Star Trek Deep Space Nine scene. A PADD is shown up close held by a pair of hands. (Kind of looks like an old palm pilot and if you're not old this will mean nothing to you) 
The beautiful LCARS user interface is displaying the text, "GO AWAY."

Remember how before Walz, Target supported openly homophobic and transphobic Emmer for Gov "for the taxes"?

You know, Target? The "woke" brand?

Yeah, they *never* changed.

Fascists only need to win one election to destroy democracy, whereas democrats have to win every election to preserve it. Thatโ€™s why fascists cannot be allowed into politics, why a tolerant society must never tolerate fascism or it will lose its tolerance. Itโ€™s the Popper Paradox and weโ€™re living it

Universe, I hate our mayor.

The City of Minneapolis and Target Corporation are proud to present the first annual

encampment bulldozing to follow (if weather permits)

A reminder that our mayor does not, never has, and never will work for the people of this city.

The people he perceives as his bosses live elsewhere.

It's wild to me that this all existing without the added context that the County is no longer using Emergency Assistance funds to cover missed-month rent or damage/security deposits as of 3/7/26. So people's options are even more limited, something Frey undoubtably knows.

The bright red critical word in this is "Schmittian", which is the core of this whole thing. Carl Schmitt, as much as any single person, laid the ideological foundations of Nazi political methodology and the ways that the right can subvert and capture liberal democracies. They're all nazis at heart.

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.

Universe, the US consumes more oil by an order of mag than *anyone else*.

Recall that the most common job in the US is "truck driver".

My last three reposts are three different ways AI is fundamentally damaging our culture.

Iโ€™ve also received six emails this morning all written by AI. Two are scams claiming to be from famous writers who are fans of my work. Itโ€™s exhausting having to wade through slop and scams just to do my job

Every time I see that "post a robot" meme, I want to post that out of context clip from The Black Hole (1979). No doubt, BSky will label it as "sexually suggestive".

This is a powerful letter from Minneapolis Legislative Delegation asking Mayor Frey to sign Pause Evictions, Save Lives.

16/17 state legislators who represent Minneapolis signed onto this letter. Itโ€™s time for Mayor Frey to sign this ordinance and support our immigrant neighbors.

Because Bsky's lack of an auto-delete bothers me, here's a Dockerfile.

Might write a helm chart later.

Insurrectionist Brunch: Trumpists plotted to deploy military on U.S. soil Before the 2024 election, a cadre of MAGA loyalists met over brunch to plot ways for Trump to use the military domestically.

This is just astonishingly great reporting.

All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them.

And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.

I've submitted multiple. Never once been published. They often don't even publish my comments on anti trans nyt articles. It's that repressive.

Every time I write a critique of the New York Time's coverage of transgender people, people always tell me, "submit a letter to the editor."

I have, multiple times.

I don't think people understand how averse the NYT is to publishing a trans person.

It's almost frustrating that people ask me to.

NBC News poll

Voters hold negative views of Al. In fact, the only topics less popular in the survey were the Democratic Party and Iran.

'Everything gone': Venezuelan family says they lost their home and jobs after being detained for 2 months Adriana Laya and Miguel Alberto Caicedo thought their worst nightmare was over when they were released with their two children from a detention center in Dilley, Texas.

Even when an unlawfully detained family is released from ICE detention, the nightmare does not end. Many families, like Laya and Caicedo's, have their lives destroyed by DHS while they strive to navigate our complicated asylum system.
