X Is Drowning in Disinformation Following US and Israel’s Attack on Iran WIRED has reviewed hundreds of posts on X that promote misleading claims about the locations and scale of the attack.

“Almost all of the most viral posts reviewed by WIRED on Saturday came from accounts with blue check marks, meaning they…could be eligible to earn money based on how much engagement their posts generate, even if the content is false.”

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.

They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

Look what government is capable of

“UAW Local 42 members celebrate after ratifying their first-ever contract with Volkswagen in Chattanooga, TN.” 👇🏻

Hearing this from a member of Congress is like asking a plumber "What's this pipe for?" and having him respond "That's a great question. I don't know the answer. It's like, a metal tube thingy in your wall? Not sure what's in there. Maybe grape juice? Or hamsters? I guess we'll never know."

You like Carl Sagan because he was a beacon of hope. I like Carl Sagan because he wanted to nuke the moon. We are not the same

ICE is still in my Minneapolis neighborhood today.

i appreciate this but i think we have conclusively demonstrated that it can continue to not be over until at least ~150 years after MN flag acquisition

That halftime show is what people mean when they say "joy is an act of resistance."

Simply on a live performance stagecraft-design-camerawork-logistics-direction level, this is ASTOUNDING.

In addition to @racketmn.com being a wonderful source of Twin Cities news (support them with a subscription), they’re also all good people. Help them help others!

You told me about something you learned in school. A professor said that one of the things that helped people accept their work as concentration camp guards was that the terrible conditions of the camps themselves made the prisoners’ literal filth synonymous with their inherent filthiness. If they weren’t dirty then they wouldn’t be this dirty. It applies to modern prison guards and the ICE kidnappers as well. Look at this worm living in the wormhole. Writhing in its own muck. Doing it to offend my sense of decency come to think of it. A personal insult to me. Will no one rid me of these insects? Let me ask you something. Take a quick inventory of your life. Like mine it’s currently a mostly comfortable and safe one right? But be honest with yourself. Do you feel closer to the chasm of poverty with perhaps a devastating medical bill or an eviction or a ruinous encounter with the police or a worsening struggle with addiction or closer to the attainment of wealth and power? Which end of the see-saw are you actually sitting on?

New data shows Minneapolis economy reeling since ICE's Operation Metro Surge began The director of community planning and economic development estimates the city is losing $10 to $20 million every week.

Operation Metro Surge is hurting small business and doing long-term damage to Minnesota’s economy.

It’s time for this campaign of retribution to end.

The year is 2026. The entire economy is scams. But some scammers are scamming for justice.

Nothing has changed in Minnesota. We continue.

They’re taking kids from Minnesota and sending them to detention camps. They’re shooting American citizens in the street and locking investigators out of the crime scenes. The world is watching what happens next.

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

it's like SUPER cold for North Carolina today but I went to the farmer's market and on the way back I saw people 10+ years my senior, which is saying something, holding up NO ICE protest signs and I said hey fantastic job it's cold and they said "not as cold as in Minneapolis" blessed people

Fuck yes, Tom Morello.
