just heard a guy on youtube say "in the grand scream of things"

@ilhanmn.bsky.social doing the right thing, as usual. I don't know what the fuck is wrong with the rest of these Dem fools.

“Your anger, and for some of you boycotts, did not come up at Tuesday’s meeting. And that’s because your issues are not the toughest Target faces.”

Translation: Target says, “Go fuck yourselves, libs.”

Doctors sound alarm as ICE presence delays pregnancy care Many pregnant immigrants have faced difficult decisions in recent weeks as they balanced having a safe birth and the risk being detained by ICE, Twin Cities health providers say.

We should be so lucky as to have a corps of NHS midwives on bicycles à la Call the Midwife.

But what do you do when your patient needs a transfusion or complicated surgery and ICE is the wolf at the door?!

I simply do not believe that even Senate Brain could make someone respect Markwayne Mullin

this is awesome (and you should enter it in the state fair art competition) ❤️

A good day to remember that multiple local law enforcement chiefs and Our Mayor have made public statements this year trying to normalize and defend pre-surge DHS/ICE. They hunger to return to the old arrangement, not to dismantle the post-19/11, anti-immigrant machinery that made this possible

Conference calls are so early 2000s

The Minneapolis council member on the front lines of the resistance to ICE • Minnesota Reformer When heavily-armed federal agents and Minneapolis police officers surrounded a Lake Street taco shop in June, Minneapolis City Council Member Jason Chavez was incensed.  “This is completely wrong,” Ch...

Chavez isn't the only progressive elected official who has been out on the streets during Operation Metro Surge and beyond — but he is possibly the most personally affected by the operation. Two of his uncles have been deported in the past few months.

If I were to return with the intention of sticking around for a while, I think — I hope — I'd manage to gravitate to my community, but who knows...I know I'd be angry a lot, which isn't great

maybe it's because I immediately and abruptly (if fleetingly) go back to feeling what it was like to be a 17 yo there, and I'm just conjuring up ghosts

there are places I've always hated there and places I've always loved, and I still harbor the suspicion/resentments as well as the affection

Seeing “Weird AI” in sans serif always triggers a “who’s on first” volley in my mind’s ear

Living here for two decades—longer than I’ve ever been anywhere, longer than I expected to be here—has been a trip. The last three months are what has really cemented it, though.

Yes, and I have great affection for Texas and many of its people. I miss it. But every time I return to visit I feel the differences acutely, and thinking about what kinds of public services I’ll need as I continue to age (Bastet willing)—just as one example—I know going back would be a mistake

She performed great at “Homeland.” No reason to believe she won’t shine in this new fantasy role as well.

I do like that they invented a new stupid fake thing for her to pretend to be in charge of. That courtesy

Updating the occupation/medical comparison for March:

Now it's like when things are *slightly* better and you're just out of the hospital. You're still *pretty damn sick*—but now everyone expects you to do normal things, not just focus on surviving. You have less support. In some ways it's harder.

Living in North, near the Mississippi, bald eagles are almost just, like, whatever normal neighborhood bird. When my kids were small, there was one that liked to sit in a tree on my alley, staring at them as they walked to the bus stop.

Better things ARE possible! (But please don't eat my kids)

I used to think I’d want to move back to Texas one day but now that it’s a possibility I’ve concluded it’s preferable to live in my Mpls bubble. I can still find plenty of people to fight if I’m in the mood for it. But I don’t have to. I can also enjoy the vast camaraderie.

I love that the winners were both from states that experience a polar vortex from time to time

Yup, we fucking bombed the first-aid clinic set up in the immediate aftermath of the first bombing.

It’s budget cut season at MPS. The district is aiming to cut $1 million from Edison budget alone. I’m sure every school is facing similar deep cuts.

We need more $ for schools, not cops!

💯 I moved to the ward in 2005 and he’s the most responsive, just, and respected CM whose leadership I’ve ever had the pleasure to experience

whoa

10K!

But also, as someone married to a person who used to fry himself to a crisp in the Florida sun as a teen and is now heavily monitored for various skin cancers, I hope that everyone in this photo has insurance that covers regular dermatologist visits 🕶️

Like, tanning hides, or…?

Really not a fan of the casual joking about Epstein files during small talk convos.

It was only January that this city council voted unanimously to ask Gov. Walz to institute an eviction moratorium. So the politics has really changed. Half of them won't even vote to extend notice by 30 days.

Ramstad: Target CEO defends his insider expertise amid investor restlessness Some investors wanted an outsider to take charge of Target. New CEO Michael Fiddelke said he and other veterans deserved a chance to get the company growing again.

Business reporters usually have just one source -- company officials or analysts parroting company officials -- and NEVER talk the consumers for a more informed column. Instead, they belittle what is quite apparently an effective consumer backlash.
