Jacob Frey: "We are here to respond to credible reports relaying that there are as many as 100 federal agents that will be deployed to the Twin Cities with a specific focus on targeting our Somali community. To our Somali community -- we love you and we stand with you. That commitment is rock solid"

if i worked in a White House with an elderly and ailing president who had a hard time staying awake, i would simply recommend against having 3 hour cabinet meetings that are boring af and pointless and best remembered for the fact said president is sleeping on camera

There have been reports of volunteers in TN being harassed, and those incidents have been forwarded to local authorities. Everyone deserves to participate in our democracy without fear or intimidation. If you ever find yourself ...

science bros when you suggest there's objective social facts about class dynamics

Wishing everyone who didn't vote for Kamala Harris a very pleasant fuck you.

I'm not sure he's going to make it, folks. Eyes are closed

Should’ve been fired after signal gate… 😂😂😂😂

When they gonna release the Epstein files?

my fundamental issue with Wicked is that the brilliance and power of the Wizard of Oz movie (1939) is that *Oz is not a real place* it is the dream of a young girl whose life is already a tragedy (parents dead) and is going nowhere fast (stuck in Kansas, town controlled by Gulch/Wicked Witch)

Mark Kelly: "For most of Donald Trump's career, bullying people has worked out for him, but not now, because I won't let it happen. President Trump is trying to silence me, threatening to kill me for saying this true, & he sent his secretary after me, & it's not going to work."

Pop star Sabrina Carpenter slams the White House for using “Juno” in an ICE arrest video: “This video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.”

The Epstein files should have already been released.

If your doctor decided you needed an MRI (indicating concern about something serious) and you claim that you didn't ask why or what part of your body he wanted to look at, you are: 1. Really stupid; or 2. Dangerously detached from reality; or 4. Lying; or 4. All three. 🎯

I know we’ve moved on 781 times by now, but… I still can’t believe he tore down half the White House

My name is Jeff Cohen, the economist, and I'm running for Congress in the Democratic primary to represent Illinois's 9th Congressional District. I've spent thirty years working on economic issues, and I'm going to do my very best to CRUSH Trump's chaotic economic nonsense. Pass it on.

every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

Pete Hegseth is violating international law the right way. by Ezra Klein

Sooo here's a little public records request I just made to the University of Oklahoma.

I’m starting to get the sense that it was a bad idea to put a deeply insecure, sexual assaulting Fox News host with a drinking problem and a crusader tattoo who said he was into war crimes in charge of the military.

The Trumps are using the Oval Office as their own personal ATM machine, and anyone who says otherwise is lying to you. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Hello, white women saw this in 2016 & HAVE VOTED FOR HIS ASS THREE STRAIGHT ELECTION CYCLES. Why? White women are weak & have been conditioned to let their men abuse them. Tell me I’m wrong. There’s a reason Black women cannot relate to them. Sorry to break it to you.

🐶🆘 DON’T KILL KYLE Described as a Velcro pup, super social and spirited just watch his video & u will get a sense of this glorious boy! Even thinking of killing this pooch is insanity but that’s what they’re thinking - he has a kill command Repost to find a #foster so Kyle can live

AT RISK 💔 MR LICORICE He’s a beautiful underweight stray & he’s very afraid. He’s been there just a week & he’s their death row target He’s not agressive, he’s worried & wary. Needs an experienced human to help him learn to trust again 🙏Please repost to find a #foster fast so he can live

He's going to kill so many people and we're powerless to stop it. One of the most vile humans currently wandering around this watery rock.

People do not use information to determine their social identities; they use their social identities to determine what counts as information. The climate fight is, and has always been, an identity fight. Gonna talk with @samuel-bagg.bsky.social about this soon.

Senator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Seems like this ends with Hegseth in jail or a fight over the illegal pardon the non-president Trump will purport to give him (or both)

He cherishes country music everybody.

I knew it was going to be a grad student or an adjunct. And because grad students and adjuncts are cheap and easy to replace, they're the front line in the student-as-customer model of higher ed. Unhappy customer? Sacrifice a lowly TA or adjunct, problem solved. Unions now. Unions forever.

The parents will just say, "we'll have another one and we won't vaccinate them either." This is also where those Pro-lifers come in.

Enough delays. Enough excuses. Release the Epstein files. Every name, every deal, every cover-up. Let’s see the truth… all of it.

While this usually isn't the intent, "no one will ever be held accountable for this" doomerism is an excuse not to try. There'll be at least some accountability if enough Americans work for it. And this time really is different. Doesn't guarantee the aftermath will be, but it increases the chances.

Stalling on releasing the Epstein files and pardoning some drug dealers while killing others makes perfect sense through the lens of Trump Inc being a traditional organized crime family with branches in gambling, drugs and prostitution. He’s killing his rivals right out in the open.

Don't stop talking about releasing the FULL, UNREDACTED EPSTEIN files

Lane Kiffin is the dude who gets divorced six times but hasn't figured out that he might be the problem.

Yes we have a problem with it along with members of your own party.

If you need me anytime between now and January, this is where I’ll be. #booksky

Found an AI slop animation of one of my books. 🤮 Don’t want to share it of course but I just think it’s worth saying: please go buy people’s real art. We put a lot of work into it.

Aside from the extremely dubious question of whether the occupants of the Venezuelan boat even qualified as “combatants,” ordering a second strike from an aircraft for the sole purpose of killing defenseless people was absolutely an illegal order.

I am no conspiracy theorist, but I am told that every forensics expert at John Jay College in NY says this event was fake. They are declining to publish out of fear for their lives. This is strictly hearsay on my part. I am no expert on this. I am an expert on senior issues & elections.

"True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” —FDR, 1944

Ok, this has to be shared and shared and shared and shared! Thank you @preciouspetal.bsky.social !

Its gonna be so cool when Pete Hegseth ends up going to jail

NEW: I have a personal announcement. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-person...

Heartening that so much of the US national security community is taking Trump/Hegseth’s illegal boat strikes seriously. A big part of the political struggle we’re in: does anything matter? Various veterans, lawyers, academics, journalists and members of Congress on the relevant committees say yes.

Another death. Russian overtones. Epstein dead in a suspicious way. Now this? #Seek_SpeakTruth

After a long hectic few days, Blue is ready for a nap while I prepare to argue in the Supreme Court.💙
