ICE raided a James Beard award winning restaurant & because the chef/owner was prepared, left emptyhanded:

(living an unexamined life) yaaaaaay haha yay wheeeeee

CNN did not include this fact in their story about AT&T ending diversity initiatives, but they should have. we should have to reckon with the fact that AT&T has chosen to do today what a neo-nazi organization tried to force them to do 40 years ago. the nazis don't even have to ask anymore.

Reminder that this is an accounting trick. The USPS is required to fund 75 years of pensions for employees, which means they are funding pensions for people not yet born. Even so, nine billion for all of our mail and 75 years of pensions is an absolute steal

Apart from being incredible food, it also appears that Hola Arepa deserves your business for many other reasons. Awesome

Target is now allowing 🧊to stage raids in their parking lots in Minneapolis. Maybe plan your holiday shopping according to whether it will be dorectly responsible for the abduction and disappearing of your neighbors. #ClearTheIceFromOurStreets #TargetTarget

Pastor Black: While I was in the middle of using the words of Jesus, they opened fire on me. It was so clear that they had been so poorly trained, or — the alternative — that they had been deliberately told to escalate violence against peaceful protesters.

First of all, did KARE 11 verify the claim from DHS at the top of this piece? This administration lies. More importantly!!! This GM KNEW TO ASK FOR A JUDICIAL WARRANT AND THEY HAD TO LEAVE!! The training works! It’s all so awful but silver lining.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

This is obviously under attack right now, but: I got out of my homegrown jadedness about the US by diving deep into our immigrant communities. You may be over this place, but we have a country that has inspired and attracted millions of people, for decades, and we should fight for it.

helps to think about the details like any regular crime you'd see on one of the 800 cop shows that run on TV constantly: these guys committed one set of murders, thought it over, and then decided to kill the witnesses as part of the coverup. mention of drugs is just jingling keys at this point

It was another rough day in Minneapolis, but people were able to do some great work protecting each other from these Nazi kidnappers. A lot of inspiring work happening around the city - I hope you are able to plug in and get involved.

“the USPS must turn a profit” makes me want to set things on fire they put a clause in the fucking constitution about postal service, that’s how important it is nothing in there about “only if you can make money on it”

Minus five degrees and we have a sun dog over the Mississippi River at Fort Snelling

It’s never been more important to be able to figure out who your actual allies are instead of the people who can make content you’re willing to hit the like button on. Your enemies will try to present themselves as your friends and tell you your friends are your enemies.

95% of MN Somalis are US citizens. 58% were born in the US. The only reason to target this community with immigration agents is for the sake of racial profiling and harassment - which the US supreme court says is legal now. www.npr.org/2025/09/13/n...

Sounds like ICE showed up at Hola Arepa tonight and staff successfully turned them away because they didn't have a warrant

Sorry to anyone who thought Wokeness was annoying but as we now know it's the price we pay for a civilized society

The Budget has passed. I am on leave until 2026. I am bad at taking vacation so please pretend I am dead until a new calendar year. I still have to recover from this damn eye surgery.

Trump calling Somalis "garbage" en route to a literal militarized purge of the community is a real litmus test for Democratic party politicians. Imagine being so worthless that they can't find time even to speak up about it.

Oh my god dude

Stole this from the Cedar Cultural Center’s page since they aren’t here. ♥️♥️♥️

people thought Judith Butler was exaggerating before but she's been proven right, i think

I get why people are (correctly) shocked by how Trump has been talking about Somalis, but it's also indistinguishable from how a hell of a lot of Republicans talk about them back where I grew up. I wrote about it in the Star Tribune in 2019. www.startribune.com/st-cloud-and...

I have met so many Somalis in MN that rock and I am glad that so many have made the cities their home. I don’t want to even share the Trump videos because his comments are so vile and unlike the other doofuses online who say similar things, he actually can make their lives miserable.

Day 8 He's back again. All the same shit as last time. Some jewelry, a houseplant. Mostly birds. So many birds. Today's horrible addition: 8 cows and 8 women. I begged him to stop. I told him he can't give me people for Christmas. He winked and said he'd be back tomorrow

Yes. And a not small part of this is seeing how that same political leadership has/hasn't reacted to everything going on. The number of vote-blue-no-matter-who people I know who now talk about Dem leadership like a 2017 new DSA member is staggering.

Rep. Ilhan Omar: "I hope he gets the help he needs. It sounds like he's trying to deflect from the failures that he's had as president ... he's fought to be the head of the pedophile protection party."

there is a real financial incentive for me to be more sensationalistic, to intentionally court controversy, to get into public spats with messy people to generate free publicity and get people to hate-download my show... i actively avoid this! it looks miserable! but it would probably be profitable

i think the financial incentive to bait people into engaging with dogshit is a big part of how we got where we are.

Once again, one of the most consistently replicated findings in the history of experiments is that giving people cash with zero strings attached has massive social benefits for those receiving the cash as well as the community around them

Training tonight (Wednesday) on Zoom!

it should probably be a bigger story that the richest man on earth and leading Republican is a fucking Nazi media needs to stop beating around the bush. this is Nazi shit.

by no means is it particularly important to all of this, but the way they keep saying "permanently pause" is making me apoplectic

There's a couple reasons so many IWW songs are set to the tunes of hymns and one is that the Salvation Army Band would show up and try to stop workers organizing by playing hymns to drown out speeches, so the Wobblies came up with words so they could sing along. SA has been trash all along.

Dedham Priest pissing off all the right people by removing Jesus from the church's nativity scene and putting up an ICE WAS HERE sign in His place. www.boston25news.com/news/local/i...

Sometimes there's just nothing to say except what a fucking piece of shit this guy is

An attempted abduction was stopped this morning by multiple people honking car horns, successfully warning the person and driving off the ICE agents. Use what you’ve got!

Don't forget the SALUTE method if you're reporting on ICE in Minneapolis.

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong, it is right. No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness, it is a strength. No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited, it is unlimited.
