This woman has been handed a WORLD HISTORICAL opportunity to serve her constituents and skyrocket to a place of national prominence, including the top of 2028 contender lists. She'd just need to show some leadership and vision. But she can't. So she's posting about the weather at hockey games.
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.

I really want to post about fun non-political things! I don't want to be histrionic all the time! But it's a real bummer our government aspires to vindictive fascism! I just want to post GIFs and laugh at jokes! Are there horse socks? Is anybody listening to me?
Mischief Toy Store in St. Paul has until Wednesday to turn over employment records to the Department of Homeland Security as part of a surprise audit launched Friday, just hours after one of the shop's owners criticized ICE agents during a television interview. bit.ly/4r5AFol

It’s notable that the president can go on TV and be a total gutter racist, and somehow this isn’t news in the slightest. Says a lot about the sickness of American society right now.
Trump: "They're paid agitators and insurrectionists. Nobody talks about the fact that $19 billion at a minimum is missing in Minnesota, given to a large degree by Somalians. They've taken it. Somalians. A lot of very low IQ people."

Fun fact: Black Panthers doing perfectly legal (at the time) open carry in CA in the 1960s spurred then-Governor Reagan to sign the Mulford Act into law in 1965, prohibiting it.
These people have no consistent politics outside a desperate, leering need to keep hold of power and privilege.

I genuinely don't understood how America took the emoluments clause -- the common-sense bar on a president using his powers to line his own pockets, a law children can understand -- and just said, nah, that doesn't apply for our Very Special Boy.

We need to get back to the founding principles that made this country great.
That’s why I support putting militarized troops in US cities and giving them the power to search anyone and enter any home at any time. And to rough up or possibly shoot anyone who objects.
Let’s do Boston next!

one of the weirdest things about the current moment is how the national media have to pretend like they don't know what this is about. official government social media accounts are posting about racially cleansing America and they have to pretend like it's not clear who the bad guy is.

Owning the libs by letting intelligence analysts undress the Ayatollah.
A company, and indeed the very piece of software made and operated by that company, that is unapologetically publishing kiddie porn at the behest of the worst people on the internet
U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced the integration of Elon Musk's xAI platform, Grok, into military networks as part of a new "AI acceleration strategy" during a visit to SpaceX.

Rooting against someone is often more fun than rooting for someone. A Hater’s Creed.

The national media, the ADL, corporate leaders, etc. are not revisiting their decisions about Musk now afaict. Musk is just allowed to be a very public Nazi accelerationist as well as a CSAM publisher without any mainstream scrutiny.
Every week is overwhelming evidence of what we saw with our own eyes, but which our credulous media was afraid to print: the Nazi salute was a Nazi salute
Yesterday Elon Musk retweeted "white solidarity is the only way to survive". In our numb overwhelmed media environment it barely made headlines that the world's richest man endorsed blood-curdling white nationalism. My brief writeup for @religiondispatches.org

This is what happens when basic morality is secondary to pure identity alignment. People are willing to “well ackshually” egregious acts to defend their guy or the platform that owns their enemy. And the lawmakers who introduce legislation about “protecting kids” are afraid of the mob.
A ream of norms are being shattered daily, but as a tech expert this one really shocks me. For a generation CSAM has been *THE* flaming red line for a tech platform. If they spent money on ANYTHING, it was moderating it miles away. To even have the whiff of it was a Federal kiss of death. Now? 🤷♂️
I want to highlight this important story by my friends @nbcnews.com - www.nbcnews.com/tech/interne... "The Internet Watch Foundation said it found topless images of girls that dark web forum users attributed to xAI’s Grok Imagine." <-- the AI generated CSAM / NCII immediately escapes containment

That is called murder when they do that.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

If Instagram had a feature that let users create sexual images of women and minors, it would be a national news scandal and shut down immediately. I'm not naive about media and political influence, but I'm very confused why there isn't massive coverage and outrage at Elon/Grok right now.

also, if i were advising, say, anthropic, i would tell them to draw extremely broad and aggressive marketing and messaging distinctions between the CSAM hate machine (xAI), the suicide machine (openAI) and the clippy-but-worse machine (copilot), and focus on being the buddhist codemonkey machine
the other tech companies working on AI will — not now, but eventually — regret having chosen not to draw a bright line between what musk is doing and what they're doing, and google, of all companies, really should know this firsthand, given how much tesla's self-driving informs opinions about waymo
