Hey Minneapolis people! I just stopped in to Linden Hills Bike Shop for a new light. Business has been light but they are chock full of great bikes at prices lower than local. Or get your bike tuned NOW so it's ready for spring! Owner is great and super helpful!

Every Democrat running for office needs to promise investigations and full prosecutions from top to bottom, remove its funding bloat then break up the agency and distribute its core remaining useful functions across other agencies.

but seriously if you want to know how the Trump Kennedy Center Honors went here’s my report from the night-of

Fani Willis has no more fucks to give‼️🔥💥🔥Listen as she goes scorched earth on State Senator Greg Dolezal (R-GA) who is running for Lieutenant Governor. He’s questioning her about bringing the case against Trump for trying to overturn the 2020 election. This is how it’s done!

Good job Minnesota!

Yet House Republicans just killed the first comprehensive (and bipartisan!!) housing package of the last few DECADES

The effects of the ACIP poisoned recommendations may not be seen clearly at scale for years. But every child that unnecessarily develops HepB-associated chronic liver disease and cancer is the fault of those on that committee, the HHS Secretary, and those that capitulated to put him in power.

Of course they visualize the schedule like this because it elicits a strong emotional reaction—especially among new parents. Let’s add some critical context to this image…

Among other things, the (nebulous but clearly unconstitutional) attack on naturalized US citizens contained in this screed is a significant escalation.

Minneapolis!

In Rhode Island, ICE arrested an intern who worked for a court, and then a judge intervened to say they had the wrong person. All leading to a scene where ICE agents surrounded the judge's car and "threatening to smash in the windows if they did not comply." www.wfla.com/news/judge-i...

This is a good list of ideas, even if the details might prove difficult. www.minnpost.com/metro/2025/1...

This morning federal agents arrested two hard working immigrants on my street because they didn’t have their papers on them, and tried to arrest my neighbor because his green card was in his house rather than on his person. We are now a “show me your papers” state, and it is outrageous. Get angry.

This is literally Nazi shit. This is what the Nazis did. If you support this, you are a Nazi, and if that makes you upset, then STOP BEING A FUCKING NAZI

Which Minneapolis mayoral candidate matches your positions? @sahanjournal.bsky.social projects.sahanjournal.com/meet-your-ma...

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

THIS IS ILLEGAL!!!!

I called Klobuchar's DC office. I hope others will, too. I'm so angry. At this and every other vote that these Senators are making that pretends that these are normal times.

A. Rick Scott is a fraud who committed massive Healthcare fraud. B. You know what would create a "free market" for people to go where they think they will get the best care? Medicare for all. Let people, not insurers and not employers, choose where they go.

Coverage of No Kings in the print MN Star Tribune is terrible. Story is in Section B (State & Region). Number of protesters is "throngs" (not the actual 10s of thousands). Main picture is the start of the Minneapolis protest that shows about 50 people, and a couple dozen more in St. Cloud.

A reminder that Trump and his supporters violently attacked the seat of our democracy in 2021. Same people who are trying to frame "No Kings" protesters as the hate America crowd.

Now Trump is sending $40 BILLION to bailout Argentina. This would fund at LEAST a year of the ACA tax credits millions rely on to afford health care. Meanwhile, Argentina has universal health care.

NEW @motherjones.com: Nobody in that GOP group chat praising Hitler or making racist comments was a “kid,” as JD Vance claimed today I tracked down their ages. (Weirdly, it seems nobody else did.) Eight of the 11 in the group chat range from 24 to 35. Ages of others are unclear. But… no “kids”!

ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility. He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.

Award-winning pain researcher here. This is not something that can be done. Hope this helps.

Just think of how many TT faculty lines, graduate stipends, and resources for teaching and research this kind of money could buy...

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

It’s a Watergate-level crime every damn day in this administration, and Congress is appallingly unwilling to exercise its Article I obligations to check executive branch power. Reprehensible, inexcusable, and indescribably dangerous.

Where are our elected officials on this? @amyklobuchar.com ? @smith.senate.gov ? Where are the Republicans who love to shout about "law and order"??

This is simply obscene. US AG Bondi states here that former Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives (D) Melissa Hortman, her husband, and their dog, were murdered by someone who was anti-fascists (ANTIFA), when they were murdered by a Trump fascist who had a list to kill 42 more democrats

Kristi Noem confronts enemy combatants in the Portland war zone today.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

The MN Star Tribune isn't allowing comments on this, AND the article has virtually no information on school board members across the state who do NOT want to comply with this ridiculous demand. Do better @startribune.bsky.social www.startribune.com/title-ix-tra...

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

When am uninsured person goes to the hospital, who pays? The American taxpayer! When a Medicare patient goes to the hospital, who pays? The American taxpayer!

Fun fact: Even if federal money *was* being spent on Medicaid coverage for undocumented immigrants (it isn’t), the money wouldn’t be “going to illegal aliens.” It would be going to *healthcare providers*…ie, hospitals, doctors, etc. Medicaid enrollees don’t receive the money.

Sanders: These projects have been appropriated. They were signed by a president. It is illegal to rescind them. And to say to people in Vermont, in New York and California, oh, you didn't vote for Donald Trump, we're going to take away funding that was supposed to go to your state… illegal

CNBC: "Very disappointing. It's a weak number. This is private sector jobs for September. The total comes in -32,000. And that was a surprise because economists were looking for an increase of 51,000. Also, the revision was not good. August now showing -3,000 compared to the initial read of 54,000"

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.

In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office. I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.

Republicans run the White House, Congress and Supreme Court on the principle that the only role Dems can play is bailing the GOP out from facing the consequences of their own actions. They expect Dems to clean up after them and save them from voters’ blame, and sadly some Dems want to do just that.

At this point, any Democrat who votes to keep this government open without extracting very serious concessions — RFK’s resignation, ICE rollback, Epstein Files release, etc — will absolutely face a primary challenger who will set fundraising records.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.
