ICE hanging out next to the playground on my block in a literal white panel van.

Gather round, children, and let me tell you about a little faction known as the Tomb Lords

The lack of evangelical Christians? Let's take a little count of some of the evangelical Christians in power:

Speaker of the House
Secretary of Defense
The departing Secretary of DHS
Trump's nominee to replace her
US Ambassador to Israel
OMB Director
Director of White House Faith Office

Who cares what anyone thinks about BlueSky. Of course it’s shit, all the platforms are shit. Unless you’re an investor why would you go into bat for a platform whose managers also seem pretty shit

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

But Davis! Think of the guy who owns an entire building valued at $9mil! He is just a smol bean. He is just a simple man, never even seen the inside of a bank or met a qualified attorney in his life. He just woke up one day and had this portfolio

Having been a landlord who accepted Section 8 and worked with other Mpls affordable housing initiatives, I can tell you for certain, 1 additional month notice before evicting someone shouldn’t break ANY landlord’s back. You have collateral! It’s a building! Any bank will work with you for 30 days!

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

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.

Please take the time to do this! The useless mayor must be reminded that people want him to do the right thing for once.

Since it’s haberdashery day, the Mpls jacket project is advancing ... Snaps style will likely be in your hands around State Fair time due to production starting from scratch. Gotta sell >60 of these babies & I’ll need pre-payment. The same folks who are making these made St. Paul’s THE JACKET.

Adopt A Rent — Stand With Minnesota Adopt the rent of a family impacted by the ICE occupation in Minneapolis

dana you write blogs for a living and spend your time yelling at people 40years your junior on the internet, then complain when they are mean to you. i remember you from twitter too.

maybe you can support Minnesotans still suffering from ICE continued presence or use your wisdom to do this in IL

its not! mentioning they exist, that they have rosters and alumni is not the same as 'deviate from your mission statement' and 'back a campaign to the hilt' or even 'call your list'.

i will now directly ask you to do work tho- maybe you can help my neighbors who are still impacted by Metro Surge

if you came here to lurk comments, inform me of the margins, or are mad at me for besmirching the sacrosanct Oklahoma Democratic Party- plz take that energy and put it into helping my neighbors who are still facing crisis thanks to operation metro surge.

this is why i mentioned them. just like their mission statement says- their recruits could be the next X, Y, Z. im constantly impressed by their staff and the candidates they work with
9yrs of phenomenal work recruiting/supporting downtickets in oft abandoned states, also means they have alumni!

this is true, but its worth contending- it can waste opposition resources for those who care more about the dollars/cents but it more than that. It can lead to everyday people testing and building those muscles for future races. Paulette Jordan didn't have a shot in ID, worthwhile run tho

Miss 100% of shots you don't take

The 3 currently filed candidates are not what any state party should call top or mid tier recruits, Dem Sen candidates do 5-10pt better than Pres there

What do I know, I only held Dem offices, attended DNCs, & flipped a legislature with an novel apartment program.

Lmao I'll never delete, I can guarantee you that in this last decade of decline & destruction that I have done more directly for the democratic party both nationally & locally than you have and have actively done more to combat fascism in my community and in youth than you have

Look me up lolololol

Muting this now.

Ya miss 100% of the shots you don't take

weird shit happens in weird times (remember Doug Jones? Hated GOP candidates can fumble a seat, ex: what if fmr Superintendent Walters runs)

And more primary candidates than the 3 who have raised collectively less than 80k is a good thing

1) There are 3 people who are running and none of them have much of a footprint fundraising or otherwise. None have been elected to any level of office before

2) yah i understand that, I'm from TX, got fam in OK. Ya miss 100% of the shots you don't take and a birddogging campaign can be useful

Trump just gave Oklahoma Dems such a golden opportunity, filing deadline (unlike most places) hasn't passed yet. Any appointed Sen is easier than Millionaire Mullin

If they wanted to [they don't] they have 4 whole weeks to find someone. Maybe @runforsomething.net has someone great in their rosters

She's very lucky she's in a room filled with the only cops on Earth who aren't on their phones.

Markwayne Mullin is vile and they’re going to use the fact that he is Native (Cherokee Nation) to justify the violence that I’m sure ICE will continue to enact against indigenous peoples.

I don’t recall him having anything to say when Natives were being abducted and told their tribal ID is invalid

Hear directly from Aliya Rahman, who was brutally pulled from her car and assaulted by ICE on her way to a doctor’s appointment, on the importance of extending the pre-eviction notice to 60 days. We are proud to have passed this policy today and are calling on Mayor Frey to sign it immediately.

A spokesperson for Newsom: he “believes in Israel’s right to exist." I am fed up with politicians thinking that proclaiming belief in an established state's right to exist is noteworthy.  Do they say that about any other state, including recently created ones, e.g. Pakistan?

I combed through Gavin Newsom's past comments on Israel & saw just how rapidly he's moved left in the past few months — as he starts seeking more attention on the national stage

At the same time that Israel's public image among Democrats and liberals is in total free-fall, Deborah Lipstadt says it's actually not enough to proclaim belief in Israel's right to exist. You have to go further.

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.
