Like Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
*unless in Minnesota
call me a bleeding heart but i do not think the state should have the power to invalidate trans people’s identities and effectively imprison them. if you can’t legally drive in KANSAS how the hell are you meant to get anywhere
The revanchists in the Iowa legislature are gleefully destroying education, which used to be Iowa's crown jewel. From k-12 through higher ed, one of the country's best educational systems is being gutted by small, scared white men, who don't even comprehend this is no more than a murder-suicide (1/)
They literally dragged a minor employee out of a Target as he was wailing that he was a US citizen, roughed him up in their car, and then dropped him off bloodied and bruised in the freezing cold a couple of miles away, so miss us with this.
Keith Schiller, Director of Oval Office Operations during Trump's 1st term. Before that, Trump's bodyguard and the guy who chauffeured Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal to the trysting place.
It's legit weird that, in order to believe he isn't lying, you have to conclude that he is mentally ill. But because they can't prove that he's mentally ill, and they can't prove he's lying, he exists a Schrodinger's Cat state of superposition - a third thing that is neither mentally ill not lying.
It's the name that people of this ethnic group call themselves in their own language. Do you need to know more, and if so, could you please look it up for yourself?
Screenshot of text from the article: “In a sad commentary on the current situation, some of those I spoke to remarked on the fact that Thao was thankfully dropped back home, as opposed to somewhere random like ICE did with a teenage Target worker in Minneapolis last week.”
The incident with the kid at Target was only last week!?!? 🤯
What the fuck is time anymore? Every day of this occupation feels like a month of hell.
“Ms. Goodwin was one of several legal scholars &criminal justice experts who said the conduct of ICE agents during Operation Metro Surge, the government’s name for its immigration crackdown in Minneapolis, evoked the attacks by police officers in Birmingham, Ala., on civil rights protesters in 1963”
Being prepared to go to war with your closest allies because you were not awarded the Nobel Peace Prize does seem like the clearest possible vindication of the decision that you didn’t deserve it.
if you know anything about the Hmong and how they came to America, this becomes (somehow) even worse
I don’t think we have enough time in our lives to list all the things Trump fails to grasp.
Minneapolis.
"We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric and get back to talking about how terrible migrants are!" -Homan, in his head, probably.
Some serious abuser language, right there.
“Why do you make me hit you?”
Fraud is a serious crime that merits laying siege to an entire city and collectively punishing every immigrant from Somalia.
It's also a crime for which you can be pardoned and relieved of compensating your victims, so long as some of the money you stole finds its way to the president.
They all started out as fourth grade bullies who just wanted to hurt someone. They got older, but they never grew up. And I can’t help but wonder who hurt them when they were little. All their suppressed anger is coming out and hurting our neighbors.
It seems our brains have phonetic and/or orthographic filing systems. You were looking for the name in the "three syllables, starts with G, ends with a vowel" section.
I once couldn't remember the word "alcove". I knew what it meant, but all I could think of was "anchovy" or "enclave".
I can float in it.
Minnesotan ice.
Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.
Cosplay-triot is genius
Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning.
I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.
this is Minnesotan for "I am mad enough to bite through rebar"
Today on Volts: Swedish tech entrepreneur Jonas Birgersson was once known in his country as "broadband Jesus" for his efforts in spreading decentralized, low-cost broadband access. Now, he wants to bring the same decentralized, peer-to-peer revolution to the electricity grid.
This is a good question. Let's talk about it!
Why do civil servants resign in protest? Couldn't they have done more good on the inside? 🧵
In her interview today, Kristi Noem says she has dramatically surged DHS forces in Minnesota to deal with an "outbreak of sexual misconduct involving sexual predators." Which is curious, because the ICE forces deployed include Timothy Ryan Gregg, 51, a known sexual predator.
