Speaking out about objectively true things that make people uncomfortable can get you a “censure” from the least credible committee in the DFL. It’s an honor.

Engles saw workers in 19th century Manchester paying 25 percent of their income towards rent and was so aghast he invented communism. 25 percent of income going towards rent doesn’t even qualify as being rent-burdened in America today.

We got a DM the other day with a fun request from a local family: Could we find this nice BART train operator who always waved and beeped at this special little rider? And if we found him, could we deliver him a thank you card!?  So we got to work …

Women and girls should be safe in movement work. Holding gratitude and grief for Dolores Huerta’s dedication and bravery. Wishing she didn’t have to be so goddamned committed and brave.

for some reason (the knowledge that 100% of my money is going toward torture camps, surveillance tech, and warfare, rather than vaccines or public radio) i am having a hard time starting my taxes this year

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

I’m perplexed by people who say that a temporary 60-day eviction delay amounts to an eviction moratorium. Is a 14-day eviction delay an eviction moratorium? 30 days? I can understand that at some point you might cross over, but I can’t understand how that magically happens between just 30 & 60 days.

Caucuses are tonight! As of 2022, felons whose voting rights haven’t been fully restored and immigrants who aren’t U.S. citizens can caucus with the DFL and become convention delegates! Caucuses are at risk of being targeted by ICE, but you can still have someone deliver a non-attendee form

Rest in peace Victor Manuel Diaz. He was a Latino immigrant kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis. He died in ICE custody at Camp East Montana, Texas while facing deportation. We have unjust immigration system that continues to take the lives of our neighbors while tearing families apart. 1/

The DFL treats its volunteers so poorly. My friends ran caucuses and city convention last year with NO support from the state party. Now this person from Arizona is shaming us for criticizing the state party as it fundraises off our trauma.

a) this is just a national walz check under the trump brand b) im pretty sure that the cost of most tariffs is passed onto the end consumer? so this is just giving people back their money? www.cbsnews.com/news/kevin-h...

I have chronic doesn't-have-enough-money disease. Even though I'm being paid the highest hourly wage I've ever made, I still don't have enough money to pay for all the bills that are due in December.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

and i think individual journalists are thinking this is an attack on their work, it’s not. it’s an attack on the whole system we have. like i know strib can’t cover the power and the money in our elections because strib is in bed with the power and money!

this is why i said we don’t have a serious political press in this town. strib only covers shelley madore’s residency issue on october 4, months after ward 2 convention and after weeks after early voting has already begun, all of which is months and months after people have been sounding the alarm

I will outlast these fuckers. I will live to be worryingly over 100, and I will spend every one of those years ensuring the mess they built is so thoroughly dismantled it cannot be pieced together again

re: this claim, there were several submitted challenges that contained made up rules that are not in any DFL governing documents claiming secret ballots are required. it is unclear if this was the work of AI or not bsky.app/profile/tayl...

Now do the 300 brands doing the least climate destruction.

13. I invited the pro-HERO campaign to respond, and despite the clear positive impact from telling trans people's stories and confronting the hate, they still gave an "all lives matter"-type answer and pivoted back to veterans. They unsurprisingly lost and HERO was repealed 61%-39%. It wasn't close.

This is a brilliant book by Alec Karakatsanis. So much of what we are inundated with about public safety is explained accurately. Check out my podcast interview with Alec on #7 of “We Don’t Have to Choose,” or come see him in person next Monday at Moon Palace Books at 6.

Last thing: based on his testimony at the meeting tonight, John Maraist seems like the real deal, and I'm so glad we have him chairing the city party. 5/5

I’m publicly calling on the @dfl.org to issue a public statement condemning what just happened at the DFL Feminist Caucus meeting. I’m sorry you were forced to experience this horrendous behavior @dexanderson.com.

Minnesota is one of the safer states for trans people… for now But there's no shortage of people (yes, even within the DFL) looking to change that, and it's gonna take a lot of cis allies being vigilant and loud to keep them from succeeding So that's real fun 😞

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

Oh shit, I remember hearing about that story! Had no idea it was the same guy. What a cool dude.

Minnesota people- CVS is taking appointments for the 2025-26 COVID booster. They will ask if you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19. Say yes, proceed to schedule. No verification step. 👍🏻

This is an inappropriate attack on the character of a volunteer who was helping at the convention and implies an extremely serious accusation that should get Forsyth censured by whatever means we have. I'm serious. He is implying that Maddie rigged the convention.

Attacks on Amy Livingston are shameful. She has been a devoted volunteer for years.

Hey, I’m a survivor & cis woman - transphobia is a part of rape culture, there’s a difference between FEELING uncomfortable and BEING safe, transphobia makes all of us less safe, women & survivors don’t need you to speak for us thx

It won’t happen under ours either.

Trans rights are human rights, not “social issues.” To insist that trans people must bear the brunt of cis people’s discomfort is not in the same universe as DFL values.

spravato is my boyfriend

ICE goons roleplaying Call of Duty while in front of a Mexican restaurant with a sign that says “Make Tacos not Walls”, as if the symbolism could get more on the nose

MPD is already trying to lie about what happened. City of Minneapolis official account also reposted them. As long as Frey is Mayor we will have a police department ready to assist ICE and then try to lie about it. Look at the thread to see what MPD’s cooperation and assistance led to today.

They tried lie about an ICE presence. MPD assisted with closing off the area. This is completely wrong.

one of my former students was murdered on sunday night. she was bright, beautiful & caring. she was hardworking, going to school during the day & working nights. she had recently become a mother to a baby girl. plz consider donating if u are able: gofund.me/8b21b01f

at lake and bloomington where ICE were seen. large group of angry people

i saw so much leadership from the mayoral candidates on site. @omarfatehmn.com talking to an upset woman who saw agents take people away. @jazzformayor.bsky.social running around trying to deescalate. @dewayneforminneapolis.com checking on the person who was injured no mayor frey

I’m posting this mutual aid ask to help me pay my bills for May. I’m so grateful for everyone who has provided financial support for me right now. goal: $1,500 (anything over will go to paying down debt) venmo: @apweston cashapp: $apw1312

Ok so that last thing i said isnt true! Trying matters and is important and is enough !!!!!!!!!!!

if theres one thing the past year has taught me, its that no matter how hard i try, it wont be enough 🩷

"Transit riders should have good things, too: nice shelters to wait at, bright lighting and, yes, public art. The bus stops on Nicollet have some cool lighting features and art, and losing those is a disappointment" - @amityf.bsky.social

Im never gonna give a lyft driver fewer than 5 stars unless harm befalls me, but i really wish there was a setting for music preference? Because both Monday and today I'm riding to work listening to xtian country pop and i dont think i can live this way long term

I think taking suicide crisis hotline calls would be so much less traumatic (primary and secondary) than my job.

literally begging for people to watch kimberlé crenshaw's ted talk on intersectionality and read a summary of the different pieces of white supremacy culture.
