I find it necessary these days to affirm the obvious because the descent into fascism is mostly a continuous, not discrete, process so here it goes:

these are internal checkpoints by secret police for what is routine freedom of movement.
It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents will begin checking documents of travelers and workers at MSP airport, with patrols inside jet bridges.

before I go to bed, I feel obliged to emphasize how tonight’s rampage in northern Minneapolis was, by no exaggeration, a glorified episode of klan night riding by federally deputized groypers. Yes, DHS always had these people but the difference now is that they’re in charge and with a $175B budget.

It would appear that uncritically funding the people that hate us so much that they mint coins commemorating body counts instead of listening to the people who said that the institutional rot within the police is so deeply engrained that they represent a danger to us all has mysteriously backfired.

“They called the local sheriff; they showed up and were going to arrest me. These are the same people that I’m supposed to call to coordinate security or to do support when I have a town hall.”

Rochester is under attack right now. They are staging at school bus drop offs. They told Rep. Andy Smith to “get the fuck out” of a parking lot and that they didn’t need warrants.
They are literally parking in the Mayo patient lot to grab people.

We're slipping into full-blown gutter racist pogrom politics and the reactions from most of the media/punditocracy/commentariat/elite/influencers/etc has tended from gleeful participation to "well, if that's what the people what it can't be that bad".

Seems suboptimal, to me.
One thing that makes me depressed is that we’re bringing back medieval blood libel for minority groups (Haitians and Somalis in particular) and where once normies would be shocked or ignorant, now they’re saying stuff like “perfidis Judaeis-cels be seething over Good Friday chads” bc of TikTok

we need to invent a Glonzo of our own, to come up with a reason to kill consumer-facing LLM giants and cripple social media companies in a way that combats the warped incentives they create for speech without the policy being facially about speech

On Tuesday night, our City Council unanimously passed the 2026 budget! The budget now heads to Mayor Frey to sign.

All 12 of my budget amendments passed successfully.
