“(ICE favorability is) almost break-even with people who get their news from Twitter. Compare that to other social media platforms like Reddit and TikTok, where over 70% of voters viewed the agency unfavorably.” You are what you (choose to) eat

YEAHHHHH BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

those vests fucking rule. @ fellow loonsiers: step up yer game, eh?

double-fisting stump party and loons season opener at black hart tonight. no clue how it’s gonna work logistically cause they’re concurrent, but im already half a coffee into this pregame

I've written elsewhere about why this is a hard story to cover and long-term success/failure stories are challenging in their own way. But I would guess the number 1 thing Minnesotans know that folks elsewhere don't is exactly what Wes said: This has been a colossal failure by any metric.

This is an illegal move and this creature would likely be ejected from the game

you can't work with Republicans. you can't compromise with them either. you either win or they do.

Motherfuckers out here not recognizing how collegiate athletics funds college for folks across demographics. Where the FUCK do you THINK title IX funding goes?

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Do yourself a favor, go whip some shitties

falcon heights mentioned. falcon heights should never be mentioned except as a neighborhood of imnizaska/st paul.

happy honse my fellow asians who are not my fellow pinoys because we do not use a lunar calendar in the islands

not sure when we decided marching bands should all dress like Napoleonic era soldiers, but one of these years we need to fly all the high school and college bands over to Waterloo and let 'em fight it out again.

sometimes i make flags that aren’t very good as an exercise in realism. so here’s the flag of imnizaska/st. paul if it sucked and wasn’t very good at all

the corpo-fication of soccer culture must be resisted in all places. we already know that we stand together or we fall alone, and one day the MLS will learn that they aren’t immune to that. #solidaridad

'Seattle’s plutocrats are wealthier than anyone imagines. This keeps getting revealed, where a scheme is developed to tax wealth, & then amounts the tax brings in wildly overshoot even the most optimistic forecasts.' westneat on the social housing wealth tax www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

another guy who never protested before radicalized to the point of tears by watching masked ICE agents terrify children in his neighborhood the Republicans are not ready or mentally capable of comprehending the backlash they have generated

Per the Mine Safety and Health Administration, the total coal mining workforce (including office staff, contractors, etc.) in the States is ~45K The LOWEST estimate for the exotic dancing workforce (including bartenders, bouncers, mgrs, etc. at strip clubs) is ~35K, but it's likely 10x that count

thinking about blawks again. in vacuum, a supporters section for the upper team sounds like a good way to expose them kids to the power of a good ultras group. you want to get youngfolk involved in the wonderwall, might as well give em a taste of being on the receiving end too eh?

we ain’t free till we all free

if enough people start exclusively referring to minnesota’s capital city they way people do aotearoa/new zealand, eventually the imnizaska/st paul city council will be forced to do something about it

The rivalry with Mighty Morphin Power Celtic seldom gets mentioned.

at this point i’ve started referring to anybody that lives in a city they weren’t born in as an immigrant, who knows if it’ll help but it’s technically correct which is the best type of correct

the actual Republican parents who support the politicians pushing for this think the effort and money they spent parenting are wasted if their kids turn out different from them. You eliminate that possibility by eliminating the public existence of other kinds of people.

This Administration’s attacks on Minnesota continue, this time by threatening to allow copper-sulfide mining in the watershed of the Boundary Waters when a majority of Minnesotans have made it clear they don't want this mine. Not this mine. Not this place. Keep public lands in public hands.

congratulations to the “well actually the irish were slaves too” irish-american reply guys, who’ve finally achieved their lifelong dreams of being persons of color

congratulations to ariana grande, who’s finally achieved her lifelong dream of being a person of color

In England they call him Naughty Rabbit

some of yall gotta start going to st. paul blackhawks UPSL games so they have an incentive to move up to USL2. couldn’t be me, up the riverhoppers, but it’s gotta be *someone*

holy hel. elon musk is trying to use the super bowl to rebrand his CSAM website because of all the bad press he’s getting for running a CSAM website

BOOOOOO

Hi all, there are a lot of things to be said about the chaos, kidnapping and murder, that is happening in the state I live in right now. I want to highlight some things I have personally seen in the last month or so out on the streets in Minneapolis. 🧵

This is a great snapshot of what the organizing 'vibe' is like around here, especially if you have any history of organizing here & know lots of folks. There are some bigger questions about what people around here are going to want to maintain vs see implemented by the state later. But that's later.

hard to think of a better example of "you may not believe in class war, but billionaires know they're in one" than this

coachella valley invitational is a more important soccer tournament than leagues cup

Tribunals should the moderate centrist position at this point.

“In the Soviet Union, a scientist is blinded / By the resumption of nuclear testing and he is reminded / That Dr Robert Oppenheimer's optimism fell / At the first hurdle”

“Look for the punks. You will always find punks who are helping.”

bullshit. I dare you to find a single person who was exploded by a direct RPG blast to the torso and has anything negative to say about the experience.

pinoys are the powerhouse behind the fourth industrial revolution. and also the entire fourth industrial revolution itself, to boot

Thank you for the coverage, @npr.org. If you, dear reader, would like to help other people observing ICE in Minnesota, please contribute to our dash cam drive - more than a thousand have been distributed so far, and demand remains high: ottergoose.net/dashcam/

Welcome to the Frozen North, James! On behalf of the @mndarkclouds.bsky.social, @redloons.bsky.social, TNE, and the rest of the Wonderwall, we can't wait to see you don the Black & Blue. 🇨🇴VAMOS🇨🇴!! (It gets warmer, we promise...)

welp, this destroyed me first thing upon waking up

Lots of folks saying “this is good” but no, it very much is not. 1) this is the 4th amendment 2) this is a historical norm at worst 3) this is already required 4) again, at worst an historic norm 5) 4A 6) 4A 7) fine 8) good if enforceable 9) useless 10) again, at worst a historical norm

get armed or start singing dylan instead—and we all know where that guy was when everyone else was on the picket

i think the reason these minnesotan resistance parodies of irish rebel songs fall flat is because those songs are about real people who shot actual government forces, and the people here want to appropriate the rhetoric without understanding the violence that necessarily precedes that
