The DFL should be ashamed. Their goal, meant to disenfranchise thousands of Minneapolis residents, will have a ripple effect up and down the ballot. Wanting an affordable and accountable city should not ever be controversial. 8/

Here's a reminder that we should all be using our brains more, and using ChatGPT and A.I. less.

A lot less.

Maybe I shouldn't care about @howstuffworks.com? But wow, wild claims about gas in these. Is it AGA sponsored? AI slop? Both?

Fact: electric (induction and radiant) are more efficient, greener, healthier than gas.

Here’s the bottom line for what’s going on with Grok - if the owner of the website is putting his thumb on the scale hard enough for the chatbot to turn into Goebbels, you should be deeply concerned about what he’s doing to the algorithm that you can’t so easily see, and what it’s doing to you

Because they have not studied or worked in authoritarian bureaucracy, most liberal reporters and pundits are significantly underplaying the catastrophic consequences of 100,000s more ICE agents and private contractors. Their failure to explain these provisions of the new budget is inexcusable.

This sham of a bill says our nation’s highest priority is to extract cash from the bottom 99% and transfer it to the top 1% — and to incarcerate and deport as many as possible along the way.

Are you at #Socialism2025 and call Minnesota home? Hit me up to join a little MN socialist signal chat. I'd love to get connected with more folks from home and bring our learnings and connections back. #Socialism @socialismconference.org

Once again, this is a massive public jobs program for fascists.

This bill was never just about tax cuts and gutting social services. It's about investing our collective resources in violence and using state power to spread fear and destroy solidarity. We need to resist this with all we've got.
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
