Some professors at the University of St. Thomas are doing a research project on the effects of the ICE occupation on Twin Cities parents. They're looking for parents who are US citizens, who live in the Twin Cities metro area, and who have kids ages 5-10.

The problem with foreigners is they always want to know what love is
Happy Square Root of Christmas to those who celebrate!

At root this is the most depraved thing about right wing evangelical Christianity: asking god for forgiveness is about meaning it and proving through your actions that you mean it, not βGod whispered to me that Iβm all good so shut the fuck up about it already lolβ
Claude AI chat page. The heading has been changed to "Who do you want to kill today?"
I created a ChatGPT replacement that is completely private. The downside is that you have to provide both sides of the conversation. radcliffe.dev/mirrorchat/
I'm sure that this wouldn't have any unintended consequences.
So SCOTUS, with its fabricated-out-of-thin-air immunity doctrine, has actually made American presidents less accountable than LITERAL royalty.
I think that it's unrealistic, and even a bit oppressive, to expect every student to be passionate about math. You can be successful in math even if it's not your favorite thing.

It appears MN vs ICE is now off NewsHour 's editorial agenda. One thing fascists understand is the short attention span of the American News media and its people. We're alone and on our own.
A large CAVA bag stuffed with what it says is $50,000 for White House Border Czar Tom Homan.
Itβs been reported Homan took bribery money when he was recorded by the FBI accepting a bag full of $50,000 in cash.
βICE GTFO OF MNβ
Minneapolis February 4, 2026
Democratic voters want ICE to be abolished, and we won't settle for reforms.
Puerto Rico doesn't have the death penalty, and the mainland U.S. has its own history of political assassinations, so I don't know what Dave Landau is talking about.
I excluded ProPublica because they focus on investigative reporting but not general news reporting. Curiously, our local FOX affiliate named the officers. Sometimes they seem to be less conservative than our other network affiliates.
Are any of the mainstream media reporting the names of the agents who shot Alex Pretti?

if you feel like passing around a link today and helping fundraise for rent that will actually get paid today (and in the next few days for families who have a grace period) you can send here.
we will be going hard all day. i wonβt be posting about it because I donβt want to flood your feeds.
And misogynistic, of course.
I finally understand why the man attacked Ilhan Omar with a mixture of vinegar and water. He was calling her a "douche". Get it???? It's so stupid it makes my head spin.
Trump: "People that own their homes -- we're gonna keep them wealthy. We're gonna keep those prices up. We're not gonna destroy the value of their homes so that somebody who didn't work very hard can buy a home."
The Minnesota Orchestra is changing its program for this weekend's performances in honor of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Friday's concert will be livestreamed for free on YouTube.
Yes, because every phrase in English has exactly one meaning and it is not necessary to consider the context in which it was uttered.
It probably depends on the bank. My bank ATMs give $50 bills.
Today, Equifax extracts over $800 million worth of contracts from the federal government and state governments each year. Much of that total is for access to its Workforce Solutions product, the Work Number, which provides data on workersβ income and employment. The Work Numberβs basic business model is to purchase exclusive rights to worker data from employers and payroll providers (often without a workerβs knowledge) and then sell that data to banks, creditors, and governments for a profit.
America has a taste for means-testing safety net policies, and not investing in state capacity to manage the resulting complexity. We focus a lot on how this makes life harder for clients, but it also creates the conditions where private actors who offer to solve this problem can extract rents.
My "ICE is a legitimate law enforcement agency" shirt has people asking a lot of questions already raised by my shirt.
Let p(n) denote the partition function, the number of ways of writing n as the sum of positive integers.
Heffernan-MacHale Conjecture: If p(n) divides n!, then
n β { 1,2,3,7,9,10,11,12,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,24,28,32,33,39 }.
