Mood in minneapolis right now

I will be voting against the Dept. of Homeland Security funding bill this week. Full statement in the thread below.

"It feels like we're performing CPR on a corpse: the US Constitution." Great line, & not from one of our so-called leaders but this random guy

EXPLAIN *WHY* YOU CAN'T ORDER THE STATE POLICE AND/OR NAT'L GUARD TO ARREST ICE/KICK THEM OUT. I know there are reasons but you have to spell it out. Don't just say "we can't give them what they want." Explain WHY they want it.

One of the top Presidential contenders got off the fence

1/3 If lawful carry serves as a justification for lethal force, then we don't actually have a right to carry. A right that can be used as a retroactive justification for killing a person exercising it is not a right in any meaningful sense. You could build a broad coalition on that.

Time to beg Senate Democrats to not pass the appropriations bill funding the murder in Minneapolis I’m so tired…

Numbly retweeting Bill Kristol because he somehow has more moral courage than 98% of Dem electeds these days

Because the storm is below me, it’s sunny rn but extremely cold. -4F but with the sun, the feels like is 4F.

We’re gonna need a bigger hell

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

Had to leave the oven door open to lower the temperature for roasting veggies and it only took a minute to get to the optimal temp. But let me tell you, that minute of hot air bathed me in bliss and soothed my frozen soul

❤️❤️❤️

cannot adequately describe how great this is to see there are more of us than there are of them and they will not break us

There are 4 top races in the Wisconsin state Senate. Democrats need 3 of the 4 to win a majority. One of the Republicans just announced his retirement. open.substack.com/pub/charlesa...

One of Biden’s and the Democrats’ worst decisions was this law to force-sell the only non-silicon valley social platform to a coalition of Trump allies. Just titanically poor judgement very explicitly aimed at censoring pro-Palestine speech that will now be used to censor all liberal speech instead.

I've talked to people on the ground about the strike here tomorrow, and the single thing everyone brings up is just how shockingly wide the support for the strike is. Businesses that no one would have expected to support it are doing so.

Every good history book starts here.

Lol Osborn is gonna force Republicans to spend money in Nebraska again.

NEW: The House just passed the DHS funding bill. Seven Democrats voted yes: Henry Cuellar of Texas Jared Golden of Maine Laura Gillen of New York Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington State Don Davis of North Carolina Tom Souzzi of New York Vincente Gonzalez of Texas

Congress passed the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947 (over Truman's veto) to make general strikes so incredibly difficult to organize that there hasn't been one since. That there is a general strike happening in a major US city on such short notice is nothing short of a miracle.

Nehls: I would like to quickly address the police officers from January 6th. And I can tell you that the fault does not lie with Donald Trump. It lies with the US capitol leadership team. Fanone: *Coughs: Go fuck yourself*

The Ice Tits Descendeth...

This should be boosted regardless if you're anywhere near Minnesota. Since organizing general strikes is something that should already be on the minds of Americans across the entire country, might as well talk about and support any where they may be popping up.

This technology needs to be outlawed

Kentucky Republicans are considering impeaching a Supreme Court justice who flipped a conservative-held seat in 2024 and shifted the balance of power on the court

2026: the year so bad that even the Third Amendment is suddenly relevant

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

They literally will be labeled anti-law enforcement no matter what by MAGA so stfu and do the right thing you fucking spineless dolts

Today Zohran announced a new rule banning hidden junk fees at hotels. The rule applies to NYC hotels, but also to hotel stays in other destinations that New Yorkers book in the city.

Make sure to balance out your righteous anger towards modern society in healthy, productive, and fulfilling ways. Tell your friend you love them. Write up positive reviews of things you enjoy. Go for walks and get some sun, or cuddle up with a pet . Don't be angry all the time, you'll burn out.

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs is calling for an end to the state’s data-center tax breaks. The state has already lost $38.5 million to these big tech tax breaks, and after public outcry the governor is saying it's time to end these exemptions. goodjobsfirst.org/good-jobs-fi...

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland. And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

i'm sure i locked it... right?

They got suburban realtors talking like Patrick Henry, it's over

If DOJ is no longer investigating the murder of Renee Good they should have no problem relinquishing the investigation and all of the evidence to the state of Minnesota. And if they refuse, why couldn't the state sue the FBI for obstruction of justice?

Like, if Dems value the Atlantic alliance, they’d better (1) speak the f–– up for it, (2) make clear the pendency of consequences if Republicans break our treaty obligations to upend it, and (3) show at least the level of concern as they do about the price of eggs.

The biggest weakness of Democrats is they don’t advertise the times when they pass good laws or execute them. Mamdani understands that’s a losing strategy

Work had to negotiate a new contract with the government so now no one can work from home anymore

Buffalo losing yesterday sucks… Guess I’m rooting for da Bears now

hard not to notice that as trump's polls crater and gop gets crushed in election after election, news orgs are not racing around hiring progressive commenters and boasting about how they're reaching out to real americans by following the will of the volk.

Are you serious lol
