This is making me think of the term “H-E-double-hockey-sticks” and realize it would be a good name for a hockey podcast hosted by two edgy Christian youth pastors.

This is complete bullshit, and it's a criminal administration's transparent effort to cover up a crime.

Police Ask For Public’s Help In Falsifying Report

A major newspaper publishing guide to help people identify the munitions their government is using against them is a real "Late Republic America" timepeice that future historians will comment on.

One thing I think it notable here is that Weiss talks about being for "the center." She's doing that thing that Elon Musk does where he goes, "Actually, my views are moderate. I don't get why people say I'm far-right." It's an effort to shift public perception of what "center" or "moderate" means.

This is all very, very, very intentional.

Minnesotans getting ready for Tom Homan

...man during a robbery stakeout. Bureau attempted to withhold agent's identity and when that was thwarted we learned it was his second disaster: On a previous raid he shot and killed a suspect who was unarmed and hiding in a closet. Through the closed door. After which, the FBI quietly...

That said, police agencies at times tried to implement policies to shield officers from public accountability until they were challenged in court. The FBI set the worst example in this regard, an affront that showed itself when a Baltimore-based agent delivered an awful shooting of an innocent...

....transferred this goof to another field office, much like the Catholic Church hiding a pedophile priest in a new parish. This is the point: Without a name there is no way to know if it is the first shooting or tenth -- and the details of such. Basic public info. Not doxxing. Has to be public

As a reporter, I carried the home phone number of Maryland's chief district judge in my wallet. The Hon. Dennis Sweeney would, on an ask, explain to recalcitrant desk sergeants and shift lieutenants that he would hold them in contempt if they denied the public the face sheet of any shooting report.

Two cities under siege Remarkably similar scenes from Boston and Minneapolis, 260 years apart, show a federal government betraying its founding principles.

ICYMI: I looked through a published archive of Boston newspapers from the 1760s, when British troops were stationed in the city.

The accounts read remarkably similar to what's happening in Minneapolis.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

It’s now illegal for a movie to show someone waking up alone in bed after the other person has slipped out effortlessly. All movies MUST show the leaving person awkwardly moving around in the dark for 10 minutes, bumping into things, dropping keys, whispering “fuck” when the door latches too loud

The march to fascism may pause or slow down briefly, but it doesn't end until Trump and his minions are totally and completely gone. He must be impeached and removed.

"The DFLer in 47A is unopposed, can't I skip?"/ "64A is a super blue district, do I really need to worry about this one?"

GO VOTE OUT OF SPITE.

GO VOTE TO SHOW THAT OUR STATE VOTES NO MATTER WHAT.

Why the Minnesota Resistance Matters

This week has shown us the worst of America. The Minnesota protesters are the best of it.

Imagine being a congressman from Minnesota and caring so little about what’s happening here that you just copy and paste talking points.

If you’re not writing your own statements and you’re not holding town halls, what exactly are we paying you for?

Important thread with examples showing that this country has been teetering on the brink of fascism for a long time. Notice the percent of American adults that thought Nixon had been treated unfairly even after he resigned in disgrace: 30%. It's about the same percentage as the die-hard Trump cult.

Finished up school patrol this morning and a Somali mother got out of her car to give us the biggest, longest hugs. She said she doesn't know Somalia, her kids don't speak Somali and showed us that she's carrying her passport with her everywhere. I lost count the number of times she thanked us. 🥹

How typical is it (if you know) for Mayor Frey to not sign resolutions and just have them self-execute?
