I see nothing wrong with monetizing nuclear warfare. In fact, the free market will provide us with the most efficient quantity of nuclear wars.

Call me a rube, but I think it's good when media publish good opinions and I think it's bad when they publish bad opinions.

ICE is still here in MN, and our neighbors are still in hiding. Rent is due TODAY, and I’m scrambling to raise funds to keep immigrant families in need out of eviction court. Can you help?

There are too many of these Vindmans running around. The DNC has to be growing them in a lab somewhere

🗳️ In 2019, Labour won 67% of the vote in Gorton and Denton. The Greens won a mere 2.5% of ballots.

Tonight, the Greens stormed to victory with 41% while Labour crashed to an all-time low of 25%.

Speaking as a state worker: Klein has been the most outspoken DFL state legislator against taxing the rich. We have an austerity state budget largely because of his efforts. IMO he absolutely cannot be trusted with a Congressional seat. Either Little or Berg would be fine though.

New research with @aaronsojourner.org of the @upjohninstitute.bsky.social posted on @northstarpolicy.org's blog. We find that Operation Metro Surge caused declines in employees working, hours worked, and businesses open, leading to an estimated $106 million wage loss for Twin Cities workers.

Captain, it's Wednesday

Every neighborhood in the south I've lived in has craft breweries and brick oven pizzas. Except in Edmond, OK, which is basically just a big strip mall. It did have nice Ethiopian food though

Tim Walz had a narrow DFL majority for 2 of his 8 years as Governor, and he's spent most his time since then trying to negotiate away the achievements from that legislative session. Truly delusional punditry here

It really is fascinating how overt it now is that there are certain - really not controversial - ideas that you aren’t allowed to say on television.

I am running for Congress because we urgently need leaders who will stand up for our rights. We need leaders who understand that treating human beings like human beings is a moral obligation, not a political question. We need leaders who will work hard to help humanity, not serve the elite. I am a first-generation college graduate, the mom of a young daughter, a proud union member, and a public defender. I have personally experienced many of the challenges that working class people face, and I understand the urgency they demand.

SCOOP — Tom Suozzi has a Democratic primary challenger in the NY-3 congressional race.

Danielle Welch (@daniwelch.bsky.social), a public defender, has officially declared her candidacy.

Welch gave me this comment about launching her campaign:

Bunch of diving cunts

there is a lot still to go on this fundraiser and these women need your help. deporting a married trans woman to the US right now is not going to end well for anyone.

if you can help, please help.

Graph showing estimated ICE deportees at MSP Nov 10 - Feb 20; sporadic activity of around 40 people per flight some days is shown before Jan 5, followed by a large crescendo to 250 people per day that lasts several days, before decreasing, with no flight on Feb 13, and a handful of people shown each day for the last few days.

7 detainees were loaded onto today's ICE Air flight at MSP.

The number of detainees leaving MN is down, but demand for rent/food assistance remains high.

What’s that? Bari Weiss canceled the future of journalism?

The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering

The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

The situation with the bull We finally managed to wrangle the damn bull out of the china shop. Which admittedly took some doing. There was a moment or two there amidst the heavy breathing and collecting ourselves afterwards where we thought it might run off back to – I guess the rodeo? A barn? Wherever these bulls emerge from. Save us the trouble. Naturally it headed straight for the fruit stand next door. Kicked the hell out of it as you’d imagine. Watermelons rolling everywhere out into the middle of the street. Drivers all backed up and leaning on their horns now. A guy zipping by on a scooter and not paying attention absolutely ate shit when he hit one and we all had a pretty good chuckle about that before we realized he was seriously hurt. I guess it goes without saying that the timing of the workers trying to install a big plate of glass on a shopfront window up the block could not have been worse. Someone had the idea to go ask the bull what it wants. To negotiate with it. See if it could be bought off perhaps. I know bulls don’t think like us they said. I’m not stupid. But we were out of ideas and so we tried that. Boom. Horn right up the butthole. It was like a direct shot. Like a bullseye I suppose. Wait is that how they came up with that term? Once again we were at an impasse here with respect to the bull. What about shooting it someone suggested. Right in the fucking head. With this here gun.

We finally managed to wrangle the damn bull out of the china shop.

all the media being stenographers for the feds and just repeating the drawdown nonsense should go to the whipple building today so they can see the same amount of masked men leaving in convoys of vehicles, and whatever this is too, and report accurately what’s happening on the ground in minnesota
