Jacob Frey: "If we are now at the point where the federal govt is deploying agents on legal American citizens with a goal of uprooting people who have formed lives here, have families here, started businesses here, definitively made Minneapolis a better place, everybody should be speaking out."

So I just got in from the dinner with my clients tonight in DC. We were at the rooftop bar and could see people doing construction on the East Wing. It’s 10:21 PM. So…We can’t pay our Federal employees but can pay contractors OT for a new bunker… I mean new ballroom?! 😒

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Beyer: I don’t like to do ad hominem attacks, but I’ve served with four different speakers. This is the fifth one—by far the weakest speaker, I think, in American history.

For the weekend reading crowd: I wrote in @theguardian.com about how I chose to write a love story during the pandemic, the frustration and glory of Black archives,--and the 160+ Y.O letter that inspired it all! You can see for yourself!

Love endures all, including slavery and the pandemic. I wanted to show how
In early 2020, separated from my family and friends during the pandemic, I made up my mind to write a love story

I say this as a Catholic: I really don't care about the Trump-Pope photo. He wants you to be outraged, wants you talking about dumb shit like that—and not the fact that they're crashing the economy and making everything more expensive. Don't play his stupid game.

Kenyan #journalist Alvin Kaunda was reporting live from Nairobi when a curious baby #elephant, Kindani, decided to join the broadcast. The playful elephant stuck her trunk in Alvin's mouth, making for a hilarious moment! A joyful reminder of wildlife's charm and the work of the Sheldrick Trust!

They are are eating the checks; they are eating the balances.

The economy is a wreck, but they are pretending we are in a palace.

At the stroke of midnight the tarriffs will invoke more madness & the only question will be who will keep their lips tight & who will fight

For the people that is!

Reckless cruelty isn’t strength.

Capitulation isn’t courage.

Cultish allegiance isn’t patriotism.

We used to know the difference.
