Okay now that the flood of new followers is cooling down somewhat, wanted to take time to properly introduce myself!

How much more in your face can it be?

"Because of your accent."

Minneapolis Public Schools will be closed tomorrow and Friday. 30,000 kids will have to miss two days of school because the federal government has made it too dangerous.

A mom was murdered today for having the gaul to look out for her neighbors, and to care about the safety of her community in the face of armed, masked goons.

If this doesn't move you—if this doesn't radicalize you—you are missing something fundamental in your soul, and need to go find it.

LITERAL NAZIS walking our streets right now. Their vacations to the Great North paid for with your tax dollars. In case anyone had any question as to what’s happening in MPLS.
An off-duty ICE agent was just confronted in Minneapolis after people noticed a Nazi SS lightning bolt tattoo on his neck.

If you’re proud enough to ink it on your neck, why are you running when people notice?

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.

I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

Anyway, in 2026 you should cancel your newspaper subscriptions — including to their games and recipes — and funnel that money toward independent journalists who don’t hate you and think you’re stupid.

Remember:

When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them.

When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips.

ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.
i don’t see how any of the benefits of chatgpt and other consumer-facing LLMs can possibly outweigh their incredible ability to induce suicides
Adam Raine’s life hurtled toward tragedy soon after he began talking with ChatGPT about homework. Analysis of his ChatGPT account shows how the chatbot became a confidant as he planned to end his life.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

When a fed agent says "we need help" in calling MPD, and MPD shows up, that's MPD helping.

The whole point is that these abductions are illegitimate. They are the opposite of public safety. An "aid an officer" call from one of these abductions should not be treated as legitimate by local gov.
Here's the video we put together about Monday's standoff with ICE agents in South Minneapolis (29th and Pillsbury). More details at MPRNews.org: youtube.com/shorts/ZgQpV...

Disheartening to see federal agents take two neighbors on 29th & Pillsbury. Chemical irritants were used on observers by them.

MPD showed up on scene, created a pathway for these federal agents to kidnap our neighbors, and assisted with controlling the space. Disappointing and heartbreaking.

Hit me up for more tips on keeping your sidewalks ice-free 🔥🧊
Physical removal of snow is your best defense for keeping sidewalks ice-free. Use salt sparingly — more salt does not make it work better or faster. In extreme cold, use sand for traction since salt only works when pavement is warmer than 15°F. More tips: https://bit.ly/450rmgD
