Please watch the whole video from our Saint Paul Olympian. It’s one of the most direct and eloquent statements about the situation that I’ve heard from anyone.
Proud to be a Minnesotan, proud to be represented by Rich Ruohonen.
Is the end goal of Capital-driven genocide not simply delivering the furnace to your doorstep?

Man on a local news street interview: The earth is a resort for like 500 rich people and the rest of us are just the staff.
This shit hits like a sledgehammer right now. It's not even remotely an exaggeration.
#taxact claims it can't make filing taxes fun.
But I bet it could if it weren't all going to military spending.
Chuck Schumer's starting position should be as maximalist as possible -- complete abolition of ICE, resignations of Bovino, Homan, Noem and Miller, unmasking of all agents, and prosecution by state authorities of the murderers.
Don't start with what looks like a compromise half-measure.
Everyone: It killed a kid by denied medical care. Murder, one might say.
Dems: "Just needs reform."
This is the way, make “ok, abolish only ICE” the moderate position.

This is unconscionable. Evil.
But it happened in May 2023, when Biden was president.
So no, we don’t “reform immigration detention,” we destroy ICE, CBP, and DHS. We can’t reform this soul sickness.
Total cave-in. Billions more to terrorize Americans and ethnically cleanse the US.
So here's the deal, @murray.senate.gov, @cantwell.senate.gov. You say that "Democrats need to be in power" to make the necessary changes to ICE. So you can't do anything. Fine. But what you can do, even without a majority, is say aloud, in public, that ICE needs to be abolished. Do that or retire.
“umm but that food is gross”
That's not the point. The point is it's a meal with not a lot of food, and ordinarily, when I order a meal, I'm getting a lot of food waste. Seven fries is all in eating. I probably won't eat any crinkle cut fries though.
Holy shit this is targeted to my appetite.
"Fight the Power" is the definitive political anthem by Public Enemy, originally commissioned by director Spike Lee for his 1989 film Do the Right Thing. It is widely regarded as one of the most influential songs in music history, recently ranked #2 on Rolling Stone's 2025
Amazing what ancient people built even though they were all skeletons
The double pardon really gives away the game. Adriana Camberos started her second round of fraud just weeks after her first pardon. She was charged, convicted, imprisoned…and pardoned again. Trump supporters are permitted unlimited crimes, while the rest of us can get beaten by the secret police.

Boromir from the movie The Fellow ship of the rings thinking out loud about the one ring, with the caption "Perhaps we could give the ring better training."
As it is cultivated, AI concerns itself only with solutions, and gives no thought to protocol (privileged/secret information) or human interest (sportsmanship).
If this is how AI treats a game, how can anyone possibly entertain thoughts of it making real ethical judgments?
But that it would
1. Have advance access to the Wordle solution and
2. Not be smart enough to know part of the enjoyment one derives from the game is the challenge of trying to figure it out
Demonstrates an immediate twofold ethical downfall in AI…
Google Gemini (which I might point out now, is not immediately apparent how to switch off) clearly understands Wordle is one of my favorite searches, as I compete daily with another amateur writer.
That it understands this much about me is a little unnerving but hardly surprising.
Leaving aside your own feelings about the relevance of a pandemic-era word game during the height of a nationwide military coup, I think this highlights a disturbing trend in AI behavior that remains unchecked because (I feel) the gatekeepers of this technology encourage it.
My phone—without warning and totally unprovoked—told me tomorrow's Wordle solution.
Comic-con deciding to allow GenAi imagery in the art show —giving valuable space to GenAi users to show slop right NEXT to actual artists who worked their asses off to be there— is a disgrace!
A tone deaf decision that rewards and normalizes exploitative GenAi against artists in their own spaces!
A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.
Know who profits from ICE's cruelty. https://www.thenation.com/article/activism/ice-businesses-boycott-campaign/
And in case you're white and wondering why BIPOC people are saying “yeah, and?” it might be because they've been waiting for us to do something useful for generations, but anyway now Trump is so old by the time we bring him to justice, he might not live to see it.
And now we're seeing the fallout as every level of American law enforcement and military spits on the Constitution they swore to uphold to kowtow to this virulent scum because they all ascribe to an ideology where regular citizens don't matter.
So in case you're ten years late to the shit show, a fascist dictator has finessed his way into the top tier of US government, supported by only a predictable portion of the populace, but supported by understandably immoral billionaires who stand to benefit from his machinations.
