Just a reminder that laws are words on paper, not forces of nature.

If they're unjust, if they're wrong, we can change them.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

hi, political philosopher here! this is not funny, central banks only do this when they're in extreme distress

In Minneapolis, a network of big $ political committees—All of Mpls, We Love Mpls, and Thrive Mpls—share donors, staff, and messaging.

In July, We Love Mpls was cited by the Campaign Finance Board (CFB) for violating disclosure rules.

Here's why all of them could be in violation of MN laws. 👇

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song.

But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.

Federal agents hurled tear gas at people on a busy Logan Square street, outside a grocery store and near an elementary school.

Reckless, undertrained ICE hires are a danger to everyone. This is terrorism against US citizens.

The obscene face of Christian Nationalism: outlandish untaxed wealth in defiance of Jesus. Oh, and this time, slave laborers, too! Glory!

Just remember, for any money you give to Heaven, there is always a 100% handling fee here on Earth.

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her.

Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

MN has some of the highest teacher standards, which means paying for lots of school, training, and licensing. 🫠

Oohhhhh. 😂 noted

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

Ooh! Right on the square! Fun!

Which brewery?!

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

😭😂😭😂😭😂😭 WTF

We can set an example for the whole nation in this election.

Israeli Strike Kills 5 Al Jazeera Journalists, Network Says Anas al-Sharif, a well-known correspondent, was among those killed. Israel said it had targeted Mr. al-Sharif, claiming he worked for Hamas, which he had denied.

An Israeli strike near a hospital in Gaza City on Sunday night killed five Al Jazeera journalists. The Israeli military said it had targeted one of the men killed, Anas al-Sharif, accusing him of being a Hamas fighter posing as a reporter. He and Al Jazeera had denied the allegation.

Join roller derby!

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

#ThisWeekend in 1973: 4 years after Stonewall, the first organized gay pride events in the Twin Cities begin with a march down Nicollet Mall. In a sign of the times, the small advertising fliers are designed so that holders can quickly fold and discard them in the event of a police raid.
