when something scary happens to ilhan i think about this photo. you’d never know from how brave she is that she isn’t seven feet tall. we’ve all got to have her back, because she isn’t just some character on capitol hill, she’s a real human, with real children, who deserves to be safe in her home.
me and ilhan and i am big and she is tiny

Trump is using his position to threaten, silence, and intimidate his opponents. He has repeatedly attacked Somali Americans and Minnesotans. And it's no coincidence that this raid comes 3 weeks before an election. This is an incredible abuse of the power we give to presidents.

Why can’t we have a decent life working 40-50 hours a week? As soon as you figure out a way to make a dollar more, they’re going to take it away from you.

As completely deranged and fucked up and wrong as he is, I gotta say it is stressful to have the damn president of the United States constantly attacking my state of Minnesota, sending violence, calling for violence, putting all lives at risk, killing our neighbors. Like it really takes a toll.

For nearly two hours, about two dozen rescue kittens with names like Lottie Dottie, Bendy Wendy and Mouth Trap romped through the Sea Life aquarium at the Mall of America.

Orphaned kittens meet sharks and stingrays on an aquarium field trip at the Mall of America
A pair of kittens gazed up through the aquarium's shimmering blue waters as a (relatively) enormous fish passed overhead. One kitten stared transfixed through the glass while the other, unfazed, was more interested in darting around playfully.

The City Council just passed this resolution asking the Hennepin County Sheriff and University of Minnesota to take down all of their flock cameras. Seems like a no-brainer issue that would be a unanimous vote right? Council Members Rainville, Vetaw, Shaffer, and Palmisano voted no.
Calling on Hennepin County and the University of Minnesota to terminate the use of Flock Safety cameras used as license plate reader cameras.
Whereas, the City of Minneapolis government does not own or operate Flock Safety cameras, but residents of the city have called on their elected leaders to take any and all actions to stop the proliferation of Flock Safety cameras and ban their usage; and
Whereas, the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) and the University of Minnesota have deployed Flock Safety automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras throughout Hennepin County and the city of Minneapolis; and
Whereas, a Star Tribune investigation in July reported that federal immigration enforcement agencies, such as ICE, had the means to access Flock Safety data, despite Minnesota law mandating that ALPR data only be shared for criminal investigations; and
Whereas, Flock Safety ALPR technology captures and retains detailed data on the movements of every vehicle that passes each camera, regardless of whether the vehicle's occupants are suspected of any crime, creating a comprehensive surveillance record of residents' daily movements; and
Whereas, communities across Minnesota including Duluth, Isanti County, Sherburne County, West St.
Paul, Saint Paul, Columbia Heights, Brooklyn Park, and Shorewood -have ended or paused their use of Flock Safety technology in recent months, citing cost, erosion of public trust, and concerns over how the data is accessed and shared; and
Whereas, for months, residents throughout the city of Minneapolis have been organizing against Flock Safety in their neighborhoods, and some have been successful in their efforts to remove Flock Safety cameras from their local streets; and
Whereas, the City of Minneapolis government does not own or operate Flock Safety cameras, but residents of the city have called on their elected leaders to take any and all actions to stop the proliferation of Flock Safety cameras and ban their usage;

the funniest thing about the "we don't trust the media" people is that they will trust literally anyone else. like, if you have an image and text, they'll buy it. shaking keys at babies type logic.

Genuinely an insane paragraph from Sam Alito. “Voter fraud is real and scary and we have to stop it, so the fact that implementing Trump’s mail ballot rule will disenfranchise millions is legally irrelevant.” Brain melted. A right-wing podcaster in a robe. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
___, (slip op., at 9) (internal quotation marks omitted).
As for the equities, the Government has a strong interest
in enforcing the rule, and implementing it will also “en-
hance the visibility of Federal Ballot Mail” in order to better
detect election fraud. 91 Fed. Reg. 54972. On the other side
of the balance, the plaintiff States invoke the practical ef-
fects of implementing the rule close to the midterm elec-
tions. I take that problem very seriously, but it is not
enough to convince me to deny the application.
First, as the District Court acknowledged, the States dis-

i visited alex pretti’s memorial after it was vandalized overnight with motor oil. a lot of the items have been removed for cleaning, you can see the empty space where they had been. a woman was putting out fresh flowers and that area seems unaffected, thankfully
