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.

I should have realized that when I looked up showtimes for the new Sam Raimi film that googling “send help Minneapolis” may not be the string I wanted.

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.)

Netflix mandates that their original content needs to reiterate what it's about every so often because people have stuff on in the background while they're on their phones. This is why in Jay Kelly (2025) Jay Kelly says "Jay Kelly" over and over into a mirror for like 2 minutes straight.

I was at the same ICE interaction on Park Ave where Pretti kicked an ICE car. I didn't kick a car but I did call several ICE officers "pathetic little pig men who no one respects". Do I deserve to be gunned down in the street for that? Just curious.

please remember that no matter how many “ICE is losing in MN” articles you read today, there is still a very real, urgent, ongoing crisis in Minnesota.
