I must inform you that The Many Deaths of Laila Starr is going to be incredible. If you’re bumping into this post on the MSP feed, and especially if you’ve never been to an opera before, get you some tickets. Message me for a discount code.

Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

The Minneapolis Police Department misused police coaching. 70% of Internal Affairs and 38% of Office of Police Conduct Review coaching cases in the historical backlog shouldn’t have been coaching at all. 1/ www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Report: Minneapolis misused police coaching
The report was issued by Effective Law Enforcement for All, the group responsible for monitoring the policing agreement between the city of Minneapolis and the state's human rights department.

Post one photo of a painting that you took with your very own hands.
A photo of the Rembrandt painting “Belshazzar’s Feast,” depicting the biblical monarch startled at his banqueting table by the appearance of the glowing Hebrew text, written by a disembodied hand, reading “Thou art weighed in the balance and found wanting.” The painting hangs in the Royal Gallery in London.

Beautiful things happened today as we toured the downtown ice-hotels. Encouragement came from the Iranian demonstrators, from chance passersby, from restaurant staff. We will win.
The Singing Resistance March fills the Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis as it moves north.The Singing Resistance March returns to Westminster Presbyterian Church to close the demonstration with reflection. The crowd streams from the Nicollet Mall through the open front door of the sanctuary.

@governorwalz.mn.gov, no doubt your team is seeing plenty of messages on here asking you for action. Don’t worry, I’m about to pile on. Some want you to use the state’s National Guard or even bring back the Minnesota Home Guard to ensure that ICE cannot operate lawlessly. 1/n

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

Nor ever forgive. The fundamental social contract is broken. No action of this federal government is legitimate, and state officials like @governorwalz.mn.gov need to treat their interventions as presumptively hostile.

Shaving products with cartridges are wasteful and needlessly expensive. I love the Leaf and Henson razors I use, and their new blades are extremely cheap and perfectly recyclable.

Was at a rehearsal for a joyous upcoming concert when I heard that a local church, one with deep connections to the ensemble, has seen their usual Advent Sunday crowds shrink to 10% of their usual size. And for the ones who are going, there is a weekly vigil as volunteers scour the neighborhood 1/

My daughter’s school bus was delayed this morning because armed ICE agents, some masked, were in the middle of 15th Ave in Cedar Riverside. So why wouldn’t ICE just get out of the way when the bus came? Perhaps they were busy harassing Somali-Americans, who are overwhelmingly citizens. But... (1/4)

I’m doing Mozart’s La Clemenza di Tito with a wonderfully talented group of people. It’s got themes of friendship, politics, and the struggle of a compassionate nature when confronted with betrayal. It’s got a wonderful cast of singer-actors who are bringing rich insights to their roles. Come see!

As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.
