In other news, the whole thing about Calibri v. TNR isn't about a font face, it's about the fact that Calibri is easier for people with some disabilities to read.

ICE is kidnapping and locking up little kids, denying them medical care, and feeding them contaminated food.
They aren’t going after criminals, they are going after Black and brown people, because this isn’t about immigration, it’s about white supremacy.

Rep. Thanedar has filed two articles of impeachment against Hegseth, one for "murder and conspiracy to murder" and the other for "reckless and unlawful mishandling of classified information." 🧵

o’hara and frey are all fucking talk and no action
I saw an ICE raid today in Cedar-Riverside. The man they took said repeatedly he was a U.S. Citizen and had ID. They put him in a car they sped off at an unsafe speed. Not that I expected much, but I called 911 and reported their behavior. The dispatcher asked "what I wanted them to do about it."

Just witnessed an ICE raid in Minneapolis. 2 people kidnapped. 2 near pedestrian hit and runs by reckless ICE drivers at the corner of Cedar Ave & Riverside.
Outraged and Ashamed - at my country's lack of leadership.
Grateful that no local law personnel contributed to those crimes.

MPD doesn't need another $38 million for yet another new building. Plowing sidewalks and traffic calming much better use of this money and will actually keep people safe.
🏆 Council Member Robin Wonsley has earned the Transportation Budget MVP award for amendments funding sidewalk snow clearance pilots, $2.3m for ADA ramp construction, $2.5m for traffic safety improvements, & $700k for protected bikeways.

The board recently said allegations against leadership or the board were without merit—but announced that national would hire a GA state director 👀

Given their vulnerability to falls, you’d think the city’s senior residents would enthusiastically support municipal sidewalk plowing (but my conversations with legacy members of the DFL Senior Caucus prove otherwise)
I appreciate the councilmembers who are promoting walkability for all

On Friday, City Council voted to undo Mayor Frey’s cuts to our sidewalk plowing pilots because the return of winter shouldn’t mean risking slips and falls on icy sidewalks every time it snows. Safely getting around our city should be a basic function of our government.

The issue with Neoliberalism isn't that it doesn't work, it's that it only works once. You can sell the family silver once, you can strip the copper out of the walls once, you can burn the furniture to keep warm once. But then you have to come up with something else!

Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released.
“And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”
