You may not have this info, but...biased in what way? Like too woke or something? Or against her somehow? She seems like a complete turd so I would be biased against her for that reason.

Kristin is the best, and Clancey's is a delight. Pro tip: the fancy French butter makes a great hostess gift.

Head to 38th and Grand, get a sandwich, and see for yourself!

State Patrol helicopters are back today, this time over North Minneapolis. Remember in 2020 when they claimed helicopters stopped 92 carjackings, then it was revealed the Public Information Officer lied and it was 2, or maybe none? At $1000/hr, much more transparency is needed about these flights.

Minneapolis! Côme on down, the parking lot party with the Dropkick Murphys is not crowded and there are folk partying at the Black Forest & at Jasmine 26 & the Prodigal and it just feels really good ❀️

All the comments are basically "yeah, the problem isn't the merchandise, it's the capitulation, and we're not going back." Which, yes! But don't forget the $1m donation Target made to Trump's inauguration. Let's remember ALL the reasons not to go back!

Since the Dow isn't at $50,000 anymore maybe someone can do something about the epstein files.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone.

It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.

The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities.

It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population.

It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some 50 miles of concrete highway.

We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat.

We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people.

This, I repeat, is the best way of life to be found on the road. the world has been taking.

This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.

We are heartbroken to wake up to news of American and Israeli military strikes in Iran.
These unjustifiable attacks are a dangerous escalation in Trump's scorched-earth
Middle East policy. President Trump values the wants of Netanyahu over the will of the American People. Furthered by the Trump Administration's repeated circumvention of Congressional approval to do so.

Hasty, reckless bombing leveled an elementary school in Iran. Local sources are already reporting dozens of civilian deaths.
As Jewish people and Americans, our voice needs to be loud, clear, and united against this heinous action carried out in our name.

This violence is unconscionable and illegal.
Immediate action must be taken by both the
US and Israeli governments to de-escalate tensions created by Trump and Netanyahu.
We urge Congress to bring Articles of Impeachment against President Trump. If not now, when?

I am publishing a statement here on this morning’s strikes of Iran carried out by the US and Israel.

As a Jewish DFLer it is imperative that we speak out. Additionally, I invite all support from the entire DFL community. Please sign on here to support this statement: forms.gle/8W5jfdMZuFjG...

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

WCCO looks at one day's worth of petitions for release filed by those arrested during ICE surge. Majority with no criminal record. People were picked up on the way to get prescriptions, going to work, and showing up for scheduled immigration check ins.

We need to abolish ICE. They are already operating unconstrained by law, and they are arresting and violently intimidating those who even *monitor* their activities.

Tricia McLaughlin is an equal to Kristi Noem with her lies and permissiveness of abuse.

Call your senators. Call your reps.

Prisons are for people who've been CONVICTED of crimes.

Most people in these warehouses - without proper food or sanitation or worse - haven't even been CHARGED with crimes.

And thousands are CHILDREN.

This will be another of America's greatest shames.

β€œUptick In Abductions”: ICE Ramps Up Targeting of Minneapolis Legal Observers In one 30-minute stretch, three Minneapolis legal observers were arrested as ICE ramped up its targeting of community volunteers.

It bears repeating that Tom Homan is a fucking psycho and Greg Bovino's exile means functionally nothing when it comes to what's happening on the ground in Minnesota.

If there's ever been a time to NOT be incrementalist, this is it. The most political capital you're gonna have is right now. And we got Gestapo death squads in MSP and TB spreading through concentration camps in Texas. If you can't find a win there, get out of politics. The Epstein Class, baby

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.)  If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

This is how I feel...I'm giving/ doing, but I know others are doing/ giving a lot more. The community (especially the women!) is responding so well, but there are so many people in need, and I'm so angry because OUR OWN GOVERNMENT is causing these acute needs FOR NO REASON.

Posting something that blatantly racist, or allowing a staffer access to the president’s account with no indication it’s not him posting something that blatantly racist are both impeachable offenses.

The fact Republicans refuse to impeach him makes them complicit in all his crimes.

Tonight at 8:30 PM our constituent Ricky was pepper sprayed by ICE on 18th & Polk. 2 agents parked their car, got out and approached observers, started pepper spraying Ricky on public property, and then drove away and left.

Nothing is changing on the ground in Minnesota. ICE must be abolished.
