A staggering number of social and political problems arise in part because journalists gained elite prestige at the same time, more proletarian, local journalism collapsed. Now it's just largely the same class of interchangeable people from the same handful of universities jacking each other off.

Fun fact, I was at Mizzou when he was doing his post-doc there, and he was an absolute total fucking creep to women

I get a bit annoyed at “Sportsball!” stuff. But the people posting before the game like like “I don’t even know what teams are playing at Bad Bunny’s concert” incredibly vindicated lol

all this stuff ppl say about minnesotans now, they were saying about the civil rights movement then. everyone has whitewashed the history now but ppl like stancil would have been sneering at all the ppl getting blasted w fire hoses if he were a pundit at that time

every time liberals complain about protesters blocking traffic i think about the story my american history professor told about his childhood in which his own mother complained about the civil rights movement bc she didn't like how it was impacting traffic

The Feds ask local law enforcement to clear the way and your neighborhood cop jumps at the opportunity to use all their tactical gear. This happens in every jurisdiction. At least they got a photo op giving away coffee and donuts last week or whatever

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

A Day for Gaza Today, The Nation is turning over its website exclusively to stories from Gaza and its people. This is why.

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza.

We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

I am introducing the Cut It Out And This Time I Really Mean It bill. It provides an additional $57 billion to the murder goons but they will agree to wear business casual Monday through Thursday and if they do any murders they have to put a dollar in this jar.

Twin cities resident here.  Why is the NY Times using their resources to interview and write this article where rural people are bashing the Twin Cities.  We are under invasion by ice agents.  There was another shooting last night.  People are getting dragged out of their houses.  US citizens are being detained.  They are pulling people over indiscriminately just because they look a certain way.   There is so much bad stuff happening and the news is not even capturing the full extent.  Please spend more resources covering this.  Not interviewing people who do not understand what is happening.  What is happening here is terrifying and needs to be the front page of every newspaper.  National news does not seem to be getting it.   All NY Times resources in Mn need to be spent on documenting the brutal behavior of the Feds.  People need to understand what could be coming to them.

Here in the Twin Cities I feel like we have been completely abandoned by government.  Local governments are unable to stop the brutalisation of their residents.   It is traumatic and it is institutional betrayal.

42% for abolish ICE without an iota of mainstream elected Democratic buy in, this could be over 60% if they tried even a little.

You just don't realize that because of a language and (until recently) distribution barrier
