What’s Dan hiding
Received just now:

"It appears that fulfilling this request would only benefit you, not the wider public. Claiming that Dan Ryan has been using his personal cell phone "to avoid scrutiny and likely skirt the City's lobbying laws" appears to be your own opinion and not that of the wider public."

It’s so funny how we all knew this was going to happen and then it happened. Twitter, once a great way to organize solidarity work, Elon bought and destroyed it. Meta algo is exclusively for right wing agit prop or timesucks yet it was once a great left organizer hub. CBS! WaPo! Capital hates truth.
After the Trump engineered transfer of TikTok to regime loyalists, TikTok suddenly doesn't want material to be posted which is critical of the regime. What a shock.
This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.

Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.

Well, here’s a link:

Absolutely reprehensible that AG Bondi is offering ICE stand down in exchange for access to voting rolls. Outrageous and disgusting. It shows ICE is in Minneapolis is not for law enforcement purposes. Instead it’s a way to stir up shit in blue states and extort them.
In the wake of another fatal shooting in Minneapolis.
AG Pam Bondi sends Gov. Walz a letter today making several asks including:
"Allow DOJ Civil Rights division access to state voter rolls"

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street
Minneapolis police chief Brian O'Hara says that the victim was a 37-year-old white man and US citizen with no criminal record and that he was a legally permitted gun owner.

The rhetorical value of referring to city council’s “moderates” (lol) as “conservatives” when their actions are by most measures conservative is that it forces them to respond by either:

a) unmasking it and owning it and becoming easier to oppose

b) adjusting their behavior to beat the charge
Really disheartened by @councilorzimmerman.bsky.social introducing a proposal to pivot the original intent of @counciloravalos.bsky.social @councilordunphy.bsky.social and Councilor Smith’’s “Slow the Inflow” resolution in the City of Portland Finance Committee.

important from Councilor Morillo. Media lost interest in CPB shooting two people in Portland after learning they may have a criminal record.

If a record means the feds can shoot you without recourse, we are lost. Due process is for all of us or for none of us.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Fran becomes the first Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate to call for basic safeguards against corporate AI data centers.

This is leadership.
AI data centers are a bad deal.

I'm calling for a moratorium until we know how to protect ourselves from enviro. & energy costs.

Any new data center must follow 3 rules:

1. No tax exemptions.
2. They fund new renewable energy.
3. That energy is publicly owned.
