Saw a tidbit from Rian Johnson saying that all the end credits portraits in Wake Up Dead Man were hand painted during in-person sittings with each actor portraying their character as they posed. This rules in any world, but in a world of AI slop it rules even more

Mahmoud Khalil on exile, liberation and Ice detention: ‘It was a clear act of cruelty’

Here's interview with US citizen scanned by ICE's facial recognition tech. Walking home from gym, authorities come over. He says he's a citizen. Put him in car. Only release after scanning his face “Flagrant violation of rights and incompatible with a free society” www.404media.co/how-a-us-cit...

EFF has long warned about police use of facial recognition technology. Now we're seeing exactly what we feared: Axon is testing this tech in body-worn cameras. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

New data shows that the CCRB retroactively doctored public data for more than 10,000 misconduct allegations against NYPD officers. hellgatenyc.com/ccrb-whitewa...

“At least three times a week, a pedestrian is hit by a vehicle in the capital city.”

you should def direct your $$ away from major media orgs bending the knee but i do not know the way around the problem that we actually need major media orgs with resources and scale. doesn't mean it should be the existing ones, but there's no indie way to spend months reporting out one CECOT story

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but don’t forget to shovel out your trash/recycling cans so you don’t get fined by the city

Help Dani get their car back, and boost their posts

Imagine what can be built

After years in a food desert, North Flint residents opened a community-owned grocery store, restoring access to healthy food, jobs, and dignity. This is what happens when communities come together to invest in themselves and reclaim their future.

It’s a honor to be invited to partner with Augsburg University’s Sabo Center as a Community Changemaker on campus! I led a three-part series on the role of art in local movements: a presentation, followed by a banner-painting workshop and screen printing workshop. www.augsburg.edu/sabo/communi...

What % do people set their humidifiers to in MN?

Joined thousands of my neighbors on Lake Street yesterday— to say ICE you are not welcome here. We love all our immigrant neighbors. In Minneapolis we stand against the authoritarian attacks by this Trump administration. We will prevail. The people united will never be defeated.

Every once and awhile this Charles Schultz letter pops up on social media. It is always worth reposting.

If anyone was wondering what it looked like to live in an environment of state-run news media, we're here.

You know what? I've realized with all this going on one thing I'm really lacking is an up to date supply of @medickimw.bsky.social curses & insults. Whatcha got for us?

A federal judge denied an emergency request to immediately close Florida’s Everglades immigration detention center known as “Alligator Alcatraz.” The ruling allows the facility to remain open while multiple lawsuits challenging its legality and detainee access continue in court.

It’s Day 20 of the ICE occupation of the Twin Cities. Today, as rumors continue to swirl about a major ICE surge in the Twin Cities, we are reminded of the power of community. Keep your whistle with you, and be ready to step up at any time. We know that ICE flees at the first sign of resistance.

Dani is $300 away from meeting this goal & getting their car back. I'd love to see it met, but it would be thrilling to exceed it to help with basic needs like food they don't easily get from the food shelf (meat is especially scarce), cleaning supplies, cat food & litter...

Unless this man has his body in front of feds trying to kidnap community members, the work he is doing here isn’t about protecting and keeping safe every person in the community. It’s about keeping his job and his future safe. Mpls should know better by now than to take a cop at his word.

O’Hara’s job and his future as a chief elsewhere rely on metrics—not systemic change—around MPD solve/clearance rates. And some are in the single digits right now. O’Hara can’t move the needle on MPD failures if witnesses/others fear MPD and ICE are working together. kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

O’Hara has received media attention for his press conference talking points—promising to “keep every person safe”—but those words ring hollow from a Chief whose also said the MPD won’t step up when the feds are blatantly breaking laws and harming people. www.startribune.com/police-are-w...

I started TIMELINES when I got an early copy from my best friend, the author, Morgan Hagey. Knowing it was 1st in a trilogy, I promptly told her it was unreadable. "I can't just READ this knowing the others aren't out yet! It'll be agony!" Now, all 3 are available— even in human-narrated audiobook

Frantz Fanon was born 100 yrs ago: why isn't this a huge intl even?? he is one of the most important thinkers of the 20th century

Hey Minneapolis pals, I know someone who needs some help with moving on Monday or Tuesday this week. This family has a kid and they are scared about being profiled while renting a truck. Does anyone have a pickup truck they can help out with for a little bit of time?They need about three hours.

Please read this thread up & down. If you don't know the chaotic & spiraling costliness of puffery poverty—all while raising 2 kids, I beg you to see the ways everything—late fees, inability to access basic needs, lack of freedom of movement... How it adds up to make life impossible. & help Dani.

Usually the Strib will say “so and so declined an interview request” when someone won’t reply. Today they write that DFL Senator Grant Hauschild, who voted against a ban on local governments signing NDAs with data center developers, declined seven requests to explain his vote.

Seriously, the tamales. We buy the pork (puerco rojo) tamales by the dozen. They reheat nicely in the toaster oven or microwave. Also get a quart of refried beans and some of their excellent homemade salsa (15+ options)

The possibility of Minneapolis adding autonomous vehicles that don't know what to do outside of normal conditions is bad. The current status quo of completely lawless and antisocial behavior from human drivers is also bad.

$300/650!!!!!

Doing quick math (not my strong suit), it'll be around $650 needed between what I cannot pay currently and to actually get it from the repo place. $danirockasota V: djamiempls

I know there’s an economic case for further de-emphasizing print, but but it’s a helluva sales pitch to convince people to support your org with a party at the printing plant you just closed so deadlines will be more ridiculously early, not to mention workers laid off.

I also cannot take a bus to work because of where my job is located so I'll have to take a Lyft monday.

$danirockasota V: djamiempls If anyone can assist. Its about $100ish to the repo place in addition to what I have to pay to release my car through the lease company

Fucking ghouls doing this right before the fucking holiday.

Earliest I can do any fucking thing about it is Monday. I work tomorrow and Monday (not until later on Monday) but I'm going to have to tell my boss I need to figure out another day to work this upcoming week. My car was literally out there an hr ago. I have $400I can put towards this. FUCK
