You’ve heard of the Midas Touch? Well this is like that, but it’s poop. He turns everything into poop.

Turns out it’s easy to stop supporting a sexual assaulter *even when you really want to win an election*

the main thing #metoo did was give people the false impression that most rapists faced accountability, that women were ever really believed

Never let Trump near another sporting event. Ever

@olsenforparks.bsky.social and I got out to look for new dog park locations- we have options and n plus 1 is goal

Brittney Griner just straight shoving players on the ground full force & then acting mad about getting called for it. Girl stop it.

Men like Platner are a dime-a-dozen. Charming and smart and capable on the mic, and also trash. It would behoove the progressive political class in this country to stop lining up behind men with so many red flags. We do not need more abusive men in politics. Stop making room for them.

go trump, get whumped

Trump entered the chat, & ruined everything

"But Bernie endorsed Platner" Bernie is a sweet old man with terrible judgment in candidates, as was the case when he endorsed Fetterman But Bernie is not DSA. He never has been

Lovely city, great bicycle plan rollout as of late. But holy shit has Saint Paul been lethal for bikers this year. RIP. Need protected bike lanes everywhere. kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

Whoever “vetted” Platner needs to be on a blacklist as well.

A bicyclist has died from his injuries more than a week after being hit by an open car door in St. Paul.

The only thing I feel about Mitch Mconnell is joy in the absolute horror he felt when he realized that everything he fought for also ushered in anti-vaccination a thing for which he is deeply deeply opposed.

I’m proud to have the endorsement of 10 out of 10 members of the Minneapolis House legislative delegation for my candidacy for Hennepin County Attorney.

I believe Jenny. Graham Platner should not be Democrats’ nominee for U.S. Senate.

This isn’t a court of law. There’s no inherent legal right to a senate seat. Hope this helps.

In full uniform, Maj. Jason Watson walked up the Capitol stairs on Wednesday carrying a sign saying “Impeach. Convict. Remove.” He held it up for three minutes before he was arrested. Read the full story here: https://wapo.st/4vlLhkF

My statement on Graham Platner:

Cis white men just need to take a seat

I believe in medical privacy I do. But I also think that like being alive and conscious are kind of integral parts to doing your job. Imagine a teacher not turning up to the classroom and her family refusing to say if she's alive.

I don't think it should be legal to hide whether an elected official is conscious and or alive.

This is infuriating to keep seeing ppl say - Platner did not have "great policies" - the organizers and activists and people who have worked on the issues facing our country have great policies. He just adopted them and had a white man face to present the idea as if it was his.

1) Don’t rape women. 2) Don’t vote for/hire/promote/endorse/make excuses for men who rape women.

There’s a reason racism is a great predictor for abusive tendencies and maybe MAYBE RIGHT THE FUCK NOW WE CAN HAVE A REAL CONVO ABOUT IT

I don’t know shit about Maine politics or obscure nazi tattoos but there’s one thing I know a thing or two about and that’s sex. Sex takes two willing participants. Fellas, we need you to stop fucking this up.

Leneal Frazier was the uncle of Darnella Frazier, a bystander who filmed the police murder of George Floyd in 2020 that led to worldwide protests.

Platner’s most enthusiastic backers weren’t banking on there not being additional credible accusations. They were banking on enough people not caring that there were.

This occurred right after my kid finished kindergarten where Philando worked. She learned at 6 that her buddy, ‘Mr. Phil,’ the warm and loving man in her lunchroom, who joked and knew their names, the one with the brightest smile who gave hugs, was killed by a cop. RIP Philando. You deserved better.

10 years ago today Philando Castile was murdered by St Anthony Police Officer Jeronimo Yanez, who never faced criminal consequences and walks free to this day. As do his colleagues who when they showed up didn’t render medical aid to Philando, choosing to console a crying Officer Yanez instead.

There's a part in the book "Careless People" where the author beats Zuck at Settlers of Catan, and he is absolutely wrecked by it. Someone pulls her aside to explain everyone else has been letting him win for years. I think about this a lot re: why tech bros think everyone will love AI chatbots.

The check’s in the mail, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell said when asked about Hennepin County records showing he owes about $48,000 in unpaid property taxes.

Police are asking for help locating a teen who left a group home in Inver Grove Heights Friday and hasn't been seen since.

You can only vote for 1 political party in this primary, so pick a column, and only vote for one party. If you make a mistake, that’s ok, bring to election judge and get a new ballot.

What’s on my ballot? Mn primary- vote on or before Aug 11th. www.sos.mn.gov/elections-vo...

Minneapolis! Do you have your voting plan in place for the Aug 11th primary? Out of town then? Vote early! vote.minneapolismn.gov/voters/vote-...

I personally want to lay a bunch of blame at the door of the fundraising apparatus that means I'm bombarded by begging texts from people who present themselves as "the person running against (GOP incumbent)" whether or not they've won the primary yet.

If you want to donate to campaigns outside your area, donate in the general election or to groups that do organizing, turnout, etc. I don't know which Dem candidate in Maine (or Kentucky or Ohio) has the best shot. You know who might? The Democrats from those states!

The President of the United States is attacking a group of kindergarteners because of the clothes they wore to school.

The amount of people that throw shit out of their cars while they sit in them parked on the street somewhere is absurd.

NO WE ARE NOT RESTARTING AL FRANKEN DISCOURSE ABSOLUTELY NOT FUCK YOU

One of the reasons I have difficulty enjoying (men's) soccer is that, as a pro wrestling fan, I can accept faking injury in a way that fools the ref but is obvious to the audience — but this is a *heel move*. Ric Flair’s gimmick doesn’t work if every single wrestler on the card does the same thing.

"if it really happened, why didn't she file charges, hmmmmm?" buddy do i have news for you about reporting rapes to the police.

Congratulations to @lynxcoachreeve.bsky.social on joining the Hall of Fame!

First Lynx home game since All-Star announcements means new additions to the screens at Target Center

No, respectfully, it's not just "he said/she said." There's evidence of her discussing this with people long before he became a candidate. The detail of her story is credible and plausible. It's strong evidence.

when the NYT story dropped in june, i started sobbing. it was a surprising reaction even to me, given that i’m fortunate to have never experienced intimate partner violence. but i knew in my goddamn soul there was more. there always is. and it was humiliating to be told to fall in line or else.
