Yale Law School never beating the âthey donât teach law at Yaleâ allegations
Jesus Christ, even for her, this is low.
Was it a dark and stormy night?
Yâall this is absolutely wild. You need to read this article. Coordinated targeting of firefighters on a 10% contained wildfire for immigration enforcement under the pretense of *padding their time cards*. This is insane.
Epstein abuse survivor says Epstein's "biggest brag" was his connection to Donald Trump.
Get âem. The OP was so dumb. I hear plenty of gunfire in rural MN that indicates poaching, recklessness, or other asocial behavior.
Here's the Letter to the Editor I was worked up enough to write about Karen Tolkkinen's inane article.

She is so smug. âShooting is a pastime for we who live here.â She should take a look at what gun violence actually looks like in her utopia. From 2018-2021, 73.1% of gun fatalities in Minnesota were suicidesâand suicide rates in rural areas were 1.5 to 2 times higher than urban areas.
Youngest is up next. :)
trump take coffee
Yes, isolated shotgun or rifle fire at certain times of year does sound different. Or target practice and clays. Iâd like to think that most times I can hear the difference. But the idea that rural MN lacks asocial and menacing gunfire isâŚmirthlessly laughable.
Does gunfire sound *that* different out of the metro? Do a bunch of neo-confederates popping off rounds while drunk not send a message of fear? Do lone high power shots outside any season late in the night not tell you that your neighbors donât give a damn about being lawful gun owners?
What a Foux Du Fafa.
Okay. I just came back to this and you arenât calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be

Itâs super valuable to expose my kiddos to expansive feminisms that better represent the broader world.
Obligatory reminder: if you wake up in a room with a bat, you need to get rabies shots, because their bites arenât always detectable! Carry on!
Thank you, @karnythia.bsky.social for writing this, and @naptime.theolive.garden for loaning your copy so that my kiddo could devour it in two days. The kids are gonna be alright.
We can protect and care for our trans communities and we can work to protect our communities from gun violence. Minneapolis is a city with an abundance of compassion and care to offer, and I know that we can do both. We need that care now more than ever.
I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)
Itâs been a few years but Iâm sure this is a plot point in Hotel New Hampshire.
My puppet and I saw you from across the bar and we really like the way you throw your voice.
Two seminal vesicles diverged in a wood, and Iâ I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the deferens.
if you see one of these it is your duty to let it hit you and take a dive that would put a footballer to shame making them a liability seems like the quickest way to get rid of them
You too, can be Christian Ronaldo, for the moment it matters most.

The Milwaukee library is *killing* it in social media. Their entire Wes Anderson inspired TT series...magnificent.
If it gets gendered by listeners, and subjected to sexual harassment by users then I donât know that insisting on âitâ captures the horror.

Republicans keep telling us not to "politicize" these shootings, but that's only because they understand that these shootings were entirely motivated by the political arguments they themselves have been making and entirely facilitated by the political campaign against gun control that they have led.
Love this.
Really hope the state DFL is proud of their work propping up a candidate who is openly going for R votes.
Didnât LMFAO break up acrimoniously? Do we need to fear for Fairchild and Fairborne?
If you donât know about the bonus cow, I donât think you can pursue elected office in MN. It is shared lore and would be part of our citizenship test if we had one.
MAK is actively destroying any transit options that arenât cars with on street parking. So we know what she does.
Does anyone know what Lisa Goodman actually does at her $156,000 per year, Frey political patronage job at the city of Minneapolis? We know she is active collecting donor checks as a part of Frey's PAC. Huh, this seems like it would be controversial to Dems if a Repubs did it
So, rather than fighting back against the Trump admin, @klobuchar.senate.gov @amyklobuchar.com is focused on giving them new internet censorship tools because some idiot made a parody video of her on TikTok.
"Public transit is a service, not a businessâshould public schools have to turn a profit? A powerful transit system can benefit everyone, unless one is so petty as to view the ability of human beings to move from place to place as a zero-sum game to be won" defector.com/doomsday-for...
the whiteness of the charter commission should be a scandal every time they try to do something. itâs honestly ridiculous

