Attorney and learner, spending most of my time near the confluence of the Minnesota and Mississippi Rivers. I oppose white supremacists and those who give them space.

Donald Trump, who I do not support, isn't technically having a forever war with Iran, which I also do not support, because all of the fighting takes place during ceasefires. by Glenn Greenwald

The Constitution says that children born in the United States are citizens of the United States. A guy who jokes about pubic hairs on Coke cans says that they are not. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Imagine what kind of chaos there would be in places like Iran, Ukraine and Gaza if we didn't have the steady hand of Jared Kushner guiding U.S. diplomacy.

Ossoff: "The president was so humiliated in Hormuz he threw his toys out the stroller & refused to sign the affordable housing bill. That's after he gave some felon donor a no bid contract for the reflecting pool & it filled up with algae, which for some reason required the deployment of the Guard."

John Roberts' Constitution forbids any attempt to proactively ameliorate racial discrimination and racial inequality, but permits open racial discrimination as long as there is a facially neutral explanation available, even if it isn't remotely plausible. This, my friends, is "Colorblindness."

Waiting for the administration to say the spike in gas prices isn't actually a big deal because so many Americans are losing their jobs and won't have to drive to work anymore.

This is why I’m adamant about calling every bad claim out and have been much more blunt to call him a fraud and a hack. Law professors distorting history for public consumption because they either don’t know it or have a political objective aren’t entitled to good faith, nor should we ignore it.

Noah Dahl@noahdahl.bsky.social

He may get it entirely wrong, but to a lay audience (which include the nine sitting at One First) his arguments will sound perfectly legitimate. And that still matters, which means it may may find its way into the opinion.

Why don't the people of the Twin Cities just stay home and let DHS do as it pleases? Speaking only for himself, Mike Somes explains that he personally does it because he is an idiot who does it because he failed to realize that all that talk about inalienable rights was an elaborate joke all along.

There is no serious legal scholarship that suggests that the Framers were thinking of the radical left Democrat Party when they wrote the First Amendment. The grand jury grievously erred by failing to indict Mark Kelly, Elissa Slotkin, and their cohort. by Jonathan Turley

This article has some good info but ignores Ghislaine Maxwell, who is as key as Epstein. She was the daughter of Robert Maxwell, an Israeli spy and Russian mafia operative. Maxwell got key mafiosos out of the USSR by providing them Israeli passports. This allowed them to build a global network (1)

I read thousands of pages of Epstein files this weekend trying to understand what he wanted out of his meeting with 4chan's Christopher Poole. Here's everything we know about Epstein's plans to dismantle the internet and, eventually, democracy. www.garbageday.email/p/here-s-how...

a woman reached out to donate 500,000 delta skymiles to get people home to MN as they are released from custody in TX. we're getting flights booked today. it should be enough to get at least 15 people home. delta should be doing for free since they take ICE money.

Whether it's a Hillary Clinton staffer asking John Podesta how to make risotto or Elon Musk asking Jeffrey Epstein where he could find a party featuring child sex slaves, there's plenty of embarrassing emails on both sides.

After officials did nothing with the information from the first bestseller, which contains the Trump/Epstein rape documents, I wrote a new book about the methods they use to manage evidence. One is feigning shock to avoid accountability. They're doing it again now. www.sarahkendziorbooks.com

Abolish ICE is not enough. Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough. We need prosecutions and trials. Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

Every American veteran and every employee of the VA should rest assured that if their government murders them, Doug Collins will only blame them implicitly, not explicitly, because Doug Collins is a coward.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon. wapo.st/49Zqv1L

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit. It's all white supremacy and greed.

With respect, I understand the need to foster a national identity that resists authoritarianism. But reminders of the Trail of Tears don't undermine this effort; they strengthen it. Excluding these histories makes U.S. authoritarianism harder to recognize because its patterns no longer feel familiar

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social

This is basically how I view the subject. Like, no duh, the United States has done some incredibly awful stuff over the centuries. But we also have a very powerful strand of humanitarianism, especially in the post World War II era, and I will damn well lean into that part of our national identity.

At a time when federal agents are taking "non-citizen" children to detention camps in Minnesota, I offer that Minnesota has been here before. My ancestors have been here before. Perhaps there are deeper lessons in these histories to understand U.S. authoritarianism, as well as forms of resistance.
