This guy was released from ICE custody in the middle of Louisiana, where he'd been taken during the case. Volunteers and donors from Minnesota paid for his flight back, picked him up from the airport, and drove him home a state away. I could not be filled with more love for my country Minnesota.

The second amendment can be hard to defend because when things are going even moderately all right, you do not need to own a gun When shit like this starts happening, though, it's a damn good right to have

100 mph winds roaring through Chicago right now. Tornado warnings, severe thunderstorms. Yikes.

I have watched approximately 292,685 Knicks reaction videos today and I’d say my appetite for them is about 50% full.

This plane took 35 shackled people from the DC-Baltimore area — 28 men and seven women — to an ICE gulag near Alexandria, Louisiana tonight. They paint them all white so you don’t know it’s Air Wisconsin.

so the bar trivia I go to is mostly nerdy feds but there are also consistent tribes of 20something trans kids, leathery Maryland early retirees, and an Ethiopian uncle cluster. America is already great

Big banks denied entire communities the opportunity to buy homes, start small businesses, and build financial security right here in our City for generations. In response, Ponce Bank was founded in the 1960's to give Puerto Rican New Yorkers the opportunity to build wealth.

The remarkably loud booing and middle fingers were spectacular, given the sheer scale, and I say this without ever being able to prove it but: if trump had gone to a similar game at this time in Chicago, I think the arena would have—bare minimum—taken it a step further and just chanted obscenities…

this is legitimately one of my favorite posts of all time

Normie Pete is in on SCOTUS expansion. We're cooking.

i wish i believed he was going to an even hotter place

I think it’s extremely helpful to have Mayor Pete out there setting these markers for what the debate is going to look like I do not think he wins but he’ll have a presence in the race and to have someone outside the left lane pushing for SC expansion and DC statehood is important

Incredible lawyering, strong judges, and an amazing result.

Timothee Chalamet did a Kalshi ad and I’ve never seen fans turn on someone so hard after celebrating his Knicks reactions like 12 hours ago. My Gen Z brother texted me that Chalamet is losing his respect. People are rightfully pissed about prediction markets

Talarico: Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life. They don't sell their soul to the highest bidder. Real men serve others, weak men serve themselves. So I welcome this debate. I don't think Paxton or Cruz are in a position to tell anyone what a real man is.

It’s forbidden jump rope time #ILwx #WXsky

bsky wants to tell us all “save it for the group chat” and “you don’t have to post everything”. But we refuse. Main is where the thoughts go.

what exactly does the pasadena police department think horses do in their free time

You can go a little loopy if you begin thinking of yourself as a Political Operative simply because you post about politics. This is why it's so important to drop an occasional grounding post like "The brain is the ass of the head" to remind yourself that you are just some guy

"We’re publishing this blog post to explain our decision to refer to Delaney Hall as a “concentration camp” and clarify the term’s meaning." This is incredibly important. jerseybee.org/2026/06/11/w...

Whether you rent or own, you deserve the chance to stay in the city you call home. This week, we cut the ribbon on dozens of apartments in Morningside Heights that have been transformed into permanently affordable co-ops.

Props to CNN’s chyron writer:

i don't think it's a good idea to allow a company helmed by an erratic white supremacist pushing pogroms in europe and an anti-democracy movement at home to become too big to fail. thats my opinion

I'm not a Buttigieg fan, but I'll say this - this is how I would hope to see every Democrat who was even thinking of running for prez in 2028 talk to have even a chance of reversing course after a trump.

BREAKING: Rep. Garcia has formally requested the Oversight Cmte. call in the following Trump officials in the wake of that new NYT report on Epstein: J.D. Vance Susie Wiles Tyler Budowich James Blair Karoline Leavitt Steven Cheung Kash Patel Dan Bongino Stanley Woodward, Jr.

A Texas middle school counselor said she's "sick of being called racist because she doesn't want America invaded by Islam." Her district has one of the highest populations of American Muslims in the country. The school did nothing. Help us demand accountability: www.qasimrashid.com/p/guest-post...

Holy shit, these people have no idea: The people launching the pogroms against immigrants in Belfast are loyalists, i.e. loyal to the British crown. They hate the concept of being Irish.

Living rent free in Trump’s head 💅🏽. Imagine if he spent half the time fixing our economy that he spends obsessing over me?

With tomorrow being the 10th anniversary of @pixelatedboat.bsky.social's "Milkshake Duck" tweet, I think Pokemon Go might be one of the all-time great milkshake ducks:

1997 was the year I reported out my first big story. It went national and it was because a freeway had collapsed due to record amounts of rain

CORNYN: “.. He’s going to have the most miserable two years of his life in the last two years of his term, I think, because I think November is going to be a disaster.” @nytimes.com #TXsen www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/u...

When we interpret this, remember that Buttigieg is and always will be normie-coded. This means these are going to be the mainsteam, Democrats-have-always-believed-this positions, not the most liberal or left position. This is a really good sign.

ram costs a gorillian dollars

I realize there's a high bar but it could be argued that Raymond, who actively killed all of Exxon's renewable energy experiments and emissions research *after* company insiders measured oil's climate impacts, was one of the most evil CEOs of the 20th century www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

specifically the schools of hard knocks (i think they teach it there)

classic in the "good for her" genre also this film hit me more as a "the horror of grief" thing — she was frozen in winter in her bereavement but the creepy cult grieved with her someone you love dying feels so so much like a horror movie. i was in london afterwards and it felt like black mirror

The age of impunity is a proper description for Musk being able to incite pogroms the same week he becomes a trillionaire. Musk is an existential threat to democracy worldwide and countries need to act like the threat that it is. www.axios.com/2026/06/11/e...

Union of 500 Target Field concessions workers announces strike minnesotareformer.com/briefs/union...

erasing chalk messages is some school bully shit, just the pettiest little move imaginable

at this point it's like "is there anyone who is possibly not compromised" and this is so so dangerous

Black and queer Christianity are unfortunately both considered fundamentally "fake" in American politics.

Not lost on me that we never see any articles about how a Mamdani or a Hamawy or an El Sayed represent a kind of positive reinforcement of masculinity and masculine presence

neighbors are once again bringing groceries to a terrorized population trapped indoors thanks to elon musk and the government we bought

The Secretary of the Interior is saying right now that wind power is a national security threat. So, that

They literally met in the Situation Room to come up with a defense for the President of the United States raping children.

crafty skeeters, 2 questions :) if anyone has painted unfinished wood (this is a mid-sized tray), do you have to seal it before using it? also, has anyone used wrapping paper as informal wallpaper? thanks <3 #craftsky

Trump announces "maybe I'll seize the capital of the US if voters displease me" and it'll be nothing more than a blip on the news at best
