The first paragraphs of this article are big news (I think?? IANAL): the FBI tried to shut MN out of the investigation of ICE’s murder of Renee Good, which almost certainly is the start of a cover-up. Minnesota initially threw up its hands and said “well that sucks.”
Today we learn that Minnesota and Hennepin County are still gathering evidence themselves, apparently independently of the FBI. My hope is that this is in pursuit of state charges, in defiance of the Trump-controlled FBI.

Following an intense backlash this morning,
the White House has now taken down Trump’s Truth Social repost
of a video showing a racist clip
⚠️depicting the Obamas as apes.
The post was up for 12 hours.
As we reported earlier, a few hours ago the White House had initially tried to brush off the outrage,
defending Trump’s repost as “an internet meme video”.
Politicians from both parties have this morning condemned the post
and urged Trump to remov…

A Professor at Toronto Metropolitan University:
“The Government of Canada could easily decide that it was going to use LinkedIn or Instagram or wherever it posts, and journalists would switch to following them there because they want to access what they’re saying,” he continued. “There was zero audience for Truth Social when
Trump created and started using it, but the audience went to the politician. Carney and his government could take a principled position by leaving X and its horrible spawn, Grok, and his audience of journalists and politicos would go with them.”
“Apparently, our political leaders simply choose not to.”
YES!! #Fediverse #SocialWeb #Mastodon
As always a huge thank you for the Senator's @… ongoing activism. It WILL happen. (and by it I mean, government going to the social web... Bluesky is just a temporary blip until it too goes fascist or we get some proper digital sovereignty laws in place.)

As the Red Army was pushing into Berlin, Hitler tried to order the destruction of German Industry. It was not simply to prevent the allies from continuing, but also to punish the German people for failing him. The film Downfall portrays him believing that the German people had shown themselves to be weak and that they deserved to die.
Trump has always had some Hitler energy. It's been reported multiple times that he keeps a collection of Hitler speeches by his bed. As he threatens Greenland, everyone wants to jump to compare that to Poland. The thing is, he doesn't have Hitler 1939 energy. He has Hitler 1945 energy.
Everyone knows he's a pedophile and a rapist. He's a loser and he'll do anything to distract from that. He would literally start WWIII if he thought it would give him a few more days. He's a coward who's afraid to face what he's done. But he's a coward with nuclear weapons.
I just hope the people around him value their life more than they are loyal to him.

"The Supreme Court Is Failing at Its Most Important Job" by #nyt "In many of those instances, however, the Supreme Court later overruled the lower courts, allowing Mr. Trump’s power grabs. […] The justices have wholly denied only one of Mr. Trump’s 32 emergency petitions in his second term"

Cinemas, unions sound alarms over Netflix deal
For Netflix, having films launch on its platform allows the company to attract new users, as well as keep existing customers engaged.
But that stance has led to a testy relationship between Netflix and some exhibitors, which have pushed in general for more films to be released on the big screen.
Theater owner trade group Cinema United has voiced staunch opposition to the deal, saying it represented an “unprecedented threat to…
