This heartwarming moment in Minneapolis the other night at the site where Alex Pretti was executed. This beautiful community coming together to honor the memory of an innocent soul. Minnesota strong and bound in solidarity. 💙

But how will we go see the Melania movie if we're on strike?🤷‍♀️

After the rain some sun in the holler

Brilliant

“The $65 billion should be placed in an unmarked federal appropriations bill—if it isn’t, that will be the end of your precious Minnesota,” read the note, a handmade letter assembled from magazine clippings and sent with what ICE claimed was the severed finger of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

Thank you, Mr. President.

One of the most compelling mandalas from Kike@Kailua this month: the dizzying spiral background in the guise of a target with the person-shaped map letting go of the cup of dark chocolate/popcorn/caramel sauce and the pink and raspberry color of EU goodness—ache&angst @hale-ie-maia.bsky.social

‘Get by with a little help from my friends.’ There’s Bluesky, and community like Hopeful and Monica and Marcie et al. Sometimes I’m pissed about only 300 spaces, but smile at those who’ve figured a way around that. Stuck twixt ‘Quiet Piggy’ stupidity and @amutepiggy wit … & Thankful for KOJAMF

Ellison: "The Bondi letter reveals what this is all about. This is not about fraud and it's not even about immigration, and it's certainly not about law enforcement. It's about handing over documents of the state of Minnesota, private information, including voting information, to the federal govt."

A storm is a brewing this side! Batten down the hatches good people in the UK! :)

Thank you leader Jeffries. Meanwhile Speaker Johnson and Majority Leader Thune are trying to drive the country into a shutdown.

Pete’s message below. Also Texas Paul has a valid point about being positive re: Dem party narrative, and keep hammering at the bad the Republicans are doing. My thoughts point to this: GOP is dead. And it stinks. To clean up this mess, we need positive brave leadership and unity on all fronts.

And we need D leadership (as Pelosi did so many times) to bring in those votes and not let seven ‘stray’

GOP in 1992: "Clinton will take your guns!" CLINTON: "No, I won't." GOP in 2008: "Obama will take your guns!" OBAMA: "No, I won't." GOP in 2020: "Biden will take your guns!" BIDEN: "No, I won't." GOP in 2024: "Harris will take away your guns!" DONALD TRUMP: "You can't have guns."

👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 well spoken concerns and encouragement thank you Pete

Good morning Bluesky

These guys are cool and all that stuff but the best part of the movie is the bicycle

Great movie

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift. It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

Good night Bluesky: (version seven)
