How Trump's withdrawal from Minneapolis is being covered abroad.

In Le Monde, the lead French daily, the homepage article starts with:

"Two people dead, thousands arrested, two cities shaken, and Donald Trump defeated."

The volume & geographic distribution of protest nationwide during year 1 of Trump's second term was extraordinary.

Ds successfully block vote on continued funding for DHS, which looks as if it will have to shut down or radically curtail its operations starting in a couple days.

This is why Minnesotans are begging folks outside the state to keep talking about us.

Please don’t let the world forget we are still in danger.
This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein.

the radium metaphor for AI really is good
It's an even more apt one in that, circa 1920, you needed to put radium into everything to get attention/funding. If you didn't have a way to do that then, by jiminy, you damn well better find a way to work the word "radium" into the name of your product/service/company.

Bullshit never changes.

Blueskyese and Xian share an obvious common root as both being Twitteric languages, the difference is that after the split Xian became a hybrid Twitteric/Channer-linkedin tongue, while Blueskyese changed less overall but did pick up some tumbleric and redditor loanwords
yeah Bluesky is primarily a Tumblric language
