Just realizing that I got Halloween spirit week at daycare mixed up and sent my 3 year old in Mummy PJs today when that actually starts next week…

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation Depraved. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

My 7y/o just said “Trump is worse than Mayor Humdinger!” #elementaryschoolzinger #IYKYK

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

“Before the Georgetown roundtable, El Paso Bishop Mark Seitz told RNS he is questioning whether Catholics can, in good conscience, join ICE.” “The bishop advised Catholics considering joining ICE that ‘you can never attempt to turn off your conscience.’” religionnews.com/2025/09/12/c...

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

The messages show high-level officials in the Trump administration discussing the possible deployment of the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, an infantry force that has dropped into combat zones in both World Wars, Vietnam and Afghanistan.

My 7y/o got off the bus today and immediately exclaimed, “Mama isn’t it fall?? IT’S STEAMING! We had extra recess and I felt like a hot dog!”

Minnesota will remember Kari Dziedzic as one of the most productive members of the legislature our state has ever seen. This bridge honors her legacy of service, and dedication to her neighbors, the city of Minneapolis, and Minnesota.

Kari Dziedzic connected neighbor to neighbor, city to state, legislator to legislator. She believed deeply in public service, worked tirelessly to improve the lives of everyone around her, and spent years advocating for this very bridge that will now carry her name.

Warren: "Knock 15 million people off their coverage, drive up the cost for everyone else, close rural hospitals -- that's the Republican plan, because you know what the real heart of it was? They gave away a trillion dollars to the billionaires. That was the part that matters to them."

Quick Kari Dziedzic story that came to mind today, my youngest’s birthday. The week of my due date Kari and I kept playing phone tag, but we really needed to talk! We were in the middle of hiring her a new LA. I called her at 10 AM and it went to voicemail, she texted that she’d call me back.

It’s only Tuesday. Have you heard about this? Shocking

Imagine having a governing trifecta and letting the government shut down. Couldn’t be me! (And couldn’t be Kari Dziedzic, Melissa Hortman and Tim Walz leading the Minnesota Democratic trifecta in 2023 🤷🏻‍♀️).

The Senate DFL has been working to find compromises to prevent gun violence and protect our communities. We need Republicans to come to the table. #specialsession #gunviolenceprevention #mnleg

pete hegseth, who you will recall has been accused of domestic abuse and sexual assault, has announced a new policy by which you cannot file anonymous complaints of mistreatment. sex criminal solidarity.

Trump promoted a QAnon conspiracy theory in a AI-generated Fox News report on Truth Social

It was 54° when my kids got on the bus this morning and it’s 86° now. The chance that they have misplaced their jacket they wore in the morning is approaching 100%.

Hakeem Jeffries twisting a huge dial labeled “appeasement” back and forth as he anxiously looks out at a crowd of consultants, waiting for them to boo or clap

YouTube will offer creators a way to rejoin the streaming platform if they were banned for violating COVID-19 and election misinformation policies that are no longer in effect, its parent company Alphabet said.

Advancing fascism for the clicks.

It’s funny how often grifter pseudoscience results in “answers” that blame, punish, and control women, isn’t it?

Just thinking about how the Wellstone memorial in 2002 got too campaigny and the backlash led to Walter Mondale losing that Senate seat a couple weeks later. But now this is a thing that happens.

I do not understand how they STILL have not color matched his hand makeup.

I’ve been having constant muscle twitches in my eyelids lately and I googled the causes just to refresh my memory. - Stress - Too much caffeine - Dehydration - Not enough sleep Checks out. It’s a wonder my entire body isn’t twitching at this point.

Live your life in such a way that, when you die, people directly quoting you does’t sound like a personal attack on your character.

People are getting fired just for posting verbatim what Charlie Kirk said.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

You do not in fact have to praise the guy who said homeless people should be murdered with lethal injections and then apologized four days later to save his job. Let's get a grip here.

The whole running gag of the Emmys is taking money out of a charity donation if winner speeches go over 45s, and the moment going most viral thus far came from a speech after the 45s mark. Painfully dumb.

Bringing my daughter to a birthday party and my toddler wanted to go: Me: Sorry baby, it’s only for 7 year olds. 10y/o son: Or is it for Six Sevennn year olds?

New research estimates that as many as 2.2 million more people could die of tuberculosis if U.S. cuts to foreign aid become permanent.

In Minnesota we're clear: Vaccine access saves lives, and ensures kids can go to school, seniors stay healthy, and Minnesotans stay safe. We won't let Trump and RFK Jr's abuse of power and attack on public health put Minnesotans at risk.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

"i will never stop murdering people"

Don’t worry guys, my suburb just opened a new car wash. Everything‘s gonna be alright.

On the shuttle back from the State Fair with my kids today I found myself thinking, “Well, at least we didn’t get shot.” What a great way of living we have here.

Sen. Zaynab Mohamed in Minneapolis today: “We cannot shield our children with our eyes closed and hands behind our back.” youtube.com/shorts/K3rg_...

How do we put our children on the bus this morning? How is it that we are constantly asked to do this?

Today, after a long day of fielding media in the wake of the Annunciation School shooting I went to a Back to School BBQ with my own elementary kids. At one point the “DJ” turned on K-Pop Demon Hunters, and 50+ kids sang along at the top of their lungs, jumping up and down all together.

An awful day. There have been far too many awful days.

Driving along with my 9 year old and he hits me with, “Mama, why have we been at war before?” Buddy I’m just trying to get to swimming lessons here oh my god

We are not a rational people when it comes to state shape and letter recognition. An old one from Twitter:

the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.

can't have bad numbers if there are no numbers
