This is why we don't give up fighting. Every win chips away at the administration's efforts and builds on previous wins. Even if we have work to do to rebuild these programs nationwide, this is the right start.

Operation Gestapo Occupation (i.e. Operation Metro Surge) is ENDING in Minnesota per the head Gestapo Homan. God we may actually be able to breathe and start recovering from the horrific abuses this administration has inflicted on our state. (1/2)

As a mushroom lover, I have to ask: would the zombies from The Last of Us taste better fried, stuffed, or sauted? How about on a pizza or in a creamy pasta dish? These are the questions we should be asking.

Hey there, it's me! Living in Minneapolis, I've been uh, quite busy with things. But my novella, 'In the Wildflowers, Among the Fairies," is being published in this year's JordanCon Anthology and I cannot wait to see it come to life! And congrats to Sara Felix for a stunning cover!

Also, @seanhollister.bsky.social has been hanging out with the Whistle Coven, and wrote a piece about it! The opening line is "Kit Rocha and Courtney Milan have a knack for drawing attention to a cause." Our chaos field has been immortalized. (This should be a gift link!!!)

Bad Bunny more like Amazing Bunny. Top Notch Performance Bunny? Or maybe Making Fascists Cry Bunny.

Those saying 'it doesn't matter, they'll ignore the order' are playing into the fascist playbook--extinguish all hope, permit no joy, celebrate no wins. Having court orders on our side is *crucial* for many reasons, both legal and cultural. Fear is valid. Trying to infect others with it is NOT.

Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event

“boycott chatgpt they donate to ice” why were yall using it to begin with

may f around and start a new save of Kingdom Hearts on proud mode. It's been a year. I deserve it 😭

Be sure to grab a copy of this excellent anti-fascist collection! A lot of rage, a lot of catharsis in this book.

get yourself a copy!!! It's good readin'!

Today, we are all bébé 😭

Minneapolis and its peaople are being formally nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. If we win, prepare to hear about it from us for the rest of eternity. Nobel Prize on a stick at the state fair Nobel Prize crop art Nobel Prize t-shirts Nobel Prize themed hotdish Nobel Prize on a giant spoon

Today’s the first day I’ve woken up without intense fear and my heart pounding so…progress? Still need ice to get the fuck out my city tho

I've already cried once today but seeing Bruce Springsteen releasing a song for Minneapolis just brought the tears again.

1) this is hilarious dude really is a first town boss villain and now his career is over. 2) If you refuse to let we the people celebrate small wins you are no better than the oppressors 😘 Small wins begin to accumulate until they are no longer small. Remember that.

Just wanted to tell everyone how encouraging yesterday’s news is to us in the TC. Small steps are still steps. And when ice begins to crack, it’s easier to break 😌 Keep fighting anyway you can. Do not give in to doom. Do not allow others to diminish moments of hope. We got this.

A small number of ice pigs are leaving the twin cities!!! KEEP UP THE PRESSURE! This is America, and we in Minnesota will not allow that to change, not on our watch.

tomorrow, StandWithMinnesota.com will hit a million site visits and over 650,000 unique visitors. i made it 10 days ago with $600 from you guys for hosting and cloudflare. thank you. thank you.

DreamHaven is where I did my first reading as an author. They’ve been my favorite bookstore for nigh on 10 years. The best people who make you feel like home when you’re browsing. DreamHaven is the best. Support them!

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

Guess who left Enya playing in the kitchen and went to take a shower and forgot about Enya and had a minor panic moment when he heard voices in his kitchen. Yup, this guy 💀 A day in the life I guess.

Learning how much Minnesota is inspiring other states and cities to resist really warms me. We *are* going to win this at the end of the day. There’s no question

I had low expectations of Heated Rivalry just b/c of the cultural juggernaut it has become. Plus I’ve seen gay sports movies before. And the first few episodes were intriguing but nothing new. Those last two episodes, though. Safe to say on the whole, HR is worth the hype. Give it a watch!

THIS is Minneapolis. racketmn.com/see-the-prot...

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. Damn, what a fantastic movie. It exceeds the vision of the first 28 Years Later and dives into philosophy, religion, cults, all while still having some truly gross scenes for you gore lovers. Definitely go see it in theaters while it's still there!

Un tamal y un pan dulce para mi cumpleaños ❤️ ¡Chinga la migra!

Happy birthday to me! This year I want to do something for my community. We are not complacent; we do not go quietly into the dark. We are iron, forged in the icy flames of resilience. I'm asking all who can to donate to MIRAC, a boots-on-the-ground org doing amazing work in the TC metro:

Things we don't need to hear: "it's over, they've won" "if we even have elections again" "just wait till martial law" "I'm waiting for the next shooting" Don't be a DOOMER. You will be muted or blocked. We are feral, we are joyous, we are pissed, we are mobilized. We are not doomed.

They really don't understand Upper Midwestern culture and how we view principle. It's a culture consisting entirely of oversocialized passive-aggressive moral rule keepers with an entirely Kantian deontological view of ethics and moral duty.

morale is everything. doomers have none, they've handed over their platform to the voice of despair. that sucks for them, but the rest of us aren't responsible for creating hope for them. I've tried--it's never enough. there is SO MUCH good shit people are doing that goes unsung. remember that.

I’ve noticed: the more stressed I am about the world, the older the books are that I read. Just cracked open Pamela by Samuel Richardson’s from 1740 if that tells you anything 🙃

ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.

A poem, because I am a poet

ICE are domestic terrorists. Pass it on.

As someone who ranks Poe in my top authors, I regret to say that his one play, “Politian,” is in fact a horrible hot mess. I thought “maybe I’m just not getting it” but no every critic basically was like “this sucks stick to poetry and short stories.” Guess even geniuses have shite days lol

Love that Merriam-Webster's word of the year is 'slop' to denote "digital content of low quality that is produced usually in quantity by means of artificial intelligence." Funny how we can perfectly condense piles of pseudo-'artistic' garbage into a single word. Keep creating, fellow humans!

#Minnesota with the news that Walz is withdrawing, we've got to work harder than ever to overcome the lack of an incumbent's advantage. I don't care who wins the DFL primary. Vote for them. I don't care if they aren't a pure leftist. Even if 2026 is a favorable year for us, we cannot sleep on evil.

It took me 12 minutes total this morning - I called all three of my reps, twice (once before the press conference and once after with more WTF reaction)

LRT: There is a great app called 5calls that gives you the phone number for your state representatives as well as a script to use when calling and leaving a message. Takes less than 10 minutes and makes your voice heard.

Start the new year with 3 novellas and 2 short stories! A Shift of Lightning by Roxane Llanque We Sing Our Bodies Monstrotic by Mathew L. Reyes Not All Men by Wile E. Young F@ck Your Thanksgiving by Judith Sonnet Night’s Near With Much Undone by Craig Brownlie www.amazon.com/Five-Raging-...

Made the mistake of looking on Reddit and all it is are people complaining. Man, cinema sins really brainrotted a lot of people out of the ability to enjoy things.

Congrats to Stranger Things series finale on being the first tv show finale to make me cry. What a great show. What an ending. No spoilers in the comments please.

Mucho feliz muy navidad wow

Merry Christmas Eve, everyone! Be sure to leave Santa lots of treats on the hearth tonight. Remember, he likes bones with the marrow still inside and internal organs unwashed and intact!

Wake Up Dead Man was phenomenal. Easy 10/10 movie for me. Josh O’Conner deserves all the awards because God that man can act.

Ah Shake Shack my beloved, my greasy sodium-filled beloved.
