i am trying not to joke about the Epstein stuff because it's so horrible but there's also this ridiculous element where it's like... discovering Dracula is real, he's taken over human society at the highest levels, he's involved in tons of evil and also he's a huge dipshit

a thing that I'm not sure how much it's permeated the broader consciousness, either in MN or nationwide, is just how profoundly popular resisting ICE is vs how unpopular ICE is.

She got booed in EAGAN? That is COOKED my fiend. That is Starbucks Quality Control rejected this roast for being too dark level cooked.

people in minnesota are fired up against ICE, and we have no appetite for a politician like craig who voted for the laken riley act and a resolution in support of ICE
this campaign is going nowhere

When Tom Homan starts talking about “rotating people out”
remember folks: every conflict is ultimately a conflict of morale.
britain could have thrown more troops at revolutionary america, they were just too tired to go on.
make them tired. make them weary. throw sand in the gears.
I do not regret to tell you that we are going to win.

Axios had a story today about how hard Minnesota’s economy is being hit and how slow the recovery could be. So, I’m going to take this opportunity to say that if you want to support the Twin Cities, you should plan a visit for this summer, spend some money here, & see how amazing it is for yourself.

q for my local politics process nerds:
If Klobuchar (2 years into her current senate term) wins the governor's office then I know that it's the governor who picks someone to take a retiring senator's seat.
Does that mean that Klobuchar would pick her own successor or would Walz?

talking about whistles as something that can trigger panic responses during an ICE occupation is a little bit like talking about how excess moisture can weaken a house's foundational structure while the house is on fire
Ugh. The main anti-ICE group in Washington which has 44k followers on Facebook and has been going around to communities promoting classes is now promoting this anti-whistle nonsense for "harm reduction" reasons as well.

I would very much like to thank ChatGPT for my job security, as people ask it questions; it gives them lies; they fuck up their coffee systems, and then need to ask an actual expert to figure out why their coffee is so fucked up.

beans for breakfast and carb sandwiches - two things that when the English do it they're perverts but when Mexicans do it it's poetry.
This is a glutton’s delight, easily two meals for a modest eater, available for less than the price of a large chips and guac at Chipotle.

My fear now is that people will get bored of the news story of what’s happening in Minnesota. It’s a very active situation. Remember 5yo Liam Ramos? More kids have been taken from his school and last I heard he’s still in Texas. If there’s been a drawdown, no one I know has noticed it.

What is happening in Minneapolis stands in contrast to the idea of Trumpism’s irresistible power.
It should be a reminder: Being lawless, immoral, and violent does not make the Trumpists omnipotent. Obscuring that distinction is an act of defeatism that only serves the regime.

really excellent framing.
"this can't be liberal, they're not reacting to mercantilist trade policies at all!"
"this can't be liberal, they're not reacting to mercantilist trade policies at all!"
Since we're doing the "fascism" debate again, I have to confess I find it baffling how the "not fascist" argue it can only apply to the specific situations of one historical time period, which is not a standard they would ever apply to any other political label ("socialist," "liberal," whatever.)
