Soren Stevenson has won the city council race in the 8th ward of Minneapolis on a police accountability platform that is staunchly critical of incumbent Mayor Jacob Frey. That’s a seat vacated by a Frey ally who typically sided with the establishment wing of the council.

honestly this time it’s kind of on the DFL throwing a fit and rescinding the Fateh endorsement—if that hadn’t happened, Davis and Jazz might have ended their campaigns. But yeah, this is the signature democrat problem; it’s a coalition party. Repubs fall in line.

You don’t need the passive voice here tbh, you can just say what happened—the MPD shot him in the face while he was peacefully protesting.

He lost by *38* votes in the last election, really glad to see him win it tonight!

Fateh/Davis/Hampton ran a coalition “don’t rank Frey” campaign, so we’re not totally cooked. If enough Davis and Jazz voters ranked Fateh 2nd (which they should have, bc if you like any of those guys you hate Frey) a Fateh win is still possible. We won’t know tonight!

PEORIA, Ill. (AP) — Illinois deputy found guilty of murder in the shooting of Sonya Massey, a Black woman who called 911 asking for help.

broke: the wnba is boring they don’t dunk

woke: the wnba still obeys the rules of basketball, whereas the nba says you can just do whatever the fuck you want as long as it makes the highlight reel

This is technically not a travel, because he takes about 2.5 steps after the gather and they let you do that. It SHOULD be a carry before the gather, but the NBA lets players cheat the rule by palming the ball as long as their hand isn’t underneath it. So it’s a legal play. But it’s also hideous.

Not helping, South Korea. This is what NOT helping looks like. 🤦‍♀️

That last note is truly incredible, perfect metaphor, no notes.

Marjorie Taylor Green is literally the Jewish space lasers lady

She’s an anti-semite!

That’s why she opposes Israel, not because she supports human rights

Do not fucking circulate her saying “oh she’s being reasonable” jfc

I really miss our annual Mike Flanagan horror TV series.

This feels a little too on the nose, frankly

I can't really explain fully why this is the thing of all things that got my jaw on the floor but I guess it's such a literal symbol and also such a jaw dropping amount of money while small businesses are struggling to survive the tariffs

Such a visible "go fuck yourself"

it's just so effective at establishing characters/stakes. 33 (also perfect) is the show's first episode but the miniseries is the pilot, and it's one of the best I've ever seen

(yes Charlie Baker is now an anti-trans NCAA mouthpiece but the point is you CAN and SHOULD bully politicians into representing what the majority of their constituents want! do not voluntarily cede ground to losers and weirdos!)
