A screenshot of a long political outreach text message from Minnesota CD05 candidate Latonya Reeves, followed by a reply that says, "Hi Latonya! Glad to hear I'm speaking with you directly, vs. a staffer. Just so I make sure I address you properly, do you mind sharing your preferred pronouns?"
Weird how I never got a reply to this... Must be tied up personally responding to everyone else 👀
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.
I as in “I pledge to abstain from voting on anything actually meaningful in my first term as city councilmember“
This is just a simple typo, someone kind enough to correct it would simply swap the "aud" for "ey" so it accurately reflects where the real corruption is...
🔥🔥🔥
the AI labour stuff is never going to be liberationist / humanist. it’s very stupid to believe that. the entire premise is a built off of stolen materials. like, a 3 day work week ‘due to AI’ would require the owners of any business to do something they have literally never done: say ‘I have enough’
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
Oh, I wasn’t kidding. 😈
No legitimately I have had ideas to start a more nature- and community-focused scout program for many years now but haven‘t had the time or resources to act on it. But now might be a better time than any!
As a former Boy Scout and parent of a kid in scouting today, capitulating to this is disgusting and indefensible on the part of Scouting America. I thought the days of toxic scouting were mostly behind us, but I was clearly wrong.
Totally unrelated: who wants to start a new scouting org in MPLS? 😅
1. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced that under a new deal with Scouting America, formerly Boy Scouts of America, trans scouts will be forcibly outed and segregated from peers of their gender.
The policy is the latest cruel capitulation.

MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now.
They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.
GO DONATE.

Fuck this and everyone who helped get things to this point. Trans rights are human rights—full stop.

If my caucus is any indication, Democrats in the cities currently occupied by ICE want the whole damn thing abolished actually.

if you feel like passing around a link today and helping fundraise for rent that will actually get paid today (and in the next few days for families who have a grace period) you can send here.
we will be going hard all day. i won’t be posting about it because I don’t want to flood your feeds.
Think about it like this. This ICE agent was on camera and unmasked — fulfilling one of three "demands" Democratic leader Chuck Schumer just issued in order to agree to save Republicans and give DHS even more money.
And he was still threatening to kill someone.

Been waiting for a reliable Large Language Moodel
You’ll never guess what this is about (unless you’re a native Spanish speaker of course)
How much more in your face can it be?
"Why are you asking me for my paperwork?"
"Because of your accent."
"You have an accent too."
"Where were you born sir?"
"Where were you born at?"
"Put your hands behind your back."

Shooting at VehiclesFifteen cases were reviewed where shots were fired at or into vehicles by CBP agents.Observations:Based on a review of the submitted cases, it appears that CBP practice allows shooting atthe driver of any suspect vehicle that comes in the direction of agents. It is suspected thatin many vehicle shooting cases, the subject driver was attempting to flee from the agentswho intentionally put themselves into the exit path of the vehicle, thereby exposingthemselves to additional risk and creating justification for the use of deadly force. In mostof these cases, the agents have stated that they were shooting at the driver of a vehiclethat was coming at them and posing an imminent threat to their life. In some cases,passengers were struck by agents’ gunfire. Little focus has been placed on defensivetactics that could have been used by shooting agents such as getting out of the way. Itshould be recognized that a ½ ounce (200 grain) bullet is unlikely to stop a 4,000 poundmoving vehicle, and if the driver of the approaching vehicle is disabled by a bullet, thevehicle will become a totally unguided threat. Obviously, shooting at a moving vehiclecan pose a risk to bystanders including other agents.The cases suggest that some of the shots at suspect vehicles are taken out of frustrationwhen agents who are on foot have no other way of detaining suspects who are fleeing in avehicle.Most reviewed cases involved non-violent suspects who posed no threat other than amoving vehicle.There is little doubt that the safest course for an agent faced with an oncoming vehicle isto get out of the way of the vehicle.CBP policy should be “Agents shall not discharge their firearms at or from amoving vehicle unless deadly physical force is being used against the police officeror another person present, by means other than a moving vehicle.” Training andpolicy changes should be implemented to implement this policy
