Because we know we are stronger together, we’ll be back next week pre-gaming before #NoKings.

Join us or one of the many weekly protests across the Twin Cities.

And my favorite sign of the week re the Bondi spectacle but also appropriate for the miscarriage of justice out of the Eastern District of VA.

But most energy and creativity was directed at Trump’s chaos, incoherence, and cruelty.

The Trump deportation operation is violent, immoral, and out of control.

We still think Musk sucks and want to return American oligarchs to just regular billionaire obscenity.

Today’s #TeslaTakedown Golden Valley, MN week 37 was a gorgeous Fall day. The guest DJ was rockin’ and the drivers were honkin’.

Troothy and The Ear of Resistance had important messages.

Breaking the law so he can endanger the nation, Russ Vought arches an eyebrow as he strokes a white Persian cat on his lap.

A reminder that on top of EVERYTHING ELSE the Mango Mussolini is destroying, he’s also putting everyone’s life at risk via his anti-science and anti-public health agenda. Doesn’t matter if you’re on the left or right, he couldn’t care less for any of you.

BREAKING: A Friday night massacre is reportedly underway at the CDC. Dozens of “disease detectives,” senior scientists, the entire Washington staff, and editors of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) have been RIFed and issued termination notices.

The IRS is laying off people during the shutdown, even though it was rehiring staff it previously fired because it was so shorthanded.
This one stands out because firing IRS employees costs the government money, since they bring in about $6-8 for every dollar spent on tax enforcement

IRS Halts Layoff Plans, Begins Rehiring Amid Staffing Shortages
The agency is attempting to rebuild its workforce and restore public confidence.

Treasury Department: Treasury cut 1,446 employees on Friday. Two Internal Revenue Service employees confirmed layoffs were taking place at the tax agency, which has already shed more than 25,000 employees. One employee who was laid off was working Friday and exempt from shutdown furloughs.

Good piece: DOGE was the battering ram, but Russ Vought was the one enabling it, and then hiding it's impacts.

During the months when DOGE was most aggressively canceling contracts, O.M.B. was concealing how it was moving money through to agencies. Mr. Vought removed a legally required public database tracking those records. When a court forced the administration to restore it in August, the spending logs showed O.M.B. exerting unusual control over agency spending, using other documents the public can’t see.

Under a 1974 law, it’s illegal for the administration to “impound” or block money appropriated by Congress (to not spend the funds on those credit cards). But Mr. Vought has made clear he believes that law is unconstitutional and wants to test it in court.

The sickness of this regime accusing anyone of antisemitism while shoveling billions to ELON MUSK, the greatest popularizer of Nazism since Hitler, is a failure of sense, dignity and everything that should make us human.

X is doing nothing about antisemitic abuse & hatred in the last week. (It is a breach of its legal duties to fail to offer an equal service to those with a protected characteristic, if the regulators want to do their job of keeping it within the law)

More judges speak to the press (the NYT) about what a disaster the Supreme Court (specifically the shadow docket) has been - “incredibly demoralizing & troubling”; a “judicial crisis”; a “slap in the face to district courts.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

It’s considered impolite to use language like this, but “evil” is the best word for what these folks are doing. It’s bad enough to screw over workers to attack political enemies. But here, doing so will literally kill people and lead to avoidable disease.

The Trump administration has been spreading anti-vaccine propaganda for months. Tonight, Trump's physician announced he just received a flu shot and a COVID booster.

If they kill this program, it’s a punch to the gut. I use my library’s digital tools regularly, and for many people, it’s their only access to books, research, and connection. This is severing a lifeline. But hey, who needs access to knowledge when you’ve got chaos?
