Brought the kids along and enthusiastically voted for @melvincarter.bsky.social, admin cites, and school funding. Happy Election Day!

If memory serves, the Lincoln police spared no expense investigating this (the stickers on the sign, not the federal crimes).

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Hard day to work in a school. Hard day to have a kid about to start kindergarten. It doesn’t have to be this way.

We should ban cars on Halloween every year and expand from there

Every word of this. Kids should be more included in society, not less. “Kids learn about how to be a person by participating in these same spaces where they are increasingly unwelcome.”

After a wonderful trip to New York and Connecticut, we got to come home to our block party for National Night Out. Letting the kids roam and play without worrying about cars while we chat with neighbors is such a dream.

Omar Fateh authored the North Star Promise, which has been such an incredible gift for the students I work with, and their families. I’m excited to see what he’ll do as mayor. Well done on the endorsement, Minneapolis DFL!

My spouse is in Montreal this weekend.

I can’t believe it took me this long to get to the neighborhood cat cafe. Perfect place to write half a speech. I would have done excellent procrastinating here in college.

Looks like July.

I’m half tempted to door knock for this campaign while we’re in New York (being slow-moving tourists) in a couple of weeks.

So much of going to the pool with toddlers is my 2 year old buckling and unbuckling and rebuckling a life jacket and trying to carry too many noodles and then my 5 year old showing me a pair of long-dead bats and then my 2 year old needing to go potty. Really appreciating the slowness of it all.

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.

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

If you’ve ever wondered what you would’ve done in 1930s Germany — look around. You’re doing it now. We are so proud of the people rising up in nonviolent defiance — in LA, in #Chicago, and in cities nationwide. ❌👑 Join us Saturday, June 14 to protest Trump’s fascist regime: NoKings.org #NoKings

on January 6th, while attempting to overthrow an election, multiple rioters wore Nazi paraphernalia. they declared their intent to murder elected officials. the right stood steadfastly behind them and are now more powerful than ever. you can stand behind someone waving a Mexican flag.

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

I want to live in a world where elementary-aged children can safely walk a couple blocks to a grocery store. What a nightmare country we’ve built.

if two of history’s all time whiniest babies can’t get along then what hope is there for the rest of us

Nothing activates my climate anxiety quite like the air being unsafe to breathe.

"Look, if you give people homes, the next thing you know, they’re going to start to get their lives together and then get jobs and start organizing. Then they’ll expand Medicare to everyone and build a fucking light rail line instead of a border wall."

It’s despicable that State DFL leaders struck a deal with Republicans, who don’t control any branch of State government, to betray core values held by DFLers. It's unconscionable that our DFL leaders decided 20,000 Minnesotan immigrants are disposable in their $67 billion budget.

Been thinking a lot this week about the silliest pregnancy test I’ve ever had to take—two weeks postpartum, back in the hospital for a D&C to remove retained placenta. They knew the test would be a false positive, but it was “procedure.” Happy Mother’s Day everybody.

How is he so powerful and so bad at reading the room?

Just incredible

Incredibly bleak. I want my kids to grow up in a world with caterpillars.

I see the already historically unpopular president is exploring how to get the military invovled in “assisting” local law enforcement just a few weeks before the real shortages caused by his inept economic policy start hitting. Probably nothing to worry about.

complete batshit insanity

My experience of parenting so far has been that my kids just get easier and more fun. Today I marveled at being able to use both hands to unpack a suitcase while my 2 year old entertained herself (and it was so cute I had to take a picture). Two years ago I felt like I needed an extra set of arms.

ICE is a rogue federal agency. Fresh horrors every day.

This is what fascism looks like. More and more people will be kidnapped from our communities.

We waited over a half hour for the train, and had four packed full trains pass by before we hopped on a bus that got us close enough. As usual, proud and grateful to be a Minnesotan today.

I can’t get over this. Regular people use the word “grocery” all the time. Deeply out of touch.

Trump: "An old fashioned term that we use -- groceries. I used it on the campaign. It's such an old fashioned term, but a beautiful term. Groceries. It says a bag with different things in it."

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

We’ll be there. Join us!

More of this! No more business as usual.

One of the defining feelings in American life, for decades now, is elites doing plainly criminal shit and nothing at all happening as a result. It is deranging in a way that virtually nothing else is. Media fixates on perceived street lawlessness but shit like this matters much more in my opinion.

Republicans will illegally destroy a humanitarian aid agency just to own the libs. It takes a lot of MAGA brainwashing to celebrate aid cancellations that will cause thousands to die from AIDS, malaria, and Ebola while making the US more vulnerable to epidemics, refugee crises, and terrorism.

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

The only fair way to handle this is to appoint a team of teenagers to tear this company limb from limb until we find out what kind of financial damage they are hiding and where

Rep. @aoc.bsky.social is asked point blank about Schumer saying the CR is bad, but a shutdown is worse. I'm with AOC — Trump, Elon and the maga politicians are trying to be reverse Robin Hood robbing from the poor to give tax breaks to the rich.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121
