“We’re going to flood the zone. You’re going to see more ICE agents [than] you ever seen before.” The time to get whistles into the hands of your community is right now. We will send you whistles, for free, in quantities of 100-thousands. We do it every day. linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

This is for *your* kids, you understand. The tech elites send *their* kids to private, screen-free Montessori schools. They know exactly what they're doing.

Is the Metro Transit website not loading for other people, or is it just me?

They play Eminem on Cities 97 now. I learned this when I heard “Lose Yourself” gently emanating from the radio on my cubicle-mate’s desk.

Simplifying Metro Transit's fare structure is a good move. sahanjournal.com/sponsored/co...

I cannot stop thinking about this!!

Two nights ago, I said Trump had been using our troops as pirates in Iran and a Republican got mad. Well… the president just admitted it. He literally bragged about doing piracy.

People who are talking about young people needing to learn AI because they’ll get left behind have it exactly opposite. People need to figure out how to navigate the world expertly without AI so that then AI becomes a really helpful tool.

Was chatting with an economist friend of mine, who thinks AI has been a game changer. But in the way that because he’s an expert, he can use it to do things faster and better. It’s quite clear that AI prevents you from becoming an expert.

people still want to act like nihilism is cool but it is actually bullshit compliance. humans are not going away. we get to decide if future generations suffer or if they live free. hope is punk as fuck. our oppressors want us to believe we have no power and nothing is possible. it’s not true.

See the whole thread—this is a social scientist likely targeted for his expertise on Iran and opposition to the war. There is a petition and a legal defense fund in the thread.

Me 10 years ago: the Trump kids are pathetic losers, but at least they’re comic relief from their father. Now: WE MUST END THIS BLOODLINE IN ITS ENTIRETY, NONE OF THEM MUST ESCAPE OUR RAGING FIRE

President urges Iran to start peace negotiations by releasing non-existent, AI-generated women some rando posted about on X

TELL YOUR REPS: MN needs a senate vote on #SF3699 aka "protected spaces and show us your faces" aka #STOPlawlessICE 💯 THRILLED to have 5 great #mnleg #mnsenate state senators as authors -- including Senate Leader Erin Murphy!! @epmurphymn.bsky.social

A handful of companies monopolise the web, with unprecedented access to our data. But there are many more ethical – and often distinctively European – alternatives

T-3 days until my clothes buying ban turns 9 years old When you stop shopping as a way to combat boredom and as the only way for “me time,” you realize how much you weren’t actually shopping because you needed anything, and how much was just about filling a hole or finding short term dopamine.

You cannot honestly expect me to believe more training will remove this mindset. Get rid of DHS

“As far as I can tell, it’s the practice of ICE to throw everybody’s documents into a black box and then lose it.” Immigrants in Minnesota have been released from detention centers without work permits, Social Security cards, licenses, and other documents that prove their status.

It’s both funny and cosmically correct that the U.S. men’s hockey chodes will have to sit through 2+ hours of rambling from their addled little king while the U.S. Women’s team gets to skip the speech and party with Flavor Flav in Vegas

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending *** As of the end of January, there have been no convictions."

When being royal and having hereditary power comes with more checks and balances than an elected democracy….

The Attorney General’s office and the Minnesota ACLU are in the midst of several legal cases that challenge federal agents’ actions, requiring the evidence the public portals could help gather.

For a whole year, DHS hid that they murdered Ruben, a young man in Texas, after a traffic stop. Just like they did with Silverio, Renee, Keith, Alex, and Linda, they lied and avoided accountability. How many more people have to be executed before my colleagues realize that reforms are not enough?

Small towns without instruments will be “left behind” and “overrun with pool halls”, says musical instrument salesman.

The DON’T COMPLY IN ADVANCE people were right

“If you follow the Constitution we can’t break the law”

“You want ICE agents to have to identify themselves before they try to kidnap or kill you, but you don’t want to have to present a birth certificate to be able to vote” I mean… yes

All they do is lie, about big things, little things, and everything in between. A huge thank you to every member of local and regional media who are actually doing their jobs right now.

ABC: Do you still have confidence in Pam Bondi as AG? MASSIE: I don't think Pam Bondi has confidence in Pam Bondi. She wasn't confident enough to engage in anything but name calling in a hearing. So no, I don't. She was responsible for the document production.

This is really important to me. So many Minnesotans have been activated by this experience. We've been a very politically engaged place, but I think we're about to see actual civic activity go off the charts. We (the local politics sickos) need to bring people in with grace.

I arrived too late to an abduction yesterday. Ice vehicles boxed in a food delivery driver on the highway. They took him, and when I came on the scene (with a few other neighbors in cars), his keys were still in it. We found his phone, a debit card, his car title and registration.

imagine putting this money into a new deal 2.0 and fixing roads and bridges, providing housing and healthcare to everyone, and streamlining immigration processes

🧿 warding off ICE in our neighborhood

Marilyn Monroe - 📽️ Niagara (Henry Hathaway, 1953) Monroe’s acting is usually underrated in general. But Niagara is one of her most memorable showcases, a somewhat brief role that hangs over the movie like a storm cloud. While Joseph Cotten goes a little hammy, she makes their sombre marriage real.

If there's ever been a time to NOT be incrementalist, this is it. The most political capital you're gonna have is right now. And we got Gestapo death squads in MSP and TB spreading through concentration camps in Texas. If you can't find a win there, get out of politics. The Epstein Class, baby

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

this is the administration hennepin county sheriff dawanna witt thinks will get off minnesota’s back if she capitulates to them

"The state has an undercover vehicle registration program for law enforcement activities, but state and federal officials would not answer whether... DHS may be using it. The state has threatened to remove those privileges for the federal government." Threatened? Why not remove privileges NOW?

This story - read the thread because he has an update.

Summers in private: endlessly scheming with the world's most famous pervert to get a young female colleague whom he calls by a racist nickname to fuck him at conferences. Summers in public: "I don't see that many women in my field, it must be because they're bad at math"

This is a remarkable @nytimes.com split screen: A huge 3,526 word + photos profile on Sen Britt who "can't stop thinking about the boy ICE detained" But Rep Jaoquin Castro- who actually got Liam Ramos out of detention & back home- gets no interview, no pix, just 116 words inside a story. WOW.

On top of everything else, here is Marimar Martinez's defense attorney explaining how to delete a tweet, after a prosecutor last week said he assumed there was a way to do it but wasn't sure:

And the percentage of those detainees who have NO criminal convictions continues to rise — up from 70% in December to 74% in January.

Update: @eshockmanwrites.bsky.social reports that Elizabeth and her mom were released from ICE detention this evening. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel? Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again. And they almost shot some kids in the process.

The entire press corps should walk out, not come back, & we simply shouldn’t tolerate this. Months of “Joe Biden won’t do a press conference.” A nonstop national story. Same with Harris in Aug/Sep 2024 & interviews. Trump does this stuff & everyone shrugs. It’s appalling.
