Congrats @repkatiejones.bsky.social ! (🗣 BABIES ON BIKES 🗣 REPS ON BIKES)

Awoooo (in office its a lady talking, but ya know)

I don't ask for much, I am a simple person with simple needs (gold line extension to downtown mpls in 2026)

Hey, let's help this cool person out. ko-fi.com/pailbn

More people need to learn how to be comfortably uncomfortable, and I'm not kidding. Mindfully sitting with discomfort and learning how to not react emotionally is an act of self-care, actually.

HEY, I AM DOING ANOTHER FUNDRAISER FOR MINNESOTA RENT FUNDS! AND GIVING AWAY ANOTHER SIGNED ARC (Advance Review Copy) OF OBSTETRIX!!! YOU COULD GET TO READ IT EARLY (it doesn't come out until June) AND HELP MINNESOTA FAMILIES STAY HOUSED!!!!

this. THIS. My time blindness means I usually have ZERO idea how long it's been since we talked. It could have been last week. I probably still think it was last week even if it's been 6 months. But if I liked you then, I like you now!!

maybe we should start investigating every transphobe instead of every trans person, bc the correlation seems a lot stronger there

I have a note that just says "hello" and absolutely zero memory of it. Maybe its gemini trying to communicate. Maybe it just wants to be free.

A reminder that @amyklobuchar.com, who wants to be governor of one of the few remaining trans refuge states, has been completely SILENT on trans rights since she directed Trump's inauguration ceremony 13 months ago.

It's wrestling time, folks. @f1rstwrestling.bsky.social

City of Minneapolis is considering two proposals for redeveloping the SE corner of the Nicollet Kmart site. In coming weeks city staff will recommend one option to the City Council for approval. View the proposals and take the survey by March 5: www2.minneapolismn.gov/government/p...

At least I don't need to wash mud off my dogs every couple hours for a little while ❄️

Nightmare blunt rotation

Violently craving rice and cucumbers.

Watching this meeting on a potential small business assistance fund. The moderates are already positioning themselves to vote this down. A lot of handwringing around budget concerns and process concerns. All of these moderates campaigned on being “pro small business”. People need help NOW!

We will continue to track both sides of this story.

This is true

OPINION: A century after the start of Black History Month and five years after the murder of George Floyd, the gap between performative promises and real justice is harder to ignore. Written by Zafar Siddiqui

i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.

Rev. Jesse Jackson was the voice of the civil right movement when I was growing up. I learned so much from watching and listening to him about how people have been, are, and should be treated. Goodbye Rev. Jackson. It's up to us to keep your work alive. I hope we do it right. Rest in Power.

White people who flee or talk about fleeing the country- you're abandoning black and brown Americans who need you in this fight. (They also typically don't have the resources to leave and are much more likely than you to experience the violence that you cite as your motivation).

Bro this fucking helicopter...

Most of my gender envy comes from alt men, but an ever-growing subset is from post-middle age women who have zero fucks left to give- very much a Mrs. Mac from Always Sunny type of person. I crave this gender.

So, in an effort to make things transparent, and honestly, to provide some public pressure, I've posted the suggestions I sent Richard here: www.dexanderson.com/writing/a-co... There's obvious room for changes and improvement, which several friends already collaborated on.

This has everything: Minneapolis, wrestling and even ST5 shade.

This is too great to keep contained. Many condolences to @chiefbeef100.bsky.social

And if you're STILL worried about the midterms, consider getting trained as an election judge / poll worker. In Minnesota they even pay you (optionally — you can choose to work the polls as a volunteer). vote.minneapolismn.gov/election-wor...

A Winterhold college podcast named "Middas in the Midden".

Definitely mistook the bar TV for Heated Rivalry instead of an Olympic hockey game.

An EMT was forced to watch George Floyd suffocate. A doctor was denied access to Renée Good. For all the constant fucking hand wringing about protests blocking access to ambulance care, a thing that does not happen, the pigs kill us and force our healthcare professionals to watch us die publicly

I am so sick of helicopters!

Must read🧵 by Dex 👇. I'll just reiterate that if you are not a member of the community impacted by the criticized actions, you do not get to be the arbiter of whether or not those actions warrant criticism or corrective action. You absolutely have blind spots.

I appreciate the humanity and sense (dare I say, even Antifacism?!) in this statement: "I love you as a fellow man, and I treasure your ability to disagree with me." Bemidji was my home for awhile (though I left for a reason!)

Sitting here "slapping" my dog in the face and mocking her play noises, wondering if 3000 years ago someone else and their dog was doing this exact same thing.

I have never tried oysters or snails, but I'll try anything once! Otherwise just the pickles for me 🤢🙅‍♂️🥒

My rogue in D&D:

I am proud of you and our immigrant residents. Your resiliency, strength, and dedication have led to the announcement that “Operation Metro Surge” will end soon. 1/

No ICE in Minnesota. Bring our neighbors back. Close the camps. Reparations for our communities. Abolish ICE.

statement from minnesota lt gov and US senate candidate peggy flanagan on tom homan’s announcement of the ICE surge ending soon

Just a big hug to all the anarchists in the Twin Cities who get dismissed all the time but knew exactly what to do when shit went down here.

I’ll believe it when I see it. Everything they’ve said about this illegal occupation has been built on a lies. We need accountability for our neighbors and for this whole corrupt department to be dismantled. Stay out there, keep your connection to one another, and only believe your eyes.

It ain’t over til Minnesota has ICE’s battle flag

I’m excited to announce that my colleagues and I are proposing a $5 million program meant to support small businesses impacted by “Operation Metro Surge” in Minneapolis. 1/

What the big national outlets are missing about this moment: lip syncing in jean shorts was clearly intended as a derogatory reference to our mayor.
