it’s simple. Dems need to 1. prepare retaliatory gerrymanders in every blue state now that the VRA has been overturned 2. pack the court (and prosecute Thomas/alito) in 2029 I will only even *consider* primary candidates who support both of the above going forward

I can't believe this. @normcharlatan.bsky.social you're a Minnesota Legend, my man.

Bezos making other retailers raise their prices. Amazon “reached out to Target and Walmart to have the prices increased.” And an email to Levi’s from Amazon, with links to lower-priced khakis on Walmart’s website, along with Levi’s response that Walmart had agreed to raise its price.

To every single university, law firm and media org that scraped and bowed to this administration: your humiliation will buy you nothing.... you fucking fools.

Indivisible Twin Cities nails it on the manufactured state flag debate "Governing is hard. Pretending to govern is easier, and the costumes are better." indivisibletwincities.substack.com/p/indivisible-…

Turns out partying with fascists gets you less than nothing.

We are ruled by people who just don’t give a shit.

This. And our mayor had a seat at the table too.

Like seriously. You're Jacob Frey and you MADE YOUR NAME by telling the administration to get stuffed and the next thing you do is hop a train to DC and hobnob with the addled king of fascists?

Jacob Frey can't even sell out his own city without fucking it up.

The man who a few months ago said "get ICE the fuck out of my city" decided to go party tonight with the guy who sent them here. And like most things our mayor does, it did not go as planned.

the dfl convention last year was an appalling display of transphobia that ground the whole thing to a halt because trans women were being harassed in the women’s bathroom. They actually had to tell people not to do that. The party needs a high colonic.

Killing time at the library. Need some book recommendations, lay em on me!

When I was a teenager, the library was my refuge from abuse at home. Sometimes I stayed there for hours until it was safe to leave. Was I always reading a book? No. Sometimes I just sat. Having a place to go and just be made my life bearable enough that I made it to adulthood.

I'm hoping for the legal equivalent of those fighting bucks in the forest that get their horns stuck together and slowly starve to death as a result.

I will go to the mat for literally anyone who runs on a platform of undoing all of Trump's vandalism of the people's property in D.C. by tearing down all of his gilded bullshit Roman Empire cosplay architectural dupes.

I will admit I thought it was meh when it was first chosen. But after these last few months I love the hell out of it now.

I can't get over the detail that when a Black guy told the Minneapolis cops that his white neighbor pointed a gun at him in his home and threatened to kill him, they advised him to just move

This morning, we held a joint Audit Committee and Minneapolis City Council meeting regarding the after action reviews to assess the City of Minneapolis’ handling of the shooting of Davis Moturi & the death of Allison Lussier.  The findings from today’s after action reviews are deeply troubling. 1/

Checkup with my doc yesterday, the highlight of which was their extremely detailed description of Donald Trump stroking out and having to be cared for by immigrants in an underfunded facility that sounded vaguely like Whipple. Then printed out a poem for me and sent me on my way. I love Mpls.

Is anyone else detecting a very strong jet fuel smell, Standish area?

Conspiracy theory I actually believe: That the Kennedys had Marilyn Monroe killed because she became inconvenient and knew too much.

Say what you will about the worst members of the Roberts Court, but they all make sure their wives are in on the grift. Jane Roberts, Martha Alito and Ginni Thomas are equal partners with their husbands in the grand project of destroying the United States and enriching themselves in the process.

if you see this, post something orange from your gallery.

Trillium at the river dog park, just getting ready to bloom.

This looks AMAZING.

I know you're about to be evicted, but how's my hair?

I love how excited we all get about hail.

Greatest bible verse, wrong answers only: And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make

Because it is and they are.

Dear neighbor, I wanted to tell you about why I voted against reappointing Commissioner Toddrick Barnette, and why Mayor Frey’s characterization of that vote is wrong and disingenuous. 1/

If you are curious about the many substantive reasons why Toddrick Barnette was not reappointed, please read the public memo below. The City Council looks forward to working with the Mayor on finding a new Commissioner of Community Safety that can do the job. lims.minneapolismn.gov/Download/Fil...

after watching minneapolis DFL centrists flirt with republicans and try to ban dual DSA endorsements last year, i can't believe they attempted this division into 2026 with the humphrey project even after operation metro surge rearranged the political landscape taylordahlin.com/f/dfl-chair-...

If we tax them there, we can tax them anywhere.

When this is over, everyone who planned, built, or in any way facilitated a detainee's presence in one of these hellholes should be forced to spend a commensurate amount of time there, pre-cleanup.

They need to go farther. You say “Democrats hold criminals responsible for their crimes, and Republicans give them pardons and jobs.”

More people should be talking about how fucking destructive Jacob Frey is. He’s not only a do-nothing smug-ass mayor, he’s also willfully destroying any mechanisms where people other than his funders and patrons get a say in how the city works, makes decisions, or prioritizes values and budgets.

the detail in the NYT Lauren Sanchez Bezos piece about the daily 6 am 10-item gratitude lists with NO REPEATS felt like a challenge

Hungarians celebrated the landslide defeat of Orban by singing "We Are the Champions" out in the streets

Incredibly, a beer at the airport is about the same price as on the street.

This reality check by Rebecca Solnit grabs you right from the killer first sentence. Do yourself a favor & give it a read.

One down, one to go.

Believing that George R.R. Martin would surely write the last book in Game of Thrones before they had to start filming the last season.

The next time you hear someone say women can't be leaders because biology, let's just point to the cocks that are clearly leading an entire sex into doing the rankest shit possible on a daily basis.

So I totally struck up a conversation with a couple young enough to be my kids, drank their wine and gave them my phone number. And the weekend is only just begun.

Someday when the detention centers are open for all the world to see, people will come staggering out with horrific stories of rampant human rights abuses and we can't say we didn't know.

Better things are possible. We just have to elect the right people.
