Just say a clip of Mamdami and Obama visiting a pre-school or kindergarten classroom. They were singing "The Wheels on the Bus" with the kids. It made me cry.

This is as heinous as Chip Roy’s MAMDAMI Act.

ICE agent charged with two felonies for pointing his gun at motorists during Operation Metro Surge Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said a nationwide warrant has been issued in the first criminal charges against an ICE agent for on-duty actions during the surge.

A nationwide warrant has been issued in the first criminal charges against an ICE agent for on-duty actions during the enforcement surge in Minnesota.

this is what i meant weeks ago when i said so much of the aggressive surge in migrant policing felt like a boundary test, where a period of highly visible violence would eventually recede in favor of less visible and more "professionalized" migrant policing at a level beyond its baseline pre-trump.

🏳️‍🌈 Miami Beach just unveiled its relocated rainbow crosswalk this morning!

Now rebuilt in city-owned Lummus Park — just feet from the original spot on Ocean Drive & 12th Street, where the state ripped it out last year.

Pride always finds a way! 🌈

Insider trading alert. Also: How corrupt. Also: This is how oligarchies work although usually they're a little more subtle about it.

Most likely, and of course, all speculation right now, this is why Melania did her 6 min statement today.

Amanda Ungaro was brought here as a 17-year-old model. She flew to NYC on Epstein's private plane.

BREAKING NEWS: a federal judge just ordered the Trump administration to turn over all their evidence on Renee Good’s murder.

probably safe to assume a really gross report about melania and epstein is about to drop

Chicago Turns All Public School IDs Into Library Cards To Boost Student Access Chicago Public Library and CPS announced the expansion of The 81 Club, building on a pilot launched in 2022 to give students access to the library system's vast collection and databases.

This is such a good idea. We should do this in NYC.

"All Chicago Public Schools students now have access to nearly everything the city’s libraries have to offer — including physical items like books as well as extensive digital resources."

"Other countries are our property, and we dictate their behavior. You know, like women in marriage."

I like this because it articulates the conservative concept of freedom in a nutshell. You have the freedom to do x, except you don't, because I don't want you to. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Nothing says "We the People" quite like this event at MarALago.

Donald Trump just posted a video of Somali people enjoying the Mall of America to the soundtrack of “Mad World” because he is a bigoted POS

unlike education, health care, child care or parental leave which is woke bull shit

Every year, hundreds of people walk silently through the streets of Minneapolis… looking at the windows of the houses.

It's the Wedge Cat Tour: the residents put the cats in the window and the crowd stops to admire them.
Yes. This exists. 😹

The flag in Trump‘s new AI presidential library video has 56 stars

The fact that Trump is going to oral arguments to pressure the justices to acquiesce to his attempted nullification of a constitutional amendment and create a stateless class for the first time since the civil war, illustrates what is really at the core of the Trump project and it isn’t tariffs.

Denton County and its economy are built around the University of North Texas. Denton County also went 56/43 for Trump in 2024. That's because most voters there wanted to get rid of immigrants.

Now, as international students disappear, the university is collapsing. They burned down their own house.

The people of the Twin Cities of Minnesota will be honored with a John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award® for risking their lives to protect their neighbors and immigrant community members from an unprecedented federal law enforcement operation, peacefully defending the human rights and values that serve as the foundation of our Constitutional democracy.

A tweet that reads “The new academic wealth gap isn't your university. It's not even your advisor's connections. It's who knows Claude can turn 50+ research papers into a thesis chapter in 3 hours and who's still manually coding qualitative data. I just watched a sociology PhD skip 8 weeks of analysis. Here are the 9 prompts they used:”

fuck this so much

we are so not prepared for the mountain of dogshit “scholarship” about to flood journals everywhere

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.

Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.

The 25th is never happening.
