Don’t fuck with Minneapolis ™️
Hennepin County dispatch got a panicked call from a Department of Homeland Security supervisor in Minneapolis requesting assistance because “we only have a few officers but we have 60-70 agitators fighting them.” Hennepin deputies didn’t witness any attacks on agents.

Whoever can create free, limitless electricity wins capitalism. The U.S. has chosen to go all-in on something that, instead, *consumes* vast quantities of electricity, while giving up on power generation.
A fun question. In 5 years time, what looks better? The US’s enormous bet & capex on AI? Or China’s equally enormous bet and capex on renewables?
China has made cheap, clean energy available in huge quantities. The world should take the win econ.st/4oqFszB

Lots of people know someone who's down on his luck, dope, whatever, and he has to go home. The family takes him in, and they stick with it, even when it tears them up. You should never dance on people's graves but in a situation that's close to the bone it has political consequences.

Replace Sandy Hook or Parkland or Assumption with “the school” in this sentence just in case your brain has been numbed by this cretin.
Q: Has Kash Patel told you why it's been so difficult for the FBI to identify who the shooter is?

TRUMP: It's always difficult. So far we're done a very good job of it with Charlie, with the various times this has happened. You'll have to ask the school about that.

His name is Ahmed al Ahmed. He’s 42, father of two, and owns a Sydney fruit shop. His relatives say he had no experience handling guns. He was shot twice, not in this video, but is expected to survive.

The anti-Semitic mass shooting in Australia will cause a national conversation and policy change. We know this because the 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to significant restrictions on guns.
The shooting at Brown will do nothing. We know this because it occurred on the anniversary of Sandy Hook.

antisemitism is a canary in the coal mine. if it’s rising it means your society is failing. i haven’t had my coffee yet but im pretty sure i mostly actually do believe this.
I don’t think there’s even a straightforward set of policy prescriptions for antisemitism because its both concurrent with and downstream of like 15 other massive societal problems we’re doing hardly anything to solve

The busiest bus line in the most populous county in Minnesota is the D Line.

These photos were taken within a block of it on either side. Even if sidewalk clearing occurred, parking clearing took precedent.

Municipal sidewalk clearing is a moral obligation. Frey opposes it, Schaffer opposes it.

Are you okay spelling words out
R U ok with paying 8 to 12 pct more in taxes and possibly losing your standard deduction ?

R U ok with losing access to different curative medications and care because the government can't afford to pay for them, even after taxing all the billionaires 90 pct?
