In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

whats so crazy to me is the only job that chatbots could actually eliminate right now is ceo, every company could save millions today right now by replacing their ceo with a computer program that just parrots what other ceos say

Poll finds share of US Democrats backing Israel dwindling to 33% All-time low figure marks sharp decline from 63% who viewed Israel favorably just three years ago, but Jewish Democrats point to 'unwavering' support from party leaders

This is from almost 2 months ago, and I don't think that percentage has gone up. So yes it is completely disingenuous framing to say that the Democratic electorate is more favorable towards aipac or Israel.

It’s not media cluelessness – it’s cowardice and complicity But there’s another word starting with “C” that describes some journalists: courage.

Journalists might've once had the excuse that the didn’t realize how bad MAGA extremism would be. But they can't plead cluelessness now. What’s left are cowardice, complicity and courage. Pick one.

Keith is 100% right. Commercial property ownership is almost always the problem holding back neighborhoods and growth.

looking forward to this plus the 5G whackos contributing to the swift downfall of the 49er organization

It’s an absolute outrage that someone so unreliable has been put in charge of the vital work of Female Body Inspection

Reminder: Frey supported the bathhouses issue moving forward just a few days ago.

Sen. Mike Crapo blocked Sen. Elizabeth Warren's last-ditch attempt to preserve the IRS's free Direct File program.

In the last election cycle, Crapo was the top GOP congressional recipient of campaign contributions from the corporate PAC of TurboTax's parent company.

Sam Stroozas’ MPR article explains how the largest raid on a bathhouse occurred in Mpls. The Health Commissioner at the time presented that closures would not decrease HIV transmission & folks would go elsewhere. Yet, stigma led to the ban passing. Today, the Mayor’s rhetoric still feeds into that.

Yesterday MPHA & affiliated nonprofit Community Housing Resources filed a combined 48 evictions. These alone represent 85% of Hennepin County filings & 57% of all statewide filings on 4/14/26.

81% of the cases allege less than $1,000 in overdue rent.

i can't help but think about 10 or 11 years ago when conservatives insisted that obama was uniquely anti-catholic because his administration thought that catholic-led orgs could just fill out a form if they didn't want to cover contraceptives in their health plans for employees.

Dave Chappelle Says ‘I Resent the Republican Party’ Because They ‘Weaponized’ Transgender Jokes: ‘That’s Not What I Was Doing’ Dave Chappelle says members of the Republican party have "weaponized" and "politicized" his transgender jokes.

It's weird he didn't see this very obvious thing coming given why he started feeling extremely uncomfortable with the Chapelle Show

I feel like they were doing a weaponized version of what I was doing

I was handcuffed/charged with jaywalking (didn’t) holding a large camera taking a photo of street outside this McDonald’s.

While detained, MPD ignored multiple burglary calls. I had to take it all the way to trial where they tried to shake me down for a plea before dismissing 1 min before trial.
