I've lived in downtown Minneapolis -- in the Mill District, near the Guthrie Theater, in an affordable apartment building -- for 18 years and can confirm that it doesn't suck. Fear-mongering about the terror and chaos of Downtown --> snorts of uncontrollable laughter

Deleted posts about Kristi Noem news conference Friday in MSP, so I can summarize reliable sources info: presser email is real, but likely part of a multi-city tour Noem is doing to back-pat Dept of Homeland Security. References “ICE operations“— doesn’t necessarily mean ICE actions here.

One reliable media source thinks it’s less about MSP or a specific ICE actions (remember the release does say “ICE operations”) but rather part of a multi-city tour touting DHS … guess we’ll see.

A Facebook commenter, an hour ago, FWIW: "Pretty sure she will be at the Whipple building, Ft. Snelling, FYI."
Heather Crafty Friedli-Ratzlaff commented: Pretty sure she will be at the Whipple building, Ft. Snelling, FYI.
Seems like something we should all be paying attention to…

As a motherfucker from Lake Forest, sort of -- I lived there from ages 14-19, a million years ago -- I'm not taking this personally, because I'm not one of *those* motherfuckers from Lake Forest.

Worth a read: a letter in a paper in Alexandria says Kupchella sucks, Minneapolis rocks www.echopress.com/opinion/lett...
Commentary: We live in downtown Minneapolis and we like it
From the commentary: If the TV documentary, “A Precarious State,” was the only available information about Minneapolis, who’d choose to live amongst so much crime?

COMMUNITY ICE-BREAKER! Come get a short introduction to how regular people in Chicago, LA, and DC are using whistles, community safety patrols, and neighborhood rapid response networks to protect neighbors and families from being abducted and disappeared. Come grab a free whistle and a guide and go - OR stay and spend a little time outdoors practicing and playing through some scenarios with your neighbors! Kids are welcome to join in, we are going to have some serious fun!

Soft Cell are one of the great visual realisations of a band concept - it’s so much more effective that alongside the alluring leather clad freak there’s this normie guy in a suit whose job at the underground sex disco is unclear but whose eyes leave no doubt that asking funny will see you fucked up

In 1975, after decades of illegally surveilling & sabotaging left-wing movements in the US (and assassinating people abroad) the Senate painstaking wrote out the government's playbook for destroying movements.

In January, the first commercial and streamlined version of this report hits bookstores.

At one factory pigeons infested a storage room and defecated on boxes of sterilized equipment. At another, pathogens contaminated purified water used to make drugs. At a third, stagnant urine pooled on a bathroom floor not far from where injectable meds were made.

And it’s thus no coincidence that right-wing parties have used exactly this kind of images before in a similar manner: if your politics is all about offering imaginary solutions to mostly phantasmatic problems, generative AI is the perfect tool for propaganda. Every slogan can become an image

I came across "aposiopesis" last week and looked it up AT ONCE! "...a sentence is deliberately broken off and left unfinished, the ending to be supplied by the imagination, giving an impression of unwillingness or inability to continue"

A Very Serious Young Woman, circa 1984. I was probably thinking about something I'd read in the Village Voice, or the Replacements
A young woman, around 21, in a green shirt, with short curly dark hair and a serious expression, sitting on an upholstered chair next to an end table with a lamp.
