It’s crazy that success/impact largely comes down to whether someone does or does not have the dog in them and there is zero way to quantify that.

In my opinion these people are the real heroes of the resistance to ICE. There’s no credit, no one can talk about their work (because they directly contact vulnerable families). It’s expensive and dreary and neverending. ICE follows them around. But they refuse to abandon their neighbors

Kudos to schools for doing a little survey action and then actually making a change. Pretty swift stuff. I know it wasn’t what some wanted but progress now is better than analysis paralysis

Please beware of anyone who pitches a “if metro just did this” single solution to housing affordability. It’s a shallow way of thinking. It’s not true. People can find their lanes for advocacy but please don’t trust someone who says “this is the only thing that’s needed”.

I’m stunned how much of excellence in life is just effort. People at all levels make excuses, blame others, just check out. And when you don’t do those things you’re exceptional. Talent really doesn’t have much to do with it. This is a tweet about Cooper Flagg.

If you see me anytime in the next 48 hours just know that my mind is running through NBA trade scenarios at all times.

I can’t speak for all YIMBYs but for myself-using your time to keep people/housing out of your neighborhood is not in the same universe as keeping a data center out of your neighborhood. I know the difference and it’s that human life matters and ai is fake.

Ask the average person how the myriad of call lines and patient portals and digital lab results and virtual “care” is going. The only people who believe this “the cure for bad policy choices is bad tech” nonsense are people who are insulated from the impacts. These mfers all use concierge care.

This is why I don’t buy it whole hog when nashville folks cowtow to the state. There are other options.

What if I told you that you aren’t burnt out, you’re exploited and ChatGPT is just a beer back to the shot??!

Have you guys seen Star Wars? I’m watching for the first time and wow. These Trump guys look straight empire. Just going off appearance, there’s not a single rebel looking dude among the fascists. Imagine looking into the mirror every day, seeing the empire, and thinking you’re the rebellion.

Anyone have a guess if parks centers will be open tomorrow? If MNPS is still closed I can’t tell if the rest of services will stay closed.

I love MN

There was a time where these guys wouldn’t have made it off the block once this news came out.

Anyone know if this is an issue?

For the number of Big Truck Guys I see in Nashville, I have yet to see a single Chainsaw Guy. It chills my Midwest bones to see the lack of real skill flexing.

Kudos to Nashville Fire for clearing the wires from our road. Those folks are always finding a way to be helpful.

For all their constant whining about being forgotten, Gen X ain’t making much of a case for themselves

So no one has access to an indoor basketball court? I don’t know any high school teachers? I’m about to become a church goer for court access.

Melania called for unity and senate Dems took heed

If you want to feel real joy today, show your child this scene from one of Americas greatest cinematic achievements. There’s few better on screen displays of true friendship. youtu.be/5JnO2zKfyBs?...

Can Giannis just be traded already? This is extremely boring drama.

Chuck Schumer hates the taste of victory but thankfully we’re not counting on anyone but ourselves now.

I do not think the Democratic Party should let itself get outflanked from the left by Bill Kristol and a Bush administration DHS architect

Look, it's been hard for me to figure out how to talk about the difference between healthy masculinity and bullshit, weak, fear-based control fantasies, but BOY HAS THIS WEEK MADE EVERYTHING MORE CLEAR.

BEGGING leaders to remember they have power and that winning is good! Not “small victories”. Big victories! Taste them! Like them! Make them happen!

Not a soul on earth who has watched the videos can believe that this is just a change of leadership fix. Don’t fall for it.

Please give up the ego trips. We just don’t have that kind of time. Help people get involved.

Outstanding work, Minnesotans. Organizing that’s organized. Love to see it.

Amongst all the evil choices, I am increasingly heartened by the people joining from the sidelines, realizing that we are the ones who save us. No purity test needed. Just coffee, community, and collective hope.

Target Center dunkers wear “ICE OUT” t-shirts

There are more of us than there are of them. Our goal is to make that more true every single day

Opsec culture actively hurts us by limiting how many people can join our networks. It makes it harder to get neighbors in and makes them fearful of joining. Since our greatest security comes from sheer weight of numbers this actually makes us less safe.

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

If the admin's strategic goal was to break public resistance to immigration enforcement activities, it was a tactical mistake to go to the Twin Cities.

minnesota coming together to show us all how to stand up against ICE is such a beautiful display of what solidarity looks like

definitely not sobbing as i sit here and watch this

It’s completely unacceptable that refs can give a technical with no explanation: I want stripes on the mic announcing what was said. Make it messy, ref. Let us experience every drop of no stakes drama.

Related to the Mark Carney speech. You have to keep your arms up if you want to hold up the sky.

bro there’s a gofundme to crowdfund attorney fees for a preschooler who was kidnapped by our federal government and shipped across state lines and his senator is posting about high school hockey while every other elected official is debating whether to give a zillion more dollars to the kidnappers

Thunder Bucks is not a rivalry

The supreme courts choice to protect fed independence shows they do have values and it’s just money. The folks standing up to protect the fed after dismantling every other norm or institution are reminding us that courageous does exist but human life just doesn’t warrant it.

It’s extremely clear what he means. The sell off of treasuries was a smart move and it cause trump to pull back. For now.

I wonder if weather forecasts like this weekends ever make NES wish they allowed power lines to be buried.

I think it's pretty remarkable how, despite the trillions of dollars we've spent and the century of constant campaigning we've been subjected to in order convince us otherwise, some part of us *still knows* that car dependency is a terrible way to live, and most people still don't want it.

I’m so glad there’s a hell

This is potentially the most important public international relations speech of my lifetime.

NO

What’s instructive here is watching someone who’s not good at the game. It shows the veneer for what it is. He knows he’s supposed to pivot to nonsense but his humanity is poking through and he knows how stupid he sounds

I really hope that Amy Adams Strunk knows that she’s reviled because she’s a thief and she’s bad at her job, not because she’s a woman
