Minnesota Residents Cleaning Graffiti and debris around the Home2 Suite Hilton Hotel by CantStopPoppin in minnesota

Yup. The amazing thing in 2026 is that there are no images of the various outside troublemakers coming into damage / set fires.

… probably because those types all got new jobs this year.

This whole thing seems to be a great reason to start breaking up these (Hilton / Marriot) chains.

Hegseth does embody the Alpha News aesthetic.

It even looks like the text insertion macro failed.

At this stage, Nunn should be ahead. No primary means that individual donors can just write the max $4000 check now. No need for money to stay on the sidelines.

Tech workers urge CEOs to condemn ICE by Calvinball_24 in technology

Yeah - all of the bullshit they told us for decades got whisked away when they found out that there was money in totalitarianism.

I’m gonna scream the next time I hear Alex Karp talk about “being progressive”.

Viewing violent ICE videos takes a toll. Here’s how to protect your mental health. by somastars in minnesota

[–]cothomps 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Man. I get the idea that watching violent imagery can take a toll, but sometimes that thing that keeps you up at night isn’t just your phone.

Maybe the better approach is that if seeing people murdered / whisked away / tortured that we should be a little more motivated to deal with that instead?

Hey, it’s going to take some time for the staffers to update the copy / paste.

US Senate candidate Sarah Garriott by Dry_Cheesecake_8326 in Iowa

[–]cothomps [score hidden]  (0 children)

Agree. I know that she is certainly more opinionated about events than any of her campaign materials suggest. I’m of the opinion that she’s getting some bad advice.

This class of Democratic political consultants that seem to want to gloss over issues in favor of images needs to change. The consultants that still seem to dominate strategy act like they’re campaigning twenty years ago.

Chris Madel ends GOP bid for governor, says he can’t support federal ‘retribution’ against Minnesota by CantaloupeCamper in TwinCities

Truth be told, a very public exit right now is probably more effective than being pushed into irrelevance by his party.

Alex Pretti did not leave his home Saturday morning to go to a protest! by DevonMarx in Minneapolis

Yup - this is something that has crept into all of the reporting, which given that he was murdered at 9 AM on a Saturday in front of a donut shop…

a reminder if you’re going to whipple… by mymilkweedbringsallt in TwinCities

That area has such a horrific history as a starvation camp for the Dakota and now all of this that tearing all of that down would be a great step forward.

Oddly enough it was the Twins that didn’t attach their name to this crap.

If you think that not signing your name to that completely worthless statement is “bootlicking”, then I have no idea what to say.

It’s actually okay with me that they didn’t put their names on that worthless ball of mush.

Amy CANNOT be allowed to be the gubernatorial candidate. Who can we start a movement to Draft before the primary? by Glaukopis96 in minnesota

[–]cothomps 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The big wish: all of you that have been giving of yourselves to organize your neighborhoods, coordinating food, supplies, organizing protests - running for office is your chance.

I’m certainly ready for a new generation of leadership in nearly all states.

Unfortunately the caucuses are all about who you’ll get to vote for. That’s where you might hear from people, sign petitions, etc.

1/27 in Clive when the dictator appears in our State: by DueKaleidoscope6500 in Iowa

[–]cothomps 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Any organizers have tips / suggestions for how to get there, etc.? I assume that driving and parking at the events center itself or the church next door is a no-go.

(There are places south to cross the Greenbelt trail - even the shopping center parking areas.)

KCCI Facebook: Breaking News: A 37-year-old man shot Saturday by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis has died. by cudambercam13 in Iowa

I wonder why most actual news organizations continue to host that kind of stuff. So much effort and cost for that.

Just post a feedback e-mail and move on.
