the dem had 4 years to bring consequences for an attempted coup, and they did nothing. they had 50 years to enshrine abortion, but did nothing. they had 60 years to strengthen civil rights, they did nothing. now they have the will of the people behind them for impeachment, guess what they'll do
Everyone wants to hate on duels but two dudes can settle their beef and leave the rest of us out of it with a similar end for the losing dude
Taylor is a personal friend, but I also really admire her boots-on-the-ground work as a 100% independent journalist. She pairs deep local knowledge and context with genuine curiousness in a rare way. Her report on a day in immigration court is a must read. Some of the details will floor you

The Minneapolis police officer that shot and killed 22-year-old Amir Locke during a no-knock raid in 2022 is now a leader within the Minneapolis Police Department’s new Health & Wellness Division.
ICE hanging out next to the playground on my block in a literal white panel van.
Gather round, children, and let me tell you about a little faction known as the Tomb Lords
The lack of evangelical Christians? Let's take a little count of some of the evangelical Christians in power:
Speaker of the House
Secretary of Defense
The departing Secretary of DHS
Trump's nominee to replace her
US Ambassador to Israel
OMB Director
Director of White House Faith Office
Who cares what anyone thinks about BlueSky. Of course it’s shit, all the platforms are shit. Unless you’re an investor why would you go into bat for a platform whose managers also seem pretty shit
I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.
This is true. Universe was just Lost [Cause] in Space
But Davis! Think of the guy who owns an entire building valued at $9mil! He is just a smol bean. He is just a simple man, never even seen the inside of a bank or met a qualified attorney in his life. He just woke up one day and had this portfolio
Having been a landlord who accepted Section 8 and worked with other Mpls affordable housing initiatives, I can tell you for certain, 1 additional month notice before evicting someone shouldn’t break ANY landlord’s back. You have collateral! It’s a building! Any bank will work with you for 30 days!
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
map of the circling N119SP helicopter over north minneapolis.
State Patrol helicopters are back today, this time over North Minneapolis. Remember in 2020 when they claimed helicopters stopped 92 carjackings, then it was revealed the Public Information Officer lied and it was 2, or maybe none? At $1000/hr, much more transparency is needed about these flights.
The Espionage Act has been used to criminalize whistleblowing and newsgathering for years.

Please take the time to do this! The useless mayor must be reminded that people want him to do the right thing for once.
Since it’s haberdashery day, the Mpls jacket project is advancing ... Snaps style will likely be in your hands around State Fair time due to production starting from scratch. Gotta sell >60 of these babies & I’ll need pre-payment. The same folks who are making these made St. Paul’s THE JACKET.
I guess at least I get some of that % increase back in Costco shop cards
dana you write blogs for a living and spend your time yelling at people 40years your junior on the internet, then complain when they are mean to you. i remember you from twitter too.
maybe you can support Minnesotans still suffering from ICE continued presence or use your wisdom to do this in IL
its not! mentioning they exist, that they have rosters and alumni is not the same as 'deviate from your mission statement' and 'back a campaign to the hilt' or even 'call your list'.
i will now directly ask you to do work tho- maybe you can help my neighbors who are still impacted by Metro Surge
if you came here to lurk comments, inform me of the margins, or are mad at me for besmirching the sacrosanct Oklahoma Democratic Party- plz take that energy and put it into helping my neighbors who are still facing crisis thanks to operation metro surge.
this is why i mentioned them. just like their mission statement says- their recruits could be the next X, Y, Z. im constantly impressed by their staff and the candidates they work with
9yrs of phenomenal work recruiting/supporting downtickets in oft abandoned states, also means they have alumni!
this is true, but its worth contending- it can waste opposition resources for those who care more about the dollars/cents but it more than that. It can lead to everyday people testing and building those muscles for future races. Paulette Jordan didn't have a shot in ID, worthwhile run tho
Miss 100% of shots you don't take
The 3 currently filed candidates are not what any state party should call top or mid tier recruits, Dem Sen candidates do 5-10pt better than Pres there
What do I know, I only held Dem offices, attended DNCs, & flipped a legislature with an novel apartment program.
Lmao I'll never delete, I can guarantee you that in this last decade of decline & destruction that I have done more directly for the democratic party both nationally & locally than you have and have actively done more to combat fascism in my community and in youth than you have
Look me up lolololol
Muting this now.
Ya miss 100% of the shots you don't take
weird shit happens in weird times (remember Doug Jones? Hated GOP candidates can fumble a seat, ex: what if fmr Superintendent Walters runs)
And more primary candidates than the 3 who have raised collectively less than 80k is a good thing
1) There are 3 people who are running and none of them have much of a footprint fundraising or otherwise. None have been elected to any level of office before
2) yah i understand that, I'm from TX, got fam in OK. Ya miss 100% of the shots you don't take and a birddogging campaign can be useful
Trump just gave Oklahoma Dems such a golden opportunity, filing deadline (unlike most places) hasn't passed yet. Any appointed Sen is easier than Millionaire Mullin
If they wanted to [they don't] they have 4 whole weeks to find someone. Maybe @runforsomething.net has someone great in their rosters
