Minnesotans who get health insurance on the individual marketplace are expected to face double-digit rate increases next year — and that's not counting the impact of an expiring federal subsidy. minnesotareformer.com/2025/10/01/m...

I'm a single issue voter now, my issue: revenge

i'm sort of fascinated by the fact that all of the Nostalgia Slop videos almost always center around either Walmart or just the most boring-ass exurban environments known to man

This is simultaneously not an especially radical theological belief and, politically speaking (especially in the U.S. context), quite a thing for Pope Leo to say. www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/266859/...

the pope remains Catholic.

I know who Pete Hegseth is. He’s the guy constantly doing bench reps in the weight room but thinks agility drills and footwork “is for pussies” He’s the guy pounding ten different steroid cocktails while ignoring his playbook He’s a practice squad all-star who wilts every time the lights come on

The family who borrowed our bike is hoping to move to Mpls from D.C. & wanted to scope out neighborhoods via bike. They told me they had done some research & learned about an amazing resource: a free cargo bike library, and asked if I knew about it. 😊

There are a few people that are inspirations to almost all scientists that I know, and Jane Goodall was one of them. RIP. 😢

Here to say that since the ICE crackdown, we've seen fewer immigrants in the hospital and have had them leave, even critically ill ones who would die without treatment, due to the fear of being detained and deported.

The funniest part of this is that this person seems to have no experience at all with cats or the phrase "subservient calico" would never have left that keyboard

They're human beings in need of medical care and you're a Catholic

I'll never vote for anyone again who isn't promising jail time.

I just think if you're the kind of person who does this -- using a theft machine to capitalize on an actual person who did actual writing -- you're a piece of shit who should be shunned out of the community

Just like James Naismith would get destroyed in a 1v1 with about 70% of kids playing basketball rn, we should not expect the people who build the posters app to also be the good posters

NH and VT have Republican governors

As ADL is demonstrating, it’s not possible to be a little pro-fascist. They will always ask for more, always demand total support, and lash out at those who don’t give it. Always.

Congressional Republicans shut down the federal government - their third time under Donald Trump’s control. Here’s what that means for you.

I’d like one newspaper to try out the headline “Republicans fail to attract Democratic votes they need to end shutdown” as a little treat.

My daughter has been riding the subway since she was 5 and she loves it because she isn't a scared loser like McClains daughter

Man is really on the good shit. He woke up and was like “these tunnels are unconstitutional under the 14th amendment because they’re black”

NYT gave him a non asshole profile and he's on The View, looks to me like the powers that be are accepting the inevitable

maybe they think he's actually the good twin evil twin from Bollywood movies

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable." All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.

someone please check on every government website because the banners are killing me HUD:

Sorry we had to cancel your cancer treatment, but the Secretary of Defense had to fly all the generals in so he could call them fat.

People think they’re taking down a rich intellectual sinecure but they’re mostly terrorizing committed public servants who make $58,000 a year after 15 years of experience at a school that has to budget creatively so students can access textbooks.

Using the DOJ website for hatch act violating propaganda

hm I wonder if armies are heavily reliant on gasoline

I did not expect this kind of fire from Eliot Cohen, but he has Hegseth absolutely pegged www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

We’ve been living through some rough shit, and I just want to remind you that your child/pet can have more than one Halloween costume if you need them to.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

feels like a thing placed in documentaries before horrifying footage

let the gourd times roll

I rode the metro as a child in the 1990s when the murder rate was several times higher than it is now bsky.app/profile/joel...

feels like we're living through some kind of cultural gas leak

*waving hand vaguely* Computer, achieve my goals

Ngl I kinda thought a sectarian terror attack in the U.S. would get a little more news coverage

No better diagnostic of the media environment right now that the non-story of a Trumper deciding to kill heretics & burn their church

Most morally offensive part of hegseth's speech was the idea that manliness and courage consists of bullying and abusing people weaker than you rather than standing up for justice against people more powerful than you. Real andrew tate shit

It's important to name the tools of authoritarianism so we can identify and condemn them with precision. I'm glad we now have a term for ICE's openly racist, degrading immigration arrests: Kavanaugh stops. slate.com/news-and-pol...

It's like a Choose Your Own Hatch Act Violation.

Fair play correcting the right wing journalist, but I have to confess it’s hard for me to enjoy a political culture whose main point of consensus is that it should be illegal to use federal funds to treat people who are injured or sick and happen to have the wrong immigration status.

RFK Jr just prevented my 9mo from getting her first Covid shot, curse that man for all time.

If you hate the Pope because he is too “liberal”, I have some very bad news for you about Jesus.

Donald Trump shut down the government because he doesn't want you to have healthcare. But this isn’t just on him. Democrats MUST use their leverage to protect our rights, but it can’t end there. Schumer and Jeffries can’t just go on TV or write letters, they need clear demands. We need action now.

There have been two hosts in the history of Reading Rainbow. The Legend of Literacy, LeVar Burton! And... me, Mychal Threets, a librarian 🥹🤯 I am a reader, a librarian because LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow made us believe and see we belong in books, we belong everywhere ✨ youtu.be/e7es7qdWVnU

“Frey still felt the need to wave around his veto pen” is the perfect summation of our worse-than-useless mayor. Another great letter by @elitalksmpls.bsky.social in today’s Strib

One reason the Dem establishment hates Mamdani is that he's just *better at this than they are*. He just talks like an authentic human about things that matter & people respond & it breaks their poll-tested, consultant-cooked brains.
