Y'all realize #APrecariousState is just #CitizensUnited but make it local, right? The original Citizens United case was about whether paying to advertise a "political documentary" titled "Hillary: The Movie" was an ad under federal campaign finance law. They're literally just copying Republicans.

i looked at the methodology for this and it is a. sex addiction counseling group in texas did a surveymonkey and extrapolated the results to the entire us population which is the sort of research design that earns you an ff on an intro methods class (the extra f is for extra effort), and b. p-hacked

The people who’ve been calling you baby murderers your whole life want you to turn down the temperature.

REMINDER: Rs can nuke the filibuster whenever they want and pass whatever budget they like, but they won’t bc they know they’ll never get it back and then they’ll lose their unjustifiable grip on power forever. They don’t want a budget, they want accomplices. Don’t do it. Hold the line.

It is with much joy to announce that I have received the endorsement of AFSCME Council 5! This endorsement is significant to me, as they are my union representing me.

This is fucking amazing news

It’s one thing to host a candidate Q&A and not invite me, but it’s another to tell people I’ll be there after not inviting me. I would’ve gone.

Minnesota DFL Rep. Kaela Berg is running to replace Rep. Angie Craig, who is running for Congress. Berg is a single mom, flight attendant and union activist — one of the only working class members of the state Legislature. minnesotareformer.com/briefs/dfl-r...

If there is a liberal response to Project 2025, whoever gets this job will play a major role in writing it.

I don't normally rank the candidates. I usually just vote for my person. But I gotta say that @mayordullinger.bsky.social earned a nod. I mean, my low bar is do they know the difference between a city road/state road/county road. And yup. (Plus voting yes for St Paul Kids!)

“When I was small, not much bigger than a pollywog,” said Frog, “my father said to me, “Son, this is a cold, gray day but spring is just around the corner.”

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

“Unity, not uniformity, must be our aim. We attain unity only through variety. Differences must be integrated, not annihilated, not absorbed.” - Mary Parker Follett Stop calling for unity when you really want uniformity.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

JOIN ME For the Labor Day of Action on Saturday! www.mobilize.us/mnsenatedflc...

Election 2025: Saint Paul City Question 1 and School District Question 1 (this would be the funding levy AND the charter amendment). Vote Yes! (Twice!) naomikritzer.com/2025/09/27/e...

All right, let's do this. I have no inside info on @karenattiah.bsky.social's case. But I know Post employees are part of @postguild.bsky.social, and their contract allows the union to challenge "disciplinary action on the basis that is was taken without just cause." So what's just cause? 1/

St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter, Rep. Kaohly Vang Her and Council President Noecker to Speak Out in Support of Ballot Question #1 (Administrative Citations) as Early Voting Kicks Off. (And @mattprivratsky.bsky.social !) www.facebook.com/share/v/1Lyu...

This article completely erases the Native legislators who actually procured the funding. The Senate omnibus didn’t even include these $$. The House brought it to conference and made sure it was included thanks to Reps Keeler, Kozlowski and Chair Becker-Finn.

Vote yes kickoff!

this is the way

Thread here...

Voter -#1 Yes on both ballot questions. LFG Saint Paul!

"But I need Disney for Bluey" No, you don't... www.youtube.com/@BlueyOffici...

Stephen Colbert: “Tonight we’re all Jimmy Kimmel…. With an autocrat, you can’t give an inch. If ABC thinks that this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive, and clearly they've never read The Children's Book If You Give a Mouse A Kimmel.”

It's not a "wrinkle"...it's a moral decision.

Early voting starts TOMORROW!! Who wants to meet me at 8am to be the first voters to say YES!!!!??

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

Re: transphobia at the DFL Feminist Caucus - @dexanderson.com and I just met with @dfl.org state chair Richard Carlbom and O&I Officer @quentinocama.bsky.social to discuss what happened on Tuesday and the pattern of transphobia in the party. I tried to emphasize how much they need to take action.

no words

Or...Perhaps it was the union busting.

Today, while a labor strike is underway at our state’s 6th largest employer, the Strib runs a piece telling us we should have sympathy for Ann Kim because she felt the consequences of being a union buster. Girl, I still don’t drink Surly. Nobody can hold a grudge like a union member. #FAFO

You don’t think it was the union busting

Maybe he is just visiting the MN Landscape Arboretum Apple House. Tis the season!

You gotta vote Yes on Admin Cites gang. The people who use our city like a piggy bank and don’t care about us will have to care if the piggy bank can start taking the money back.

yes please

Spent my birthday supporting Admin citations with a great coalition of partners. #Saintpaul www.voteyesforafairerstpaul.com

There's a reason they call me the most brutal one on one bike ride interviewer in the Twin Cities market: "You should've taken the bus, DeWayne. No sympathy from me. You should've ridden the bus."

My favorite part of every single morning is when I think to myself, "Hot tea sounds great". And then realized I've already made myself hot tea 20 minutes ago and hope it's still warm.

Hey everyone, you’ve been asking me to run for office for a while, so guess what? I’m running for California State Assembly! Now, I don’t like asking for money, but we gotta pay for this somehow, and if everyone throws in $7 we’ll have the resources to run one hell of a race, so, uh, do the thing.

I HIGHLY recommend celebrating your birthday at @catzencoffee.bsky.social in #saintpaul best birthday ever.
