Incredible thread. The level of in person community-building and mutual aid that came out Minneapolis is unprecedented in modern American times.

Federal Grand Jury Charges Southern Poverty Law Center for Wire Fraud, False Statements, and Conspiracy to Commit Money Laundering A Grand Jury in Montgomery, Alabama, today returned an indictment charging the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) with 11 counts of wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspi...

1. The central claim in the indictment of SPLC is a lie.

The DOJ/FBI accuse SPLC of lying to donors about seeking to “dismantle” extremist groups while secretly funding them. But the funds were used to infiltrate & help law enforcement dismantle these groups. Kash Patel knows this is the truth…

the thing about the minneapolis paraphernalia law is that the literal state of minnesota has already passed this law and this would just bring city ordinance in alignment with it and yet it turns out our mayor and half the council are *more conservative* than the rest of the state

The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.

Nothing has killed more soldiers in the history of humanity than disease. While worst is a more complicated question Hegseth is absolutely the dumbest secretary of defense the United States has ever had. bsky.app/profile/ones...

It's risky to bring kids downtown for anything other than a city council meeting or court hearing due to the non existent public bathroom situation outside of a few blocks of government buildings.

In the literal thousand+ of headlines and articles like this that I've read and analyzed, I'm not sure I've seen one where they both mention the driver AND frame it like the car was a free agent. @calvinthigpen.com Did you see this one?

This is impressive work to address primarily gun-related homicides. Meanwhile, St Paul has had four people killed by drivers through the end of March. SPPD appears to focusing on the right things. SP Public Works, MnDOT, and Ramsey County are lagging behind in addressing vehicular violence.

And you just sat there and watched.

TIL, if you renew your driver's license in TX as an 84 year old it's valid for 8 years.

And we have receipts. Jim Dolan's security team at Madison Square Garden surveilled this woman over the course of *years* and in the smallest detail ... because she was trans.

not many people know this, but Barilla has a line of 3D printed pasta it sells mostly to the fine dining industry. I don't want the pasta. I want the pasta printer

As the senate voted to sell out the boundary waters, Jacob Frey’s cronies launched their attacks against not the people selling out our state, but the DSA and their hard working democratically elected officials

BREAKING: elected official close to her own expiration doesn’t care if vulnerable constituents in marginalized groups die; advocates for giving excessively rich people in one singular family more money instead

btw, she’s not MNGOP either

The thing where voters don't believe republican policies could be as evil as they are apparently extends to the republicans actually in charge of the government just mindlessly implementing them

Image of the proposed 466 mile citywide bike network in Milan being built for $285M.

This is more than 11x the amount that Minneapolis has spent on bike infrastructure in the past decade.

Milan GDP: $250B
Mpls GDP: $350B

For comparison, the 494 expansion from Edina to Richfield will cost $377M. 494/35W interchange: $255 million.

We can have nice things. We just choose not to.

Missouri town fires half its city council over data center deal Residents of a St. Louis suburb turned out in droves to unseat four incumbents just days after the council approved a development agreement for a $6 billion data center.

Voters in a small Missouri town, unhappy with the city council’s approval of a $6B data center, ousted all four incumbent council members running for reelection

Hell, yeah!!!

This woman is a handpicked Trump supporter from Arkansas and she is less anti-trans than the median Atlantic columnist

I've worked for a year on a story about how to drink for free in Ireland they just skeeted it out.

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I.

I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

Today 27 shackled detainees were flown from Minnesota to Louisiana.

Every ICE Air flight at MSP is observed by MN50501 volunteers - ICE hasn't stopped, neither have we.

As the comments point out, the only thing off is "US soldiers refuse orders to kill ISIS families." Nope, the military complied with orders to blow up civilian boats and a girls' school, and stood ready to carry out orders of "a whole civilization will die tonight."

just filed two habeas petitions 54 mins apart and got consecutive case numbers. even a few weeks ago, if I filed 2 petitions late on a Wednesday, they would be a few numbers apart. it makes me happy that there aren't as many habeas petitions needed such that people are staying up all hours to file

A documentary about the First Lady that costs Amazon $75,000,000 and barely makes a dent at the box office is not a smart investment on its own.

But what if that same company secures a $580,000,000 Pentagon contract around the same time?

Suddenly, the math starts to look different.

The last time I saw this sort of united public support in Minneapolis neighborhoods was the marriage equality campaign in 2012. Orange yard signs all up and down the block.

It seems reasonable that you shouldn't be able to automatically register someone to fight for a white nationalist without also automatically registering them to be able to vote out the Forest Lake Bigot's party.

A tweet by Joe Walsh criticizing the role of the Attorney General, arguing the AG should serve the American people, not the president. It includes a quoted clip of Acting AG Todd Blanche speaking at a Justice Department podium about executing the president’s agenda.

He said the quiet part out loud. You work for us, not him, Blanche.

Former Star Tribune union steward here! It’s important to know that the AI issue Propublica is striking over (getting assurances from management that they won’t replace journalists with AI) is a fight the Strib is also having.

Did…the Trump regime lowkey threaten to kill the pope?
