Guys, I saw it in person!!!

This is Oliver. He might not be particularly enthusiastic about his birthday. But he will participate in the festivities. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (TT: la_cabrita_kelly)

Sea Salt is mostly proof that people like outdoor dining options that are not on the side of busy roads, which our zoning largely dictates they must be.

The Sargent at Arms blocks Representative Justin Pearson from Memphis from entering a committee meeting about redrawing the map specifically for the district he represents.

Minneapolis celebrates spring with a parade of giant handmade socialist puppets and a festival where people row the sun across the lake. This year's Mayday festival was today, and I'm going to try to share some photos and videos (many taken by others) to try to explain it for my non-local friends.

Unfazable Minneapolis

Happy May Day!

The parade of whistles might have been my favorite part of the Mayday parade in Minneapolis today. Very powerful and moving.

Happy May Day! I fucking love it here

Happy May Day! They didn’t think the Southside could make it and they wanted to break us down but they must not know us. We are still here and we aren’t going anywhere. ¡Adelante!

Happy May Day! This deer hunts fascists.

The more you know!

Why Was I Invited To An Island Off The Coast of Costa Rica By A Genetics Company? (With apologies to Dan Olson)

In 1962, John F. Kennedy threatened to boycott the White House Correspondents Dinner unless they started letting women attend. And in 2025, Donald Trump will boycott unless they stop.

Making stuff out of downed trees (spoons, stools, weird little tables, chairs with some practice)

u never see this on a tradlife mood board

It’s been about 6 months since I’ve seen the BUTT-STAR BEAR and that is 6 months too long. (If you’re not familiar the Butt-Star Bear is artwork embedded in the floor of the Minneapolis-St Paul airport making it the greatest airport in the entire cosmos)

48th and Chicago A vintage shop, a brewery, and a theater hosting two sold out nights with Jeremy Messersmith Minneapolis, MN 4/24/26

The number of Republicans crashing out about getting nakedly gerrymandered is, unironically, a sign that we need to do more of it. You guys are correct! This shit sucks! Welcome to the party, pals! We can all stop doing it any time you like!

how it feels to say "sprezzatura"

I NEED HELP! Please take this quick, meaningless 19 question survey so I can get data for my students to learn stats! I did a similar version a few months ago but missed an important question type. Even if you did the old one, please do it again! Please circulate widely!

Why do the Japanese like their buns askew (2026)

The borders shift a little each Minneapolis City Council election, but right now it’s striking that an unbroken (though squiggly!) east-west line separates The Eastern People’s Republic of Minneapolis from The Western Confederation of Rich and Poor. [Reposed with 2026 map] 1/

Does anyone have any fixed-fee financial advisor recommendations?

I FINALLY HAVE A SUSPICIOUS HOT DISH CASSEROLE DISH I am so stoked 😂

Does anyone have any fixed-fee financial advisor recommendations?

Oh wait, this isn't a dinosaur!

that Kylo Ren "more!!!!!!" meme, but instead of a misguided dark jedi it's the most pleasant midwestern retirees you've ever met in your life.

I'm curious who (or what) determined what counted as "midwest" here.

J.D. Vance assumed that if everything on his trip went so poorly, his wife might make him sleep on the couch.

THE ORBÁN PIN HAS FALLEN

What job? WHAT THE BLOODY HELL DID HE DO?????

The "duped voter" narrative is a comforting myth. If only we had better messaging. The reality is tens of millions of voters looked at a platform of mass deportation, ethnic cleansing, state violence, and the dismantling of civil rights, clearly understood it, and said, "Yes, that is what I want."

Bull's Horn is showing Thundarr the Barbarian cartoons and my 9yo is enthralled

Did the military say "no" or is that wishful thinking?

Part of why the case is also hard, btw, when you're talking to more right-wing people, is a very strong moral argument is to says "a billion Chinese people came out of poverty." Obviously doesn't work for everyone.

One day, "It" will happen, by which I mean sudden and unexpected news that you want to celebrate. In such cases, you will want the right outfit. 🧵

Performative Mayor Contest already off to a great start

The backstory here is that the Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of this land a century ago. They sued, got their land back, and are using their sovereignty to ignore local zoning rules and build 6,000 new homes over the objections of nearby wealthy NIMBYs.

Bingo

I got a kind of long-awaited promotion and want to buy myself something a bit silly (like not immediately practical, something I can remember it by, maybe pass down). I like watches that have been passed down to me, but can't stomach thousands for one. Any ideas?

It was an incredible honor to represent tens of thousands of rapid responders across Minnesota who have spent the last 118 days standing up for our neighbors. Here’s my speech from yesterday at No Kings St. Paul. 1/

I'm here! Lots of references to Minnesota

Using this opportunity to talk about my really cool clock again

I have a trauma response to losing Jeremy Schroeder.

Traveling next week - where can I get some Minnesota flag things (pins/patches)?
