So nonpartisan that team Frey and the state DFL poured everything into making sure Fateh didn't get the party endorsement. Don't rank Frey.

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.

I hope it's ok to point out the obvious white fear essence that permeates the Frey campaign. Yes, folks. It's racism.

Ramsay is correct. MLS continues to have referee problems.

Man deported to Laos despite US court order blocking his removal, attorneys say District judge told Ice to keep Alabama man in US while he showed what judge called ‘substantial claim’ to citizenship

“Immigration officials have deported a father living in Alabama to Laos despite a federal court order blocking his removal from the US on the grounds he has a claim to citizenship, the man’s attorneys said on Tuesday.”

YouTube video by Nick Valencia News 67-year old American citizen left with broken ribs by ICE #breakingnews #iceraids #savedemocracy

This incident is spreading through Chicago running circles. A 67 year old man, driving back from a long run with his friends, is pulled from the car and thrown to the ground by ICE (or BP?) agents because he did... something.

Summary

I can’t possibly believe this works in Ward 8. I “got here” 46 years ago and reject this fuckery. Soren isn’t like Shelly Madore who was literally recruited by landlords to phony-move into Ward 2 a few months ago.

“The boat strikes constitute murder,” Eugene R. Fidell told me. He used to be a JAG in the Coast Guard and is now at Yale Law School. The entire operation amounts to “treating the world as a free-fire zone,” he said.

Objectively, he is inconsistent and clearly frustrates players with his lack of respect for the professional game.

Any idea who our fifth shooter would have been?

I continue to sincerely want the term “Kavanaugh Stop” to be a badge of shame for the rest of Brett Kavanaugh’s days; the only bit of writing he’s known or remembered for; his sole contribution to the Law; for him to perceive, in little stabs of self-awareness, that this will be his rancid legacy.

Mark Thompson’s D.C. Drop-In CNN’s chief has Washington talking about his private meeting at the White House—following which he urged the network to ease up on coverage of Trump’s East Room demolition, Status has learned.

CNN chief Mark Thompson met privately with the White House last week. The next morning, he urged the network to ease up on its coverage of Trump's East Room demolition. The scoop from @nataliekorach.bsky.social in @status.news www.status.news/p/mark-thomp...

In fairness, the Supreme Court’s Republican appointees regularly “hallucinate” bogus facts without using AI. The praying coach ruling shows that Gorsuch doesn’t need a sloppy robot to make shit up that’s directly refuted by the record!

This is the third death that I'm aware of this year where a person died trying to flee from ICE.

Target workers face long weekend as layoffs loom on Tuesday The announcement has sparked an online debate about whether the lag is fair to employees. Experts weigh in on what is the best practice.

How to Ensure Your Entire Workforce Is Seething, Stressed, and Scared: Target Demonstrates for the B-School Textbooks (as always, no paywall on the Strib article)

I have never understood it, but it makes for good conversation on walks in the neighborhood.

Fetterman has nothing to say when Mike Johnson & House leadership calls millions of Democrats protesting at No Kings communists, Hamas supporters & antifa who hate America, but if you suggest Trump might be ruling like an autocrat he is quick to run back on Fox to condemn it.

YouTube video by Reagan Library President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

*1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.”

critics of the mayor are not "haters." this strib framing minimizes issues and concerns people have about him, and using slang terms like "haters" is frey-friendly language because this is what his supporters say in response to people bringing up valid issues

"you're just a hater"

Changed “haters” to “critics”, but embarrassingly Tiger Beat compared to one Strib just did on Fateh. Amir Locke‘s killing? Omit “language got casual.” Anything about cutting the Council out (budget stuff, for example) or contracting fiascos? Nope. But lots of cute family stuff. Thumb on scale.

Precisely. Racism is the gateway to Trump’s power grab.

Grotesquely transparent racist.

Takeaways from the @startribune.com CEO Steve Grove interview at the Westminster Town Hall Forum tonight.

The New York Times Argues “Moving to the Center Is the Way to Win.” But the Data Shows the Strategy Is Tapped Out. Democrats already run moderates in nearly every swing district. It's not enough. A data-driven response to the case for centrism as a core electoral strategy.

My response to the NYT’s “moderate to win” argument: The data shows the strategy is tapped out. Being seen as moderate by voters doesn’t boost votes, replacing every progressive with moderates would net 0 seats, and the graveyard of defeated D incumbents if full of moderates, not progressives.

As Minneapolis Votes, Some Struggle to Keep Police Violence in the Spotlight Five years after George Floyd, the mayor and his allies on city council claim credit for vast improvements, but critics keep pressing the case for more discipline and police alternatives.

Soren Stevenson lost his left eye and most of his sense of smell, but the officer who shot him didn't face discipline. Stevenson is now running for local office and says the changes made since 2020 haven’t stopped police violence in Minneapolis.

That's like saying that every NFL team should have a better field goal kicker. And field goal points aren't football. I believe that too. Probably applies to free throw shooting in the NBA too.

A man shot in his Minneapolis yard in October 2024. The video shocked those who saw it but wasn't a surprise to many who live in the neighborhood. Police waited five days to arrest the man next door… What a Minneapolis man is saying nearly a year after allegedly being shot by neighbor

How do you do a "one year later" story and not mention the fact that Chief O'Hara blamed Davis Moturi for getting shot, after months of MPD failing to answer Moturi's (and his council member's) pleas for help?
