Hearing "YMCA" playing the background of every MAGA / Republican rally news coverage is really breaking my brain. Who are these people?

Yesterday I saw 7!!! MPD show up to arrest a man who was drunk, but fully cooperative. A truly overwhelming show of force for a situation that could have been solved by someone telling the dude to go home.

See you in court, creep.

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company is suing Minnesota over a first-in-the-nation law banning technology that allows users to create and post deepfake videos or images of people naked without their consent.

Caught some clips from recent Trump speeches. He's never really seemed in good mental health, but goddam he's slipping fast. Rambling. Incoherent. Slurring. It's pretty sad.

OSSOFF: I expect tonight's speech to be equal parts pathetic and dangerous. I think we will hear from the world's most famous sore loser, a prime time presidential sour grapes address reheating, debunked conspiracy theories about an election in which he was soundly defeated.

Maybe the first time I've agreed with a Christian pastor.

PASTOR LORAN LIVINGSTON (@CentralChurchNC): “There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be. You don’t live in one now. A Christian nation wouldn’t have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans, or thought owning slaves was pleasing to God.”

Norway just simply outplayed Brazil. That's an idea that would have been inconceivable in the past. If they play this smartly, they could go all the way.

After listening to the painfully pretentious and condescending French commentators, I'm officially taking a stand on who I want to win the World Cup: anyone but France.

For some people you can tell how stressed out they are by how much they drink. I don't drink. But I'm opening my 5th bottle of hot sauce in 2026 and I realize this is my indicator. It's probably healthier, but no less concerning.

Stuck in my hotel room because there's a tornado, and the only channels that still come in are Newsmax and a channel that apparently only plays commercials. Not ideal. Not ideal at all.

Nearly 2 billion people live in the red area. It is becoming completely uninhabitable. What do the climate deniers, who also hate immigration, think is going to happen?

Every once in a while I think about all those people who wouldn't vote for Harris because of Palestine. No shade. I honestly wonder how they feel about that decision.

Whoa. ICE agents lied?!? They seemed so honorable when they were beating up old ladies and kidnapping children as they walked home from school. Fuck ICE, and fuck everyone who supports this criminal administration. apnews.com/article/minn...

apnews.comVideo brings new scrutiny to an ICE shooting in Minneapolis after charges against 2 men collapsedThe city of Minneapolis has released a video showing a chase and a scuffle that ended in a nonfatal shooting in January.

These two look like they're going to spend the summer getting into all sorts of hijinks on the quest to finally ... get ... laid!

Ha ha! We beat this little prick with chat rooms, whistles, bravery, and determination. Let him serve as a warning to others.

Minnesota Star Tribune@startribune.com

Greg Bovino is retiring from the Border Patrol after leading a surge of federal forces in Minnesota, where masked agents killed two U.S. citizens; wrongfully detained many citizens and legal residents; and left at least $200 million in economic damage in Minneapolis alone.

Oh, the irony that the people who keep us from moving away from oil dependence are the same people who cause oil dependence to be a huge political and economic problem. There is so much braindead stupid build into "usa conservative", but this one just gets me every time.

This is hard to listen to. Man, we have to do better than this. We just have to.

I’ve heard a lot of things on C-SPAN, but that call was haunting. A brutal reminder of the real-world toll.

Bovino advanced all the way to within eyesight of Paisley Park, but his supply lines were stretched too thin and ultimately his frozen troops were encircled by Will Stancil and wine moms with whistles

This is so fucked up. Poor kid. That cop needs to be suspended or fired.

my expectation of democratic senators is that they find 1/10th of the bravery of your average 70 year old lutheran lady following ICE around mpls in her subaru crosstrek

YES! This!

Minnesota should demand Greg Bovino's teeny tiny CBP vest and helmet and put it in the Historical Society next to the 28th Virginia's Confederate Battle Flag we also rightly own.

"Listen, we have killed and terrorized a LOT of Minnesotans in our time, so we speak from a place of authority when we say -- y'all are fucking outta control"

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."
