I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

Hometown hero. This gallery is next to my workplace, so I walk past every day and have seen the exhibit. The politest thing I can say is, "I don't get it" — but TBH it seems massively unimpressive. A supposed artist used an environmentally lethal plagiarism-and-regurgitation engine to produce THIS?

ABC News reporting 1,500 active duty soldiers are on standby to deploy to MINNESOTA. The soldiers are from the 11th Airborne Division, based at Joint Base Elmendorf--Richardson, one of the Army's premier infantry formations. The division is also the military's leading formation for Arctic warfare

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

It’s been one month since 100% of the Epstein files were due by Act of Congress. Thus far they’ve only released .6% of them and are using murder and war to distract you from this fact.

This is an image of a federal agent shooting chemical munitions at a crowd at point blank range in Minneapolis on the day Renee Good was executed Whatever your feelings on law enforcement, understand they don't apply here whatsoever because ICE categorically *has nothing to do with law enforcement*

The sheer disregard shown by this regime for the humanity of trans kids and their families is breathtakingly cruel. The Dr. Oz-run Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has proposed two rules that would severely restrict access to gender affirming care for young Americans.

Police Chief Brian O’Hara has delivered a blunt message to his department: If an officer witnesses ICE agents using illegal force and fails to step in, they will be fired. 👏 👏 👏

Minneapolis police chief warns officers: Stop unlawful force by ICE or lose your job

Chief Brian O’Hara says he’ll fire city police officers if they don’t intervene when immigration agents use unlawful force.
