I'm obviously glad this bill failed as it was lousy policy. But amid all the attention paid to the Johnson and his sniveling, obsequious mendacity, we really shouldn't lose sight of what an utterly incompetent whip operation Tom Emmer runs.


Perhaps people might consider mailing all their elementary and middle school trophies (gold only, of course) to the white house to see if that giant hole of a ... whatever it is ... might finally find some satisfaction (as if).


A federal judge has barred DHS/ICE/CBP from arresting peaceful observers & protesters in Minneapolis unless there’s suspected criminal activity or obstruction.

The order also prohibits retaliation, pepper spray/nonlethal munitions against peaceful demonstrators, and traffic stops of people simply following agents.

U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez said her order will stay in effect until the operation concludes or “conditions change such that it is no longer necessary.”👊 #press

The Twin Cities invasion is the most important domestic activity of the Trump administration right now. They clearly think so, and are showing it through the level of resources they’re committing to it. They’re shooting their shot to a much greater degree than the previous invasions

A few months ago the CFPB's student loan ombudsman wrote an annual report on student loans, required by law. CFPB cut nearly half the report and released it. We got the original report and are publishing it. Here it is, from @emmarjanssen.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy.prospect.org/2026/01/16/s...

We need to all synthesize a variant of socialism adapted to the 21st century Americas.

I am firmly of the belief that Latin American socialism is a beacon for the rest of the world, and that the socialism of the United States should integrate itself with their comrades in Latin America. We need anti-imperialist solidarity.

I believe that it is foolish for US socialism to adopt the policy and strategy of the Nordic Model.

People that advocate that annoy me. They want to have large social wealth funds, but keep the authority structure of employment intact. They want everyone to work for the state instead of working for a private employer. This doesn’t resolve the fundamental rights violations of capitalism nor does it address the efficiency issues capitalism has with public goods and externalities. It’s basically the least imaginative “alternative” possible.

Love the one that says "Pompeii Fun Run, 79 AD". These are historical/hysterical.

Lots of good ones there. I sent the link to my RP group (which includes my historian friend). 🙂




Lawyers on the MN bar (regardless of physical location) are being trained to file snap habeas petitions to keep detainees out of the black hole that is ICE detention/rendition. Such filings are turning out to be surprisingly effective.

This org does not have the bandwidth to set up other states, but is hopeful that other locations will pick up the flag.

Know a lawyer? Send this their way.
