We don't have enough people doing what they can but I am so grateful to those who are. Thank you. Actually taking the time to make the call, send the letter, show up to the meeting, write the check, go to the protests, do actual mutual aid. Thank you.

St. Paul 🤝 electing women Women will hold St. Paul mayor’s office and all city council seats for the first time in its history.

Okay. But can I put stickers on the bottom that say “vote blue”

Senator Mike Lee and Rep Pete Stauber are trying to turn the Boundary Waters into a surveillance zone. #nature #publicland #nationalparks #politics #fdt #mikelee #epa #conservation #science #resist #revolution

This imagined defense by Cheney ("What I Got Right About the Iraq War") from The Onion in 2023 ought to run as a sidebar to every obit that's published this week: is.gd/mzdB9j

Yes. The problem is, most media are Right Wing now. So many ppl hear pretty lies about T/GOP & ugly lies about Dems & vote as if the lies were true. upine.medium.com/the-vast-rea...

The first time I saw a doodoo baggie on the walking path I thought, “were they lost? Are they coming back for it once they find a trash can?” I was that naive. Now I’m the someone who carries the baggie to the trash can. Sometimes this feels metaphorical.

Well well. Look who else is yelling at Democrats to dO sOmEtHiNg

I'm grateful to have the support of neighbors in every part of this city, people who are ready for leadership that reflects our shared values. I hope you'll rank me first for Mayor of Minneapolis on November 4 because we deserve better.

Seen on my little walk through the Kingfield neighborhood: signs for Davis, Hampton and Soren, and a Frey sign propped up in a trash can. Haha

This is pretty great

Watch with me! It’s heating up.

Today's MPR/Star Tribune mayoral debate should be a good one – I'm looking forward to a lively and substantive conversation. You can tune in to MPR today at 3:30 or at noon on Friday to catch it. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

Best bumper sticker EVER

This morning I was reminded of what's at stake for all of us in this election. It doesn't have to be like this. With principled, compassionate leadership, we can do so much better.

Through the Mapping Prejudice project, I learned of this new opportunity: Save Our Signs, archiving photos of interpretive signs at National Parks before they're removed. Anyone can get involved. It's sobering to see what history lessons have already been taken down, but we have to do what we can.

If the impending freeze of SNAP benefits is what has you particularly animated, these questions might help. You can really substitute any issue and ask the same questions of yourself.

Here’s another thing I never subscribed to that I can now proudly say I never will. Really I’m just a big penny-pincher. It’s freeing and satisfying. We got this, friends #cancelspotify

I'm blown away by all the people who showed up to the No Kings Rally today. We can make our democracy work again, and I want to be your mayor to do just that.

One of the most heartwarming things about these protests is that blue dots in red towns are finding their people. A big salute to you brave resisters. Party on!

“We founded Leaving MAGA in 2024 as a safe space for those leaving or questioning the movement. If you walk away, your loved ones will welcome you back. Former MAGA believers now help others heal and reclaim themselves. Leaving isn’t loss—it’s liberation. Join us.” leavingmaga.org/our-story/

Richfield, MN (just south of south Minneapolis) Indivisible has outdone itself again. Looked like well over the 500 that were at June No Kings. Lots of noise from the cars, all cheers, no jeers that I saw.

As if our campaign finance system isn’t broken enough, JD Vance is shamelessly trying to expand the disastrous Citizens United decision, give ultra-wealthy special interests more political power, and facilitate even more corruption.

Just as alarming as the threats is the Professor Watchlist itself. Some of our best educators and researchers are being targeted simply for sharing what they know, for being members of the DSA, or for supporting Bernie Sanders.

Stuff I’m glad I didn’t watch Depressing what passes for journalism these days

There's a whole website for it: isportlandburning.com

I really expected the standard "call this number" blow off... not straight up fascism. They are coming. And they are pumped up for it.

Bit of good news today, my union’s hard-won contract was officially approved. As always, there will still be work to do in defending it. We have to stay vigilant, always. It’s always been like this. For now, I’m just relieved.

It’s up to Minnesota to protect the Boundary Waters minnesotareformer.com/2025/10/08/i...

Since I started advocating with Friends of the Boundary Waters I’ve learned so much, but still so many questions. Who is this funny-looking Trump puppet? And really, Utah? Isn’t the whole state pretty much a national park? Why are they doing this? How much did they get for their souls?

Some spectators held up signs saying “Run fast, you’re in a war zone” or “Your chafing is melting ICE” Trumpers know damn well there are no war zones. I’ve jogged solo through all the “scary” parts of Minneapolis and no Trump supporter has ever expressed concern, including my dumb cousins.

Ice Fishing in Portland

Another earmark of abusive relationships: They will spend far more energy on their concocted battles than on actually setting things right.

Fun spectating at Twin Cities Marathon yesterday. Governor Walz ran the 10-mile with his daughter. Not the first time, he’s run for years. When Runner’s World shared this news on Facebook, the most common comment was “Oh sure, prove it” 🙄

This propaganda at hud.gov Reminds me of the bad landlord who raised my rent $300 and then was mad that I moved out

Just got back from a 7-mile run and I’m making waffles. Definitely not watching “A Precarious State” which sounds like a long tedious advertisement for Rick Kupchella’s shitty tv show and anguished plea for poor, poor landlords like Jim Rubin….

“Rhetoric is not evidence.” I’m sorry that needed to be said.

More typical traits of an abusive relationship: - Unreasonable demands with no intention of fair negotiations - When you stand up to them, they call you unreasonable and ridiculous - Accusations are backed up with lies - Cowards will both-sides it

Really enjoying seeing all the nice pictures of Portland and thinking I should plan a visit next year. I haven’t been in 24 years. I remember lots of roses, nice walks, great restaurants.

While the Mayoral debates continue between Frey, Fateh, Davis, Hampton and Short, there are other candidates on the ballot. This one’s a fun read. “I’ll work tirelessly to specifically f*ck the Met Council, take the money, and fix the roads in Minneapolis.”

"It’s hard not to take note of Davis on the campaign trail...Up close, his gesticulations and broad smile have a magnetic effect." Vote for @dewayneforminneapolis.com this election and RANK HIM #1 #minneapolis #minneaopolismayor www.startribune.com/dewayne-davi...

Sierra Club endorses Dewayne Davis @dewayneforminneapolis.com as our first choice for Minneapolis Mayor!

It is so utterly pathetic that the current President of the United States stood in front of the United Nations and called climate change a "con job". No need to fact-check it either. There's not a shred of scientific fact in that statement, befitting a man who is breathtakingly ignorant on science.

RFK Jr turned his back on environmental advocacy and became just another cog in the grift regime. How much did he get for his sorry soul?

At Porchfest, all are welcome. Except ICE and haters. We’ve been through a lot, but we are still literally dancing in the streets. 💙 Minneapolis

Open Streets in Uptown, Porchfest in Powderhorn today. 💙 Minneapolis!

🩵💙🩵💙

Well that’s a pity. Fortunately here in the Twin Cities we have superior small-business alternatives. I recommend Pumphouse Creamery on Chicago & 48th, which recently raised $2422 for Annunciation with sales from their limited edition blue-and-green malted vanilla.

They will never silence her.

Just watching this for the 20th time
