Stand With Minnesota Donation Directory Stand With Minnesota is a hub for supporting, learning, and taking action to support Minnesotans impacted by ICE and federal enforcement.

If folks don't know what to do with their rage today, and they have cash, I suggest going to standwithminnesota.com and finding someone who needs help

AOC: They need 10 Democratic votes in the Senate to pass, continued unfettered ICE funding with no guardrails. Regardless of where you are in the Democratic party, this moment proves that the status quo cannot stand

I would implore my Democratic colleagues in the senate to vote no

I guess it’ll be a different 32-year-old 2B/utility guy at 1B? I have no idea what the hell is going on over there at this point

If Uncle Steve’s end game was the casino, this offseason makes a lot of sense.

Now that summer travel has wound down, I’ve been able to get to pics from the always great #UptownSwingout and its gorgeous new venue. Full set on Flickr: flickr.com/photos/49503...

FCC Chair Carr’s post from 12/30/23:

Free speech is the counterweightβ€”it is the check on government control. That is why censorship is the authoritarian’s dream.

Central Park Conservancy backs NYC horse carriage ban, citing safety and damage The park’s stewards say carriages are a public safety risk and harm infrastructure, and are urging the City Council to pass Ryder’s Law.

It wasn't widely reported (h/t @craigcalcaterra.bsky.social as per) but the MLB Commissioner was asked about killing MLB's Diversity Pipeline programs and he more or less said he did it to avoid making Trump mad and that he feels it was the right call.

Abject cowardice on at least two levels.

We could have had universal healthcare, free college, and housing for all, but instead, they're using MY tax dollars on a fucking concentration camp.

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.

One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.

They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

Last night @thefamilycrest.bsky.social blew the doors off the Mercury Lounge, as they do. What a treat it was to see and shoot one of my favorite bands! Enjoy a few of these shots and and catch them on tour! (More photos on IG)

The rain never let up through the entire show but Lord Huron’s Strange Trails 10th Anniversary at Red Rocks did not disappoint. I’m really glad I said β€œto hell with it” and booked this bucket list trip - it was the perfect pairing to see both LH and RE for the first time.
