For anyone outside of Minnesota who has been wondering why progressives & leftists absolutely despise Jacob Frey, here is a very clear cut example.

A salad plate containing an egg over medium on a bed of leftover buttered leek dressing with extra leeks, rewarmed in the oven. 

Here's a gift link to the recipe

The internet was better when we posted pictures of our breakfast.

Here's mine.

IJWTS I've been reading your posts about adoption with interest and I've learned a lot from you about the issue. Thank you.

I think so. There's a red box under her photo that says "Democrat" but no other indication. I gotta say, that's not going to work. We're gonna elect Ilhan again, and we should. Ilhan has done a good job, and I'm certainly voting for her, not Ms. Le.

Our best estimate suggests there are still 600+ ICE agents in MN. Again, for context, Chicago had 500 surge agents at the peak. We had > 3000.

In recent days, ICE has also taken delivery of 100+ new vehicles all lined in perfect rows at their facility near the airport.

Sure hope Ds have candidates contesting every race, in every jurisdiction.

Because if we're getting a D+17 swing versus 2026, it's entirely possible you'd get upsets in a lot of normally out-of-reach places

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

1/ Here's what I can share:

Rabbits mural right up the block- painted in 2023 for Metro Transit. 
More murals- Let's goooooo!

I think the USPS at 2811 University Ave SE should have me paint a mural here. I painted one up the block for Metro Transit, and they could be matchymatchy.
Who is in charge of such decisions?

This has always been the point of ai being absolutely crammed down our throats. It allows CEOs, policy makers, military officials and people at the top to deflect blame for anything decision they make.

Yes! John Brown and Jayhawks stole from slave owners.

If you thought it was OK to steal Black people from Africa and keep them as slaves? Then they thought it was OK to steal them from you and set them free, and to steal all your other stuff and keep it.

If you didn't like it? They took you out.

This is your reminder that after you make $184,500, you stop paying into Social Security.

Millionaires hit that cap today.

We are constantly told there's "not enough" money for Social Security.

But we let America's richest people stop paying into it in March.

Scrap the cap.

everything he’s doing is war crimes. Trump is the disease and the only way to get rid of it completely is to remove everyone else who has been infected. zero tolerance. and HURRY THE FUCK UP PEOPLE BEFORE HE CLAIMS HE IS UNFIT FOR TRIAL AND SHIT

i actually think "books should be difficult and somewhat painful to read and you are Bettering Yourself through Struggle" is a worse attitude for mass literacy than "I have specific preferences and like reading a lot of fun stories" tbh

How about 1963? Right in between Boomer and X, belonging to neither, and confused about the entire generational thing.

Why does he keep on answering questions after his lawyer says "objection"? Is that normal? Is that how depositions are supposed to work? Does her saying "objection" mean that they might be able to remove the answer later?

Ruben Ray Martinez: Footage shows US citizen shot by ICE agent in Texas traffic stop The Department of Homeland Security did not disclose Martinez was shot by one of its agents until almost a year later.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.

"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

I would be more concerned, but to be a top Trump official, you have to be both gullible and corrupt, and so being scammed into a bunker seems extremely on-brand. I know they know things I don't know, but I doubt they understand the things they know.3

I will add that the whole "Darkest Africa" thing was absolutely racist bullshit, but I was four and I really didn't understand that at all.
