huge swath of americans: I really wish I could have a house
some not insignificant swath of americans: I impulse bought my 4th house and I am going to use it for election fraud but will only get a slap on the wrist if caught.
Honestly mayor frey is a piece of chicken shit, a pile of congealed urea and feces dropped carelessly amongst the scratchings for food.
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…

My little mutual aid team has fundraised over $250,000 in rent support over the last 3 months JUST for families at our neighborhood school.
$1 million for the whole city does NOT come close to meeting the scale and depth of need in our city.
Fuck Frey. This is unacceptable & will cause harm.
Anyone who uses the laws of the state as the metric for right/wrong, good/bad is a simpleton and a danger to us all.
What the fuck is the point is not that?
But that is the part that is actually learning and being creative. When I see people say that AI will replace a lot of the little work of doing things, like taking notes, that is the part that actually builds intellect. It's analysis, abstraction, comparison, memorization, and hopefully synthesis.
It is a lot of time and work and it can be exhausting. I have to recall things. Connects things. Synthesize things. Overall it allows me to process things. It also allows me to better recall and connect outside sources.
I'm in the middle of reading a book. I am going through and marking it with book darts. Then I am going back later and removing them as I am making notes. I am also making parallel commentary on the notes with citations.
Is there any Yiddish blogs or other small frequent things to read? I read the Yiddish Forwards for daily practice but I would like to add more.
And I know what you are thinking, yes but then we won't be able to call progressives radicals and attempt to discredit them before hearing them.
What if we stopped calling right of center liberals who are conservative things like progressive or leftist and started calling them conservatives, like they are?
If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job
The critique of Western Academic relationship to power in Orientalism is really hitting hard as a first gen college kid from rural poverty.
AI is like watching someone burn the library of Alexandria to charge increased prices to access pre-Euclidean geometry while calling themselves the most advanced mathematician ever.

Why is a CIA plant in your international women's day slide show?
Why would it ever be a valid move to cite that corrupt governments of other countries support a corrupt government?
It's not moral wisdom or ethical prudence to make judgements based purely on individual ties to an event.
Another ICE goon murder exposed from bodycam footage newly released from Texas a year ago: 23-year-old Ruben Martinez.
Not a threat. Brake lights on and trying to comply. Shot 3 times for no reason. Instead of rendering aid, he was thrown to the ground and handcuffed.
Egregious coverup.
Also half the time the real quote is like:
He says Yes, says no, long, short, unsettled.
And so the context, often times several pages worth, is needed to even make sense of what a quote is about.
Say what you will but I learned how to take the knife Malach hamavis uses to separate souls from bodies and have thus tricked him into showing me pardes whilest still living!
I'm now using whether people think the tilt of the earth or government mandated daylight savings time causes it to be light later at night in the summer versus the winter as an intelligence test.
SCOOP: Proton Mail provided Swiss authorities with payment data that the FBI then used to determine who was allegedly behind an anonymous account affiliated with the Stop Cop City movement in Atlanta, according to a court record reviewed by 404 Media.

Hey, actually, no, it's not just meat that can get you sick. That's concerning. I hope you wash the fertilizer off of your vegetables and practice food safety around your rice and other starch blocks.
There have been a number of reasons I have been opposed to Zionism my entire life. This is one of them that was very obvious and clear to me. It's good to see people coming around but it's frustrating that people are just now figuring out that this is a problem.
There has always been a problem of branding a nation state as being synonymous with Jews--governments are fallible and often tolerable evils at best. When that government then does horrible things, if you invested in PR campaigns that it is Jews, Jews is it, criticism will normalize antisemitism.

I am somewhat fascinated by the urge for waves of immigrants to settle in essentially their former environment.
