I assimilated all the way to Congress and this idiot still tells me to go back where I came from.

You've watered my last boy

Recalling the backlash against universal healthcare being "crappy service, long waits to see your doctor" as I attempt to make an appointment with my primary *in this calendar year* and endure a medication shortage that seems to be entirely the result of "who knew women would want HRT?"

Name a movie that flopped at the box office but is actually great:

Yep.

James Carville and the Obama/Clinton consultant cruft being purged from the party would be the best thing for Democrats since LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act and lost the racists.

Why isn't there anyone within MPD who is up to the task of leading a force of a little over *600* officers? The last chief seemingly had time to pump iron, canoodle, and attend fittings of his uniform shirts. Why is building a leadership pipeline not even remotely a priority?

This just gets more hilarious by the second.

New York Times’ panties will be in serious bunch tomorrow morning.

Just another above average South Minneapolis evening.

THIS. I've been without a prescribed medication for almost a month because there's a shortage. Back to the doctor to switch over to a different pharmacy, which means dealing w/ the AI customer service phone screening that repeats everything I say back to me and then asks if it's correct.

It's been over a year since I quit Amazon entirely: unplugged Alexa, dumped prime tv, stopped my subscription. The difference is I buy less crap, go out more, and my money stays in Minnesota. eBay is my last resort if I can't find what I need here.

I bought a bike on fb marketplace, bargained the price down, then took it home, cleaned it top to bottom, including the gears and the chain, and fixed a flat tire. Rides like a cloud.

Without saying the title, spoil a movie: The suspect was a usual.

Let My Puppies Go (to the bathroom on your sacred land).

I expect the gold leafing will do about as well in a few months.

Name a movie better than the book: -- Lord of the Rings, all of them.

I love my city

What pains me is that we all stood together this winter, and our native/indigenous neighbors fed us, paid for gas, organized watches and cared for the city. The least we can do is listen and give back.

In all the current chaos, I somehow forgot they put the wife of a wrestling mogul in charge of the education department.

Ok everyone, we have to stop saying we needed this rain and move on to the Minnesota goodbye.

My God, this thread:

Name the scariest movie you've ever seen: Island of Terror (1966).

Observing ICE activity is not a crime. This is another attempt from Trump’s authoritarian regime to try and suppress free speech and dissent. But we will never stop exercising our constitutional right to legally observe the federal government’s illegal activities.

This is all about wanting a do-over of the May 2020 uprising.

We fucking deserve hmart after this past winter

Much of what is wrong with this country can be traced back to Yale.

And how certain personal political profiles were boosted by saying the right performative bullshit while doing exactly nothing to fix a single goddamn thing.

This is really nice

you’re gonna be jealous of our sweet minneapolis regional labor federation cedrick frazier tote bags @cedrickfrazier.bsky.social @mplsunions.bsky.social

Normalize describing the details of the scammer who almost scammed you! Protect others and reveal the schemes to disarm them.

This supposed storm was all hat and no hail on my block.

Sitting in the back yard with a cold beer listening to a crow who seems to be mimicking humans talking. Like, she's actually arguing with herself. "You talking to me? yeah, what you gonna do about it?"

This is the best thing I've read here in a while. Thank you, @jandersoncoats.bsky.social, and thank you to all of you fighting for us - for our children and our elders - to make a world where we can see ourselves in our community and in each other ❤️

Oh, I think we know how the Strib would have handled it if this had happened under Hodges or a Fateh administration: non-stop calls for the Mayor's resignation.

THIS

My college roommate played this at all hours to infinity.

White whale file adaptation: Neil Jordan's "Shade"

Devil's Advocate Wears Prada Too.

Literally stacked on top of each other. Upswing? I think not.

Everything that used to work is broken. Grabbing a paper map now. Because at least there's a legend.

I don't think you could come up with a better "punishment fits the crime" for America than the screwworm outbreak.

God dammit I missed the awoooo

📣 PRESS CONFERENCE 📣 IMPACTED FAMILIES - & - COMMUNITY RESPONSE - TO - Republican Moment of Silence for Derek Chauvin THURSDAY 6/4 @ 1:30 PM - 4200 CEDAR AVE S, Minneapolis

Keep digging that hole, Alex.

@startribune.com another sick burn.

To them, it's just a murder version of the state flag. They prefer the old MPD.

I cannot recommend singing with community highly enough. People say, I can't carry a tune, but honey, the choir carries you!

I bow to the differentiate. 😊

“The moment of silence for Mr. Chauvin received relatively little coverage from local news outlets in the immediate aftermath of the convention.” How does it feel WHEN THE NEW YORK TIMES IS CALLING YOU OUT, Strib editors?
