My daughter reported that the ICE presence outside her school during recess last week involved ICE officers sitting IN AN ICE CREAM TRUCK. And this wasn't kids misinterpreting. We had an email from the school the day it happened; we just didn't get the ice cream detail in the email.
It's Bandcamp Friday — all $ goes directly to the artists. Fugazi put something together from recordings made with Steve Albini in 1992. fugazi.bandcamp.com/album/albini...
New interview with Fiona Hill on the expanding war in the Middle East: "Once you get into these big system changes, you effectively get a world war...."

This is a real video from the official White House account on a war that is currently killing people. I don’t know how the US is going to come back from this.

Take Action Now: Call Mayor Frey and tell him to support Pause Evictions, Save Lives passed by the city council on 3/5/2026. Mayor Frey: 612-673-2100 Sample Script: "I am calling to ask Mayor Frey to commit to supporting an extension of the pre-eviction notice period from 30 to 60 days. Countless neighbors are at immediate risk of displacement and this measure is the bare minimum the City can do to protect our neighbors. Can I count on his support?"
Today, the Mpls City Council passed the Pause Evictions, Save Lives ordinance, which would extend the pre-eviction notice period from 30 to 60 days.
Take action now and call Mayor Frey (612-673-2100) and tell him to stand with our neighbors and extend the pre-eviction filing period.
From byelections to regime change: how gambling on any event fuelled the rise of prediction markets
I profiled Jason Chavez, the Minneapolis city council member who has been embedded in community efforts to combat ICE.
“To leave your constituents to face off with a racist fascist regime on their own, without having someone that has some power…I could not let my constituents be out there alone.”
I believe this was intended
When you ditch your core values, you can’t just put out some nice messaging and get them back 🤷🏻♂️

Apparently, Frey's resistance to ICE ends when landlords are impacted.
The Mayor has until Wednesday to change his mind.
Take a moment to tell him to sign Pause Evictions, Save Lives, and help keep our neighbors housed as we continue the real fight to protect residents. Call 612-673-2100 today!

Minneapolis City Council passes eviction notice extension from 30 days to 60. Same margin as in committee 7-5-1. Mayoral veto surely coming, and the votes aren't there to override it.
Voting no: Rainville, Vetaw, Warren, Shaffer, Palmisano
Abstention: Whiting
Senator, I sincerely hope you are serious about doing everything in your power to see that Noem is (along with numerous others) prosecuted to the fullest extent humanly possible.
Hell yeah! Enjoy!!!!
I worked at the Guthrie as a fundraiser for a while after the big move, >15 years ago, and could not understand why the main room wasn't booking music. Kraftwerk did a reunion tour in 2008 and I yearned to hear them in the crystalline acoustics of that space.
Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0
This is also a big one for me. The strawman argument is always "but what about the mom and pop landlords?" Well, most of them are sitting on goldmines that someone else paid for. They can always sell their multi-hundred-thousand dollar assets, walk away with their profits, and get a job!!

The average person has no point of reference for what a hypersonic missile is supposed to look like.
It was just a few years ago that people were warning us about how AI would be used for propaganda and the videos will look so real that it will be hard to tell the difference. That reality arrived way sooner that I was anticipating.
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'm p sure this is what the workers in severance do
