I also think defense attorneys are bad, but for the morally correct reason (antagonism toward anyone who attends law school).

Proud to be in this photo. The feeling of gathering with neighbors to protect ourselves was so powerful and positive. The tingle of pepper spray I felt in my knuckles, fingertips, eyes, and lips aren’t much compared to the feeling that we will win. Major thanks to the people leading this resistance.

One more shot from the ICE activity in Cedar Riverside this afternoon. So fucking proud of everyone who showed up to document, yell, give the finger to feds, and care for our beloved immigrant neighbors. We keep us safe

This is just an incredible moment in history. It feels like it’s turning and this might be a low point but it’s really really bad!

Wolves tweet: I love Jaylen Clark!!

@fiveburger.bsky.social a guy in a purple wolves hat got off the light rail with me on the way to tonight’s game. I wanted to ask if it was you but then I realized I can’t ask a stranger “are you functional moron??”

I voted for @dewayneforminneapolis.com, @jazzformayor.bsky.social, @omarfatehmn.com, for Mayor; Robin Wonsley for City Council; @olsenforparks.bsky.social, Wilson, and Frederick for Parks, @ehbforbet.bsky.social and Brandt for BET!

Voter 23 at Mpls 2-7!

can't get the thought "jaden mcdaniels- finals mvp" out of my head

You should never be venmoing people for anything less than $20. If you bought someone a beer, they owe you a beer, they don't owe you money, or you just like them enough to give them a beer

I wrote about Ta-Nehisi Coates and Ezra Klein, why swallowing live frogs is a bad idea, and how context and history can release you from bright-kid syndrome, the illusion that you yourself are going to have every answer or fix the world.

It would be more honest if more people would say "I am doing OK amidst the horrors being suffered by others." It's actually not true that everything is terrible for everyone right now. We're living under unequally distributed fascism.

it feels old fashioned but i am a genuine believer in integration!

Riding a brand new bus on the D line this morning; it’s so lovely to feel the crisp dimples on the seat cushions

Just walkmogged some waitcucks at a traffic light’s pedestrian crossing. Enjoy the cold, dears - I’ll be over here, fifteen steps ahead of you and in touch with my city’s heartbeat

Prince was the original "radically redefine the boundaries of Uptown Minneapolis" guy

Babysitter night to howl with @abbricot.bsky.social !!! 🐺

Cousin @ellieeeeeeeee.bsky.social and I know that it’s Wolves in 5. #AWOOOOOO

Conclave (2024)

Weed seltzer? No thanks, I’d rather have this can ibis

For this window between Francis’s death and the white smoke at the end of the conclave, I believe the chicken restaurant should rename themselves POPENO instead of POPEYES

I’ve seen some good Wolves chatter on this website but everyone seems afraid to speak the obvious truth we saw last night: This team will never lose again.

I’m at the wolves-nets game and this sequence from Etienne was hilarious. He’s in this play-by-play five times and they’re all bad

13 people at my precinct caucus before it’s even started. Last time I did this there were 3.

My PRIOR favorite fact about Cub Foods is that the name is for Consumers United for Buying. My NEW favorite fact about Cub is that they were playing Christmas music on April 1. (Lake and Minnehaha location)

Trump take egg

Issue by issue, Republicans hold broadly detested positions on almost everything. And yet Democrats are sinking in popularity because they continue to signal that they're willing to bargain away anything resembling a core belief in pursuit of majorities that are capable of doing absolutely nothing

I legitimately am having trouble imagining how a parody would differ from this

voted early for @doronclark.bsky.social yesterday! Doing my part to take back the Senate majority. Also got a spam text from the Republican candidate, lol @ running as a conservative in this district

My hometown paper published my brother and Pete Hegseth side-by-side in 2007 as two different ways to model public service.

I had a rough August and September where I was constantly cranky and tired and mean, so I talked to my doctor and got a Prozac prescription and it’s really helping. The weirdest part is that my rating on my chess app perfectly fits with my brain health:

Another indication that the country hasn’t made the progress I thought it had: the guy a few seats over at lunch just called the chain burrito place “chi-pole-tee”

Lunch break union rally!!

@naomikritzer.bsky.social thank you for the dedication and time you put in to your election guides!!

Holy shit, this story! And Mpls cops take the side of the attackers.

We’re going Both!! Nights!!!

I’m just a lowly peanut gallery member, but I don’t think this is how scale works in graphs

Our neighborhood anchor tree, with its own Google map identity, went down last night. We loved this tree, named our WiFi “Cottonwood Appreciators” in its honor, and we will miss it.

That video made me proud?? To be a democrat????? Uncharted terrain

As a public defender who preferred numerous other candidates to Kamala in 2020, I feel a little awkward saying this: I’m GIDDY with excitement to vote for her. 🥥 🥥 🥥 🥥

You’re welcome everyone! My advocacy worked

I had some thoughts about Warehouse District Live that were too long for tweets and too short for a fully-blown blog post: urbanmsp.com/viewtopic.ph...

Weekend? Weekend.

I went to watch the PWHL final with pals, and we got curious why the trophy is called the Walter Cup. Looked it up, it’s just some rich family that sponsors the league. But this is one of the most cringe things I’ve ever seen:

@davidjroth.bsky.social on the old site, Aaron Rupar is today’s main character because of some strangely-presented vote-blue-no-matter takes. Do you remember way back when he was spamming Good Deadspin comments for clicks? And also why do I remember that??

Accidentally wore both of my @wedgelive.bsky.social garments to the dog park. File to Seward-area fashion fauxs pas.
