How did you find out the young man’s identity, @wsj.com? hmm?
A young man asked Abdul-El Sayed if he would disavow the Muslim Brotherhood. The tense exchange has turned into a highlight for the Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan. Here’s what happened.

@msnowcomms.bsky.social I’m disgusted you are running the political ads endorsing the illegal war on Iran paid for using our tax dollars. This is in direct contradiction of everything said on your network. Repulsive decision to run these ads.

The President of the United States is pery publicly asking a foreign country to kill thousands of Americans on American soil. Again.
Trump: "Let them hit a missile into San Diego or Los Angeles on the way. You want to see a horror show? Let them hit San Diego. Let them hit Los Angeles. You want to see some bad things happen?"

the patriots are at home this week and unrelated but did you know you can write stuff on a beach ball and if its deflated you can put it right in your shirt and no one will know until you bring it out to inflate it?
Imagine every music act playing Gillette Stadium now saying “Free Palestine” as an f-you to the Krafts of the world

There’s such an easy answer to this “gotcha” question and it’s “Sports are inherently unsafe and unfair and it’s ridiculous to single out trans athletes when we allow 150 pound linebackers to go up against 260 pound linemen in freshman football on a daily basis. Let kids play with their friends.”
Talarico: "I oppose trans athletes playing in girls' sports if it endangers safety or fairness"

Agree. We’ve been reporting lately on ICE ramping back up to 11, but the trump administration is trying to do it without Minnesota type headlines. The secret police are trying to be more… secret
ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

Enjoy this article from a Minnesota newspaper in 1882 noting that Scandinavians love their home countries so much that it will take them generations to assimilate into America. www.loc.gov/resource/sn8...
Tom Emmer: "Minnesotans are so afraid that you're gonna call us a racist, you're gonna call us an Islamophobe. You know what? I'm done being even the least bit careful. Somalis don't assimilate. And if they don't assimilate, then they should go the hell back to where they came from."

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.
My uncle has called Columbia Heights, MN home for 96 years and counting - please support this great community if you are there and able.
Columbia Heights is the suburb where Liam Ramos lives, a small working-class highly diverse community just savaged by ICE during its occupation. There's a mutual aid fund and benefit this Saturday. 1) Please come if you're local. My band is playing a set and we're not bad! 2) Please share & donate.

There’s still an occupation on our state by the federal government. We’re still asking community to patrol and observe the illegal actions committed by ICE. Please continue to support our neighbors with mutual aid. Our neighbors are struggling to stay afloat. Ask your electeds to do better.
ACLU MN reported yesterday that the federal government filed sworn statements that there are 970 agents in Minnesota for Operation Metro Surge & that 407 agents will remain here in March. It’s important to note this is on top of the 190 agents that were already assigned before this surge started.

Minnesota still needs your attention
This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
@msnowreports.bsky.social @msnowcomms.bsky.social @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social I cannot believe I just saw a commercial supporting ICE on your network. I’m disgusted you are accepting money from the organization who put the commercial on and aired their pure lies.

Been thinking a lot about this again today. My sympathies to those who were laid off today, and my sympathies to the world at large for losing those voices. Democracy dies in darkness.
When I was a college freshman in the late 90s those of us pursuing an international relations degree were required to have a subscription to WP and read our paper copies every morning as the professor would quiz us on the content in class. It was THE source of truth. I think of that often lately.
