What have Somali people done? JD Powers ranked MSP best airport in US 2024. Can’t do that without the Somali immigrant community.
Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

If you've made it to the end of this thread, my only request is that you share it with others. So many people suffered because of this denialism, and it frankly burns me up that this dark legacy has been made to disappear without a fuss.

Would love to know what Sheryl Sandberg thinks.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

Raise your hand if you have ever converted to your boss’s religion while married to a person not of that faith?

The “capitulation“ from media, academia, tech is because they don’t see the loss of democracy as a problem, they recognize it is a solution. Only some of us will make it through the climate crisis. When population reduction is the goal, there is no need for gov’t of, by, and for the people.
the Master Plan.

shut down government

refuse public services. the weak die off

start a civil or world war

reduce the population

She’s got a point. Can’t remember the last time I went to a ball.
GOV. WHITMER: “.. no one is worried about building a ballroom in Washington, D.C. What they want is to make sure that they can feed their kids next week.” Most Americans are “never going to step foot in a ballroom over the course of their lifetime.”

Mike Osterholm-led Vaccine Integrity Project makes its YouTube debut Tuesday, reviewing the science behind COVID, flu and RSV immunizations. This is a worthy counter to RFK Jr’s fool’s “gold standard” of science. www.startribune.com/robert-f-ken...

Please let this be the beginning of more reporting on his deficits.
The unabomber story is a good one, it’s undeniable that Trump is imagining things that aren’t real.

Not only does he not understand who pays tariffs, clearly no one around him knows how to do a mail merge. It is taking three days to send the letters. Government efficiency, indeed.

These comments are wild. Obsolete doesn’t mean YOU will stop reading.
People have a failure of imagination when it comes to the potential transformative power of AI.
Will reading become obsolete? How A.I. could transform our relationship to the written word.
What’s Happening to Reading?
For many people, A.I. may be bringing the age of traditional text to an end.

I was a freshman XC runner boarding flight with the team back to college town. I spotted Renee Richards who played tennis at our campus. She had recently transitioned, and I got her autograph. She was a trans trailblazer back in 1979 and I admired her bravery.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.”

They want to keep the system of a second class of non-voting, low wage laborers.
Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.

As the Streisand Effect teaches, I am obligated to repost the post that led to ABC News' dismissal of Terry Moran:

"Trump is a world-class hater. But his hatred is only a means to an end, and that end is his own glorification. That's his spiritual nourishment."

The CIDRAP podcast is vital right now.
We must respond to the systematic dismantling of public health. Our lives depend on it.
New "Osterholm Update" podcast episode! @mtosterholm & @cvdall discuss the latest federal actions on vaccine policy, report on a new COVID variant sweeping Asia, and give an update on North American measles cases
