Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

If this reminds you of an extremely famous book you might have read in high school… yes.

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

At least we are in a city where the buses run on a regular schedule. Hope the destination address can wait for you.

The complexity of the planning that went into the Trumpist attack on DC in January 2021 goes beyond what most realize. That day was not what many think. It was the first battle in a far-right insurrection that is still ongoing. They are refining their tactics. They intend to end our democracy. Soon.

I wrote a book about January 6, 2021.

Want to know when the Trump administration began its systematized lying about antifa and the FBI being behind MAGAs' attack on the Capitol?

January 6, 2021.

Rudy Giuliani had a suite at the Willard Hotel that was the command center for broadcasting that lie.

Your state could be impacted by a Supreme Court ruling that could lock in GOP control for over a generation, and in some states, eliminate majority-Black districts entirely.

It was great to be a part of last week’s Mayoral Slate for Change fundraiser with @dewayneforminneapolis.com and @jazzformayor.bsky.social! It’s clear from this event that Minneapolis is ready for new leadership in City Hall, so make sure to rank the whole slate in November and put Omar at #1!

I’m super grateful to live in a city with safe enough bike infrastructure that I can choose to bike my kid the 2 miles to a friends’ birthday party vs having to drive.

Christin is a parent, renter, and resident of Ward 9. Watch her share her thoughts about Omar's compassionate and data driven approach to homelessness and how we need his leadership at City Hall. Join her in ranking Omar as her 1st choice this November.

Here I thought *my* cargo bike took up a lot of space.

I didn’t realize they made bikes this big!
