Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

First Frost, Longfellow Park, Minneapolis.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Miser wat! Where is this? My spouse is route to NYC and would love this.

Mpls did it, got shut down by Supreme Court of Minnesota. So, the Legislature passed a new law and they went online this week, but only 5 so far and only warning and tiny fine for 2nd. Is a points system no-longer something that could be used in conjunction with cameras?

I know this is said a lot but if you hate immigration, you can only eat the foods of your people prior to 1492. So for people of European descent that means not just no indigenous foods (no potatoes, no tomatoes, no corn), no Mexican food and no soul food either - there's no slavery exception clause

Every major city in Texas has a higher murder rate than Chicago

I bet it has to do with aquifers.

Makes me think of Soylent Green.

Cooked thick steel-cut oats or pearled barley.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

I also lived in the south for 10 yrs. I think the “takeover” has been happening for decades which is why Nobles cty is 70-80% MAGA and why there will not likely be meaningful pushback outstate. My So Minn highschool mascot is a “rebel” and they won’t change it.

There’s a much racism here.

I don't drink, but I thought the beer was apropos of the times. Sounds like they are just another major label now.

This is a direct transfer of wealth from consumers, who are paying ludicrous tariffs on necessary goods, to soybean farmers

But, "they don't want it." But, "this is the only way to reset the market and break this cycle of China taking advantage of us." But, "it's gonna be tough for some." And, "We lost our farm, but we support T*#mp."

Very sad news, John Gurdon has died.

I was at an all-day symposium at the Univ Minn yesterday and one of the invited speakers from Seattle wore a buffalo plaid flannel shirt.

What a bunch of assholes.

Shout out to the American Presidents who didn't... (checks notes)... hate Americans.

Mini cooper is parked on a sidewalk with the engine running

I’m thoroughly annoyed that this auto shop is for some reason allowed to park cars on the sidewalk, but especially when they leave the engine running while the car blocks most of the sidewalk (as was the case here).

The anti-wind folks around Albert Lea are applauding this while decrying the repeated pulling out of Mayo from their city and the escalating energy costs. They feed themselves with the left hand and punch themselves in the face with the right.

You should really be more grateful for all of the opportunities that CBS has afforded you in this great nation. Thank you for your attention to this bootlicking.🤣

A bottle of Leine's Berry Weiss

no notes

A berry weiss beer from Leinenkugels.

CBS with its failing 6% market share appoints a joke editor. Folks will have no option but to drink berry weiss to get relief.

This zinger is 12 years old already! archive.nytimes.com/economix.blo...

This reminds me of Carol and All of Mpls.
