It’s fine

As bad as this is, I promise if this isn’t the last straw for impeachment the next thing will be worse

This is the horror cherry on top of the egregious fraud, waste, and abuse sundae. DOGE fired the people who send NIH money to research labs—which is a complicated process—so now even more labs are going to go under. All while Jay Bhattacharya goes on a podcast and says no NIH funding was cut.

We are living through the country’s most corrupt administration ever. I can’t even find the words to describe the hyperbole.

So this has been happening in Mn..

Hey Trina Swanson in Minnesota’s CD8 race. Still think ICE and DHS serve a vital function?

Simple things that have big impacts

Goodbye, get lost, and we'll see you soon.

This is a map on the N. Minnesota border. The green is the BWCA. Colored cubes are mining leases. But the entire outline is the watershed. Notice the leases inside that line. So, yes. There are effectively mines proposed inside the BWCA

Kinda amazing to see someone miss the target here so badly. ALSO not one word from Klobuchar about the bill overturning the mining ban in the wilderness last week.

Kinda neat. Visit from our resident trash bear.

A young Pete Stauber would later go on to perform the same literal moving-of-the-goalposts to sell out Minnesota’s wilderness to exploitive executive extraction and extortion. Evil.

In this moment the house is voting on HJ res. 140. A bill that would overturn protections against mining in an area of northern Minnesota that is a treasured wilderness. The BWCA but also the surrounding Superior National forest.

This really should not be a surprise to anyone. But then I wrote a post in 2024 listing Hungary's influence op as one of the things NOT being covered bc of the 1000th Joe Biden Old story.

It’s like Hungarians didn’t even *read* Hillbilly Elegy.

A pair of eagles flew over us today at the capital in St. Paul during the No Kings protest

Turns out that when every Somali case I have in court suddenly got expedited and reassigned to a new judge, it wasn't just me! The DOJ has officially denied that there is an expedited "Somali Docket," but now the public data refutes their denial. Here are the highlights: 🧵 bklg.org/blog/somali-...

I'm not sure what to make of it, but every Somali I represent in immigration court currently (8 of them) have today had their hearings cancelled and their judges reassigned. They're now all assigned to a video judge from Louisiana and scheduled for court hearing in one month. 🧵

this is interesting because it seems like it's the same story -- Iran agreed to allow more more tankers through in response to a request from the US because "letting tankers through" rather than "opening the Strait" fits larger Iranian goals of establishing control of Hormuz x.com/i/status/203...

I’ve started investing in stocks: beef, chicken, and vegetable. Someday, I hope I’ll be a bouillonaire.

if you're travelling and you are a documented citizen (esp if you're white/white-passing), you need to speak up & interrupt any racial profiling you witness. We are absolutely defeated if we allow ICE agents to harass people in the broad light of crowded airports. Don't be a good deputy citizen.

“The worst energy crisis the world has ever seen” This time, yes, the president has everything to do with oil prices

One of my main reasons for never forgiving the turmp voters

Party hats will be encouraged

Last year’s Oscar post is just a sad reminder that none of these fashy clowns can be added to the “In Memoriam” segment yet

The most cringey of all trees is the face palm.

"The government should be run like a business. Businesses are efficient and effective. They don't waste money."

Wait, so, until this moment, did Mullin — who *serves in the U.S. Senate with Paul* — think that dueling was…legal?

Something about not learning from history. Doomed to repeat something something.

I’m having trouble orienting to the reality of the fact that the U.S. is in this stupid situation. But I keep thinking about how different the reaction would be if this was with a dem president in charge.

YOU ASKED FOR THIS! Downfall. Kristi Noem Edition:

I caught one in the wild! A NYT headline that licks the boot hard. Should read “Senator helps police pin veteran’s arm in door and pulls on his body until it snaps.”

Something about the her reaction over the pettiness of this is just delightful

I made a thing. I’m really proud of this one.

Proud to be at the Minnesota capitol building today to show support for protecting northern Minnesota wilderness and the BWCA

How does he still think tariffs are some kinda fee and not just a tax on goods? This feels so incredibly worn out to even point this out

Winter’s not over yet in Minnesota. Still doing the driveway dig out with my little tractor

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right. Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement. This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

Huh, how bout that

just calling it like it is

In an alternate timeline….

Oh boy. Finally

This and the absolutely transparent effort to stop or steal the midterms outright is where we’re at in 2026.

So excite! New single out today from my favorite weird band www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OdB...

And I’d call that award The Loomer

This is the same group. Please watch and share this video and educate yourself on how these Christian fundamentalist groups are shaping public opinion

I would check out the Kid Rock halftime thing but I don't get Corncob TV

I thought this was from WWII at first. But nope. It’s the Otay Mesa Detention Center

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Self organization as resistance and the truest meaning of the phrase “become ungovernable.” So proud of these Minnesotans! Additionally, the next governor candidate would be wise to recognize these people leading the ground swell of resistance in their campaign.
