One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

Fun fact, US passports did not have a gender marker until 1977, when a rising trend in unisex fashion started freaking the government out.

Frey’s little minions are claiming ALL data about the Homan meeting is protected by attorney-client privilege or work product.

THAT’S NOT HOW THAT WORKS

I wish more media would cover the Minnesota Occupation for the failure that it was. Not only did it cause enormous damage, but they couldn't even put together a top 10 dangerous dudes list. They got like 1 deportation per agent over a 3 month period. Colossal failure from a bunch of mall cop losers

I’m just a Minneapolitan, standing in front of a country, asking them to stop platforming our mayor for swearing on tv about ICE and then doing nothing substantive while antagonizing city council members that are

This sign is up in my south Minneapolis neighborhood right now. We regularly vote at among the highest rates in the country.

I cannot express how enormous the gulf is between the people on the ground and what we're hearing from national Democratic leadership.

"iS tHeRe a tEcHnoLoGY tHe leFt Is eXcItEd aBoUt" yeah, renewable energy, mRNA vaccines. Lots of cool stuff like that! Probably not the one whose main promise was cutting payrolls

Let's talk about the aircraft carriers of the animal world, the Common Loon (Gavia immer), native to Canada & the northern US.

The chicks are born precocial, meaning they can swim moments after hatching, but hitch a ride on a parent for two reasons...

This entire piece is spectacular, but this bit is a little grenade

“Is there a technology the left is excited about?”

High-speed rail! MRNA vaccines! New cancer treatments! Solar and wind energy collection! Better and longer-range EVs! That wood that's harder than steel! New apples! Fibermaxxing! Buldak Swicy ramen! Muppets! Muppets are too a technology, shut up!

“is there a technology that the left is excited about?”

Trains. We love trains, actually

The idea that someone who gets around with a $2000 piece of equipment is "elitist" while someone who uses a $30,000+ piece of equipment that costs hundreds of dollars per month to operate is "normal" is quite the brainwashing.

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Inflatable Chuds™ is here to help you drive like a maniac with invalid or no plates on your vehicle. Never pay a toll again. Drive as drunk as you want. Because there's no chance of being pulled over by police while transporting three blow up dolls in masks and tactical gear.

Every ICE officer who has broken the law should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.

Along these lines: if you live in Minneapolis, the Hennepin County Attorney we elect this fall is going to be the lawyer in charge of prosecuting ICE agents for the murders and atrocities they committed against us. That's why I'm supporting Cedrick Frazier.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Seriously. We don't trust or believe you.

It’s not a withdrawal until ICE is abolished.

I have neighbors everywhere.

Listen we’re not doing the thing you’ve seen us on a million hours of cellphone video doing okay

Ironic, since Frey shouted “fuck” and got a bunch of national media interviews, but has done fuck-all since.

My friend was a witness to this. Things are not "winding down" here.

I hear from people who are surprised I'm still talking about ICE, they thought they'd withdrawn from MN.

No, they have not. In some respects they've escalated.

Some asked why MN is a target. Are there are there a lot more illegals or criminals here?

No, it's not about that. It's about a grudge.

FDA declines to review Moderna's mRNA flu shot Under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Food and Drug Administration has taken an aggressive stance against mRNA technology.

I genuinely cannot believe the degree to which we are pissing away this generational breakthrough, even given the fuckmuppets who are involved www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

I arrived too late to an abduction yesterday. Ice vehicles boxed in a food delivery driver on the highway. They took him, and when I came on the scene (with a few other neighbors in cars), his keys were still in it. We found his phone, a debit card, his car title and registration.
