Meta recently updated their terms of service to require any businesses that use their products to turn over their intellectual property in exchange for access to their platforms. I’m urging Meta to reverse this decision and compensate creators and publishers for their work.

Lula Goes HARD

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

OOPS GOP ad buyer mixes up Portlands, spends money meant to help Maine Sen. Susan Collins in Oregon The PAC boosting Collins is "absolutely furious" at the "ridiculous error" made by the buyer, which takes blame and has refunded the money. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

fun fact: in 1992, berkley replaced columbus day with Indigenous Peoples day. then no other city or state did until 2014,when i was a policy aide for Alondra Cano and some friends and i convinced her to pass the resolution in Minneapolis. i got to write it and plan the celebration.

My kid has started a Letterboxd list called Killer Sweaters for films where the killer wears a great sweater and they've asked me to throw it out to Bluesky for more because "that's the kind of thing those weirdos like to do"

For months Gabriela Soto has relentlessly advocated for her husband Martin, unlawfully detained by ICE while buying diapers for their baby. Martin played a key role in the Delaney Hall hunger strike this summer. Last night we was RELEASED from ICE custody. ALWAYS FIGHT BACK.

This doesn’t sound right.

Why do I keep scrolling. What am I expecting to happen that hasn't happened already

I’m so mad and sad about the Metro Surge. I know it’s October but kids in high school don’t have their moms and I’m so sad.

While picking up trash throughout the city, the Litter Caterpillars realized much of the garbage accumulated in vacant lots. So they bought two lots in Englewood to turn into a park. buff.ly/JMpBZA9

Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.

Kestrels can hover in place for over a minute at a time while scanning for food, if wind conditions are ideal. This stationary hunting method, which earned them the historical nickname "windhover," lets them drop vertically on prey like mice and insects.

The five biggest defense contractors spent more than $100B on buybacks and dividends since 2020. I have a simple question for defense contractors: If taxpayers are giving you billions to build military equipment, why are you buying back your own stock? This needs to stop.

Michele Tafoya probably gets Maple Grove and Maplewood mixed up sometimes if it’s been a long day.

With my mom, I made it so she couldn’t see texts from numbers that weren’t already programmed in her phone. I think it helped. But then I saw the amount of sad AI slop on her Facebook. It’s literally elder abuse. Her texts were mostly GOP, but they sound like an abusive, controlling ex.

just another reminder that if you don’t like the idea of amy klobuchar as governor of Minnesota, your best course of action is to head to a swing house or senate district and get on the doors help get those caucuses so strong that Amy’s power as governor means less

Special interests think they can buy this Senate seat. They've spent $20 million to do it. But I have seen what Minnesotans can do when we organize together. So when it comes down to the many or the money, I'm betting on us.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

There are 10 days until polls close on August 11. This election is too important to sit back or sit out. Make your plan to vote, then send this post to three friends & make sure they have a plan to vote on or by August 11! MNVotes.org

A Virginia developer wants to redevelop the old Star Tribune printing plan into a data center in North Loop. This is on a 13-acre site by the river. This is exactly why CM @aurinmpls.bsky.social & I authored a data center moratorium & we were told to not worry. 1/ www.startribune.com/data-center-...

We don’t like that….

Everyone save this so you can make it a meme when Peggy wins and does cool stuff.

TPS for Haitians officially expires tomorrow. ICE is planning big operations, with Springfield, Ohio among the targets www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-hai...

$37.5 billion dollars is almost 5 years of WIC funding. we could feed the most vulnerable women and children in our country for five years for what they’ve spent on five months of useless war.

Murray: Is it true that people making under $184,000 pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate? Dahl: Yes. Murray: And what is the rate for someone making $1,000,000? Dahl: 2.2%.

San Jose Heads up. Google is building a Huge Data Center n lying about what the building is! #sanjose #california #bandatacenters

To date, immigration officials have shot and killed 11 people, including two Minnesotans. Across the country, they operate with no respect for human life, the law, or consequences. There's no reforming this agency. Rip it apart.

“Your horror has been stolen from you” is a 10/10 sentence.

One of the legacies of Lindsay

BREAKING: in June 2026, *every single one* of the 1,062 refugees admitted in the U.S. were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 7,727 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November), and nobody else. For reference, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees in 2024.

WAIT FOR IT WAIT. FOR. IT! 🪶 🐣

this dog looks like he’s wearing a suit from the 1995 nba draft

One of the better decisions they made in K-Pop Demon Hunters was to make a fun self-contained story with quirky endearing characters and simple yet affecting emotional stakes that serve as a good hook for catchy music and fun frenetic action sequences. Other films should maybe try that.

You and your neighbors should not be subsidizing the electricity needs of a data center run by a trillion-dollar corporation.   My Power for the People Act would force Big Tech to pay for their own power needs. We should pass it today to protect consumers from rising costs NOW.

G is for Geode. And that's good enough for me.

👇let’s talk more about how Pete Hegseth is 1000% unqualified for the job. RFK is not serving based on merit. Markwayne Mullin what happens when whiteness feels threatened.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

One way to learn from an expert is to go to class, pay attention to the advice offered, and ask for more help. Your local librarian, and every English teacher you have would enjoy helping you write more, write effectively, and communicate your most essential ideas.

Wonder if maybe it’s actually not great to drop out of college before taking any humanities classes. No rhetoric? No history? No racial understanding?

The War in Iran is costing taxpayers nearly $1 billion a day. While Trump funds another illegal war, Republicans in Congress are cutting healthcare and food assistance.  Invest in the American people, not more endless wars.
