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.

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.

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.

It simply should not be possible for the president to repeatedly claim that a major city is burning without a wall of live standups happening in that city clearly demonstrating that it is not

UPDATE: In emailed statement to me / @reason.com, DHS alleges that WGN-TV producer Debbie Brockman "threw objects at Border Patrol’s car and she was placed under arrest for assault on a federal law enforcement officer."

Screencap of email from DHS public affairs: Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin:

“U.S. Border Patrol was conducting immigration enforcement operations and when several violent agitators used their vehicles to block in agents in an effort to impede and assault federal officers. In fear of public safety and of law enforcement, officers used their service vehicle to strike a suspect’s vehicle and create an opening. As agents were driving, Deborah Brockman, a U.S. citizen, threw objects at Border Patrol’s car and she was placed under arrest for assault on a federal law enforcement officer.

“This incident is not isolated and reflects a growing and dangerous trend of illegal aliens violently resisting arrest and agitators and criminals ramming cars into our law enforcement officers. These attacks highlight the dangers our law enforcement officers face daily—all while receiving no pay thanks to the Democrats’ government shutdown.”

As a protest optics nerd love about the inflatables is how much they visually disrupt and pull focus from the fascist shock imagery Noem & Miller are trying to create.

So many of these photos now look like the world's silliest dance party, backgrounded by a bunch of guys in uniform looking awkward

Authoritarians believe the only way to make anyone do something is by force, they completely overlook persuasion: it's one of their biggest weaknesses and it pains me to see people on "my side" making the same mistake

This was not why he won the Nobel Peace Prize and I do not understand why white people do not get it. He won it for getting elected to the presidency as a Black man in the US. They gave MLK the prize for his civil rights activism and basically treated Obama’s election as civil rights activism.

Jacob T. Levy @jacobtlevy.bsky.social · 4d

One of the only things Trump has ever been right about: Obama had no business winning the Nobel Peace Prize for what amounted to the accomplishment of being a US president who was not George W Bush. (Remember, he had been in office for eight months at the time.)
