trump likes wars. he likes killing people. he likes feeling like he's hurting others.

we all know this. there is no reason to believe this is a distraction, rather than something he just really likes and feels good about.

Stephen Miller wants to deport as many non white people as possible and his armed goons are killing city residents and sending children to concentration camps but my councilmember thinks it's important that hotel owners be able to continue to profit from housing them during their terror campaign.

"One Minute Tours"? It doesn't take me a whole minute to be problematic, I can get there in 15 seconds, tops.

DM for your 15 second tour today.

I cannot emphasize this enough: a bunch of Minneapolis CMs are pulling beyond their weight and other ones owe their constituents apologies at the very least

I will believe that ICE enforcement has changed on the ground when I stop getting daily notices that armed, masked goons are circling my kids’ schools and trying to sow fear in the parent patrols.

These are Minnesotans. We want them to come back. We want this to be a place they would want to return to.

My children asked if they could go over to a friend's house tonight and watch a movie. I told them absolutely not. It's Whiskey Friday with Tony Dokoupil. We do that as a family. Whiskey Friday still means something in this family.

Went with my family to Albi Kitchen tonight for sambusas and sweet drinks on the recommendation of Jason and Taylor. Fantastic. Highly recommend.

The entire force of this corrupt federal government and its rapacious propaganda machine is fixated on our state, ginning up every dangerous racist in the exurbs into a froth, in an attempt to separate you from the reality that government can help make our lives better. Don't let the bastards win.

Tom Wilkinson as Arthur Edens in MICHAEL CLAYTON. He is smiling and wearing a Santa hat, and holding a bunch of baguettes, which are also wearing Santa hats.

The Trump administration has reacted to a small scale lone wolf attack by in DC announcing a sweeping collective punishment, using the organs of government to heap blame on partisan rivals, and potentially dissuading anyone from collaborating with US forces abroad for a generation.

I feel like even a small infant would listen, nod, and then go, β€œSo, just to be clear though: The machines β€” they didn’t work?”

When I asked him if he thought there was an ethical problem of having campaign signs on city property next to the police table, he feigned ignorance and said he was "just there for the kids".

Like, he could have set up anywhere along 13th Ave. Setting up on the fire station lawn was a choice.

There was a trick or treating event along the commercial corridor in my neighborhood with many businesses and organizations participating. It was fantastic.

What I didn't like was my council member setting up a campaign table on the front lawn of the fire station next to the MPD table.

Got a campaign mailer from a PAC today urging a vote for Frey because he is against corruption. It might have been a little more impactful if the Mayor's close friend and ally wasn't indicted today on federal embezzlement charges.

Rick Kupchella didn't pay me any money to rent space in my head so I think I'm going to just read a book or something.

For years I've dismissed concerns about gentrification in my neighborhood but now there is a Cybertruck parked out front. Really learned my lesson with this one.

I got a Spotify ad for a crypto wallet that was endorsed by Dave Portnoy and now I am really wondering why they think I would like that.

Not knowing how to say acetaminophen shows it's pretty apparent he never took any of his kids to the doctor at least once.

A columnist in the Strib referred to CK as a "kind and bold soul." I wonder was the requirements are to be a columnist over there.

Tiktok comment: "Y'all it's not about the rebranding, Maddy is from my town and she's fairly mad that she and her family got banned because of one mistake one night, nobody should get banned for just one mistake and it's not right!!"

Tiktok comment: "oooohh....tell us more."

Tiktok comment: "Parker got a little too drunk at the game right before dinner and it was right that the staff put him in his place like they did because he DID step out of line but it's ridiculous to punish a young father for just one mistake with a ban. How can he learn and grow and show his kids what a man looks like if he doesn't have the chance to make up for his mistake now?? The world is a fallen place that wanders away from god."

There should be restorative justice programs for people that have been kicked out of Cracker Barrel for being too intoxicated with their family.

Two different, but still very good pieces of advice.

the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.
