That's how you know the part about them being tackled is a lie.

We all knew this was happening.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

We're race traitors. A majority of white people statewide voted for Ellison. Omar wins by huge margins in a majority white district. It's white Jan from accounting and Dan from purchasing coming out to help non-white people. They need to make an example of us.

I am so sorry for your loss. I never met her, but as someone with ME, I knew who she was and am still so grateful for her advocacy.

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

I have POTS. I can walk fine, but I can't stand in long lines. Fucks up my autonomic system for days. I haven't traveled more than a one day's car trip in years because I just can't face this dhit

Sorry typos. It's a shift from employers. I started working right before the tech bubble burst. I was dating someone older than me. The changes in corporate culture were a common topic at happy hours as they knew lots of people who were getting laid off after decades at the same company.

feel they have toward there employees. I've talked about the shift with HR people who were a generation older than me.

so you were stuck if you hated your job, or your boss sucked. You had to socially conform in ways you don't now in order to access that life. I don't even disagree with Will that life is better now for the majority of people. But I have seen a cultural shift from corporate employees

I grew up in Minnesota, with a disproportionate number of these types of jobs, so perhaps my sense of how common it was is skewed. There are downsides to how it was. They were jobs just for white men. Life is much better for people outside that demographic. Being disloyal to your employer was bad,

That relationship was after I'd grown up to leave home. He'd been long sober by the time my mom dated him. No trauma at all.

I have worked in white-collar jobs for 25 years in Minneapolis. Addicts have poor job performance long before they enter rehab. You won't be employed to have ADA accomodations. I agree that many of the changes in employment over the last 40-50 years are good.

Where exactly did I say it was perfect? I have 300 characters. This is not the sum totality of what I believe about the cultural changes surrounding employment.
December 18, 2025 at 12:11 PM
people didn't understand why young people like me didn't have any loyalty to our employer. It maybe needed to happen because our postwar global economic dominance was ending, but the sense of stability and safety was good for people's well-being.

The deregulation that started with Carter, picked-up under Reagan, and was fully embraced by Clinton came with a huge cultural change in the paternalistic attitude companies had for employers. I started working at the tail end of the change where the guarantee of a job was gone, but old HR

It was better in the post-war era. More workers had union protection. Companies didn't do mass lay-offs of white-collar workers every time there was an economic downturn. I'm 49. My mom dated someone who worked for Cray who had his 28-day stay at Hazelden covered three times. Who would do that now?

and some Frey surrogates reacted this way. Wedge Live is just joking that the DSA folks should react the same way. It's not a serious objection to paying the mayor more.
December 6, 2025 at 1:03 AM
This post was an in- group joke for Minneapolitans that follow city politics, not an actual objection to the pay increase. The DSA/more progressive bloc on the City Council and Frey have an extremely contentious relationship. The City Council tried to increase their own, also underpaid, salaries 1/
