Reminder that LOCAL ELECTIONS MATTER.
When ICE comes to your district to buy a warehouse to turn into a concentration camp, commissioners and city council members can make it difficult. Refusal to allow utilities, zoning rules, etc.
Vote on behalf of every human in danger of being detained.
Authorities are seeking the public's help in finding a 12-year-old boy who ran away from home Sunday night.
I want to swap out my old Corolla for an EV next year, but I have zero interest in spending $50k for one, which is the only price US carmakers are interested in.
If one of them rolled out a $22k EV it be the best-selling vehicle within a year. So why won't they? Big Oil, the Shithead in power.
July 21 1935: The Führer orders a new reception hall and ballroom to "entertain foreign diplomats" at the Chancellery. Underneath the dance floor is an air raid shelter. A 2nd deeper bunker is built next to this in 1944, where he would spend his last days as the Reich collapsed.
Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs.
Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026.
This is what corporate greed looks like.
Jim Jordan is commenting on Eric Swalwell's sexual misconduct allegations. Jordan was assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State while team doctor Richard Strauss sexually abused at least 177 athletes. Multiple wrestlers testified under oath they told Jordan. He did nothing. He was never charged.
Seems like they could’ve had this at a coffee shop
The effective federal corporate income tax rate:
1950: 50%
1990: 25%
2020: 13%
Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.
That is how we will pay for it.
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.

“If they can automatically enroll men into the draft at 18, they can automatically register Americans to vote at 18.
Ask yourself why they won’t”

Democratic senators: It's time to draw a line in the sand.
A nominee for Attorney General will soon come before you. Make the confirmation process about releasing ALL of the Epstein files (without redactions) and prosecuting the Epstein class. (1/2)
Does it help if you’re not the only one?
Proud to share that the Union Park Housing Stability Fund is now accepting donations!
SAUER: We're in a new world where 8 billion people are one plane ride away from having a child who's a US citizen.
JOHN ROBERTS: It's a new world. It's the same Constitution.
Every day Pam Bondi doesn’t release the millions of Epstein files still being protected is another day when she is breaking the law passed near-unanimously. Why has she not been taken into custody for violating the Epstein Transparency Act?
RUBIO: “Imagine if Iran spent billions on its people instead of weapons... They’d have a much different country.”🤔😕
Unreal. @marcorubio Do you even hear yourselves? Your shameless hypocrisy is killing us
Was excited to go to the Mayo Clinic to hopefully get to the bottom of all these food allergies, and then got a lovely call letting me know they don’t take my (stupidly expensive, PPO) insurance and that will be a $5000 down payment PER SPECIALTY.
I think this is a bad system actually.
Pulitzer-worthy
h/t to @adammockler.com for pointing out this gem from 2016.

The United States is contemplating threatening to kill people with HIV in another country as leverage to get that country's minerals.
We have become a sick nation, just as depraved and disgusting as its leader.
Accurate
This is a long duration storm. Most of the snow falls tonight through Sunday morning. Wake up, be lazy, enjoy coffee and family time, then go shovel once.
Shovel again before dinner, and probably once more before work Monday.
Break up a foot (ish) of snow into chunks. Your back will be happier.
Give yourself time 🌈
A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.
Difficult to emphasize just how much a generation of kids has been taught that being dishonest, superficial, and narcissistic is the pathway to attention and therefore success
This is the guy who likes to downplay non-fatal injuries suffered by US service members in combat.
NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”
