INBOX: data from the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migrations show that in the most recent three months, every single one of the 1,651 refugees accepted into the United States were of (white) South African origin.

Cricket was the name of the puppy that Kristi Noem murdered.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Just because you got fired, Minnesotans won’t forget what you did to our neighbors. We will continue to fight for you to be held accountable.

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

I remember finding King’s post very shocking & it’s sad to remember that at the time, it felt like a dangerous but fringe sentiment, not the Republican Party’s default setting

This is something that has always bothered me: landlords always talk about COVID like they were absolutely gutted. But this massive study by a national trade org, which was conducted on a month-to-month basis, shows the industry never took a bath

I was proud to author an ordinance in 2023 moving mandating a 30-day rental pre-eviction notice in Minneapolis.

Sadly, we’re barely going to pass the temporary 60-day notice tomorrow and then face the threat of a veto.

Thank you Saint Paul for being pro-human.

Minneapolis council members press chief on why police didn’t do more during ICE surge Police Chief Brian O’Hara said police officers can’t stop federal agents from enforcing federal law unless they witness something egregious.

Good thing nothing egregious happened 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

This is known as the riddle of the trash barricades: We've established MPD is never going to intervene in cases of reckless, dangerous behavior/driving by federal agents. So why send cops to disassemble barricades erected to address a problem that police won't?

Early 2026 Hennepin County Sheriffs are throwing early 2020 MPD vibes. This is not a compliment.

"The biggest change took effect in Florida on Sunday, when officials cut off benefits for at least 16,000 residents living with H.I.V."

"cut off benefits" sounds like they lost access to Hulu. Call it what it is: "told 16,000 people they no longer get the medication that keeps them alive"

this is brian flakne, who represented landlord john wall in the suit robin wonsley and michael wilson had to file against him last summer for violating voters' rights by not allowing them to doorknock his buildings!

Tillis to Noem: "A 14 month old dog is basically a teenager in dog years. You decided to kill that dog bc you hadn't invested the appropriate training, then you have the audacity to write a book & say it's a leadership lesson! ... Those are bad decisions not unlike what happened in Minneapolis"

peggy flanagan’s campaign manager on twitter reporting that angie craig is down 13 points in the minnesota senate primary with 75% of voters saying that her vote for the laken riley act is disqualifying, which would certainly explain her suddenly apologizing for it just days after standing by it

Texas AG Paxton Declares Therapists Affirming Trans Youth To Be Illegal And Child Abuse The declaration echoes his 2022 efforts to target parents of trans youth with child abuse, and may force conversion therapy on trans youth in the state.

1. This morning, Texas AG Ken Paxton just released a chilling new declaration:

Mental health therapists, counselors, and psychologists must cease affirming trans youth - using their name and pronouns - or potentially face child abuse charges and loss of licensure.

Its a horrifying escalation.

This is who the Minnesota WILD GM wanted in the US Men's locker room to celebrate. Someone who is actively covering up the murders of 2 Minnesotans.

This is what happens when you effectively have no ethical rules at the top of government — virtually limitless opportunities for insider profiteering.

Yeah, not a great sign that they're just going to be experimenting on trans inmates like this and it's not a big story.

Anyone who followed MN politics know that the current Democratic Party—as wildly unpopular as it is w actual people but a huge fundraising machine—is a perfect vision of pointless statements and inaction that form DFL head Martin is a master of.

really one of the strangest media cycles in history, where mainstream media actively hid the fact that the columbine killers were popular upper class preppy kids with full on neo-nazi ideologies and instead pretended they were victims of bullying

Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”
