What’s cool about Mamdani’s first few months are that they’re showing that handling crises and carrying out agendas is totally possible but that neoliberals got so lazy in holding power that they just let shit slip.

Never felt like a Sim more than when I weave my way through a maze of empty stanchions to get to TSA.

MAJOR: Twin Cities Tenants joins five labor unions, together repping 25,900 members, to launch a rent strike drive, vowing to withhold rent March 1 if @governorwalz.mn.gov fails to deliver an eviction moratorium and rent relief. If launched, this would be the largest US rent strike in 100+ years.

So many incredibly talented and creative folks out there with innovative ideas struggling to scrape together 10k for a short where everyone gets paid an OK rate and this guy can't even muster up an IDEA with $30k for his slop machine.

Liberals say that concentration camps filled with children have no place in a democracy. They're wrongβ€”concentration camps filled with children have no place in a republic.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧡

I tuned in for 30 seconds to hear how hard it is to be a conservative in the US right now. Almost died laughing.

It's a lot harder to edit out moving fruit than it is audio-only boos, which we already know broadcasters will do because they are weak.

Our local theater had it, but I had already missed it. The show time was listed at about 3 hours though, so I wonder if a shorter version is also being shopped around?

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

I’m convinced this is why they killed covid aid so quickly

It was breaking the narrative of government inability
