Not all the angelic powers are in Heaven, y'know? There are days when God says ro one or another of them, "Hey, it's *your* day to walk with the one who flies the Bat."

The ones who can enter Black-majority spaces on their own terms, without having their hands held or their space guarded by the Black person they’ve hired for that purpose…they don’t need help courting Black voters. The Clintons had it (esp. Hillary); Biden had it; Mamdani has it.

You know, once you get past the oligarchs and racists, normal humans are actually pretty good.

The anti-trans moral panic is also why those of us combating book bans keep telling people that this current movement isn't like bans of old. This is part of the same playback as eradicating queer and trans lives, and implementing Christian nationalism and white supremacy.

BREAKING: DC Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, keeps in place a lower court order blocking DHS Sec. Noem’s effort to end Haiti temporary protected status designation.

Judges Pan and Garcia deny DOJ’s request to stay the district court order. Judge Walker would have granted it.

Haiti TPS is safe for now.

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

Perry: This St. Patrick’s Day, don’t forget Irish music’s anti-fascist roots Dropkick Murphys, the iconic Irish American punk band, are headlining a free block party March 6 near where Alex Pretti was killed by immigration agents, contributing columnist David M. Perry writes.

NEW β€œWe’re celebrating a tradition that is at its core about resisting occupation and maintaining community in the face of horrors. You can’t keep politics out of Irish music. No one should try, for two reasons. First, it’s ahistorical. Second, Minnesotans are ready for a big anti-fascist party.”

Exactly what it looks like.

(and it's more than just the non-Christian, it's all of us who aren't "Christian" the way these fuckheads define it)

It is 2026 and we are not fucking doing this anymore. EIGHT WOMEN came forward and told stories of Franken GROPING AND FORCIBLY KISSING THEM. The man was a sexual abuser. He did not and does not belong in congress. Fucking period. End of conversation.

I've been thinking so much about Ireland during the ICE siege here in Minnesota and David, as always, puts on paper what for me was just a sort of inchoate blob of feelings. Terrific piece.

Even people I know and like, people I am pretty sure would use their voice to help me if I ever needed it

play into the deadly sex worker stigma, seemingly unconsciously, when criticizing vile evil women

And while I don't feel like calling them out directly right now and might privately later...

So apparently Blick is trying to muscle in on the art supply distribution and pressure the smaller companies to buy from them at higher prices?

I need to look into this but bad Blick! Bad!

correct

there is no reason for a single one of them to vote for Mullin (yes, Mr. Fetterman, that means you) and they should make this as embarrassing as possible - which, given Mullin’s extensive track record of putting his foot in his mouth, shouldn’t even be that hard

Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez saying Trump impulsively acted in Venezuela and Iran, causing global instability, and suggesting spikes in instability coincide with revelations about the Epstein files. Below is a video still of Ocasio-Cortez speaking outside a government building.

Continuation of the same post showing Ocasio-Cortez arguing that if the Epstein files influence Trump’s decisions enough to risk global conflict to protect himself politically, it means he cannot make objective decisions for the American people. The image shows Ocasio-Cortez speaking on a walkway outside a building.

Hey Twin Cities folks! My work is looking to hire someone who has some experience setting up and running CNC lathes. CAM experience not necessary but helpful.

Location is a innner ring suburb and is reasonably transitable and bikeable.

If you’re interested DM me

Unlike the folks who collect garbage, or run a lathe, or drive an Uber.

Sure, some really like the work. Most don't hate it, but everyone is doing it because they get paid.

That's what makes it a job, not a hobby.

Tracking the Historic Rise of Habeas Cases Filed by Detained Immigrants ProPublica is tracking the historic rise in challenges filed by immigrants claiming their detention is illegal.

For those looking for additional data points about what's happening with immigration enforcement in Minnesota and other states, our habeas case tracker has just been updated. TLDR new cases have dropped: projects.propublica.org/habeas-track...

*any information your client discloses that you put into the LLM is now part of that LLM's query history, and while they claim they're not data-mining, why would you trust them? They're already proven they are thieves! And they can't protect themselves from theft because they're thieves!

Any work product one generates with an LLM is not protected by intellectual property protections, copyright, and likely isn't protected by client confidentiality*, so you know... it's always worth reminding the decision makers that anything LLM-made can be stolen and there's nothing they can do!
