Yes it’s cold in Minnesota—but we embrace it. John and I were in Hastings with Mayor Fasbender for Hockey Day Minnesota to watch my alma mater, Wayzata High School, take on Rogers. Photo taken with parents right after their son scored a goal!

I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.
Senator Gallego weighs in as well. Note that at the start of 2025 he was considered a *moderate* on immigration and co-sponsored the Laken Riley Act. Him and many other Dems have been increasingly horrified at what ICE is doing and shifted away from a "more enforcement" focus.

What ever happened to the real-time NYC subway map that Work & Co designed? It was so well done, and the MTA just quietly killed it at some point over the past 5 years.

I would personally love it if @mayor.nyc.gov could find a way to cut down on the city's light pollution, especially when incredible celestial events occur. We need bread and auroras, too!

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.
moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.
one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

It sure sounds like level-headed Matt is just griping about his own experience getting called out for supporting any number of right-wing positions over the years, and being correctly IDed as a guy who makes it easier for politicians to adopt or hold policy positions that leftists think are bad.
I’m trying a big-tent approach to climate - @dwallacewells.bsky.social & @mattyglesias.bsky.social both blurbed my book. But Matt is so right about the lefty approach to enemy-choosing. He doesn’t mention climate but Al Gore (!) called this Ivory Soap environmentalism: 99.44% pure ain’t enough.

Obviously the tired "where is the Joe Rogan of the left" discourse was never about building leftist media talent, which already existed, but propping up cutouts to regurgitate talking points and handle their talent with kid gloves. Just watch Ritchie Torres on the Adam Friedland show to see why
