this racist and bigoted piece of shit destroyed a lot of careers because he was too rotten and stupid to hack it when he had the chance

The GOP should mandate that federal prisons have podcasting studios while they still can.

This appears to be more effective than using the Gadsden flag for a Facebook background pic.

I truly think this will be generational. So many Twin Cities kids coming of age the time of George Floyd and the ICE occupation. They have seen armed forces terrorize their neighbors and classmates, and their parents and communities fight back. Many will still vote with those memories in 50 years.

And Duke University looked over applications from promising young people all over America and said, "wait, this spoiled asshole from Santa Monica who gave a speech that they should be allowed to throw their trash on the floor because they had janitors -- this is a true Duke Man."

Never forget that 18 year-old Stephen Miller asked himself, "What college best represents who I am and what I hope to be?" and the answer was: Duke University.

In honor of the Cybertruck going bye bye, it brings me great joy to revisit this — the most iconic @wired.com photo essay of all time.

The last time Democrats had something like this margin was in the first two years of the Obama administration (257-178), but that majority was soon crushed by the Tea Party wave in 2010. Political power doesn't last forever. Use it or lose it.

There has absolutely been a belief amongst the tycoons at the trillion-dollar companies that they were in endgame, and would never have to be concerned with public sentiment or accountability the rule of law ever again.

It sure seems like the AI tech bubble was predicated on a belief, both in the industry and in the market, that realizing it was dependent on permanent authoritarian rule.

The underestimation of Dems last night was larger than any pro-Republican error in the polls over the last decade with the exception of 2020. And I don't see major media orgs fundamentally reshaping their columnist slates or editorial priorities to address their "blind spot," as they did after 2024.

While I understand the thought of saying things like this. I still think there are too many people who continue to fail to understand the historical violent moment we lived through and that continues to happen because of ICE. They know bad things happened in mn blah blah, but they don't get it

Twice I've started listening to a popular, esteemed podcast doing an episode about the midterms, I get like 10 minutes in and they haven't mentioned ICE generally or Minneapolis specifically, and I turn it off, delete it, unsubscribe, and mentally write them off as unserious hacks

Are we seriously still doing this?! No. Dismantle it. ICE has no legitimacy. The agency is synonymous with lawless, paramilitary thuggery, and no reforms can undo that.

It’s time for ICE to take the masks off, turn the body cameras on, and start answering to the American people who pay for their bloated budget.

I took a look at who are the biggest losers in the Minnesota Senate. It's a shame that some rural Minnesota towns are represented by incompetent losers. It explains why the MN GOP bench is so shallow. thedeets.com/mn-senator-r...

Hell no. ABOLISH ICE. COMPLETELY DEFUND IT. FIRE AND INVESTIGATE LITERALLY EVERYONE WHO WORKED FOR IT. MELT DOWN ITS WEAPONS AND EQUIPMENT. GIVE EVERYONE IT PROSECUTED AMNESTY AND CITIZENSHIP, SHOULD THEY WANT IT.

North Dakota, Indiana, Missouri, and Utah are four viable options for Elon to move to before 2028 to help flip them blue. They each have governor and senator races to flip.

By my back of envelope calculations it looks like this guy and the Uihleins account for a full 10% of *all* election spending in Minnesota this year. Neither live here.

A wealthy out-of-state tech investor was behind a surge in campaign ads against dozens of DFL candidates in key Minnesota House and Senate races in the weeks leading to Election Day.

It's weird how you can be used to things like memorials in pictures or in person and then sometimes they hit you hard and you find yourself in tears again (or feeling sick again). George Floyd, Renee Good, and Alex Pretti were murdered within a 2 mile or so stretch in Minneapolis.

The results are in. The least popular candy among coworkers eating my kids' excess treats from Halloween is Milky Way.

Center of The American Experiment is basically plagiarizing Nazis now. This isn't taken out of context. They literally posted it themselves. www.tiktok.com/t/ZPLm7A4B8/

Every time one of these bubbles bursts, the billionaires whose political stooges scream the loudest about the dangers of socialism always get the government to bail them out. That inarguable fact, plus a regressive tax code, guarantees that American capitalism is just socialism for the rich.

All of Minneapolis never apologized for what they did to Aurin Chowdhury and Aisha Chughtai. They endorsed and stood by a deeply flawed and racist candidate over experienced and competent elected officials.

Jason Chavez@jchavezmpls.bsky.social · last wk.

When progressives lose, we're told to unify. When establishment Dems lose, they show up with the Republican. Haley Stevens could've learned a thing or two from Francesca Hong. Progressives get thrown under the bus every cycle. Then the party wonders where the trust went.

The disgusting and frankly racist way Haley Stevens uses Black voters as a prop in her demented and deluded power game is emblematic of a much bigger centrist Dem problem. It is utterly despicable across the board.

ICE agents apparently searched for themselves in the leaked database, thereby revealing their identities

In Minneapolis we call this Pulling a Becka.

Elon's biggest fear is that Democrats will unrig the political system when they take power. I've never heard a better argument for why Democrats should unrig the political system when they take power.
