WATCH: Today, Lisa Demuth refused to answer — three times — whether she would pardon Derek Chauvin.

Peggy Flanagan gets an A on the Integrity Index and is the only candidate in the Minnesota Senate race who has received no money from corporate PACs.

There will never be a way to know how many of your followers on bsky are right wing accounts tracking and monitoring, but wow do I really want to know.

Starlink is a national security risk.

Trump is loving this. He doesn't have to do any boring president stuff, he can just stand in front of his rabid base and spew bullshit to applause.

Another Hatch Act violation in my inbox today from the Social Security Administration. Hope Bisignano ends up in jail with the rest of them.

As an experiment, I commented on FB about the No Kings block and not a single person has viewed it. 100% censored.

The Tesla car is so cool that they should release all the Epstein files.

To be clear, evil billionaire scumbag Zuckerberg shutting down the official No Kings account in the middle of nationwide protests isn’t a mistake, it’s an assault on a free speech and expression, it’s pure fascism.

@wired.com I'm struggling with whether to renew when the subscription is just 4 issues a year and they seem to be shrinking in size while better content is locked behind "premium" subs. Is Wired winding down after being an important force for so many years?

As if you needed more of a reason to quit that shit.

So great!

So the official stance of Chick-fil-A is "we still hate gays, we just hope you'll forget" does that sound right?

For me it was about third grade I think but I didn't really learn to embrace it until high school when I discovered punk culture.

The latest political attack ad in Minnesota is basically just "they don't hate Somali." Racism in plain sight.

The left gets accused of being obsessed with Russia collusion, but how can it not when all the evidence is out in the open. This Russian energy deal is an embarrassment. They assume the public is too stupid to follow along.

Citizens United: rich people could already legally bribe politicians, companies should be able to as well.

10 MILLION dollars of tax payer money spent on Trump political ads. Fucking criminal.

If we only we took death threats seriously in this country.

Data centers are booming. All other private construction is shrinking.

Spending my tax money on these Trump campaign commercials makes me mad as hell. Taxation with anti-representation. Put this goon in jail.

I don’t remember anyone giving Jerome Powell a check for $100 million. Who gave it to Kevin Warsh, days before he was confirmed and why?

Community Notes for the win here, Megyn Kelly. 👌

Can we stop worrying about Flock cameras and start worrying about the surveillance state and create some real privacy laws?

No one knows. No one *can* know, because this is all up for grabs. The future isn't something that happens to us. The future is something that *we* make.

It can't be their pitch because they both actively punch down right?? www.startribune.com/lisa-demuth-...

From the Magna Carta to the Constitution to the Emancipation Proclamation to 19th Amendment, voting rights (what you might call "Big P" Politics) were always downstream of protests, riots, petitions, mass movements, strikes and good, old fashioned community organizing (that is, "small p" politics).

Does anybody believe a politician when they say they will reach across the aisle, or work together? Does anybody even want that anymore?

GOP has a lot of nerve to talk about fighting corruption when this crap is happening: A quiet rule change could signal “the end of independent financial regulators” just as the SEC prepares to deregulate crypto, mega-IPOs, and corporate governance. www.levernews.com/sec-quorum-r...

It's amazing. Every A.I. is getting better and more capable all the time. Except Gemini. Gemini still can never do what I want.

michele tafoya: my only qualification is that you've seen me talk to football players.

The Armory venue in Minneapolis is kind of awful. This $12 English muffin size pizza is one example when the menu clearly shows a 10" pizza.

They all knew ahead of time who he is...

If I go online and every retailed has shows from @brooksrunning.com selling within 6 cents of each other, that has to be price fixing right?

I went to use Google Gemini and the first thing I had to do to use it with my data was to accept a policy that says humans at Google can review my data. Google employees reading my email and docs? smh

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Historians: when Germans were paying for bread with wheelbarrows full of money were there people saying, like Trump, that they would produce their way out of inflation?

Trump not understanding that the only way he can get interest rates down is to stop inflation.

Every time a company makes me MFA by copying a code out of my email I like them a little less.

I thought that A.I. concern was a bit overblown but just heard that Trump called it a hoax so now I know it is a real and imminent threat.

www.startribune.com/mn-gov-tim-w... GOP commercials would have you believe that fraud is the only thing the office of the Governor should care about.

"Yes, during Homecoming, he did erect a Confederate statue on the field while shouting a full-throated defense of eugenics into the loudspeaker. But what are we supposed to do? Buy entirely new sweatshirts? We cannot replace tradition. We cannot replace Sir Racist Von Genocide." buff.ly/cvVJWJp

This economy got me thinking things like "I'll make my own candy bars"

It is journalistic malpractice that major news outlets are not producing 5-alarm-fire reports to warn the public that the president of the United States is out of his mind.

Suggesting we rename New Mexico to New America makes me think we should RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.
