When Israel bombs Gaza after pledging itself to a ceasefire, we apparently need to say this is a “Test of ceasefire” to avoid saying what is blatantly obvious, that this is a violation of the ceasefire Again, I’ll keep on repeating this: Israel does not do ceasefires unless forced to.

I honestly don’t know why all football coaches aren’t jacked. Imagine having a job that comes with that much weight room.

scheduled an oil change for 8am

This is how we compete with China

'we should try 5 community grocery stores as a pilot program' enrages the usual suspects more than 'donald trump just took a 10% stake in a giant multinational'

thinking about the guy running the us govt bluesky accounts. thats his friday, trying to troll people on a relatively niche social media site because they won twitter and it made them miserable. catastrophic loser energy

doing away with the designated hitter would be a net good

we just planted 250 tulip bulbs

trump showing off his little arch

This is very well written and extremely troubling and you should take some time to read it.

fascism is the ideology of insecure losers. zero charisma jagoffs.

One thing that’s probably getting overlooked here is: these folks are serious about this stuff.

The Strib’s Karen Tolkkinen has devoted column after column after column to her stubborn belief that trans kids are destroying opportunities for girls to compete in sports at school. It’s her weird mission. She’s fucking obsessed. Anyway, great letter from Max Maher today.

Ok, I made a bunch of different designs that can appear on different color t-shirts! I am a perfectionist and had to see this through! 😂 There are even some OFFICIAL TWIN CITIES ANTIFA MEMBER tees! Any "proceeds" beyond $100 will go to MIRAC. antifalilacs.threadless.com/designs/im-a...

solid piece from Garbage Day. in the aftermath of the 2010s - which in retrospect now look like a golden age of social media - it's clear that the priorities of platform companies shifted to 1a) ensure mass politics can never again emerge on platforms & 1b) keep the content pipe open for AI training

MSNBC from last night.

baseball is fun to watch

you don’t have to finish a book to have read it

I think the wealthy of this town are trying to rewrite history with their Precarious State circle jerk on all their corporate stations & papers I think they don't want us to realize our PBS is telling the accurate history of Mayors & Cops in this town. Watch Paradox next Tuesday at 7pm on TPT2!

Read 3rd Voice!

Can Bari Spell?

Police officers who publicly declare that they’ll quit if a mayoral candidate they dislike wins the election are (1) usually bluffing—sure buddy, toss away that paycheck and pension—and (2) exactly the sort of cops cities would be better off without, ones who don’t see themselves as public servants.

every single dem should be taking notes. this is how you message around trans issues (of note: i believe he is the only cis candidate for office to have trans people consult on his lgtbq+ policy platform)

Slothrop mentioned in the NYT crossword today

good one from @garbageday.email today. full piece here: www.garbageday.email/p/the-war-ag...

If our TV networks had not been captured by the right wing, some very easy journalism would be to play this clip besides a very not on fire Portland and then tell viewers that the President of the United States is living in an alternate reality.

No. This is somewhere to be. This is all you have, but it's still something. Streets and sodium lights. The sky, the world. You're still alive.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

the republican majority leader with a clear vision for the democratic party

What's the future, real and imagined, of the United Village development around Allianz Field? Plans call for a French bakery, Italian pizzeria, acre-sized flower garden, lover's/family-style ice rink, modern art, and maybe a daycare, housing and more twincities.com/2025/10/10/p... via @pioneerpress

new all of mpls lit against katie cashman going to ward 7 homeowners. police recruitment budget claim was about digital advertising, but there was still more than $200k end of last year that was left unspent. cashman voted for MPD raises. which do you think helps recruitment?

I wanted to share this message from my friend and colleague @katiejonesmpls.bsky.social. I’m proud to be the only candidate in this race endorsed by the state legislators that represent us. They know I’m a collaborative problem solver that delivers for Ward 7.

Heads up, Minneapolis, the Gestapo are showing up and bringing their own drones. They also happen to think they’re going to be the winners in this fight. If there’s one thing Minneapolis is good at It’s making it very clear that people in authority do not have the power to control us.

i’ll never get over this

I think it’s laughable how democratic socialists (DSA) are framed as the specter haunting Minneapolis.

Arline’s voting YES on Q1 to pass Administrative Citations — the tool we need to better enforce what we’ve already won: 🏙️ Tenants’ rights 🤒 Sick & safe time 💵 Minimum wage ⚖️ & more! We fought hard for these laws — now it’s time to give them teeth. 🗳️ Vote YES on Q1: bit.ly/STPadmincites

Some exciting news: 404 Media just won a grant via Muckrock to investigate book bans and educational censorship in the U.S. The plan is to file hundreds of public records requests around the country and to report on and archive all the documents for public use: www.404media.co/help-us-inve...

America 2025:

Can y’all please be on the lookout for my bike? Last seen in Elliot Park. It is a black Biria bike with red pedals and stickers of local news orgs on the bottom tube. It also has a Brooks saddle and adapters for Wolf Tooth pogies on the handlebars.

“the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa”

this is an explicitely nazi administration and anyone who still supports them should be viewed as such

Congressional Democrats Find That Taking a Stand is Popular

I will 100% support any politician who takes transit, bikes, or walks regularly to get around. Be out in community! Don’t just drive through it.

Some people might say, “Taylor opposes Frey, why should we trust her reporting?” and as an alt-weekly vet who used to beat the Strib on this stuff I respond, “look at her facts; it’s basic shoe-leather reporting. It’s easy as shit for “objective’ mainstream media to do. They just don’t do it.”

Free healthcare to all residents of the US regardless of immigration status would rule, actually. Universal benefits for universal problems (having a body that can get sick or hurt)

Literally all they've got any more is KKK-style nativism, directed specifically at Latinos. Every single GOP message collapses back to this. They've become the Klan

Bridging my current life in Chicago and my past life in D.C., I argue today at @newrepublic.com that Democrats should ~never~ vote to fund this government. Make John Thune blow up Senate rules and Republicans wholly own the U.S. extra-military military doing war crimes against us, funded by us.

I went to the bookstore and picked up my preordered copy of Thomas Pynchon's new novel, Shadow Ticket (on shelves today). I also bought a sandwich at the cheese shop. the sandwich had chèvre, roasted broccolini, tomatillo jam, and e.v.o.o.. it was a very good sandwich. not a bad start to tuesday.
