Trump on Powell: “I was surprised he was appointed” (Trump appointed him)

Did you know the Twin Cities has the largest municipality-owned and nonprofit-operated electric carshare fleet in the country? Evie is now threatened federal funding cuts, but can survive with more users. It saves my family $10k/year by not purchasing a 2nd car. Check it out: eviecarshare.com

Underrated tweet.

Trump Is Gutting Weather Science and Reducing Disaster Response “The Trump administration is leaving communities naked, without the necessary tools that could help them assess risks or reduce those risks,” www.nytimes.com/2025/07/13/c...

Freedom from kings. Freedom from fascism. Power to the people forever. ♥️ Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸

Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.

I have have a better idea… do Stuxnet again, instead…

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

FIFA recognizes that racism is the official policy of the Trump administration, and that an anti-racism campaign is therefore not possible if the World Cup occurs in the United States.

I was curious how the police showed up when the gunman was still at Hortman’s house. They went out of caution. Big ups to this sergeant www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Like people think there’s a central authority that can cancel a protest titled “No Kings”

Assassins dress like cops & the secret police wear masks and no ID

For whatever it’s worth, there is still a very large crowd at the MN Capitol.

See point 4 below

This morning Minnesota woke up to news of a brutal act of violence targeting public servants. I am heartbroken to learn that our Speaker Melissa Hortman, Sen. John Hoffman and their spouses have been shot.

Good news everyone! Looks like we passed both measures A and B in Huntington Beach in a massive blow to our absolutely shitty fundamentalist fascist-loving MAGA city council, so pour yourself a beverage of choice and FUCK THOSE FUCKING FUCKS AMERICA FUCK YEAH

Unrelated to anything, is “Space Force” still a thing?

Twitter: this is how men with huge balls fight. This is what masculinity looks like Bluesky: this is the first messy breakup of pride month

Ah yes, as guaranteed in the First Amendment, Americans may enjoy free speech as long as it’s in sync with what the administration is trying to accomplish

TACO 😂😂😂

There it is. 5.13% on the 30yr. An 18-year high. 🇺🇸 @mikezaccardi.bsky.social

I think it’s weird how people are “opposed to surveillance” until they have their hands on the surveillance apparatus. gizmodo.com/fbi-director...

Hey friends - my friends at MOCA are auctioning a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity - to throw out the first pitch at a Twins Game. Super cool! one.bidpal.net/mocabwt25/br...

I wrote up a detailed analysis of TM SGNL, the unofficial Signal app that senior Trump fascists use to organize their war crimes micahflee.com/tm-sgnl-the-...

Who is getting excited about Minnebar this weekend? So many great sessions, it's hard to choose which to attend! sessions.minnestar.org @minnestar.org

Here is the portion of the new memo where @AGPamBondi purports to authorize federal law enforcement to enter the home of any person even SUSPECTED of being in Tren de Aragua WITHOUT getting a warrant first! They call it a "reactive apprehension." I call it unconstitutional!

Same.

Got this from my friend @sparkycole.bsky.social www.justsecurity.org/107087/track...

So basically our core biomedical agenda has gone from cancer and heart disease research with major investments in alzheimers/dementia research to jacking up the sperm count of teenage males and a new wild goose for the 'hidden causes' of Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The great thing about fighting back against this stuff is that if you end up losing anyway you get the same outcome you’d have gotten from complying but you don’t have to fucking hate yourself too.

3/4. If we accept the idea that moving a person from one place to another undoes rights and disempowers the judiciary, we are endorsing the basic Nazism practice that enabled the killing of millions.

He’s going to say it’s vaccines and then it’ll be reported as “he says it’s vaccines but others disagree” and in the meantime the programs that make life for autistic people so much better will be gutted.

The Social Security system is crashing, locking senior citizens out for long stretches nearly every day. And Trump's solution is to lay off 1000 more workers and slash the IT budget by 50%. Start asking if the purpose is to crash our economy and society. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This is TONIGHT at the Bryant Lake Bowl! Doors open at 6, come at 6:30 to hear a half hour set from Dissociate before we start the show proper at 7pm. I will be reading a performance-style version of "The Year Without Sunshine." www.bryantlakebowl.com/theater/scif...

Alex Ovechkin breaks Wayne Gretzky's NHL goals record by scoring the 895th goal of his career.

There was a post about this on LinkedIn that explained the issue well www.linkedin.com/posts/fredri...

100,000+ people marched at the #HandsOff rally in New York!

Hands off Social Security. Hands off Medicaid. Hands off veteran care. Hands off our kids’ education. Hands off our rights. We’re going to fight like hell to defend our democracy from Donald Trump. #HandsOff

Wow. #HandsOff rally in St. Paul, Minnesota is massive!

Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials. Imagine if I had said to law firms that you will not be allowed into government buildings. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me

Trump's tariffs could increase the cost of an iPhone 16 Pro by almost $300. Who pays for it? Us or Apple? And if we moved iPhone manufacturing to the U.S.? Let’s just say… get ready for a bajillion-dollar iPhone. We broke down the bill of materials. www.wsj.com/tech/persona...

Translation: 🖕 the small businesses

I once had Elon scream at me on the phone for 30 minutes because the super-specialized cameras "needed" for the Model X line vanished in shipping. He knows nothing.
