If Joe Biden had an MRI a month ago and we had no idea why it was done or on what body part and he claimed he had no idea about either of those things it would literally be all you heard about in the press but Trump just gets a huge pass b/c reporters treat him differently.

Why?

The message on IG from Alice (posted by her friend Sandy Ho). As always, Alice blazes a path for the rest of us, fearlessly & with humor: "I'm honored to be your ancestor & believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all."

On Nov. 15, 2015, Minneapolis Police killed unarmed 24-year-old Jamar Clark. The community responded by occupying the police's 4th Precinct for 18 days before the encampment was evicted. Featuring unreleased footage and a timeline of events is Unicorn Riot's documentary, 18 Days - Coming Dec. 2!

I feel like it’s totally okay to get together with the boys and drink some frosty ones and talk about how impressive Kate Bush is

Here's a great article from acquisitions editors, in time for University Press Week: Don't Go It Alone! And Other Tips on How To Get Your First Book Published with a University Press. https://bit.ly/3XoKxfV ##UPWeek2025 #TeamUP #ReadUP @rcolesworthy.bsky.social @aupresses.bsky.social

In an age where we have fewer and fewer collective cultural experiences that everyone is in on, it’s so special to come online and just scream, “omg omg omg” with strangers from across the country.

Repost with an iconic fictional band

aurora taking over the timeline, we love to see it

I have found it: the most ‘80s-Ass Book Cover of All Time

Same for therapists — lots of us in private practice are on ACA plans, subsidized ACA plans (MinnesotaCare), or Medicaid. There has been a huge uptick in group practices since ACA came on the scene. We’ll see what this does to the therapy community.

Tina Smith should be the first to call for replacing Schumer since she's already not running again. And if she's not up to the task of breaking senatorial congeniality for the greater good then she should resign and allow Walz to appoint someone who can actually fight for the next year.

And now, if you read the devastating piece about what Venezuelan deportees endured at the El Salvador torture prison, read what incarcerated U.S. citizens endure in Alabama prisons. State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/oc...

60 fucking dollars for two drinks plus 20% tip at the Uptown Theatre?????? (two different strangers DID compliment my outfit for the King Princess show though 💅🏼)

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

Jacob Frey still couldn't get more votes in 2025 than rent control did in 2021.

I absolutely agree on this. We may not have gotten the mayor we wanted, but the message did work (there will always be anomalies, like a person in my mentions who ranked Fateh #1 and Frey #2). People were engaged and involved, and the progressive and DSA campaigns made that happen!

I am never not gonna be mad about the Minneapolis public not connecting Frey to complete control of MPD operations for the past 8 years. www.startribune.com/election-day...

Agree with everything Ryan wrote in this thread. During GOTV, Fateh knocked 80k doors and our IE table knocked 20k doors. Top notch field and political staff, unprecedented partnerships with Council and Park campaigns and a motivated volunteer base driven by DSA pushed Frey and his $$ to the brink.

This is a great thread ⬇️

Recorded just a few months after police killed George Floyd and then brutally reacted to protests, the videos worn by 45 MPD officers showcase officer interactions and tactic discussions while illustrating MPD’s antagonistic relationship with the community. >> unicornriot.ninja/2025/body-ca... <<

"Hope is not blind optimism or uncritical belief in a political savior. Hope, to me, means the ability to imagine a better world is possible and then work to build it brick by brick. It is, as @prisonculture.bsky.social says, not an emotion but a discipline—one we must practice every single day."

I’m immeasurably sad about the Frey victory because of how it is going to affect unhoused people. Frey’s homelessness policy is more draconian than almost any other big-city Democratic mayor. He’s going to view this victory as a mandate to further criminalize homelessness.

It took 7+ years of coordinated, multi-collation organizing to set the conditions that resulted in the election of Mamdani. Mpls is gonna have to get on the good foot if we’re ever going to rid ourselves of Jacob Frey.

Straight up tho Jacob Frey won by directly appealing to the islamophobic tendencies of Minneapolis. The PACs supporting him have run overtly racist messaging and he accepted their support with a full embrace.

reminding you all that Jacob Frey is a racist asshole. don’t let him know peace for the next four years. look up his statements on Moturi. hear how he talks about protesters. look at the Trumpers who fund him. Frey is a Republican in denial.

Everyone has their take, and mine's not that much more special. Lots of people I don't talk to vote, and they vote for white guys who like cops

so proud of Senator Omar Fateh, his campaign team, and everything they did to put up a good fight against the entire bullshit status quo of both the DFL and the right wing

Thank you to @dewayneforminneapolis.com @omarfatehmn.com @jazzformayor.bsky.social and every other candidate who saw through his gaslighting, lies, fences, and all of his bullshit to try to make a real difference here. Thank you for doing the work and trying to make a better city for us all. 💙💙💙

four more years of absolute nothing from jacob frey. what a victory for minneapolis.

Screaming this

If he does pull this out, there's a book to be written about how he and his cronies transformed one of the most democratically engaged cities in America into a bitter, cynical place where a widely despised mayor can somehow magically win three terms.

Eugene Debs, a Midwestern socialist? The coastal divide is being united

Me literally every other moment of the year: OMG Steve Simon is the best ever Me at 9:15 every election night: OMG What is wrong with you Steve Simon

Repro wins so far: - Virginia protected its status as the last abortion access haven in the South - The Pennsylvania Supreme Court retained the three Democratic justices needed to protect abortion - New Jersey elected a Dem governor (vital as one of the few states w/zero abortion restrictions)

Zohran was polling at six percent in January. Nothing is impossible

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

Make a box of couscous (I get the kind with seasoning to make it even easier). Add rinsed black beans, a can of tomatoes, and some feta cheese. If you're feeling super fancy, boil or roast some sweet potatoes and add those, too.

I did not have “Mighty Ducks actor calls out Frey staffer for using a Ducks movie gif, rejects Frey, and cheers on Omar“ on my bingo card. Danny Tamberelli is a legend.

Number 106 in Powderhorn! It's a great day to wake up to Dick Cheney dead and to vote in a socialist wave across the country! Can't wait to see @omarfatehmn.com, @dewayneforminneapolis.com, or @jazzformayor.bsky.social as the new mayor of Minneapolis!

Everything Donald Trump is doing to Americans and in America was pioneered by Dick Cheney on foreigners and abroad. He threw the imperial boomerang

There is nothing as delightful as catching up with old coworkers and hearing gossip about a place where you know everyone involved but no longer work with any of those folks. Even six years later — simply divine ✨

Sometimes I think people forget that, in 2021 Rent Control got more votes than Jacob Frey did.

Doorbell rang today and I was looking forward to someone door knocking from a campaign I support. Instead it was Christian missionaries 😩

Using Ranked Choice Voting literally the exact way it was intended is CHEATING.

I know giving food feels like it’s helping (and it is!) but giving money goes so much further! Especially for produce, meat, and eggs.
