It took me 5m to call 2 senators & leave a voicemail saying they should oppose any bill that would appropriate money for the extrajudicial killing of Americans

(this appropriations bill is like a week away fyi)

In all seriousness, sheriffs in dem states should consider deputizing, training, and arming people now to increase their numbers and make sure that local laws (like murder) are enforced. The fact that federal agents outnumber local police allows them to intimidate them, making obstruction easier.
The StarTribune live blog is paywall free:
- The man shot by federal agents this morning has died
- Several witnesses have already been transported to the Whipple building.
- ICE attempted to order local police from the scene, but O’Hara refused, sources said.

Christ the video of that killing is horrifying. But what happens in it is also far worse than calling it a shooting gets across. It is an execution. There’s a single unjustifiable shot and then a decision to just fire several more rounds into a prone victim.

Good recap about the Pauls' sophistry, but fails to mention the most important part: Soglin revealed that he spends his time getting mad at Reddit comments
I wrote for @tonemadison.bsky.social about the myth that the “far left” dominates Madison’s local politics and crushes debate, and why this lie is so pernicious in this moment
The Madison "uniparty" is not oppressing you, because it's not real
Local debates aren't what they should be, but they're not being crushed by the far left.

They are targeting children because they are trying incite violence. I have talked to many journalists today, and they all made the same observation: Border Patrol and ICE have been rolling around with maximum aggression, lingering for ages as crowds, gather, seemingly trying to cause a riot.
This picture making the rounds on reddit, Columbia Heights. I'm not OK.

30 minutes into Shorewood Hills Board meeting: one trustee (Falk) has already said he isn't running again because the public is uncivil and focused on conspiracy theories; a very white public speaker invoked MLK in her quest to prevent someone from building a single-family home on an empty lot.

@cayimby.bsky.social What came out of CA's Single-Exit Stair Work Group? I saw that they had to submit findings by Jan 1. WI is considering a similar bill (creating a cmtee) and I want to encourage the legislature to instead just make the change rather than spending years studying it.

Madison Plan Commission started tonight with approval of shorter (5ft) rear setbacks for properties mixed-use, employment, and downtown zoning districts near the capital city trail. Staff hopes this allows for more activation of trail space.

Oh no I'm late for Madison Plan Commission. But yes lots of discussion of TREES tonight. A proposed ordinance will extend the "tree protection zone" from 5 ft to 1 ft/inch trunk diameter. Also 73 unit apartment approved at 121 N Butler on the consent agenda.

A monadnock is just a monoidnock in the category of endofunctors.
