On Friday afternoon, Streets.mn — a volunteer-run Minnesota nonprofit covering land use and transportation — invites people to take the commuter rail roundtrip from downtown Minneapolis to Big Lake ahead of its final scheduled run on Jan. 4.

I’ll never not thoroughly enjoy this interview. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Good morning, beautiful people.🌞 I’m off to run an inventory count, because what else would you do on a Friday sandwiched between Christmas and the weekend🤣 Wishing us ALL peace, comfort, ease, and joy. I love the hell outta you.

I’m stunned and dismayed seeing some of the people I know posting AI pictures of themselves. I’m all for more lightness and whimsy, but this is not the way.

So many people want an all-knowing daddy who will tell them what to believe, what to do, and who their enemies are. It can be a god, a politician, it doesn't matter, so long as they can be passive participants in their own lives.

Republicans are focused on unlawfully renaming buildings for their Puppet Master. Meanwhile. They have zero interest in saving the healthcare of the American people. You deserve better.

Good morning, all!🌞 I wish you peace, comfort, and ease today and all the days. May you feel safe and secure. I wish you joy. I love you. I’m glad you’re here.💛❄️🎄

A Speaker with any sense and any talent would be smart to wrest what power they could from the President while he’s crashing and burning, but Johnson has neither the sense nor the talent to do it.

I have once again failed to slow down for the holiday season. If there is one thing I believe in bones would make the holiday season enjoyable, it is that it would be vastly improved with copious amounts of leisure and recreation. The darker months are made for a 30 hour work week. Tops.

Hey internet nobody, you’re not going to tell Vice-President Kamala Devi Harris what to do. She will do what she deems fit. Or don’t you think your candidate can compete in robust primaries? You want a good primary, right? Pretty sure I remember you saying that.

I just saw a reel for some hot, new club and I realize I am not, and have never been, a “hot, new club” guy. I do not want new people at any club I would go to. If they are new, I want them to have been vetted by trusted friends who have decided their new friends will not wreck the vibe.

If you are conducting business or whatever else happens in a gas station, please pull your car away from the pumps.

Who wants to get together, stockpile some top shelf movie candy, pile up around the couch, and do a triple-feature of Go!, Run Lola Run, and the first Bourne Identity.

Looking forward to the day off for Christmas being observed on either Friday or Monday the next few years.

"At 66, Jamaican-born icon Deta Hedman, widely known as the "Caribbean Queen," became the 2025 WDF Women's World Darts Champion. It is the title she has spent nearly half a century working toward."

What are your favorite Christmas songs/carols? Mine in no particular order: O Holy Night (ok, this one IS my favorite) It Came Upon A Midnight Clear O Come O Come Emmanuel The First Noel Silent Night (bonus points if the lights drop, the organ drops out, and everyone then walks out in quiet awe)

Something else that has "flown under the radar" but shouldn't. Too many of y'all are ignoring the day to day impact of having white nationalists running the nation, especially on Black folks and our children.

Oh my god.

Today is a big win for Illinois and American democracy. I am glad the Supreme Court has ruled that Donald Trump did not have the authority to deploy the federalized guard in Illinois.

i think this is exactly right. she was hired to be a regime censor but that requires a bit of real skill and finesse to pull of successfully and she has neither.

The DOJ identified at least 10 co-conspirators who worked with Epstein and Maxwell. It’s obvious to anyone with two eyes that Epstein and Maxwell were engaged in organized crime, yet NO ONE ELSE involved in Epstein’s sex trafficking ring has faced criminal charges. Why?

Imagine being the “leader of the free world,” creating your own social media site, and using it to just yell at clouds all day.

You can always count on the Canadians! Just another reason to be glad Canada is Canada and not Trump’s 51st state… Spiked CBS 60 Minutes Story Posted Online After It Airs in Canada www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/s...

There is so much good in this world. There is love enough for all. It’s an endless resource. But it does take exercising it. I love you. I wish only the best for you. I wish you warmth. I wish you safety. I wish you strength. I wish you happiness. And I wish you ease.

It was hard to convince Americans torture is wrong as a moral principle during Bush's term, and that was with the debate about whether torture makes us safer. I'm afraid for a portion of Trump's base, that calculation matters less. Idea of torturing undocumented immigrants may even bring pleasure.

It’s almost like her proposal for Medicare to cover in-home healthcare was collectively covered by ABC, CBS, and NBC evening & Sunday news programs for a total of 35 seconds from the day of announcement 10/8/24 through 10/22/25. Oh…wait that happened. www.mediamatters.org/broadcast-ne...

Just reintroduced my bipartisan bill, the NIH IMPROVE Act, with Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, Senator Katie Britt, and @booker.senate.gov, to fund lifesaving research at the National Institutes of Health to save moms’ lives!

bari weiss saw this and decided that she had to hide it from the american public

FYI, if you're outside the US, you can come here and just collect $3,000

Dear affluent white Republicans, do you get it yet? You can stop this anytime. Is this worth it? What are Democrats going to do that frightens you so much?

Our forever Vice President @kamalaharris.com is At Our Table, on her new book 107 Days—a thoughtful discussion on leadership, power, and decision-making during one of the most consequential periods in modern politics. Full conversation streaming here: https://youtu.be/ZF-UBkLmFXw

Oh Jesus, this is not what I was hoping for when I wanted more programming of people talking about the big questions. This is some bad faith bullshit with terrible representatives for any argument. I hate it.

Among Democrats, we have differences over how we will best expand the social safety net to ensure that more of us have access to wealth, to safety, to health care, to education. Meanwhile, the GOP is racing to see who can be more racist, more misogynist.

NEW: Statement from some Epstein survivors: "It is alarming that the United States Department of Justice, the very agency tasked with upholding the law, has violated the law, both by withholding massive quantities of documents, and by failing to redact survivor identities.."

Note that while the GOP approaches a midterm with tanking approval, they are not doing anything to actually improve the material conditions of living in this country. Instead they are naming buildings after themselves, remaking the capital in their image, and spouting racism 24-7.

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense

Fuck these racists and their klan rally.

I'm not so easily shocked these days, but it might actually be shocking that the vice president of the United States is as violently, smugly, publicly racist as he is.

250 years. We are getting ready to mark 250 years and we couldn’t have chosen a worse planning committee. As a Bicentennial Baby I take this shit personally, and I’m mad as hell at y’all who made this possible.

We The People deserve to see #InsideCECOT.

Watching #TheThinMan #TCMParty #FilmSky🎥📽🎬

the vice president is a klansman

Luckily, Pam Bondi’s DOJ clearly works independently of the White House and the American people have every reason to trust them.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Rare footage of St Paul’s Cathedral testing its giant flamethrower

Sounds like they're trying to Bari the story.

It’s lefse day!!!

Riced the potatoes last night. Got my half and half and flour ready. Making lefse and kringla today!!!

Amen to that.

I don’t think it’s hyperbole to say that the last roughly decade has been profoundly traumatic. I’ve been thinking about my most profound trauma, the loss of my mother over 30 years ago, and I recognize some of the same things. Particularly the experience of time and memory.
