Also, if any of the Cavs want to, an errant full speed pass right in Betsy DeVos’s face would go a long way to boost morale.

Worth noting that one reason you’re benefitting so fully from the Star-Tribune’s timely, extensive coverage of unfolding events is that it’s a metro newspaper that hasn’t been systematically starved to further enrich shareholders and executives.

Everything sucks, but… Jarrett Allen clocking Mo Wagner just now made me cackle.

I think any NBA/NHL team with games schedule for Minnesota should refuse to go. (Sorry I’m not up on my PWHL locations) I’m surprised Steve Kerr even stuck around to give it a go tomorrow.

Abolish ActBlue

I think I might make this my screensaver

I'm at the federal government’s ethnic cleansing campaign. I'm at the federal government’s ideological terror campaign. I'm at the combination federal government’s ethnic cleansing and ideological terror campaign.

so much talk about a José Ramírez statue, need more talk about a José Ramírez rain garden

I don’t think NBA.com.bluesky has any photos of Cavs players other than Mitchell.

When America is obliterated and this hunk of space is revived, I think having a Parliament is the way to go. Think about what it’d be like if we could dissolve the House & Senate?!

The Dolans owe him more than they’ll ever be able to pay him.

I keep thinking about this front page and how it's a good example of media getting the priorities right. It would be easy to lead with the big protest, and that is a major story. But the top headline is WHY we marched, and deserves the most attention.

FFS…

Will First Energy’s lobbyist pay for Householder? (Also: his lips look like a cat’s anus)

It really is kinda wild just how many MAGA influencers are either Hollywood hopefuls, has-beens or never-would-bes and you would think people would connect the dots when it comes to that. Hell, the MAGA Overlord himself is a B-list celebrity

Hey! If you’re doing a podcast or a story about the Winter Olympics and need a guy to talk to, I’m still available to talk your ear off about bobsled, skeleton, or luge for as long as you need.

I would like to gently request that AI pharmacy bots stop trying to kill my mother

Breaking NYT: The FBI agent who sought to investigate the federal immigration officer who fatally shot Renee Good has resigned from the bureau, according to two people familiar with the matter, after leadership pressured her to discontinue a civil rights inquiry into the officer.

Before ICE, I never realized how much of "keeping the public safe" involved wrecking cars.

Jesse Welles on Renee Good's death at the hands of ICE. Now they'll circle the wagons, drape the man in a flag, and say, "Don't trust what your eyes can see." They'll say, "It's her fault instead for getting shot in the head when we all watch the same damn thing.

Current* conditions near Lakewood, OH:

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

it's really good that Oracle bought TikTok, a business that only loses money, at a time when it took on $56bn+ in debt and $240bn in lease obligations for GPUs to rent to OpenAI, a company that will run out of money. This could all have the funniest ending ever

Where are all brave COVID warriors speaking out about the governor telling them how to live their lives? Maybe they want to get frostbite!! Don’t impede on their liberties, Mike!!

As much as I bag on local news, Betsy Kling doing an impression of her dad invoking the Blizzard of ‘78 should be her Emmy reel 😂

a free idea for investigative reporters would be to try to get to the bottom of how much DHS is spending on rental vehicles and rental vehicle replacement, because it's got to be a substantial amount.

All three people arrested by the feds in connection with the protest at the ICE pastor's church — Nekima Levy-Armstrong, Chauntyll Allen, and William Kelly — have now been ordered released. Judge's order as to the first two: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Citing attorney-client privilege for a public prosecutor is hilarious. Who is the client if not the public?

Franklin County Prosecutor Shayla Favor’s office has provided one of the most redacted work calendars I have ever seen in this line of work.

On a downtown street in Minneapolis, as people stream out from the massive march, Mary Tyler Moore says “fuck ice.”

We've made this Sinister Minnesotans shirt from our Stan Kelly comic this week. Net proceeds from this shirt will be donated to local organizations doing their part to keep Minnesotans safe and send ICE agents home to ruin their own fucking communities. Fuck ICE and stay strong, Minneapolis.

— Israel kills 3 journalists, including CBS contributor — AFP, the other impacted outlet, condemns killing & calls for investigation — CBS doesn't, instead peddles Israel's claim that they were targeting a group with "a drone affilliated with Hamas" Inside the Bari Weiss-led CBS response:

I just read this in my inbox; I had forgotten the hell Minnesota has dealt with in the last 8 months. Just heartbreaking - and the sign of an unserious country that shouldn’t exist in its current form.

Brilliant

I'm across the ocean, but these are so pretty.

Do you know how bad it is to root for Jamie Dimon? thehill.com/regulation/c...

I think I could get on board with this...

This former SID called that as soon as gambling was legalized but yeah, thanks for the enlightenment. I'm available for more painfully obvious observations, even though I am female.

Have a larger story on this coming, but I’ve been embedded with this group, and this story from yesterday is part of what they’ve been doing in the city: religionnews.com/2026/01/22/h...

Someone ask the folks at the March for Life this weekend about this.

Because the Dodgers went bankrupt, MLB agreed to tax their TV money as if they were still a broke. That lets the Dodgers keep about $66 million more every year than they otherwise would. This exception runs through 2039, according to a league source. youtu.be/7xPt9AuxEAM

This is so emblematic of how rich people are treated in general, with reverence and kid gloves.

we need a tomlin and mcdermott tell all. sit down and talk about these fucked up orgs and how much you were holding together
