The Democratic Party does not work for us. It never has. It never will. It needs to be replaced. It's happened before in American History. It can be done, if there is a will for it to happen.

One of the elementary schools in Talmage’s school district had an ICE car drive around and then try to park in the parking lot this morning before being chased away.

Can confirm, every Signal chat in town either said nothing or made one snide comment and then immediately got back to work

I never have had any use for the incrementalist and reformist mindset most people take. It hasn't served us at all.

Yep, same. And sadly it's working because North Americans are notoriously feckless when it comes to fighting for ourselves against it's own systems. We trust the process until it's too late.

What in the absolute fuck!

Canada to Shut Down Its VHF Weather Radio Service - Radio World Environment and Climate Change Canada has announced it will be shutting down its Weatheradio Canada service, effective March 16.

The Canadian weather agency (ECCC) is shutting down it's radio and telephone weather systems.

I suspect NOAA to do the same soon.

We're really backsliding.

There's no reason we can't have both. Have precincts, but also have City Halls and County Government facilities be Voting Centers. Makes for an immediate contingency should a precinct have problems or long lines.

I will always prefer precinct, and people need to leverage Voter Time law to get there

If elected governor, my very first order of business will be to destroy the State Patrol helicopter.

That's my entire platform.

Dawanna Witt is cool with random men pulling guns on people. Cool. Cool cool cool cool cool cool.

MAYORAL VETO INCOMING: Temporary extension of eviction notification from 30 days to 60 passed committee 7-5-1.

Voting no: Rainville, Vetaw, Warren, Shaffer, Palmisano

Abstention: Whiting, who said he'd bring an amendment on Thursday.

My JR high sex ed students have for two years have made it clear that me showing up to facilitate class and not wear a Bluey shirt is unacceptable.

And so, each Wednesday, I oblige.

Yesterday's 7+ hour city council meeting was so long that it technically never stopped. The meeting will be called back to order at 9:30 so they can talk about what exactly MPD has been doing over the last few months.

The whole reason we have NPOs doing work that should be done by a government entity is because Protestants broke Labor, Socialism (secular), and Christian Socialism ~100 years ago.

Folks don't know all what we lost. It's been hidden.

I really appreciate Jason pushing back on Tom having a "white guy moment" (where the detrimental impacts of something are dismissed as 'fine' by white folk).

White Guy Moments happen. The important thing is to learn from them, and be better.

Yeah if anything the "people do dumb things and we should just be fine with it" culture contributed much to us arriving at our present situation.

NPOs may be doing good work and trying, but the highway to hell is freshly paved in good intentions. There's no pillory, just "do better".

Meet the Twin Cities Democratic Socialists - Longfellow Nokomis Messenger One of the busiest groups during last year’s city election was the Twin Cities Democratic Socialists of America. Since its official registration in 2017, the group has grown in membership and …

Bombing will continue until everyone has forgotten about everything else Trump has been doing.

Brain worms, man...

Bro, ICE is still here kidnapping people, now they’ve even got transit vans advertising fake companies.

More people should really stop and take notice when the supposed opposition party is calling a war illegal and unconstitutional, but will not suggest consequences of any kind for starting it.

They're also subtly de-escalating the severity by pretending this was solely an issue of permission.

It’s wild that so called “affordable housing” providers were advocating for people to face eviction & have to sleep out on the street. Residents have already been subsidizing their nonprofits w/ millions in mutual aid for their tenants to pay their rents. Remember this next time they beg for money.

What I'm getting from this is that the Navy said "no, absolutely not, tgat would be stupid," and Trump didn't like that answer b/c like... business is real to him, and war shit is not...

So now we're doing all this.

Wow.

I think one of our biggest problems is that politeness is just saying uncontroversial shit and agreeing with each other. This is an outmoded means of communication and the evidence is everywhere.

This creates cultural blind spots you could park a gas giant in with room on all sides to get around.

Gulf States in Race Against Time to Repel Iran’s Onslaught There are only so many air-defense interceptors available to knock down an almost limitless number of drones.

It’s about to get a lot bloodier for the Gulf States as interceptor stocks are more limited than Iran’s drone stocks. Good thing President Deals has this all figured out. www.wsj.com/world/gulf-s... (gift link)

Waking up and reading the news from the Middle East

at the northside forum last spring, candidate pearll warren said she wanted to look at the root causes to crime, but today in the city council meeting in a discussion about drug paraphernalia, she's ranting about people wearing traffic cones at their head at bus stops. super insensitive
