It will never stop pissing me off how much trump is going to walk away from this presidency as a “real” billionaire in a way he never was before, and it is going to be solely because of the public office

The fight to save the BWCA now moves to Minnesota. Take 2 min: Tell MN DNR to cancel Twin Metals leases. Call MN legislators to oppose sulfide mining upstream. Here's the details. www.friends-bwca.org/tell-mn-...

You're seeing how the US right wing and center commentariat are downplaying the negative effects of Orban's reign and this is a preview of how they will approach Trump's regime.

Friendly reminder. 🩵💙

July 21 1935: The Führer orders a new reception hall and ballroom to "entertain foreign diplomats" at the Chancellery. Underneath the dance floor is an air raid shelter. A 2nd deeper bunker is built next to this in 1944, where he would spend his last days as the Reich collapsed.

Environmental advocates and opponents of a proposed mine near the Boundary Waters vowed to continue fighting after the U.S. Senate voted on to repeal a mining ban near the protected wilderness.

Congress overturns ban on mining near the Boundary Waters minnesotareformer.com/2026/04/15/c...

God fucking dammit. The Boundary Waters National Park is now open for mining on its borders. God fucking dammit. May everyone who voted for this have sulphur contaminate their water.

if you're also in the "too many fires, not enough oxygen" camp my proposed theme song is "I'm looking for a gas mask baby, a gas mask... yeah yeah yeah" to the tune of www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQL-...

I'm about to deliver my closing remarks in opposition to a measure that would allow toxic copper-nickel sulfide mining in the watershed of the Boundary Waters. Tune in.

TIL Bluesky has reginos.

Not only are the bulb flowers blooming, but the serviceberry bushes & rose bush from last season's planting both seem to have survived winter! Buds are budding!

There are currently about a dozen active threats to the continuation of gender affirming care - both for youth *and* adults - nationwide. None likely that would outright ban it, but many that could make it very difficult to access. Let's talk about it. 🧵 www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Republicans: there are no pronouns in the bible The bible, when Jesus announces his name and pronouns:

Looking to pursue Canadian citizenship by descent but finds the research part daunting? I have full Ancestry.com access until July, so I can pull documents for you. I will do this for any queer person living in a hostile state and all trans people in any state for free.*

Hard to think of anything that will matter more, long term, in Minnesota than making as many of these relationships as possible deepen and last

Hey, so ICE is still kidnapping and disappearing people in the United States. Just because they got quieter about it doesn't make it okay. Abolish ICE. Chinga la Migra.

TWIN CITIES AND THE GREATER MINNESOTA AREA. I have a request. If you are down to share. Could you drop an instance of something that has happened since the beginning of Metro Surge that solidified for you that we are in fact gonna win and Neighborism is the Future? I have some. want to hear yours!

John of Patmos: In my book I invented the Antichrist as a cautionary tale. Modern evangelicals: At long last we can worship the Antichrist from the classic book Don't Worship The Antichrist.

With mutual aid efforts running dry, it’s crucial more than ever to pause evictions and save lives. We aren’t going to let a veto keep us from fighting for more time for our neighbors. Testify at the Committee of the Whole on Tuesday, April 21st at City Council Chambers (350 S 5th St Minneapolis)

Our community continues to face an extreme housing crisis cause by Operation Metro Surge. Recent reports by Homeline show that eviction filings are up by 18% in Minnesota compared to this time last year. I am proud to bring forward an extension of the 30 pre-eviction notice period to 45 days.

The two hardest problems in Computer Science are 1. Human communication 2. Getting people in tech to believe that human communication is important

I just solved a huge mental block I'd been struggling with for many months, which has caused tons of friction ripples. It is hard to live in a world where it takes some folks longer to come up with systems for living. But part of how I am learning how to live is to accept my pace & honor it #adhd

>wait I can't answer this doodle poll till I create an account for the community space which means I need to finalize how I'm handling 4 custom domains & their email aliases but WAIT, what if I use axes to see within+across emails (domains = separation of concerns; alias categories cut across) #adhd

I'm donating the proceeds from my loon products to The Wilson Foundation, who's organizing a rent relief for those affected by ICE. The loon print is already on my webstore, and the sticker is part of my upcoming Birdtober 2025 Stickers campaign. Links below! 1/2 #BirdArt #BSNM #SciArt

In a new short documentary, Zeteo returned to the Twin Cities to see how Operation Metro Surge is still affecting Minnesotans. Watch the full film: zeteo.com/p/donald-tru...

this is a boring take but if we want this from a Dem President in 2029 we need to deliver the type of huge legislative majority Magyar just achieved and not the razor-thin one that Biden was forced to work with.

[Whenever I find a helpful or cool video on YouTube that is 12+ years old and has <100k views] This is the kind of CULTURE we should CHERISH

How did I not know about Joanna Lumley’s travel/history documentaries before?! Utterly delightful!

Evictions are up (over 60% in March), and the only reason the eviction rate wasn’t even higher was because of massive mutual aid efforts across the city. We still have a gap of $13,000. Please share our gofundme widely and please donate again, if you can. 💵 🌼 🥰 🏠 www.gofundme.com/f/support-mi...

A new study shows that Black women outpace every other group of women in workforce participation. Yet they are still paid less & retire in poverty at twice the rate of white women. This is a system. It is long past time this country started carrying them the way they have carried us.

It doesn't get any newer than the grape hyacinth that always seems to arrive so fast you can hear them pop. Maybe it's just that they're the first purple thing that makes me love them so much. #BlueSkyArtShow theme is #New all day Saturday. Link to the feed in comments. #Photography #BloomScrolling

Continuing my "meta" arc, this time I'm talking about why its worth reading academic books even if you are not an academic. Also why I think a lot of the criticisms against academic works don't hold up, and how the line between pop and academic work isn't always clear cut. #medievalsky #history

I hate the term “self-deport” so much. What it actually is is “fleeing the country to avoid government persecution.” Just like terms like “enhanced interrogation” aka “torture” it obscures what is happening and I hate how willing media outlets are to use those sanitized terms.

Minnesota ‼️😡👇🏼 The build up here at Whipple is telling us something is going on‼️😡👇🏼

🚨🚨 ICE buildup at Whipple! @startribune.com @frederickmelo.bsky.social @governorwalz.mn.gov @ag.state.mn.us @senatedfl.bsky.social @mnhousedfl.bsky.social

They are still here, and we still track them out of the Whipple. Lower numbers means it is harder to get witnesses to the abductions but they do still happen. This isn't over.

MPLS: suggestions for a cafe to work at tomorrow (on the early side). I usually go to 5 Watt but want to try someplace new -- anywhere south of downtown but north of Richfield. Outlets are nice but not necessary.

MN folks: I highly recommend the Modern Art & Politics in Germany 1910–1945 exhibit up at Mia right now. The parallels to our current times are striking. My main takeaway was this: if you think placating fascists and leaning more and more to the right will save you, you’re in for a rude awakening.

Schumer and Jeffries both should be impeached from any leadership. These guys dont give a single fuck about their own constituancy, american democracy, or the millions of Iranian lives in the balance. The president threatened to commit nuclear genocide. This is simple.
