This is the most Minnesota protester I’ve ever seen. 😂😂 #Bemidji #NoKings

So awesome running into Peggy Flanagan at No Kings Minneapolis!! Peggy is going to rock as our next MN Senator!

people on the top levels of a parking garage on marquette and 4th with a “we the people” banner hung wave to the no kings march in downtown minneapolis

If you were out in the streets today, thanks. If you left feeling inspired, please seek out local ways that you can keep organizing with others.

Go Minnesota!!

Gorgeous day in Minneapolis! ##NOKINGS

You know what to do!

I've done my part!

Spent this gorgeous fall day wandering the Red Wing fall art festival with a cherished friend and picked up this print simply because it made me smile. I'll take joy in any form right now 😄

So disturbing how the right freaks out about the Cracker Barrel logo and Bad Bunny. But they’re good with children being raped by rich white men, kids being zip tied and thrown in vans, peaceful protestors being tear gassed, assaulted, and shot, and countless citizens denied their rights.

Were the people during the first US civil war also this stupid? 😒

dance like everyone is watching and this is their punishment

When you devote your life to the message that empathy is evil and gun deaths are an acceptable price to pay for gun rights, you shape the world with your words. Maybe Charlie Kirk didn’t expect to be a victim of his own worldbuilding, but his death is consistent with the world he helped create.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

We in Minnesota have not shrugged and moved on. And we in Minneapolis are still reeling from the school shooting at Annunciation, which I assume is already long gone from the news cycle. America.

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

one thing i've taken away from surveys asking the public to evaluate trump's most authoritarian moves is that the ordinary americans have a much clearer sense of what's happening than most professional political observers

Wow Minneapolis!! Tonight, 1500+ Minnesotans made it clear - we are fired up and ready for a new type of leadership in Washington. Let's do this.

New from data reporter @shadib.bsky.social: Minnesota ranks 1st in country in share of adults who identify as transgender. “This should be a point of pride for Minnesotans,” says @rohnkat.bsky.social of @outfrontmn.bsky.social www.minnpost.com/data/2025/08...

He's so unwell. He doesn't give a rat's ass about peace, our country, global stability, or anything like that. It's all about him, his feelings, his ego. And until journalists start reporting it that way, they will continue to deceive themselves and those who watch and read them.

My reporting has come to the attention of Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney. Here’s the response I provided to the @thedailybeast.bsky.social

In 2016, Ghislaine Maxwell falsely stated, under oath, that she was not aware that Jeffrey Epstein recruited underage girls for sex (you know, the ones she was actually recruiting on his behalf). She was charged with two counts of perjury for this. Remind me why we give a shit what she says now?

today we are all being called up to the minnesota twins

ICYMI, Senate Republicans ignored several dozen former judges, more than 900 former Justice Department lawyers, multiple whistleblowers, and an avalanche of evidence: They confirmed Emil Bove, arguably the worst judicial nominee in recent history. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

hennepin county commissioners are weighing taking back control of HCMC from the partial privatization it’s been under and restoring it as a full public hospital. they are meeting next week. this is a big deal www.startribune.com/hennepin-cou...

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the former DGA chair, is cutting ties with the NGA and will stop paying dues to the organization next year as he is "reassessing" his membership, another source told ABC News. apple.news/ASCmyV8imTMK...

If my taxes don’t pave my roads or fix my bridges or keep my schools open 5 days a week or pay local teachers a living wage or help keep my hospital open or help my neighbor’s kid eat lunch or fund public television or my healthcare… Why the f’ck should I pay taxes?

Such a fun event! Thank you St. Croix River for organizing!!! 💙💙💙

Oh hell no! DOJ can fuck right off!

Just to recap — a white “straight news” reporter at the NYT can make the comments in the first post freely, but a black opinion columnist cannot post the second and third. Sneering about the “woke left” “enforcing language”? OK! Saying white supremacists might not be trusted sources? No! No!!!

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

i am wrecked

In contrast, Biden traveled to Minnesota, spent time consoling the families, visited multi-shot recovering Yvette and John Hoffman *in his hospital room*—and attended the memorial for assassinated Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark *and their Golden Retriever, Gilbert* Where President Biden kneeled.

Bombing for peace is like burning books to promote literacy.

EXCLUSIVE — The Onion has a full-page ad in today’s NYT featuring part of an editorial calling out congressional fecklessness towards Trump. They also sent a copy of their latest issue to every lawmaker. My report, with an excerpt from the full editorial: www.thehandbasket.co/p/exclusive-...

Don’t blame me, I voted for the first black President, the decent man from Scranton and the two highly intelligent successful talented supremely qualified women.

One week ago, Melissa Hortman and her husband were taken from us in a horrific act of political violence. Political violence is never justified. Armed extremism is a threat to democracy. Honor Melissa by rejecting division—and choosing courage.

This is an insurrection.

This is continued journalistic malpractice from the @startribune.com normalizing a violent white male suspect. He owned a private security company called Praetorian Guard, traveled overseas to preach against abortion and LGBTQ+ people, and attended a bible college that preaches "violent prayer."

For those of you unfamiliar, the sign language interpreter here is a beloved fixture in Minnesota. Nic Zapko has been giving us these animated messages since Covid. And. We. Love. Her.

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

Trump still hasn't called MN Gov. Tim Walz. Trump told ABC News today, "Well, it's a terrible thing. I think he's a terrible governor. I think he's a grossly incompetent person. But I may, I may call him, I may call other people too." So wrong for this job and our country. It's all about HIM!

We’re honored to report that over 11 million showed up for today’s No Kings protest, and totals are still coming in. Just… wow. WOW 😮! There’s nothing more to say.

They told Minnesotans to stay home. After the murder of Speaker Hortman and her husband—and the failed attempts on Senator Hoffman and his wife—fear was the official message. But the people came anyway. In defiance. In grief. In purpose. This was the #NoKings rally in MN. #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky

The fact that people turned out in huge numbers to protest in Minnesota even after a right-wing chud assassinated a Democratic member of the legislature is a good example of why we are going to win.

6.14.2025 Minnesota State Capital St. Paul, Mn

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

guru_merc⬇️ The mainstream media tried to lie today and say that the No Kings protests in Minnesota were cancelled. This is why you need to support independent media instead. Biggest protest at the MN State Capitol I’ve ever seen today
