One thing I would love is if, when a straight white guy “sees the light” and joins the left, he would volunteer for a community group and like knock doors for someone who’d been on the left for ages instead of immediately wanting to be the candidate. It’d be like a litmus test for if they’re serious

lately my thoughts turn to Mitch McConnell’s all too mortal jugs

Legal defense fund for the Minnesota 15. Please share and support them! We keep us safe 💙🤍🩵

Congratulations to 🇳🇴Norway and Erling Haaland, who adds World Cup Hero to his resume, along with Mighty Ducks villain, Die Hard villain, Rocky villain, Midsommar villain, Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer, and Brock Lesnar.

One of my most hippie-coded (and clearly correct) views is that intercultural competence is more important than STEM and schools should treat it as such.

"and another thing: i haven't lost the Mandate of Heaven. please don't put in the newspaper that i lost the Mandate of Heaven."

shout out to all my siblings in christ who grew up in the states that the other people who benefitted from good education systems drove to on their well-maintained roads in order to buy fireworks. we may have had 20 y/o textbooks and failing infrastructure, but they came to us in their time of need.

Asking how people can partake in joyful acts during a period of immense suffering leads me to believe this is your first time at the suffering rodeo.

Happy July 4th 🇺🇸 🫡 🦅

we've been riding our initial wave of miles donations since February and reconnected over 100 families detained or impacted by ICE. our donors are starting to run out of miles. if you have 50,000+ miles and would be willing to book a flight for a person in need, please add your name to our list!

Someone dumped Mitch McConnell's body on the lawn at the 250th state fair thing, you can look at him for five bucks

I knew six different recipes for backyard explosives before I was fifteen. I had made two of them. I once burned all of the hair off of my arms trying to make a jack-o-lantern breathe fire. I made Tepache. I built siege engines.

IT IS GLORY TO BATHE IN THE BLOOD OF YOUR ENEMIES BUT TO ALSO BATHE IN THE SHOWER.

Hey Xcel, I found some energy savings for you. Hit my DMs for my consultancy fees.

From George Floyd, to Amir Locke, to Melissa Hortman, to Annunciation, to Reneé Good & Alex Pretti, we have been through so much trauma as a city since 2020. Each of us have had our own individual experiences, but we have experienced this trauma collectively as a community.

Can't find the original post, but there was a banger I think about a lot which goes something like "In Minnesota, if you get rich enough, you get to have a second house three hours away with worse versions of all your things that you go travel to to eat chips."

General Booster Seat got his shit rocked by hockey moms with whistles and Costco memberships, and it has completely broken his brain, lol.

Anyway, this is your reminder that the Democratic Party did not win marriage equality. The tireless work of activists did.

Anyway, why point this out? 1. They've always blamed the left for losses. It's been going on forever. 2. Don't let it stop you.

I just want to put this "fun" blast from the past here--an article in late 2004 in which Democrats can be seen blaming gay marriage activists for losing John Kerry the election by bringing lawsuits to enforce marriage equality. This article was not the only one.

My mom gave me her Gevalia drip coffee maker she got for free in the early 90s and I swear that thing is the Nokia phone of coffeemakers.

This Baby is lovingly setting personal boundaries and the Dad is listening and encouraging that. 🥹 #BlackFathers #BlackDads 🌱

The Democrats *HAD* an active, energized, engaged, aggressive ground game in 08 and 12, they SPECIFICALLY AND DELIBERATELY told those people in particular "no thanks, we're going in a different direction" in 2016, and THOSE PEOPLE (and the kids who've grown up in the meantime) ARE the DSA now. Wow!

Strangely moved by one detail in particular in this article-- that in addition to food, water, deodorant, and sanitary supplies, one interviewed woman is sending energy drinks. You'd think (as someone who's had a Monster for breakfast for a decade), I'd think of that www.npr.org/2026/06/27/n...

this is before we get to the part (my favorite part in fact) where we finish Reconstruction

we need more education about how the long-term punishment of Haitians is crucial to the white supremacist project a proof-point for them about why you should never rise up, how you can never be free

Your regular reminder that access to air conditioning in a warming world is not a moral failing but a moral imperative. Climate action is fundamentally about SAVING LIVES. And we can reduce its impact via renewables, efficiency (eg, heat pumps), and other adaptation (shade, green/cool roofs, etc).

When it’s my turn to kick it I really hope they don’t need to use one of the little coolers.

Never change, Minneapolis

they are on Threads fighting to the death over whether or not it is ableist for an author to use the word “scrying" (people might not know the definition!). how beautiful. people staring into their phones and getting so emotional over “scrying.” perhaps there really is magic in reflective surfaces!

Make Americans Guard Algae

Fundraising time: A Minneapolis-area Liberian mother, who has been in the US since she was a child in the ‘90s, was taken by ICE 4 weeks ago and is still detained Her family, including 4 kids ages 8-17, need $2000 to cover the legal fees to bring her home I’ll match 1st $500 Venmo @wrigleyfield

Never been prouder to be a cat person.

america is an ideal worth fighting for

A friend of mine is trying to help an immigrant family hurt by the ICE raids in Minnesota this year. Please join me in donating if you’re able to spare a few dollars. If not, just boosting the Go Fund Me helps too! Thank you. gofund.me/982017cea

REPUBLICAN SENATOR: Democrats want you to believe that sending FIVE MILLION DOLLARS of YOUR tax money to MEXICO to “manage” the “Dick Exploding Spider” population is “normal” SAME SENATOR SIX MONTHS LATER: (walking like a saddle-sore cowboy) This is the greatest public health crisis of our lives,

SCOOP: So remember Dialog, Peter Thiel's private society that doesn't have a public website and no public list of members? I (along with a number of other journalists) have just been tipped off that embedded in the code of their closed off website there IS what seems to be a list of some members.

We had a panicked passenger on @metrotransitmn.bsky.social today. Thankfully it was able to find its way off at the next stop without harm.

may we remember speaker hortman every time a kid in Minnesota eats their free lunch. every time a trans person moves to mn for safety. when an undocumented person gets their driver’s license or a returning citizen gets to vote. when we have clean energy and electric school buses and warm homes.

Lauren Southern's story of being raped by Andrew Tate is sad on so many levels. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

I think our global conversation would be healthier if so much of it wasn’t happening when people were literally on the toilet

i saw a reddit post where a guy in LA was marveling that he wasn't treated like a foreign piece of shit just because he wasn't white this place is good when the worst assholes that ever lived aren't fucking with it

seeing the posts about visitors discovering that you can walk around most of our cities and just be yourself in a multicultural setting, discovering tailgating, starting impromptu block parties, my muslim mayor, etc. etc. it's corny to say it but that's our secret sauce. and it means something

just say you're drunks, we'd respect that more

Happy Birthday Mr Trump. DC has a special gift for you and the UFC.

more excited for the bugs than the lightning at this UFC shitshow if i’m honest
