Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

“Danielle Smith is part of a U.S. group whose leader, Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry, has been tasked by the Donald Trump administration with helping to annex Greenland.”

Anyone think Smith would condemn Trump annexing Greenland?

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.

"In Nazi Germany, concept of "homeland" was twisted into a racialized tool, primarily using Heimat to promote nationalism, racial purity, and expansion through ideas like Lebensraum (living space) and Heim ins Reich (Home into the Reich), shifting focus to racial destiny and territorial domination."

Several Canadian news orgs have already left X, but I believe @pressprogress.ca may be the first to adopt a policy setting standards around use of digital platforms

We think it's time news orgs stop prioritizing clicks and start requiring higher standards from these platforms
We’ve adopted a new policy clarifying how we’ll be using digital platforms to share our journalism

Going forward, we will expect any platforms we use to demonstrate basic commitments to user safety, information integrity and democratic values

Folks in the US still like to treat the whole Greenland invasion stuff as sufficiently unserious to engage with, but it is sufficiently serious that NATO allies are actively deploying tripwire forces to deter the US. That is *already* a political and actual cost to them, and to US relationships

In case anybody on Capitol Hill is wondering, the mood right now out here in the hinterlands is for Democrats not to miss votes.

Especially since so many Republicans are out that Dems could pretty much stop anything with full attendance.

We are paying attention.

Our politicians were able to get off TikTok -- so why not from Twitter?

The platform is letting its users create non-consensual sexual deepfakes of women and kids. That can't be the price of public participation in our digital down square.

Our government MUST act.

@mark-carney.bsky.social BAN TWITTER/X in Canada. At the very least ban it for Gov members. It's immoral at this point for them to be on there and it raises ethics questions.

It's incredibly disturbing that the Trump administration (1) is not investigating the ICE shooter; (2) has refused to cooperate with any state-led investigation of the ICE shooter; but (3) aims to go hard after Renee Good's widow.
Last week, I looked into the record of the federal prosecutor in Minnesota who was leading the work on the Somali daycare fraud case.

He struck me as a straight shooter, not a partisan hack.

Well here's confirmation: He has quit after DOJ pressure to investigate Renee Good's widow. (#giftlink 🎁)

It takes a special kind of “wait, what?” to actually reduce the number of available beds during a healthcare crisis.

But nonetheless, here we are.

Washington politicians love to talk about what a good idea it is to ban stock trading in Congress, but then keep doing it.

Here's my message to them: You don’t need to wait for it to be banned. Stop trading right now.

I don’t trade stocks because it’s the right thing to do.
