I love how the Dems are always supposed to "big tent" every truly odious position because it's the only party that has any level of diversity or ability to compromise.
We’re going to cycle between technocratic Dems and the reincarnation of hitler for 20 years until something breaks.
Yes, this is an excellent piece of investigation, narration, and accountability, by Mike Baker and Steven Rich in @nytimes.com Very much worth going back to read.
Not to get all Althusserian out here but basically the manufacture of new junctures for interpellation by an authoritarian state (SAVE Act, Kavanaugh stops, trans license revocations etc) gives it more scope to squeeze the boundaries of the polity and strip undesirables of civic protections

March 11, 2026 Minneapolis City Council 350 South 5th Street Room 370 Minneapolis, MN 55415 Dear Council President Payne, Council Vice President Osman and Council Members: This letter is to inform you that I have vetoed Ordinance No. 2026-002 to extend the pre-eviction notice for renters to 60 days. I understand the authors’ intent, but the experience from COVID-19 and guidance from shelter and affordable housing providers shows that this strategy has not worked. We have heard over and over again from shelter and affordable housing providers that longer timelines produce worse outcomes for residents. In their words, when rental assistance isn’t available, time is a debt trap that becomes a barrier to securing future housing. I heard a call for more financial assistance, and I believe that is the best path forward. Rental assistance is working and getting to renters quickly – rent collections are better in 2026 than 2025. That’s why I’m proposing to spend $1 million from the Affordable Housing Trust Fund for emergency rental assistance administered through Hennepin County. While a 60-day pre-eviction notice period sounds good, there is no data to show that it does good. Pandemic era eviction moratorium allowed many renters to accumulate huge amounts of debt that they are still paying off today. When property owners carry the losses, the housing system experiences upward pressure on rents to replenish reserves, catch up on missed mortgage, insurance, utility, payroll, and property tax payments, and cover increased costs associated with deferred maintenance. I believe most landlords are working with tenants to develop payment plans and access rental assistance. But for bad actors, I worry that the proposal gives them reasons to report tenants to ICE or use minor lease violationswhich don’t require as much notice and are harder to expunge – to evict tenants. We will continue to monitor the data. If something substantially changes, I am committed to working with the City…

Jennifer Jacobs: Multiple US and state law enforcement and intel officials told @CBSNews there is no credible intelligence underpinning the bulletin distributed on the unverified possibility that Iran could retaliate for American attacks by launching drones at the West Coast. "This is not actionable," a California-based federal law enforcement official told CBS. "All this means is we got this information and we want to get it out to law enforcement executives to make sure they're up to speed on it," another California law enforcement official said. "There is absolutely nothing more to it." The bulletin to local law enforcement by the FBl's Los Angeles division stemmed from an apparent tip that surfaced **prior** to the Iranian conflict. via @NicoleSganga Joanne_Lopez_Dowe @dow_lopez•1h My pregnant daughter works at a California police station.

“On Tuesday, [a 14-year-old] girl from #Marlborough with no criminal history was detained by immigration agents, [U.S. Rep. Lori Trahan] said. The girl was apparently used to ’coerce’ her father into turning himself in during an ’overnight attempt,’ according to Trahan.”

Yeah, and it jumps from 1995 to 1997.
Every journalist & editor who spent the summer of 2024 flogging stories about Joe Biden’s cognitive decline should be shunned & never allowed to show their faces in polite society ever again

Trump has somehow found himself in the role of peacemaker. We're in good hands.
This is a place that's elected Susan Collins repeatedly so I dunno that we need to cut them terribly much slack.
This is the “fool me once” moment.
Equities traders might be playing Wile E Coyote running on air, but corporates aren’t going to be caught off guard like they were during COVID.
Yes, and also: there's no money in actually reporting and breaking stories, but there's TONS of money in telling rich old white men that they are better and smarter than their nieces attending a liberal arts school who keep raising uncomfortable questions at brunch
Pie chart showing that nearly 2 million people are incarcerated in the U.S.
🚨NEW: Last year, the number of people incarcerated in the U.S. increased again. The driving factor? President Trump’s deportation agenda.
Our annual report, The Whole Pie, gives the big picture of mass incarceration. Here are some key takeaways 🧵
Apart from the moral repugnance, this is so revealing of how ignorant conservatives are about poverty. Poor people have to think about money ALL THE TIME. They worry constantly about what everything costs, how to substitute one purchase for another, what bill can be put off until payday, etc.

My breaking story:
It was inevitable that, once US tech companies started publicly rooting for their technology to be used for war, those tech companies would be considered targets. If you're a tech worker at these companies, you're at war now. What will tech leaders think as they become targets too?
