Acting Field Director David Easterwood.

Punishing repeat law breakers is how Lee Jae Myong got national recognition. Good to see someone else following that path.

Your average small business owner, folks

The market has basically priced in SCOTUS killing IEEPA tariffs for like four months now so I doubt there’s any relief rally from a ruling against him. If they rule in his favor, though, hooo boy

Japanese yields blowing out while the tech bubble bursts and Trump declares war on Europe, what could possibly go wrong

Amazing that people who stare into politics all day end up unable to recognize what job responsibilities are for different roles, and how one gets accurately assessed at whether one is useful in that role. Maybe it’s time to actually go out and get real jobs for your own sake.

Again, this is straightforwardly correct diagnosis of the current administration: it is government by rapists (or aspiring rapists) for rapists, and employs a logic of rapine in all things

I’ve been writing Popular Information for 8 years, and this is one of the most important stories I’ve ever published. This is a humanitarian crisis that has gone unreported.

Let's review the facts at hand here: A Democratic administration discovered and prosecuted a case of welfare fraud. Republicans are now using this case to smear hundreds of thousands of immigrants and militarize an entire city. And your conclusion is that Democrats need to do something different?

I uh, un-recommend Best Bus

If you work for ice please understand that your kids will laugh at a character based on you dying in an action movie before the end of the decade. They’ll be in movies for really little kids. Like Phineas and Ferb shit. There will be an action figure of you with a detachable head

It's beginning to look like all of those guns Americans buy to keep government in check were only ever bought for school shootings.

Grok is so much worse than you think.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

If the struggle of the Iranian people is getting lost in the bad-faith social media debate, why not just ... write about the struggle of the Iranian people instead of engaging in the bad faith debate?

Seattle peeps: does anyone have a good rec for an immigration lawyer? Feel free to DM.

Newsom’s social media team: fuck these conservatives Newsom himself when he talks to a conservative: actually you guys are right

I’m just gonna assume their next big idea is the Tony D Champagne Room

there is no kinder gentler version of this; mid Obama levels of enforcement are “open borders” to these people. There is no way to do what they want to do and are going to keep doing and quite frankly were elected on an explicit platform of doing without what we’re seeing on our phones. The end

If you vote for Gavin Newsom, I will kick you in the fucking dick, if you give a dollar to Matt Yglesias, I will kick you in the fucking dick, there is no negotiation with fascism, you do not need advice on fighting a dragon from someone who’s never even smelled the fire

if you can’t use language to reflect very straightforward power differentials then maybe you shouldn’t be in the language business.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Well, you don’t see that every day: www.uafsunstar.com/news/student... #Alaska

Hospital staff immediately recognized signs of a chokehold. From Arnoldo's bedside, his sister Maria tried to file an assault report w/ Houston PD. But police were skeptical of her account & their own authority: “What can HPD do to federal agents?” Maria said a cop told them.

“This is a disease, and if you're reading this, you've probably got it. If not for a media franchise or a fictional character, then perhaps for a sports team. … Nevermind that it isn't yours, and it never was. You are at best a stockholder - at worst, a tenant.”

good news here is that Musk has zero leverage from those manufacturing jobs, if the EU keeps going after Grok and his other various weird illegal stuff... that factory and all its jobs are toast no matter what anyone does, and there is absolutely no reason to pretend otherwise to go easy on Musk

NYT ran 11 stories on trans athletes in 2 days including one about brett kavanaugh’s special POV as a girls’ basketball coach. they sent 6 people to scotus to write up their victory lap & meanwhile this is how far you needed to scroll yesterday to find coverage of ICE in MN. stop giving them money.

the last one was, too, but not in the way the Right pretends the Dred Scott Decision and the Fugitive Slave Law effectively federalized slavery; citizens in free states reacted by fighting and resisting patrols from slave states "States Rights" guys were the abolitionists, on the eve of the war

Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms. www.reuters.com/world/us/fiv...

The Trump admin, which says it was investigating fraud in Democratic-led states, quietly shelved a massive welfare fraud investigation in Mississippi involving public funds funneled to Brett Favre and others

You know, if this is okay—the President can take funds and park them in a foreign slush account—then we really don't need a wealth tax. The next Democratic President can simply seize money from right-wing billionaires and park it offshore, free from "seizure" by Congress and the courts. 🤷‍♀️

Big takeaway from this book is that there is a collective cultural freakout about masculinity every 100 years that ends poorly for everyone, especially young men themselves

His goal for 2026 seems to be a perpetually self lowering bar

ㅆㅂ 이딴소리나 하고 있을 때냐고 야당이 물러터져서야 원

They’re saying “exactlyyyy” to each other

Something you notice when you look at this stuff after a while is that the media has an immune system-like response to punish Democrats who land on effective communications strategies so that they won't stick with them bsky.app/profile/eall...

In my experience, Brown-Forman responded to this inquiry a lot faster than usual. When I broke this story about Old Forester photoshopping its founder onto Frederick Douglass' face last year, for example, they were mum for four days after I presented them with my findings and asked for comment.

you know how many times i’ve heard you can just build this concept and we’ll go sell it and make lots of money. every time you end up with something nobody consumes, doesn’t have a sponsor, and is a waste of time and money

Jacob Frey told ICE agents to get the fuck out of Minneapolis, a hugely popular viral moment, and the media has been browbeating him over it ever since. Trump flipped a guy off and told him fuck you and it’s barely acknowledged.

ive seen more articles this week about how the phrase “abolish ice” could hurt dems in the midterms than ive seen articles about how paramilitary death squads terrorizing cities will hurt republicans in the midterms

Yes, immigration agents not only took Arnoldo's phone, the 10th grader had to use Find My Phone to locate it — in a vending machine for used electronics, close to an ICE detention center. Read the full story here: www.propublica.org/article/vide...

Yet another Gender thing huh

A St. Paul resident says federal officers knocked on her door and asked her to identify Hmong and Asian households in her North End neighborhood last week.

Straight from the imaginations of a woman who never really understood what other women want from men

howling at the fact that someone just took photos of this man's phone from behind him. he was talking shit with his phone font set to large and screen at max brightness

“How to write a syllabus with nothing but earned media”

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

If this is your response, I think you should be made to return your grant funding back.
