Even before Bari Weiss interfered to make it worse, 60 minutes concept of "the entire context" is equating ICE murdering people to throwing a snowball. Bootlicking more important than journalism

Pelley and 60 minutes really were the gold standard for Serious Journalism and that they already felt the need to “balance” a story about the murder of innocent civilians by federal goons by implying they deserved it is an indictment of the entire industry

Interesting way to avoid saying that an Israeli occupation soldier shot a 7 month old baby

Almost there, hold it steady

Build it (useful rail lines) and they will come.

We'll pay $1500 a month for shitty work full of errors but don't ask us for a raise

Disqualifying

In other words, the police are defunding Minneapolis. (While I wish I'd thought of it first, I read this quip somewhere else.)

One of the Israeli officials who attended the Israel Parade has attacked Zohran Mamdani's wife and sought to ban her from Israel. Can you imagine what any of these Democrats would say if Mamdani had so proudly attended an event with someone who treated their partner this way?

A thing about Chicago is that it has an obscenely, impossibly bloody history. Every six months or so during the early-to-mid 20th century something happened that you can’t quite believe, and it’s usually the cops’ fault.

No one I know wants to vote for Klobuchar, and DFL is not going to procedurally bully me into it. Shes not the leader we want or need, and she is not owed this office just because she has seniority. She's a bad candidate who uses abusive control tactics and has absolutely no vision for Minnesota.

Strib finally publishes the story on MPD wildly overspending to do nothing during the ICE siege: www.startribune.com/minneapolis-... You can compare this version to the one that was pulled: www.msn.com/en-us/news/u... (ht @roblevine82.bsky.social)

Van Hollen is right: Israel is guilty of ethnic cleansing, apartheid, & genocide against the Palestinian people. US officials, under Biden and Trump, who have aided and abetted these crimes by providing taxpayer dollars, bombs and political support to Israel have no place in future administrations.

if anyone ever still has any doubt why the Twin Cities groaned every time Coach Walz said he was sending in the National Guard this winter. So they can do what, Coach? Help the baddies?

When you really piss off a wizard

TRUMP: *Delirious stream of consciousnesses wall of text* NYT:

Perfection.

People get offended by the idea that the center left is still pro Israel but then the Center for American Progress demoted its Israel-skeptical president, rehired Neera Tanden, then added Anthony Blinken to the Board of Directors, and stopped disclosing its donor information. OK lol.

Today marks the 78th anniversary of the Nakba (catastrophe), during which more than 750,000 Palestinians were expelled and over 400 villages were destroyed to establish the State of Israel.

Israeli television news investigation confirms what we already knew, which is that the 3 hostages who were shot and executed by Israeli soldiers were killed because the overarching rules of engagement in Gaza were such that "a man, no matter the age, you kill him straight away".

Josh Shapiro always wanted to be the candidate of capital The problem is about a dozen people are running to be the candidate of capital He could be the next Bob Casey and walk into the Senate by defeating McCormick, or he could lose before Super Tuesday and become a lobbyist, but he can't do both

Breaking: Tennessee Republicans pass new 9-0 gerrymander after SCOTUS destruction of Voting Rights Act eliminating state’s only majority-Black district & last Democratic seat. Splits Memphis, which is 63% Black, into 3 districts to disenfranchise Black voters. Quite literally a return to Jim Crow

Non twin cities people, you should know that the mayor is renominating someone who publicly stated his force did not witness any ICE misconduct justifying intervention at any point in operation metro surge.

Council Member Chughtai: 118 officers received somewhere between $8,000 and $20,000 worth of standby pay in one month alone, just to be ready to work, not for actual work done. "I can't think of a better word than insane."

Elon Musk accidentally revealing his mom's account is one of his alt's means that he has both impersonated his own infant child and mother online

Packed house for the charter commission public hearing. This never happens. Orange shirts are union members (LIUNA).

Safety awooo!!!

11 City Council members sent a letter to the Charter Commission ahead of their meeting where they will consider moving forward with significant changes to the appointment process for city department heads. We can’t support taking away council approval & public input in the appointment process.

Is he talking about himself? His own regime?

Oh, the people who blow up ships are the bad guys? Huh.

NASA just dropped more than 12,000 photos from the Artemis II mission. It'll take me a few days to go through them all, but so far it's one stunner after another. Link: eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos... Credit: NASA/Artemis II Crew (h/t @jonostrower.com)

In 2026 alone, 18 people have died in ICE detention. Enough is enough! It doesn’t matter who’s in charge of DHS, ICE detention will always be inhumane, inappropriate, inadequate, and deadly. We must put an end to it. Let’s pass my Melt ICE Act and end ALL immigration detention!

Red Faction: Guerilla isn't just a game with an impressive destruction mechanic or a rifle that makes you say, "Wow, cool gun!" It's Volition at its most explicitly pro-worker and anti-capitalist, reacting to a financial crisis with a still-resonant tale of a violent and necessary worker uprising.

angie craig just voted NO on an amendment to the farm bill allowing hot rotisserie chicken to be bought by people using SNAP angie craig doesn't want poor people to have access to hot, quality, already prepared and ready to eat foods, and she is running for US senate as a DFLer

I know it ain't all roses, but the CCP is kicking the shit out of us on this one.

In news that absolutely everyone predicted…

518,428 children have died preventable deaths in the year since Musk dismantled USAID, saying, “Time for it to die.”

Israel murdered Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil. Killing journalists in a war zone is a war crime, and Israel has been doing it with impunity for years. The U.S. cannot continue to be complicit in Israel’s crimes against humanity.

BREAKING: Person who won more than $400,000 by betting on Maduro's removal has been identified as a U.S. soldier who participated in the operation. The soldier has now been arrested, according to ABC News.

It just defies comprehension that the world's richest man is literally a hitlerian figure, got to illegally commandeer the US govt for months and condemn millions to excruciating death, and then just fucked off to make jokes about "show orphans" on podcasts with zero consequences. The mind recoils

Fuck waymo. None of my homies use the biker and cat murder app

"he passed away at the age of 80" "Scott's health had been a subject of concern among colleagues for years" "Scott is the eighth House member to die in office during the last two years, all but one of whom were Democrats who were 70 or older" "The Georgia Democrat had been running for reelection"

Israel performed a literal quadruple tap attack in Lebanon to massacre three separate sets of medics. Truly pushing the bounds of human depravity. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

A sowing/reaping for the ages

Man, when you compare the bravery of every day Minnesotans to the overpaid cops it’s astounding

The fact that every major police union endorsed Donald Trump is under appreciated in our political discourse.

Abolish and prosecute ICE or I'm not interested

Crazy that the service we pay for can just be like no you get nothing. Actually worse than nothing bc I'm sure his end of life was so full of insurance stress bullshit it makes me angry Fuck you Obama, had the chance to fix this and you did the individual mandate ~forcing~ us to pay them instead
