 3) it will do you good to see how many other people also hate this guy 4) you might meet people who you can organize with 5) there are more of us than there are of them 6) we are going to win

MPD did jack shit during the occupation but collect OT

Minnesotans defended their neighbors in snowy streets for months on end I will happily go stand in Boston Common for a few hours

Should we all reintroduce our baseball allegiances for a quick refresher? No explanation. 1) Twins 2) New Haven Ravens 3) Walla Walla Sweets 4) Shane Mack 5) Bridgeport Bluefish

Fascinating poll on how pervasive ICE invasion was in the central cities. Almost one-fifth of St. Paul encountered ICE; more than a quarter of Minneapolis did. Either figure is astounding & awful; indicates Mpls enforcement was roughly half again more intense than St.P.

We’re all ruled by a racist old man yelling stuff on the internet

I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't had any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since typical grants are for three years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.

I will be making my next mortgage payment in Schrute Bucks

Stop it

Impeach the president

The news has moved on, but ICE is still in Minneapolis. My neighbors are still patrolling streets, driving strangers to work, and providing aid. As a photojournalist at @propublica.org, I wanted to know: What do they look like in their daily lives? So I picked up my camera 👇

This is an absolute scandal; the United States government is deliberately consolidating all deportation cases of an ethnic minority that the President has called "garbage" in front of a handpicked group of judges and with dramatically accelerated timeline. A lawsuit was filed yesterday against it.

Seeing other people staring at their phones in situations when I wouldn’t is a helpful reminder for what I must look like in situations when I do. (A woman just passed our house walking her dog; unbroken eye contact with her phone for the length of the block).

This is so vital. AI — like the internet — benefits when we refuse to consider its materiality.

State-sanctioned murder.

Hoowwwwwwwlllll

Huge result here - the idea that social platforms can be defective products that cause harm is going to send shockwaves through an industry that has claimed essentially blanket protection from liability by saying everything is speech

This is the SECOND major defeat for Meta in as many days. Yesterday, a jury in NM found that Meta had enable child abuse, including child sexual abuse. Today, a jury in CA found that Meta and Google enabled social media addiction. The combined impact of these two trials is a landmark moment.

Not enough; I need to see Mark Zuckerberg cry.

Good. Facebook/Instagram, TikTok, X, and Google/YouTube push digital cigarettes. They're addictive and damaging to society. Time to hold them accountable.

reported ICE presence at the Mall of America today "Seen near Log Chute ride at Nickelodeon Universe. Agent wearing normal clothes, with badge in the middle of chest. He stopped a woman, asked her for US ID and raised his voice."

Man, the effects of the ICE occupation are vast and ongoing. A family I am helping, like so many others, is trying to figure out how to rebuild their lives. Trying to make rent, needing to find work, adjusting to an existence without family members. There may be less ICE but these are huge wounds.

BREAKING: I'm suing the federal government for access to evidence in the shootings of Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and Julio Sosa-Celis. It's astonishing this lawsuit is even necessary, but in Minnesota, nobody is above the law.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻!

Krugman does a recap on the insider trading yesterday open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

They wear masks when they expect to break the law. They don't have to when they don't.

Exactly 5 minutes BEFORE Trump announced a 5-day delay in bombing Iranian power plants, someone purchased $1.5 billion worth of S&P futures in a single trade. Someone also sold $192 million in oil futures. Trump and/or his cronies are engaging in market manipulation and insider trading.

Americans are absolutely going to start heckling these losers. “Hey tough guy—why are you wearing that tactical vest? My four-year-old’s here in Mickey Mouse ears.”

I'm receiving reports from airports all over the country about ICE sightings. I'll be sharing updates here as I get them. ⬇️

ATLANTA: "I saw 4 ICE agents within 5 minutes just walking around. One had a 'federal agent' patch, one had an 'ICE' patch, the other two were not clearly marked...They’re in the mezzanine just watching us. Not doing anything that I can tell besides just having a presence...ton of police to help."

Why are these idiots wearing their tactical costumes if they’re there to help with long lines? They are the most embarrassing people on earth.

ICE troopers don’t know how to assist with anything. They know how to meance and abuse the public, so that’s what they’ll do.

Making the Strait of Hormuz safe for energy shipments would be a remarkable accomplishment, one that the world has never seen since the beginning of the month.

I know this has circulated with alacrity recently, so you may have already seen it, but if you haven't... WOW BOY HOWDY it's the most useful thing. Thank you cardcatalogforlife.substack.com -- this is a very very very helpful public service: cardcatalogforlife.substack.com/p/google-has...
