Tater tots count as a full, balanced meal, right?

it’s weird, to run this website and have a very distinct marker for how much people care about what’s happening in Minnesota

it feels especially not great to look at as eviction notices start to get served for families are still locked down hiding from ICE, who are still roving the streets

Can't reply to you (?!), but here's his booking from Ramsey County

Global aid cuts could lead to 9.4 million deaths by 2030, study projects The Lancet study examines how the dismantling of international aid by the U.S. and other countries could undo decades of health gains.

A new study puts a number on the potential human toll of sharp aid cuts over the past year, projecting an extra 9.4 million deaths by 2030 if the current trends persist.

Please consider donating Delta Skymiles through Stand With Minnesota. People taken from Minnesota are being dumped in El Paso with no way home.

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

"I don't need to tell you how serious the increasingly likely possibility that Russian intelligence services co-organised this operation is for the security of the Polish state. This can only mean that they also possess compromising materials against many leaders still active today."

According to this article from last week, they were down to 17 attorneys.
So now just 9? In an office that usually has at least 50.

Fed judges are getting PISSED. The levels of overt anger we are seeing in opinions is not, I think, at all usual.

Would it surprise you to know that 15 states have Democratic governing trifectas?

Dude, I guarantee you these 2 people know more than you on this subject.

In life there are things that are dildos and things that are dildonts

This is clearly a dildont.

Let’s say exhibitors eat about $45M through the end of the run. MGM looks to eat about $65M, for a total loss of $110M.

That means the Bezos bribe to Trump of $26M also cost others in the industry another $84M

Of course, for the theaters most of their money is made in the concessions. Google says add another $15-16 per ticket in concession sales.

Assuming 50% occupancy as target weekend rate, exhibitors probably lost $37M in revenue due to underperformance of Melania this weekend.

Just in case you ever needed some math for a movie opening on 1,778 screens with a $7M box office

US movie theaters average 150 seats, present 4 screenings per day, and charge $16.08 per ticket.

So a movie showing on 1,778 screens over 3 days has a box office potential of $51.4M.

A movie making just $7M implies 13.6% of seats were sold.

That’s Wednesday level occupancy, not opening weekend.

There was no one left to speak for me

Liam has been on my mind constantly the past 2 weeks. This picture was seared into my brain; it is evidence of the total lack of humanity within this administration.
Many thanks to @danilawaart.bsky.social for allowing me to recreate this beautiful work as crop art.

Donate Your Skymiles — Stand With Minnesota Donate your Delta Skymiles to get people home from Texas

Okay! This has already inspired a bunch of DMs, so I made a page on the website. If you have 50,000+ Skymiles and would be willing to book flights to get someone home, please fill this out.

a woman reached out to donate 500,000 delta skymiles to get people home to MN as they are released from custody in TX.

we're getting flights booked today. it should be enough to get at least 15 people home.

delta should be doing for free since they take ICE money.

We have one political party in America so pissed about losing the Civil War that they’re now relitigating the Revolutionary War and have taken the side of the Monarchists

Hitting him with a bless his heart 😂

This thread is better than anything on TV tonight.

A pipe burst in one of the Cedar Riverside towers displacing families.

This Go Fund Me helps get them immediate support.

I went to the benefit for Renee Good and Alex Pretti at First Avenue yesterday.

Having Bruce’s live debut of Streets of Minneapolis with us in Minneapolis meant a lot.

So did shout-singing Killing in the Name with Tom Morello and 1,500 of my newest best friends.

I find it sad that the courts are asking Minnesota to prove just *how much* of a jackboot on your neck is too much or too heavy while we slowly suffocate under the weight of that boot.

As part of truth and reconciliation after all of this, Panatir needs to dismantled and their databases and algorithms need to be destroyed.

How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

Trump’s secret police considers you a political enemy if you criticize Trump or DHS/CBP/HSI/ERO/ICE and is building dossiers of you.

History has shown, and current events are reinforcing it, these lists always turn into mass incarceration of citizens.
