i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

Want to see how far right the Republican Party has gone?

Watch George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan answer a question about illegal immigration during a 1980 debate.

They wouldn’t even be allowed in today’s Republican Party.

Gee nothing in sports history could have prepared us for gambling having a corrupting influence…

Meantime it’s bound to be entirely benign as far as betting on elections goes…

The stunning indictment that led to the arrest of more than 30 people, including Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier and other NBA figures, on charges of illegal sports betting has drawn new scrutiny of the booming business of professional sports gambling across the U.S.

Sports betting is a booming business. The FBI's NBA probe is putting it in the spotlight

Minneapolis needs a mayor capable of developing strong working relationships with other elected officials serving the city. Especially in these uncertain times. After 8 years in office, Jacob Frey has no endorsements from the Mpls legislative delegation or county commissioners serving the city.

I’m old enough to remember when they arrested former heads of state for crimes against humanity for engaging in extrajudicial murders in the name of a hyped up “war on drugs.”
Way back in… March.

(Also at the time, the NYT didn’t seem to have any trouble reporting those killings as homicides.)

This is something to send to anyone on the fence or in any way part of the “he isn’t that bad” camp. Fernando has clearly *had it*.

Today I write with a heavy heart because I have arrived at the conclusion that City of Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey lacks the intrinsic leadership, effective due diligence, and moral resolve to pursue community safety for all Minneapolis residents - especially as it relates to domestic, intimate partner, and gun violence.
I arrive at this conclusion because on October
22, I had a deeply troubling and unproductive meeting with Mayor Frey and City of Minneapolis executive leaders. Later that evening, my worst fears were validated: City of Minneapolis Auditor reported that MPD has not cooperated and has delayed the long overdue After-Action reports for two murders last year.

It's going to take all of us working together to protect our immigrant neighbors. I'm so proud of everyone who showed up to protest today – you deserve leadership that will stand up and fight back against Trump's illiberal and autocratic actions.

Please stop calling them “migrant detention centers”
These are concentration camps.

CNN @cnn.com · 2d

The Department of Homeland Security is funneling $10 billion through the Navy to help facilitate the construction of a sprawling network of migrant detention centers across the US in an arrangement aimed at getting the centers built faster. https://cnn.it/4oDFP9W

It’s been said that everyone should work a service job for a year after high school, and I think that’s true but I think it should be a five-year plan including…

- living in another country for a year
- caring for the elderly for a year
- teaching for a year
- surviving as an artist for a year

Wait

Who was president when the Russia investigation took place? Who was president when charges were brought against Trump? No matter. Whoever was president had absolute immunity and could investigate and prosecute whomever he liked.
Done deal. So you can’t sue now, you c*nt.
