“The economy is actually doing great”

Matt is one of my favourite people on here, witty, smart & kind. If you could repost this I’d appreciate it.

The deportation order is based on Vedam’s conviction for murder—a crime he did not actually commit and for which he’s now been wholly exonerated. He entered the US at 9 months old and was a legal permanent resident before his conviction. We are so, so, so far from the light of justice.

Yeah I really need help with this . I’m gonna go hyperventilate into a bag but this has gone bad quickly

“Instead of prosecuting Tish James for doing her job, Donald Trump should be doing his.” @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social called out Trump for his blatant miscarriage of justice in going after New York Attorney General Letitia James. Subscribe to zeteo.com to keep up with the latest news.

I might as well mention this again, I’ve got a new gallery of work for sale that’s called ‘Rodents’ because it’s rodents. Mostly squirrels, some rabbits, watch this space for, in fact, more rodents. www.chloecumming.com/rodents Share if possible, thank you

“More than three dozen federal judges have told The New York Times that the Supreme Court’s flurry of brief, opaque emergency orders in cases related to the Trump administration have left them confused about how to proceed in those matters and are hurting the judiciary’s image with the public.”

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday. Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

I just got off a call with a group of young people who were seeking some guidance for a project they have launched in their community. Folks, I can tell you that we are blessed in this generation. They are smart and importantly so damn compassionate. ALSO, they know more than we did at their age.

Social Security got hit with more body blows this week: its commissioner is moonlighting as the made-up "CEO" of the IRS, and 750,000 applicants could be denied disability benefits. More from Bob Kuttner: prospect.org/blogs-and-ne...

Tomorrow is Ward 8 for a New Mayor! I'm looking forward to seeing @omarfatehmn.com @dewayneforminneapolis.com @jazzformayor.bsky.social at Sabathani tomorrow morning at 10am! Join us to rally and knock for a new mayor!

Turns out we broke that story

Friends and comrades made a crowdfunding page for my family. It’s really hard to post this. I know that there are a lot of other important issues asking for money but things have gotten to the point where we need to open ourselves up to your support. Thank you for your consideration.

New — I was fortunate to speak in front of students and faculty at Grinnell College in Iowa tonight about the business of independent journalism, the current state of media under Trump 2.0, and billionaire control. I published my full speech because I thought it might resonate beyond campus:

"where's the left media?" "where's fact-checked reporting?" lately @teenvogue.com has run profiles: of Assata Shakur's revolutionary history; a 23-year-old Palestinian journalist; what's happening in Chicago's ICE protests; and organizing supporting LGBTQ+ youth 📍 www.teenvogue.com/news-politics

It’s heartbreaking and appalling to know that members of Temple Israel woke up to such a blatant display of antisemitism today. In the face of hate, our neighbors are offering care, solidarity, and action, and I will continue to fight antisemitism with the people of this city.

Happy Wednesday from adoptable kitties, Tia, Teagan, Tim, and Toby! Little Tia has her work cut out for her today, she has been busy giving her sis Teagan a bath and her brother Tim some bunny kicks! There is a never a dull moment with this crew and they are all going to be fabulous forever family

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

Never forget.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

I’ll never stop fighting for Missouri’s 1st District. We deserve a true leader that delivers lower costs, better healthcare, clean air and water, and justice for all. #CoriForUs

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

FYI, in this same session he hired an Antisemitism coordinator that CA schools have told him is a massive waste of money and will only empower Trump's bullshit. Anyone who believes he's playing 9th dimensional chess and not just a shithead is a moron lol www.washingtonpost.com/national/202...

Clover: still available! She was protecting her kittens from coyotes when she was rescued! She deserves a safe place to call home!

at this point you have to acknowledge that there is no way that these guys don't try to mess with the 2026 midterms. there is absolutely no respect for the legitimacy of the opposition

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

mark your calendars! poorly drawn cats commissions will open on october 10th, 12pm (GMT-3) everything you need is at poorlycatdraw.com and if anything’s unclear, i’ll be happy to help 💕

John Roberts’ Constitution: The federal government protecting people’s right to vote or giving them health care violates the sacred principle of state sovereignty but if the deranged POTUS and his bloodthirsty advisers want to use the military to invade other states for being too liberal that’s fine

Ten years and five months apart

The No Kings stuff on the 18th needs to be really big. If it is too cringe for you, do therapy or deep breathing or something and then grow up

Jared Kushner is going to the Middle East to negotiate a deal on behalf of the U.S. government days after Kushner announced a $55 billion deal between his private equity fund and the Saudi government One of the most brazen conflicts in history.

Oh, the pre-frontal trough will remain the dominant lifting mechanism, and it will be pouring in the west metro 90 minutes earlier than I expected? Cool. Cool cool cool. It’s gonna be a wet afternoon around the Twin Cities.

One thing I’d be nice if Schatz and others acknowledged is that even judging their hard right turn on immigration in Spring 2024 on its own terms it failed miserably. In July when Harris took over Trump led on “immigration” by 9pts, by election day he led 13pts. At best it, electorally, did nothing

We are here, in part, because guys like Schatz would never say this to "ezra klein" - a rich media guy - but somehow think "adam" is suppose to be dismissed and ignored but also do unpaid comms work for them

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years. From @jsweetli.bsky.social, @slate.com + me:

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

🚨Last chance on Lyndale Ave. Help raise a ruckus so Hennepin County doesn't screw this up. Street reconstructions are basically once in a lifetime chances. Let's get it right.

Dear @bencollins.bsky.social I have one ticket to the sold out 7:00 pm showing of Bad Pedophile in Minneapolis at the @trylon.org that I cannot use. If you RT this I will give it to someone who reaches out.
