If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

JOBS REPORT:
We now have a full year of jobs data for Trump's second term and can compare it to the final year of jobs data under Biden, after the benchmark revision.
Bottom Line: Dramatic slowdown in job creation under Trump

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

MAGA has been trying to meme its way to consolidated authoritarianism, relying on images, bluster, and voluntary compliance to make up for the Trump regime’s insufficient capacity.
They’re not done, things will probably get worse, but one of MAGA’s main tools just faltered. Yeah, that matters.

it is both true that firing bovino doesn’t change a whole lot in terms of policy and also true that they have put a lot of money, time and effort into trying to make him the “never back down, fuck you, we own this place” face of the operation, and unceremoniously kicking him to the curb is a retreat

“do everything we ask, go above and beyond, become our public face, and we will demote you and force you into retirement” is a message i hope all CBP employees hear loud and clear

Alex Pretti was already restrained when federal agents shot and killed him in Minneapolis, a New York Times analysis of video shows. The footage contradicts the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the shooting.
Timeline: How the Shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti Unfolded
A moment-by-moment analysis of video from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when fatal shots were fired, which appears to contradict the federal government’s account of the event.

JOB MARKET HURTING UNDER TRUMP
Today's private-sector jobs report from ADP is the latest evidence of a major Trump slowdown in job growth.
We can now compare the first 8 months of Trump with the final 8 months of Biden, and private-sector job growth is down 72% under Trump.

My main point is social media algorithms do not have your best interests in mind.
They do not want you to be informed. They want you to be provoked

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.
