@jamellebouie.net on why Hegseth/Trump are attacking the military. @onthemedia.bsky.social

I spent the afternoon sitting in the parking lot that is the 10 listening to the Ezra Klein/Ta-Nehisi Coates podcast and it’s pretty staggering: a literal hour of centrist White liberal not hearing what Black people have to say.

Totally.

Showing up to work to avoid a shutdown is apparently a minimum threshold Republicans can’t be bothered to meet.

portland update: this just crossed the street in front of me holding a bright yellow sign that said WELCOME TO HELL

I don’t know who needs to hear this but you can now pick up a @mplsforthemany.com “Rank 3 for Change” lawn sign at @moonpalacebooks.bsky.social or Bench Pressed in S Mpls

Lol

After Trump says he’ll turn US troops on blue cities as a training exercise, I can’t wait to hear @amyklobuchar.com talk about the price of beef.

This is the resolution that every Minnesota Democrat in Congress except for the principled CD5 Rep. Ilhan Omar approved

Wow, McSweeney’s just laying out all the bad-faith scapegoating going out right now. So many receipts.

Whether it’s Fox News’s Brian Kilmeade advocating killing homeless people by “involuntary lethal injection” or MSNBC’s Matthew Dowd bringing up things that Charlie Kirk said, both networks have crossed the boundaries of decency.

So if Trump was an undercover Epstein informant, that means he worked for Robert Mueller and was part of the deep state.

I mean, come on!

Lmfao

Grossly irresponsible of the Times to have this ludicrous credulous spin as the top story the morning after a president who rules by fiat proclaims a totally specious emergency to militarize the capital - an editorial insult to our intelligence and our democracy.

Just had my first (and last) try of Task Rabbit. Cost me $130 (incl. a $33.25 "Trust & Support Fee") for a half hour in which a $300 fridge was moved 20 yards from my kitchen to my garage.

ngl, I teared up

Am honored & delighted to be part of @newrepublic.com's Sept issue featuring a series of historians reflecting on Trump's war on our history. Many thanks to @dblight.bsky.social for curating this. The first 4 articles released online today; others coming soon! newrepublic.com/series/67/tr...

smh

Rob can turn a phrase: “‘I am trying to break your heart.’ It's just verse after verse and it gets noisier & noisier. We got Glenn Kotche on drums now, who's back there playing hubcaps and floor tiles & running electric fans across piano strings. He sounds like the Keith Moon of the junk drawer.”

Just learned the very useful phrase "If Naomi be Klein, you're doing fine. If Naomi be Wolf, oh, buddy. Oof."

jesus christ this is an actual fisking

I remember this vividly (esp. trying to coordinate coverage for MnIndy but finding the cell network down due to everyone descending on the river to check on loved ones or gawk).

I had heard people refer to this and I assumed they were exaggerating. My bad.

how much of the money from the ICE/tax cuts bill is just going to go to scammers, do you think? www.richmonder.org/this-tuckaho...

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

They waited *more than an hour* to enter the Hortman home after watching Mark Hortman get shot in the doorway Unbelievably tragic & heartbreaking And, of course, they publicly congratulated themselves on a great, lifesaving police response when they’d let a lawmaker bleed out. Uvalde is everywhere

Another failure to lead by @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social.

Wordle was such BS today.

Hot take: a chyron sounds way cooler than it is.

You don’t say. 🙀

Don't let them distract you. Trump's toadies are releasing MLK docs, targeting Obama, doing whatever they can to make you forget he was pals with a pedophile.

Republican consultant Dustin Grage posted what has long been an open secret: “Every Republican in Minneapolis is going to be voting for Jacob Frey.” That’s probably why 28% of his donors are Republican donors. Republicans want Frey, but the Minneapolis DFL wants @omarfatehmn.com.

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.

Hunter Biden has a point. And a quite colorful one.

When is this going to end? What is there to even say anymore?

The Times continues to kill its credibility. (Don’t get me started on their Mamdani piece).
