The common-sense step of extending this consequential public comment period, which began the day before Renee Good's murder, is a concrete way that @mndot.mn.gov can earn back some goodwill with communities harmed by I-94.

Also, every establishment Dem who said illegal immigration was a problem during the Biden admin has some culpability for where we are now.

Yeah, this is pretty much exactly what I thought about when I saw Musk's stupid racist tweet: Minnesotans have spent the last month and a half saying we will die to defend our multicultural community.

Elimination of emissions standards was one of the pretty clear policy stakes of the 2024 election and it received about 1% as much coverage as whether Tim Walz retiring from the national guard after 21 years was cowardly.

in 2017 a popular twitter game was to type a partial phrase then see what your phone auto-completes it with.

this proved so popular that it is now the only business model in the US.

To be fair Aster’s first time on skates involved me feeding her fruit snacks continually while she whined that it was slippery— might be much more magical and memorable during attempt #2 or 3

The reason that no one is coming to save us is because the people with the power and capacity to do so prefer things this way

Y'all may have heard about the incident last week where ICE agents pretended to have car trouble to lure someone from his house so they could abduct him. Here is the GoFundMe for his family. www.gofundme.com/f/support-th...

Need this on a t-shirt

kind of the outline of the top of a helicopter in white with go away written below it or as part of it on black.

seriously though

I don't think my fellow journalists quite understand how traumatizing and stressful helicopter flyovers are at this point. Can we please find different ways to cover things?

Impossible to see this story as about the shitty tech or quality of work: this is about capturing someone else’s labor & then (surprise!) claiming it as the company’s property rights

Sometimes I get a little upset when I live in a collapsing dystopia for many years

"Measured Labor Productivity Per Wage Unit Rises"

with alt text, because everyone needs to be able to read this 😭

do u think during the industrial revolution people thought the factory was their boyfriend

Just a reminder that the UC system was not a party in this litigation. Faculty, staff and the @aaup.org fought on their own. UCLA, and the entire UC system, should be ashamed of themselves, and their leaders should be reminded of their submissives every day.

4/11) In 2025, Delta tested “Fetcherr,” reportedly an AI designed to find the highest price before a consumer abandons a purchase. Delta has called that characterisation inaccurate, but on investor calls, execs hyped the tech as a “super analyst” that would end static prices.

And this includes prisons btw!!

I know a lot of people have said this already, but I can tell you that on the ground in Minneapolis people have been radicalized by what they have borne witness to so fast and so massively that the politics at both the local and state level are years behind the population and where they are at now.

It's unchartered, but we can see the terrain: the territory ahead includes masked secret police taking people to concentration camps but not new vaccines. That's our reward for a system in which fewer than 20 people, all of them deranged and malicious, control over $3 trillion.

This, basically:

Lmao this motherfucker

I’m descended from 18th century and earlier English-Scots-Irish settlers and their culture (outside of inventing mythologies to justify racial violence) consists of food that is either unsalted or too salty

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

1.) Print is a rent strike. I laid this out in theoretical terms in an episode of The American Vandal Podcast last month.5 The short version is this: technofeudalism is sustained by rents, which we pay in the currency of attention and identity (our data), and almost anything we do in a digital environment benefits, to some degree, companies who maintain an exclusive right to monetize user data (we cannot monetize it ourselves), further enriching the increasingly authoritarian-minded owners of those companies. It is very hard to buy anything anywhere, including print books and paper products, without generating some surplus value for technofeudalists. It is near impossible to do anything online without doing so.

Have you read @mattseybold.bsky.social 's excellent piece here? theamericanvandal.substack.com/p/against-te...

Flyer: BOND NEEDED. The family that runs a beloved South Minneapolis restaurant needs $5000 to pay for bond and legal fees to return a loved one from ICE detention.

We’re fundraising for bond to bail a community member out of detention. This family runs a beloved South Minneapolis restaurant that was already targeted by ICE. Now one of them has been abducted.

Thank you for anything you can contribute. I’ll keep y’all updated. 🩵

This is so deeply fucked. I wish these people would just admit they hate the idea of democracy and get it over with. This kayfabe bullshit is just silly at this point.

Death camps.
