Take a moment to look at the inhumanity captured in this extraordinary photo running on the front page of tonight's Minneapolis @StarTribune. It shows federal immigration agents immobilizing a protester on the ground and spraying chemical irritant directly into his face. The scene reminds me of the brutality used against civil rights protesters in the 1960s. We look back at those old photos and wonder how the authorities could have behaved so savagely; many years from now, young Americans will look at these photos from 2026 and wonder how anyone could have justified shooting a woman in the head as she tried to drive away, arresting 5-year-old schoolchildren on the street, or holding a man down and spaying chemicals into his face. Thanks to the Star Tribune reporters and photographers for documenting this work; they create accountability, they make democracy work, and they make all of us in journalism proud.

One of the best ways to fight fascism is with humor. I'm a super big fan of the Portland costumes and naked bike rides. Go Portland! youtube.com/watch?v=bw5zxd…

Thank you @kenklippenstein for your reporting on the Tesla thanksgiving crash.

People in California and New York pay 20% of federal taxes and have 4 Senators. People in 21 states--AK ID UT MT WY ND SD NE KS OK IA MO AR LA MS AL TN KY IN WV SC--pay 15% of federal taxes and have 42 Senators. What's that old saying? Oh yeah, taxation without representation.

Search recorded its highest ever traffic in 25 years during the final of #FIFAWorldCup , it was like the entire world was searching about one thing!

All my life I’ve tried to use music to bring people together. Yet it saddens me to see how misinformation is now being used to divide our world.   I’ve decided to no longer use Twitter, given their recent change in policy which will allow misinformation to flourish unchecked.

Encouraging news

'The more, the merrier' is an example of a comparative correlative. The construction is formed through the pair 'the... the...' in Modern English - the two come from Old English 'þȳ... þȳ...' and are therefore relics of the instrumental, an extinct grammatical case of English.

Donald Trump on Wednesday had dinner with Nick Fuentes, an antisemite and prominent white supremacist, advisers to the former president conceded. Also at the dinner at Mar-a-Lago was Kanye West, who has also been condemned for making antisemitic statements.nyti.ms/3tXTwGi

First, @RepMTG and now, @realDonaldTrump hanging around with this anti-Semitic, pro-Putin, white supremacist. This isn’t complicated. It’s indefensible.
