Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.”

The Times went to non urban Minnesota to ask people why they dislike urban Minneapolis. If someone were to ask me to teach a journalism school course on helicopter reporting, this story - so cliche it’s almost hard to believe they really did this - would immediately go on the syllabus.
NYTimes has truly outdone itself with this latest in its "ask white guys in diner" genre. Thank goodness we get a perspective on what's happening in Minneapolis from people in **Nisswa** who probably mean Brainerd when they say they "prefer not to go the city anymore" www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/u...

i think this gets at something important which is that normal people are rightly pissed off that they’re having normal time stolen from them by this ravaging horde of jumped up mall cops. everybody has to work in the morning! why is it THEIR job to hold their community together in such a basic way!
🔥 From @statuscoupnews.bsky.social : “This is nuts. What the fuck is going on? I’ve never protested in my life… they tell you it’s immigrants — it’s fucking anybody. They’re just trying to scare people. I’m not paid to be here. I have to work in the morning. This is wrong.”

A sitting U.S. Senator just suggested that dropping a baseless criminal investigation could be exchanged for the resignation of the Fed Chair. The independence of the Federal Reserve exists precisely to prevent political intimidation like this. #holdfast

The notion that it’s “liberal orthodoxy” to shun a serial sexual harasser is, frankly, Trumpian.
To those of you who are pointing out policy failures of Cuomo, thanks. To those of you just attacking me for challenging the liberal orthodoxy remember this: while you’re shutting down dissent, the other side is shutting down democracy. Get with the program.

The last time we lost a child to measles in this country was 2003. My heart goes out to all the families affected by the ongoing outbreak.

Using the bully pulpit doesn’t actually mean being a bully.
This is a totally unreasonable way to conduct diplomacy, and a disgraceful way to treat an ally. We should all be standing with Ukraine as they continue their fight on the front line of democracy.
