Arienne Chidlrey failed in 2023 to unseat a Republican incumbent in rural Ohio. But that's not stopping her in 2026.

What has been done to UK is another #Propaganda campaign orchestrated by Russia. It is evil.
If an election were held in the U.K. tomorrow, hard-core climate denier Nigel Farage’s Reform UK would likely win.

This outcome — almost unimaginable a few years ago — can trace its roots back to another once-fringe movement based in Alberta. Mitchell Anderson writes. #abpoli

Nonconsensual deepfake pornography has become ubiquitous across the internet, mostly targeting women and girls.

And yet, despite the scale of the problem, policymakers have been slow to respond, @hilarymatfess.bsky.social writes.

They crush the local economy, deplete city budgets, illegally withhold congressionally allocated funds. In exchange we get masked Texans running wild in the streets, paid for with tax money that was supposed to be used on our healthcare. Thank you to our federal partners.

Hey remember when Alito openly mocked Scalia’s originalism from the bench because it was going in a different direction than Alito wanted?

Anyway, the book release is timed for a day after this coming First Monday in October. Read into that what you will.

And then there was the time Alito defected to the liberals rather than side with Scalia’s originalist 4th Amendment application to modern technology.

Somewhat baffling Supreme Court ruling today, which seems to hold that statute banning computer programs from being patented doesn't apply if the computer programs require hardware to run. Which is… all computer programs? supremecourt.uk/uploads/uksc...

Source tells me roughly 30 passengers on their flight from Minneapolis to Dallas this morning appeared to be federal agents of some kind, with each stopping to introduce themselves to crew and pilot while boarding.

You can’t convince me MPD isn’t defrauding Minneapolis, and if this observation apparatus proves me wrong about that at least it will keep community practiced and connected until the next Fed operation.

We have raised over $100,000 for Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota via a huge bundle of games on sale, including many games made in Minnesota — like mine!

Enormous thanks to all contributors, Duncan for the trailer, and of course @jesthehuman.itch.io for getting this going.
That was quick!

Legitimately excited to see the slate of bills around ICE that are gonna get proposed
ICE has been active this morning staging in St Anthony so we still need people out patrolling our neighborhoods.

I’m headed to the Capitol today ahead of session starting next week to work on the 70 bills we have around ICE.

Good morning my beloved city. Here's a poem Boogey wrote for us.
Hey Minnesota.

I know things are dark right now. But May Day will come again.

Peak fall in Duluth will come again.

Walleye season and canoe season will come again.

The Fair and People’s Pride will come again

And they will be all the brighter.

No one let go of anyone’s hand.

actually, been in MN since it’s my home doing mutual aid work and organizing the neighborhood. but go off, dipshit.
How about you? Navel gazing poetry about what you’ve got?

If I WERE in MN, you’d expect me to post about it here?

Your bio says you’re a fitness coach. Your banner mocks 2A rights activists. Seems like it’s likely just poetry.

The thing about ebooks as a substitute is that it ignores two major needs of teen readers: autonomy (the ability to get a book without going through parents) and community (the ability to pass a book around to all their friends.)
I've said this before but I truly believe we could revitalize YA and kidlit overnight by switching to MMPB and paperback first. Kids want paperbacks! It is by far the biggest request I get from teen readers.
hello this is the official petition to bring back mass market paperbacks!! mmpbs are good actually and everyone should do them!! i think esp romantasy readers would really love that shit! and you can still spray those edges!!! bring back mass market paperbacks thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So folks,

Who's picking up the baton?

We are rightly very proud of the folks who have been pushing their asses off.

If you're reading this and you're looking for something to do, please please please speak up so that the folks who are running themselves ragged can tag out.
I’m seeing more and more Minneapolis/Minnesota people naming that they are burned out and I just hope people allow themselves to change their pacing from sprint to marathon or better yet, a relay.

Slow down if the alternative is you crashing out and not being able to do anything.

When I visited Pittsburgh I heard an anecdote from a long time resident. Back in the day, business executives in town always kept extra white dress shirts at the office because when they left the office for lunch they would always return with soot stained collars.
Burgum: "CO2 was never a pollutant. When we breathe, we emit CO2. Plants need CO2 to survive and grow. They thrive with more CO2. So the whole endangerment thing opens up an opportunity for the revival of clean, beautiful, American coal."
