Minneapolis did burn down and is super dangerous with the criming. Stay in your suburbs and do not come here. Also, you do not want to have to contend with all the bike lanes.

There are people who still think the cities of Minneapolis and Portland got reduced to ashes by BLM.

It’s Yarvinite nonsense, perhaps, but they need to contend with late 19th and early 20th Century history, during which the plutocrats found it difficult to keep the riches peacefully to themselves.

"I once met a former bodyguard of one billionaire with his own "bunker", who told me his security team's first priority, if this really did happen, would be to eliminate said boss and get in the bunker themselves. And he didn't seem to be joking."

Tech billionaires seem to be doom prepping. Should we be worried?

On the contrary, Scott, your riches are built on the backs of working people who actually do stuff.

This is worse than Romney’s 40%. He’s saying our well-being depends on the generosity of his rich friends. It is hard to imagine anything more un-American

The administration liked 2020 and is trying to recreate it (but with backwards social progress). Did you?

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

Democrats need to put the same extended media consuming outrage into the Young Republican Nazi chats as Republicans mustered for Biden going for ice cream.

A 79 year old freshman Senator is an obviously self-defeating thing to back

🚨 The DSCC — led by Kirsten Gillibrand, Mark Kelly, Adam Schiff, and Lisa Blunt Rochester — has formed a joint fundraising committee with Janet Mills.

Mills, running against Graham Platner in the Maine Democratic Senate primary, would become the oldest freshman (79) ever elected, to a 6-year term.

Lovely ode to Minneapolis from the Strib's Eric Roper: www.startribune.com/roper-doomsd...

Roper: Doomsday docs aside, Minneapolis’ lush urbanity makes it a special place to call home

The city blossoms in the warmer months, even when bad headlines drown out what makes it great.

Yes but also grievance is their only value

Dave Weigel @daveweigel.bsky.social · 1d

I'm generalizing, but why do conservatives remember political irritations for so much longer than liberals?

It's been 17 years since Obama said some voters "cling to their guns, to their religion" and I heard a senator denounce that last month.

So I’ve been following an undercover ice vehicle from Franklin Ave South towards the Greenway for the last five minutes or so roughly 12:30 PM central time this is a picture of the vehicle and the inhabitants of the car who opened the window when they saw I was taking photos of them.

Photo of a license plate reading PY352 Minnesota license plate and it is an undercover vehicle

Two very tasty ice undercover agents in their undercover vehicle waving to the camera

More blurry image of the driver of the vehicle a very, very bald, very angry, looking older gentleman

Trump’s tariffs on China (and Canada for that matter) will already make so many things far more expensive or not available at all. Then China’s “countermeasures” will devastate US businesses when they further lose the Chinese market.

It’s almost as if Trump is TRYING to destroy the U.S. economy.
