An excerpt from Sophie Gilbert’s review of the new Melania movie:

"Melania shows off her custom-made inauguration gown, stark white with black ribbons overlaying it, a dress that now looks unavoidably like the redacted Epstein files."

Wrecktangle Pizza just gave $5000 to save Mercado Central. I love these people so much.
This place is a treasure. A little mall filled with vendors - delicious food, fun wares, kind people. A real heartbeat of a place. If you care about saving immigrant heritage in this fucking monstrous thing, please help them. I am.

Well they’ve already publicly executed a man and a woman so the next logical step would be a child.

Stella Carlson, known as "Pink Jacket Lady" speaks to the despair that motivates Minensotans:

"People are feeling like there's nobody who can step in to protect us. We only have each other. Nobody's going to help us. So it comes down to us documenting abuses ourselves."

I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea.

It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road.

Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.

There's a predictable approach to denial that we're already seeing, which I call the Four Pillars of Disordered Doubt, which allows actors to constantly question evidence that don't fit their preferred narratives.

If I'd gone into a coma on Jan. 6 (the day before Renee Good was murdered), and I woke up this morning, and you told me that Trump was sending Tom Homan to Minnesota, and it was intended as a moderating, calming move...let's just say I'd have questions.

“At NSF, the net reduction of 205 STEM Ph.D.s between 1 January and 30 November constituted 40% of its total pre-Trump Ph.D. workforce of 517, by far the largest percentage at any agency. STEM Ph.D.s also make up a larger percentage of the total workforce at NSF than at any other agency…”.
The US government lost more than 10,000 STEM PhDs last year, according to an analysis by Science of newly released OPM data, with 11 departures for every hire. And many OPM calls "voluntary" separations were probably pushed. www.science.org/content/arti...

"106,636 years of federal work experience were lost across the 10,109 employees with Ph.D.s who departed STEM or health roles 1 January–30 November."

It isn't just the scientific knowledge but the *institutional* knowledge that's been lost. Rebuilding federal science will be a generational effort.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

This is absurd to put all of those CBP agents involved in the murder of Alex Pretti back onto the streets already.

They pose a very real, proven danger to the community.
CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting
