Delta Air Lines had no trouble endorsing the Big Beautiful Bill, which gave ICE a blank check to terrorize Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge. They flew Liam to an ICE concentration camp. Now they want a million dollars to build a new lounge at MSP. Join us on Monday to demand accountability.

John Evans didn’t know his bookstore, Lemuria Books, was about to be recognized as part of the Mississippi Writers Trail when he walked into its 50th anniversary event on Saturday, April 11. “I didn't know until when they walked out today,” Evans said. “I was surprised.”

"In the beginning, the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move."

These are the actual dimensions. It is like the Spinal Tap Stonehenge.

Should I let the turkey into the school of public policy?

Fuck Mike Lee with a rake

And I'll probably do the same again tomorrow.

took friends who had never been in a congressional office building on a lunchtime walk to the House’s hipster coffee shop today, and they were so absolutely flabbergasted at what they saw that I was reminded we have to do a lot more work showing normies how WEIRD lot of reps are- but it is possible

My favorite dinosaur is the very vanilla apatosaurus. M’s favorite dinosaur is the modern turkey.,

If the past 25 years (rolling reaction to 9/11) it’s essentially that the US prefers violence at all costs. Sure, we have moments of feigned calm but we crave destruction.

Poem A man in a suit is leaning over the edge to tell the guy digging the pit how to dig the pit. The guy digging is plotting to throw the man in the suit into the pit. God is the pit.

Recession indicators for me: Changing shipping indicators w/overall declines and shifts from air to ground at both FedEx and UPS. Decline in the number of cardboard box sales for shipping. Dramatic increase in gig workers. Sentiment on social media particularly from younger peeps about economy.

I wonder what the shortest amount of time is between someone being baptized Catholic and excommunicated because we may be looking at a new record here shortly

Science literacy rates are at an all time low

Finally rejoining society this weekend after a couple of ridiculous months (good and bad). All stress and minimal community makes a ginger a dull girl.

the stock market is the silliest fakiest thing that has ever existed and you can’t convince me otherwise

I am AI. I’m converting from an intelligible human who prefers facts to a very flawed algorithm designed to manipulate markets and destroy the environment. While being run by a mediocre, insecure, misogynistic probably committing sex crimes white man.

Everything is fucking dumb all the time now

A hospital in Nebraska shut down the only dialysis unit for miles, upending lives. That's despite a new federal program that gave the state more than $200 million to improve rural health care access. n.pr/3O7XtpM

i was so happy to talk to laura yuen for this piece, because it lays out the major difference between the uprising in 2020 and OMS—people have changed how they are in relationship to each other. many non-immigrant minnesotans never had to interact with the injustice of immigration. now they have.

Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.

BREAKING: Maryland is about to become the first state in the nation to ban the use of surveillance data and dynamic pricing at grocery stores. The Maryland House has just passed the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act. Governor Wes Moore plans to sign the bill.

Back in January, my boss left and we had a reorg. Everyone on my new team is perfectly fine but also perfectly dry and anodyne. Getting any sort of humor or cultural reference to land is an act of pushing boulders up mountains. Would give anything for a team with levity.

Tbh while this is definitely Gender its probably also executive vs legislative. Which is, come to think of it, probably also gender

We can't afford a Bidenesque period. We can't afford a "no looking back" and "moving forward for the good of the country" attitude. The damage done Trump and the GOP over the last 45 years has been so extensive that the US needs a muscular 4th Progressive Period for any hope to recover. /2

I strongly support the sales tax increase to fund HCMC. We can't let our safety net hospital close. But I am intensely opposed to the $7 million per year that SF 4986 would also give to the Twins Stadium. It's a major expansion of corporate welfare. The Pohlads should pay for it!
