it’s wild we have troops in our streets in dc to “clean up the mess” but we can’t even get enough plowing and shoveling to stave off an actual giant mess

Why the fuck would i listen to right-wing podcasts when I could read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel instead

To avoid the possibility Holocaust remembrance might lead to empathy for migrants, Trump's antisemitism envoy claims Anne Frank "was in Amsterdam legally." In reality, Margot Frank received a summons to go to a labor camp on July 5, 1942. After ignoring this call, they were in Amsterdam illegally.

Disgusting and tyrannical

It was an ugly wake-up call for me, the dad of a new Kindergartener, to realize that the public school system has basically been completely abandoned by both parties since before my own time in it, and all of the "non-essential" stuff is provided entirely by donations and volunteer labor

Knowing fucking anything is "professorial" and "condescending." Only a level of ignorance & belligerence that matches the dumbest 20% of the population is truly authentic. This is why the GOP is full of rich nepo-baby Ivy league graduates trying their level best to act as stupid as they can.

This is one of my favorite charts because the obvious implication is ... obvious, but you absolutely are not allowed to say it out loud in US public discourse.

Get ICE them out of Maine!

The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they don’t go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.

The guy who ran on "fixing" costs and immigration is now deeply unpopular on both ... and pretty much everything else.

The woman who survived five gunshots from a Border Patrol agent in Chicago, only to be criminally charged and then cleared, now wants a judge’s permission to share records showing how the feds respond when agents use deadly force. @chicago.suntimes.com story: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

So many of these right wing grifters and their wives are failed actors or failed reality TV show stars. Once you start seeing it, you can't stop noticing it. They're people who shamelessly chase the spotlight.

its kinda wild how much Lockjaw looks like Bovino despite the fact that Bovino only really becomes a national figure well after OBAA starts principal photography

I knew it. Daddy TACO saw that it looked bad in TV and that's all he cares about. Same thing as with Greenland. Declare a "deal" and back off.

I have numerous complaints about Ro Khanna, but he took his ass to Minneapolis and seems genuinely pissed off and that’s what I want to see from every Democrat in Congress right now

Something I'm internally debating, should we do what the right-wing did to anyone who mocked Kirk's death to them as they mock those who died in Minneapolis? Because if these two deaths haven't changed their perspective, what hope do they have to repent?

Rent is due in MN and ICE is still terrorizing people there. Whenever I feel despair about what's happening, I donate to one of the mutual aid funds here. In case it might also be helpful to you:

Normal thing for a major urban American newspaper to have to post.

DHS is using explosives on people’s homes??? “Bovino has often used the phrase “turn and burn” to describe Border Patrol operations, a reference to actions like smashing windshields, using explosives to blow down the doors of homes and engaging in car chases.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/u...

Bike friends: This is something you can organize wherever you are, in solidarity with us in Minneapolis. Plan a unity ride for this Saturday. Bring your community together.

I’m proud of astronauts Scott Kelly, Mark Kelly, and Katy Perry for standing up to ICE

Everything is Gender Final Boss

Morale plummeting among ICE agents over long hours, quotas and public hatred: reports

Trump tried to break the Twin Cities but we stood strong, and now *they* are backing down. Makes me feel proud to live here.

oh they are hitting the pivot button *hard*

"Joe Lonsdale reposted" - Palantir's cofounder. Silicon Valley's oligarchs seem themselves as literally at war with the American people because their end-goal is to enslave us.

in addition to demonstrating his total lack of character, ilan wurman is also showing why he is a literal worm man with behavior that is genuinely beneath contempt

Will America build transit using the latest design best practices, like automation, electrification and through-running service? Or will it continue to build slow, at-grade light rail lines; infrequent diesel commuter trains; and short, impossibly expensive heavy rail subway extensions?

On the whims of Fifa’s Peace Prize winner, a life usually so focused on sports has found anything but peace

Had Republicans had just stuck to hammering Democrats on fraud they would've had a potent political weapon. Instead they turned it into a hate campaign against Somalis and an orgy of violence against Minnesotans and now we're getting statements like this 👇

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

cast DHS into the sea

A friend and I were recently discussing this: a big problem in modern American society is that Boomers simply refuse to ride off into the sunset. Paul Vallas is 72 and is known for driving four school districts into the ground and losing every election he’s ever run in. Just retire already.

Bro is crashing out in full tactical gear outside the lobby entrance of a Home2Suites and gave himself a bloody nose by gassing himself because of a noise demonstration.

It feels appropriate that the best reporting from The Atlantic and The New York Times has been by seasoned war reporters who understand the stakes and, by extension, the need to protect sources or sensitive information.

I honestly take heart in the fact that the morons who still support the admin are apparently so far removed from civil society that they are mystified by the sort of requirements you'd see to get onto a PTA group chat.

Rest in Protest 🆘💙🇺🇸

HOW IT WORKS IN MOVIES: 1. Government lies 2. Brave heroes release video showing the truth 3. Press says “the government is lying!” HOW IT APPARENTLY WORKS IN REAL LIFE 1. Brave heroes release video showing the truth 2. Government lies 3. Press says “Oh no, what now? So confusing! So hard!”

A number of responders were quite opposed to the idea of giving ridealongs to The Atlantic (I understand their frustration with the outlet). But I drove these guys around for two hours and they witnessed abductions, confrontations with the public, tear-gassings. The lesson: let the world see.

So. People changing their minds at this very late stage. Okay, some folks end up swimming in informational sewage, often from a very early age. It's not great that they've only jolted themselves out of it, but I'm inclined to let them make amends. Powerful media figures, on the other hand? Nah.
