I am genuinely curious as to why people still believe there is going to be a presidential election in 2028. They've already mentioned multiple times ways around this, and they have always followed up on these threats. I think it is naïve to think otherwise.

I've seen several explanations of Ranked Choice Voting, and Jazz's is the first LaCroix-based explanation.

Hey Resisters! Order your No Kings apparel before 10/3! Make sure you have plans for the 10/18 march! www.texteijl.com/no-kings

9/ I had launch with Paulina Borsook last month in Oakland. Her life is hard, but she still has a lot to say! She's trying to raise funds to get a new version of the book reissued on the Internet Archive. Some of her friends have a running GoFundMe to support her: www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

When asked if she believes her sister is being targeted for her beliefs,… “Absolutely,” Lowry said. “They want to make an example of them. They want people to look at them and see that this is what happens when you speak up and when you show dissent.” thebarbedwire.com/2025/09/24/n...

Eleanor Bader wrote a lovely review of Read This When Things Fall Apart.

I wrote about one man's quest to not have to ride in pitch black darkness through South Minneapolis. Modern day Don Quixote here, except the windmills are lampposts stripped of copper. www.minnpost.com/cityscape/20...

Let's go, Peggy! So excited about this endorsement!

This money should be going into high-speed rail (and normal-speed rail) rather than this bubble

this musician and elder I came on this trip with, Douglas Ewart said “we gotta stop resisting and start persisting. keep working, don’t get slowed down by their bullshit. you gotta do judo, use their strength against them.” douglas might have the coolest vibe of anyone i’ve ever met #ClimateWeekNYC

There are good and solid reasons why photographers love to shoot quays and docks like in this lovely sunrise shot

Do not comply in advance.

We need to educate the world about ASD and the ways neurodiversity adds to the lives of everyone. Looking for a “cure” and looking for a “cause” both miss the real science and the real history and the real legacy of all of us … neuronormal, autistic, ADHD, & other beautiful brains.

I just listened to Neurotribes and improving my understanding of the history of autism makes right now harder but I’m also glad I just learned a bunch. It really did make it harder though.

hey #Minneapolis! Friday, November 7 2025, @7pm, I'm speaking about my new book Tigers Between Empires at the beautiful Museum of Russian Art, with a signing to follow. Would love to see you! There will be tea. Details: tmora.org/event/an-eve... 💙📚

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

I am at my elderly dad’s house (he has PD) to help him because my elderly mom had a dr apptmt & is then going to Costco. She left a bit before 1 pm and will probably not be home until around 5:30 or 6. He has been staring at FindMy ever since she left … not dozing, not watching TV…

dudes rock

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

i just feel bad for everybody getting raptured before they get to see kimmel’s return episode

Disabled people are not expendable Autistic people are not expendable We aren’t lazy, we didn’t choose this & aren’t getting a free ride. Disability is not a moral failing It happens to almost everyone eventually Join us & fight for disability justice Your future self will thank you

If anyone in the Kingfield vicinity knows a kid/teen (white, blonde or brown hair) who has this hoodie with matching pants (could be any light color), and a backpack that is light colored with black trim on the straps, that kid is going to get himself in real trouble if someone doesn’t intervene.

Don't Panic

I am “the decline of the United States as a major world power”. We actually read Hal Lindsey’s book in my youth sunday school class in a pretty mainline presbyterian church, before many of you were born (mid-1970s). That seems so crazy to me now.

No ICE agent will see the light of heaven

I forgot that I owed a couple months' utility bills due to the absolutely dumb way the city handled updating their autopay system and so I had a mild heart attack when my payment was triple what it normally is (If you live in MPLS, go make sure your autopay is configured!)

ICE grabs a 5yo US citizen as a hostage to attempt to detain her father, who has been in the US for 22 years and has an active asylum claim. Local police rescued the girl and returned her to her family. That's what's become of the USA.

And I see many Minnesota Indivisible chapters on Bluesky: @mnindivisible.bsky.social @indivisiblemn03.org @indivisiblerochmn.bsky.social @indivisiblekandico.bsky.social @winonaindivisible.bsky.social @indv-carver-mn.bsky.social @indivisible-ir.bsky.social Are there more?

takeactionmn.org looks promising; they have a zoom meeting on October 14. But no Bluesky presence? Anyone know?

The obsession with autism absolutely enrages me. It wasn’t even defined as it currently exists until relatively recently. How can you adequately even proclaim increases when the way it is labeled is so recent and has changed so much!

Outside saying goodby to summer 2025 and hello to the fall.

The Neoliberals are going to pull out all of the stops to try and maintain their power no matter the outcome as it becomes clear neoliberalism is a dead ideology and democratic socialism are the future. This is also The reason we are seeing increasingly right wing positions from the Liberals

Lol, no

Also, plan to celebrate this milestone by going for a walk from 1 pm to 2 pm … a late lunch

oh hell yea

Neville: still available!

Today: Tylenol causes autism Tomorrow: Advil causes diabetes Thursday: Band-aids cause leprosy Next Saturday: Mylanta knocks you up

Again this morning I am looking to Norway for instruction in giving my kids & grandkids (& me too if I live a decade or 2) a better economy, a better government, & a better safety net. They did it without violence. They did it with united action over years. The results have lasted 85 years so far

an easy disguise: all you’d need are some black masks

This is a good article, showing the Roberts Court as a source of quite a lot of our collective cynicism and anger about government.

The media mergers triggering the Jimmy Kimmel suspension are even bigger than I realized, with Nexstar + Tegna potentially more than doubling the current 39% broadcast market participation limit up to 80% youtu.be/ohPToBog_-g

I'm not just "tapping the sign", I am gesturing and scream reading it so everyone can see.

And I just wrapped up my Sunday chores and left my parents’ house to drive to my own. I am going to miss having to listen to DJT. TBTG

This is illegal, unsafe and very antisocial behavior (parking in a curb protected bikelane AND keeping the door open to fully block the lane). Do better, USPS.

I am here (at my parents’ house to help my elderly parents) until around 5 today. I am still hearing the Charlie Kirk funeral in the background. RFK jr is talking now. We have had the complete cast of characters. I heard my mom say “Interesting that Tucker Carlson really gave the best ….
