We’re not dealing with brilliant strategists cleverly laying traps, we’re dealing with impulsive whiners whose advantage is contempt for laws, norms, and morality.

They’re not pulling some elaborate trick, they’re just willing—even eager—to do things regular, principled people consider off limits.

if you work for a publication that does this and have any idea how much $$$ your outlet makes from affiliate sale commissions on prime day, DM or signal me: jason.404

also interested if you are a journalist who is asked to do these deal roundups as part of your job

We need MORE reporters like Taylor!

The golden age of investigative journalism came as the media moguls who created "yellow journalism" ruled the ecosystem

It was muckrakers who helped end the Gilded Age & institute food safety, report & track lynchings media ignored, abolish child labor & more!

New/old — and extremely clumsy — landlord PAC just dropped. (Intentionally dropped late in the cycle.) Taylor continues to outpace local political media on the money stuff — read her 🧵

They will always *always* crush regular people if it means corporate office executives feel "safe" from the rabble

Cop injuries arent listed, making me assume they are boo-boos at the worst

the most repulsive bullshit of all is Mayor Wu using the same tired "outside agitators" line

No one arrested is over 30, most are 19-23. They spent HS in lockdown then watched a genocide. Wu just throwing them under the bus

the age of societal domination by mediocre white men was drawing to a close. nature was healing. and thus the most mediocre of all staged a hostile takeover of our government by economic force so that they could institute counterrevolution and maintain their control in perpetuity.

I keep harping on this point bc either 1) this system has been designed to produce fascist outcomes when the interests of the propertied & powerful are threatened or 2) it has been designed with such incompetence that it has consistently produced those outcomes accidentally.

very cool that if you are working on behalf of right-wing culture warriors, you no longer need standing to have your claim adjudicated by the supreme court

After Reconstruction, the media refused to believe that white supremacists were massacring entire towns of Black people attempting to claim local sovereignty over their own lives. It is not true that violence, even when it's "plain as day," necessarily moves public opinion.

What’s truly insane here:

I gave the FBI some of these images in 2020 when they were investigating a Terrorgram-related hit put out on me, and I had to explain what all this shit meant.

5 years later, and DHS is spreading that same goddamn fascist propaganda.

We need more solariums yall

love that we had a whole national reckoning over the media's coverage of Biden's advanced age and none of the scolds who High Horsed us can be bothered to spend even a minute reflecting on the fact that Trump has basically become Mr. Burns in the "Spruce Moose" episode of THE SIMPSONS

It took three days of the Minneapolis Police Department doing this shit to crowds & families for the people of Minneapolis to burn their stupid fort to the ground

Because the people knew it was repulsive and evil, and it was clear the chain of command was going to let it continue unabated

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

The amount of hate and death threats @omarfatehmn.com keeps receiving is disheartening and despicable.

Thank you @elliottpayne.org and @doronclark.bsky.social for showing our neighbors that this hate has no place in Minneapolis.

It's weird for a candidate to say they want to challenge the mayor when they are also chiding the incumbent council member for.... challenging the mayor

"not running in alignment with the mayor" is a big old lie. Millard's current campaign manager's previous role: strategist for one of several Frey-aligned PACs, where he worked alongside Frey's former campaign manager.

This is not okay. Everyone should be standing against the intense islamophobia and anti Somali hate we are seeing in our city. Please speak out and stand against the fomenting of hate. Thanks CP & Senator for taking action.

Other Madore accomplishments:
- Voting with Rs against some of the biggest healthcare bills: major reform, omnibus spending, patient data protection
- Supporting an amendment to require photo ID when voting
- Leaning on 2 years as a suburban state rep 18 years ago as her main qualification

It's funny because Millard is backed to the hilt by the exact people who have cherry picked these committees for decades

Chughtai hit Millard with the data center hammer: My opponent has publicly supported building a data center here in Ward 10. Poison our water, overburden our electric grid, devastate economy.

Lydia is completely zoned out, lol