I've got some questions.
i am a sucker for the people who fall in happily, because the movement is more important than their particular place in it. I sincerely hope he finds the next opportunity that is the right time and place for him.
if this not stephen miller, why stephen miller shaped?
Yikes. This should be absolutely disqualifying for showing up as a DFL leader.
Or when he accepts fate at the end of Green Knight?

add vanilla and brown sugar, and iced milk is the world's most calming dessert. a tried and true sleepy time treat.
jacket's still on, i'm confused.
oh, that's a whole rabbit hole to fall into. There is a long standing fascination with "restoring" Christendom back original factory settings, but it's just photocopies of photocopies all the way down. And occasional bursts of cleverly designed fakes that are immediately photocopied in series.
That a metro transit cop is blocking the bike lane feels particularly on the nose.
And who is statuesque and who is scary is always racialized.
The Minneapolis police officer who fatally shot Amir Locke â and, until recently, led MPDâs use-of-force training â is not the only trainer whose record has raised concerns over the departmentâs commitment to changing its culture.
I canât say it enough: U.S. culture is scam culture. It pervades everything we do. We donât notice it because itâs the water we swim in. A party would do well to remind everybody how awful this is and propose to fix it.
We can always be working on our mane gains
Canât heart this enough times.
This is why Charlottesville melted down its Lee statue. If the statue is removed and simply put in storage, it remains what @artcrimeprof.bsky.social calls âAmericaâs strategic racism reserve.â
it has been said over and over but itâs worth reiterating in the face of this horrifying decision: RFK is quite literally joining the war on cancer on the side of cancer
Gotta keep a backup account for that kind of spelunking.
This is how you remind me that Nickelback exists?
The exonerative tense appears in headline.
Oh those were some very satisfying blocks.
anyone in ramsey county have any luck getting information out of choi's office? trying to get information on why prosecution was declined for a case, and they simply won't respond.
Just gonna put those in the icebox, and eat them tomorrow for breakfast. Theyâll be so sweet and delicious and cold.
Sounds like youâre not getting the benefit of Camel mildness for your T-Zone.
Labor means solidarity down the block and around the world. Chris is doing amazing work.
Senate Democrats could have united behind Mangi and called out the GOP smear against him as religious bigotry. Instead, ~3 Dems decided to buy into that smear (and Schumer declined to fight), and now Bove has a 3d Circuit seat. There's an obvious lesson here...
I purchased several books for Xmas gifts based on bsky last year.
A student of mine who was out running asked MPD not to park in the bike lane and sidewalk near the U one November. They cuffed him, put him in the backseat, rolled the windows down, and dumped him at Broadway & Lyndale.
Fact Check: Glenn Kessler is not a journalist but actually a credulous hack, so we give this two Pinocchios.

Relatedly, I think editorâs bylines should appear under writerâs bylines.
The new hope mayor being the former MPD âmedical eventâ spokesman isâŚsomething.
What do you think it would take for your news desk colleagues to treat police claims with healthy skepticism?
"This was the largest manhunt in MN State History" but the suspect escaped after police witnessed him murder someone, escaped to both his known residences and was walking around North Mpls with a giant cowboy hat on. Stop listening to these stenographers feeding you hagiography.

Pretty sure this is what the Bible talks about when saying that mixing things makes them ritually unclean.
The incarceration of the mobile poor, homeless and mentally ill has long been connected to the policing of "foreigners", broadly conceived incl. Black and Indigenous people. Below are some reading suggestions for 19th century.
If you want people to save you, be worth saving. And say bribery when you mean bribery.
Itâs nasty work as a white person to see that expressed and then dive in to police how she said it. Especially when sheâs got plenty of other bullshit thatâs right there for criticism! Like, pick anything else, my dude.
Iâm not touching on the how she said it, see my previous point. But the sting of the views youâre holding up to ridicule is that recent, East African communities != communities that arrived primarily via the Great Migration. And thatâs objectively true: those are very different experiences.
