All Trump wants is to make us think some people don’t have the same humanity as others. The Frey campaign and All of MPLS spent millions of dollars spreading Islamophobia for the last year doing Trump’s dirty work for him and set this up perfectly. They should be ashamed but I’m sure they don’t care

I hear that Mike Newcome is just Dean Phillips and Corey Hepola in a trenchcoat

You do not, in fact, have to hand it to the Nazi.

I used to handle interlibrary loans for a public library. ILL is a magnificent expression of the idea that readers deserve books, and books deserve readers. It’s libraries everywhere pooling their resources for the benefit of everyone. Killing IMLS could have killed ILL. This is great news. 📚

ya'll aint ready for the discourse happening on the wall of my local punk bar in 2018

Neither rain nor sleet nor ICE

The entire post is beyond stupid, divorced from facts, and a parody of "the immigrant stole your cookie"-ism," but I want to call out "groceries cost too much" as one particular stupidity. Over 40% of farmworkers picking crops are undocumented! Deport them and prices go UP!

Fun fact: Waymos have issues detecting and deciding what to do about makings made of salt. Do with that information what you will. Really funny when you make a circle, just saying.

Rare is the enemy who deserves no quarter or mercy. Whose only value to you is in their inglorious and ignominious demise. Behold, our common and irredeemable foe- The Waymo. Water the ground with the synthetic oil of your enemy.

Santa Fe is now the first city to tie the minimum wage to the cost of rent. The Santa Fe City Council voted to raise its minimum wage from $15/hr to $17.50 by 2027 — but they also added another provision. Future increases will factor in inflation, and the price of housing.

And what legal route would that be? DHS is very consistent in criticizing people for not having chosen an option it has made unavailable to them.

Last month when asked about a Waymo causing a fatal crash, their CEO replied, "we don't say 'whether,' we say 'when.'" This feels like it would have been useful to include in the article. Our streets are already dangerous enough due to cars, we don't need a new threat. No thanks indeed.

Five months later, we are still waiting for Team Frey to be vindicated for the righteous scolding they gave everyone for overreacting to the "suspected criminal conspiracy" at the root of the Lake Street raid. www.startribune.com/federal-agen...

Pope Leo wants you to go watch "Angel's Egg" (1985, dir. Mamoru Oshii).

Greg Abbot called CAIR, the largest Muslim civil rights organization, a “terrorist organization” and said Muslims are a “threat to our freedom.” The normalization of anti-Muslim hate speech is vile. This bigot should have no place in elected office. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/u...

literally nobody: this guy: when you think about it, at least the Nazis had morals dude shut the fuck up

Today’s federal enforcement action in St. Paul was disgusting. Abolish ICE. It’s always important to question the validity of info you receive when you are told it’s not immigration enforcement/ICE. I’m thankful we had people on the ground updating us so we can let our loved ones know the truth. 1/

reposting all these with alt-text as well i know there's been ICE sightings growing the past few months & between the rhetoric from stephen miller & kristi noem along with the city now posting these, it's giving the sense that we're next up for more targeted shit

A friend of mine was hit by one of their vans per reports from my people there

City and state leaders need a real rapid response plan for ICE presence in our communities. "Executing a search warrant" yet pepperspraying observers and kidnapping workers. We can't trust what they say. We have to recognize what these operations look like and act accordingly.

Our office is on site as the situation continues to evolve. There is a visible ICE presence, but we continue to be told this not a widespread immigration raid. We are working with community and government partners to monitor and ensure any action remains within the scope of a valid warrant.

ICE confirmed at the raid at Bro-Tex on N. Hampden and Territorial Road in St Paul, just east of 280. Situation appears to be similar to the Lake/Bloomington raid that happened back in June, so please be careful.

The most serious allegation against Summers is that he sexually harassed a student and they're going to let him keep teaching?

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected. And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.* Tax the rich. Greg Ryan in @bloomberg.com:

If you’re pro-Palestine and live near the Hennepin County library Ridgedale branch they could use your support. People are celebrating getting that library to take down display related to Palestine. I don’t wanna link to it but here’s a couple screenshots

"Groups of kids, groups of East African kids that are coming from surrounding communities and not just one community, kind of all over the place," O'Hara told WCCO. Excuse me? Blaming and targeting the East African community is disgraceful. www.audacy.com/wccoradio/ne...

Encouraging info from CM Chavez. My issue here is that the entire history of Big Tech is doing illegal things and daring people to stop them, which rarely happens. We need to say a robot can't drive AND provide a framework for strong penalties when the companies inevitably ignore that law.

My understanding is that state law requires a human driver. According to MPR, Waymo hired lobbyists to explore the possibility of changing state laws to allow for the operation of autonomous vehicles. I’d be supportive of an ordinance that requires a human to be physically present.

paging @jchavezmpls.bsky.social @robin4mpls.bsky.social please get something on the books to get rid of these or something to regulate them if at all possible 🙏🙏

The city auditor raised concerns with MPD’s compliance with the city auditor’s office way before the election. It is a complete malpractice to not name who is in charge of MPD. It’s depressing to see publications not hold Mayor Frey accountable.

🧵🧵 I remain opposed to tiny home villages because they’re an expensive, often unsafe interim that more often than not does not lead to permanent housing. lapublicpress.org/2025/11/empl...

Devastating piece on the human toll of Kavanaugh Stops. Especially infuriating to know that rich white guys like Brett K can simply close their eyes to the human suffering their racist jurisprudence has unleashed.

This is what all in pricing with itemization looks like in practice. This is what musicians have been fighting for federally and in the states, despite the opposition of Ticketmaster, StubHub, Vivid Seats, and other predatory resellers and their proxies.

NEW — Rashida Tlaib and 20 other members of Congress have introduced a resolution to officially recognize Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people. It notes that between 10/23 and 11/25, the US sent $21,700,000,000 in military aid to Israel and authorized $30,000,000,000+ in new weapons deals.

reported the department of war as "illegal & urgent" 😤

Really glad to see this; and especially glad that it's coming out of the Public Health & Safety Committee. It is a public health issue but it's also safety. Thank you CM @jchavezmpls.bsky.social and the rest of the committee! Please don't let it stay a report.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

That’s why I’m excited to announce that I’ll be bringing forward a proposal to formally establish a Democratic Socialist Caucus within the City Council — and I will be running to lead it.

Last week, 65,000+ residents voted to elect a democratic socialist mayor. All Council races that had a DSA-endorsed candidate won by overwhelming margin. These results send a clear message: people want leaders who will fight for working-class communities, not corporate interests.

So on Epstein, the Democratic position should be "Trump should resign." If you are a Democratic elected, practice saying "We demand the president's resignation" in front of a mirror as many times as it takes until the dry-heaving that comes from having a phobia about actually doing politics passes.
