My granny grew up in this area. The original sign was definitely there not too long ago but in bad shape. This looks so nice 😊 Same script.

UNSURE - 21%
Maybe it’s because I’m a colonial historian but so many of these white nation states seem to behave exactly like they did in the 19th century: ‘your leaders aren’t right for you,’ ‘we’re only killing you/colonizing you/installing puppet leaders for your own good’
Bowie, 100%. 😞
Rather than telling ourselves that we have to “catch up” to some imagined goal of normalized AI use in higher education, Columbia should take advantage of its prominence as a university to propose something better, like classrooms free of screens, oral examinations, and an end to slippery, relativistic standards on AI use from university administrators. Our response to AI is an opportunity to distinguish Columbia as a reservation where minds are developed without the crutch of a chatbot. As incoming University President Mnookin begins to navigate Columbia’s many financial and political threats, she should reassert the true value of a liberal arts education: learning for learning’s sake
The administrators might have been conned by the AI hucksters, but the students, my friends, are all right.

JFC, cut that shit in half and you’ve eradicated hunger, provided healthcare for all and made education free for all Americans. What the fuck are we doing?
We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”
I suggested someone use Asst and Assoc. She sighed and was like ‘nah, I think of it as Ass Prof, Ass Head anyway.’
Been working from home in my pajamas the past two days. Just now ventured out, blinking, with the trash and to check the mail. Silently apologized to my neighbors as I sailed hither and yon in pjs and ratty bun. I know you were watching, Cindy.
here's a video from this afternoon in Eden Prairie MN of ICE agents camping out as a bus stop.
Again, this is terrorism.
Pritzker: "An American president should be standing up, calling for calm. That's not what this president ever does. In fact, he wants the temperature to go up. Why? Because what he's looking for is an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act, to bring actual troops into American cities."
The reason the “paid protestor” accusation is so popular is that these are people who cannot imagine doing something because it’s right, to stand up for a principle, talking to other people like that.
❤️ you, Minnesota

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.
The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.
Meanwhile the editors at most of our national media are still mandating watered down both sides weasel words instead of describing what is going on plainly.
Hard to imagine a better illustration of "weaponizing the justice system" than the AG hearing local politicians be like "what ICE is doing sucks, also please don't riot" and immediately declaring it a crime against the regime
‘If a tortoise in Madagascar walks 1720 steps, how many hats can it wear to equal purple?’
at least part of everything this government does is to impress a handful of psychos on twitter
I am watching Sen. Alex Padilla talk on the Senate floor about being assaulted last week, as I watch New York City controller Brad Lander get assaulted at immigration court. In between reports on the two MN Democrats shot, one murdered, last weekend. But both sides, people, both sides.
what is it called when people who aren't cops and don't have a warrant drag you away, because I don't think "arrest" is the word
I feel like Wolf Blitzer is somehow responsible for this.

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc
Sure didn’t have ‘Trump imitates Jello salad next to President Musk in the Oval Office’ on the bingo card
i just think if you're going to found a website called "the federalist" you should have to have at least a tiny understanding of what the federalist papers (like, say, 78) have to say about things
sreenshot from the new york times reporting that Stanford University’s provost is talking about how the loss of funding from national institutes of health funding will cost the university $160 million. that’s not the way to get this changed — the people think “stanford is rich; no big deal.” leaders need to talk about what this will cost the public
for pity’s sake, I am BEGGING university leaders to stop framing this issue in terms of what this will cost the university. people dont care!
EXPLAIN WHAT THIS WILL COST THE PUBLIC: closed hospitals and clinics, skipped treatments, loss of access to experimental drugs, unemployment, recession
Matt Gaetz: The halftime show you just watched is clearly the regime’s response to Trump’s historic gains with black men.
Eternal victimization mentality.
Who is "the regime"? GOP has trifecta control of the federal government and a big supreme Court majority. Tech and finance are on your side.
There's no pleasing these people because their demand is to dominate and to be revered for it.
