all they’ve done is proven yet again that you should *never* listen to some chin-stroking wise elder who lectures you about how *your* priorities are foolish and counterproductive while *their* priorities are strategic and wise. because in the end, *they* won’t even fight for *their own* priorities

remember Scott Graham was chair of the anti-DSA platform, got kicked out of the Mpls DFL convention for calling a Jewish man a Nazi, was a mpls dfl challenger, & served on the CBRC who took away Fateh’s endorsement & put the MPLS DFL on probation. the only one who needs probation is Scott Graham.

The next recession is going to make Occupy look like the Senate Democratic caucus.

On this eve of fifty Novembers the winds still howl the bell still tolls. My breath turns heavy as we drift into the long cold night. The Fitzgerald stirs beneath. I harbor their echoes and cradle her steel. My waves bear the sorrow of all I have taken.

In case anyone is wondering how Thrive's sophisticated targeting of U of M students went, here is a complete list of precincts where Frey received a lower vote percentage than Donald Trump: • 2-2 (portion of Marcy-Holmes) • 2-4 (most of East Bank) • 2-6 (Stadium Village) • 6-3 (Cedar-Riverside)

i see elizabeth shaffer and her bird costumes on election day have ushered in a new era of silly season matt pelikan announced for hennepin county attorney with an inflatable pelican by his side

Whatever your critiques of Flanagan at this point, the facts are Craig is several orders of magnitude worse and there are no other credible candidates for the DFL nom. MN does not deserve Klob and Klob 2.0 as its US Senators.

COMPLICITY NOT COWARDICE. COMPLICITY.

Note to fellow Boomers in Minneapolis upset about the Senate Democrats caving yet again: #1: This is precisely why The Youngs have embraced the DSA and why you should the same. Or at least quit demonizing young Dems who are looking for big change. The DSA caucus is the future. # 2....

like I have had one WFH day in the six months I’ve worked here and that was probably my most productive non-deadline day ever

thank god woke is coming back

enough people are out here searching for Edmund Fitzgerald content that my dumb joke jpeg is getting circulated

i hate fluorescent lights. I have a cubicle so I can’t dim the lights or use lamps and I can already feel a major headache brewing

I will tolerate reading about her as long as it’s about her continuing to lose www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...

Cluckle chuck meant to say: For billionaires and airline execs.

The right cannot be "fixed." It must be defeated. The same is true of Dems like Schumer. They cannot be cajoled into serving a better set of interests. They are constitutionally incapable, and what's more, they don't want to. We aren't part of their priority set.

when i say the NYTimes deserves neither your money nor your respect, i also mean NYTimes cooking, NYTimes puzzles, crosswords, connections, and wordle, the wirecutter, the athletic, and all their podcasts.

Bernie Sanders has fought for working families since Day One. He's built a movement that is taking on corporate special interests and fighting for an economy that works for everyone. I'm proud to join that movement. I'm honored to have earned his endorsement of my campaign for US Senate.

This sucks.

The only surprising thing about Democrats turning their backs on health care is that Klobuchar wasn't one of them.

Nov 10, 1975 07:00: Fitzgerald is now 45 miles north northeast of Copper Harbor, Michigan. Captain McSorley reports 40 mph winds with 10 ft waves, and that he no longer has an ETA for arrival at Soo Locks "due to weather."

Amounts received from AIPAC. Do with that what you will. 1. Tim Kaine - $600,065 2. Dick Durbin -$1.1 million 3. Jeanne Shaheen - $547,295 4. John Fetterman - $370,171 5. Catherine Cortez Masto - $598,724 6. Jacky Rosen - $2.3 million 7. Maggie Hassan - $736,162

While us Minnesotans saw this repeatedly with Bakk debacles- Today more people saw how Ken & DNC types are actually tertiary & useless in crisis Ken says it, DNC lawyers say it in court: their job is to get officials elected not to use the connections/apparatus to deal with officials who break rank

Bro look at my opposition party 🤦

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

This is interesting coming from our DNC member who lists herself as being a member of every DNC caucus and council caucus except the LGBTQIA+ caucus in her email signature. Just something I keep my eye on as Stonewall DFL Chair.

God, just once I wish someone would remember the second half of that idiom about bad apples

you just stopped fighting though????

Tina Smith should be the first to call for replacing Schumer since she's already not running again. And if she's not up to the task of breaking senatorial congeniality for the greater good then she should resign and allow Walz to appoint someone who can actually fight for the next year.

I definitely had the Democratic Party selling out in my bingo card.

if you ever randomly get the urge to donate to the democratic party, feel free to venmo that money to me or another trans person instead - we'll make sure it doesn't get used to take away people's healthcare

If the rest don’t oust Schumer immediately, then the entire U.S. Senate sold us out. They think we’re stupid. It’s insulting.

I just want everyone to have the experience of living in dignity with access to sufficient food, safe housing, needed medical care, high quality education, and time to engage with what sparks their curiosity and spirit this should not be controversial 🫠

I am so furious right now. AGs across the country fought to get SNAP benefits. Federal workers suffered with weeks of no pay. Millions of people showed up to protest Trump. Democrats showed up in record numbers at the polls to say 'we've got your back!' And you caved for literally nothing.

If people want Schumer to go here is what you need to do. 1) Call for his ouster (check) 2) Find a replacement (?) 3) Make specific demands on what the replacement needs to do (??) 4) Withhold all support from any senator who does not agree. That's your playbook.

Imagine coming off an incredible Election Day mandate from coast to coast and going 'you know what voters want? to be completely sold out by a bunch of craven cowards too pathetic to hold the line against a bunch of fucking weirdos'

Sorry but it’s very funny that Ken Martin is mad when those 8 are the types of dem he LOOOOOOVES to put into office. It would actually kill him to support someone who would stand up to this shit.

One small part of the terrible Senate deal: “The bill would hand the beer industry a major win by restricting the sale of intoxicating hemp products. The hemp industry claims the provision threatens 325,000 jobs.” -Bloomberg News www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Expel the yes votes from the party and cut off all their access to fundraising, then remove Schumer from leadership. Anything less is mealy-mouthed coward bullshit.

What was all of this for if you were just going to cave 40 days later? I'm so unbelievably tired of Democrats always doing the wrong thing 😒 SNAP benefits uncertain, Medicaid cuts, healthcare premiums about to double, cost living crisis is acute and the people who said they'd fight for us... caved.

Senate Democrats voting to dismantle the ACA to avoid any problems with their Thanksgiving travel is tragically on brand.

Did ChatGPT tell the Democratic Party to kill itself??

Seriously.

Unless Democratic Senators who voted no on the #Schumersurrender today explicitly call for Schumer to resign or step aside - they all own this cave. Just pushing out performative posts and press releases don’t count for much anymore. Enough.

Too often we use the phrase "tireless advocate" to describe community organizers who have been fighting the good fight for years and just keep on. But Dex is fucking tired. If you want to build a DFL worth fighting for, join them at abetterdfl.org.

"Does anyone know where the love of God goes When the Democrats turn victory into surrender.."

I’ll be the only publicly out LGBTQIA+ person on the Minneapolis City Council next year. I need a congresswoman who unapologetically pro-LGBTQIA+ (@ilhanmn.bsky.social). NOT this candidate below who will have you confused if they will vote with democrats or republicans. I guess I’ll caucus now.

The “ATM machine” of queer inclusivity statements lol (Except like way more offensive than saying ATM machine)

Tonight I’m thinking of the millions of parents going to bed wondering how they’re going to put food on the table, keep a roof over their heads, pay their utility bills and keep their health insurance without going broke.
