Me every time the State Patrol helicopter goes over my house.

At a time of rising streaming subscription prices, a PBS Passport subscription is only $5/month and is a heckuva deal.

Currently at the teddy bear clinic at HCMC. The line for immunizations was kind of long so one of my children wanted to skip it. I said mockingly "What, you're just going to take Bobo to a chiropractor? C'mon, we are waiting in line, he's going to get his shots"

A system where I have to pay taxes to the city, school district, park board, county, state, and federal government and they all have overlapping but also somewhat different responsibilities means that I end up paying a lot of money to hear that it is someone else's responsibility.

Delegate's search history during walking subcaucuses in CD5.

Fuck, they’re going to put Riley Gaines in charge.

trump likes wars. he likes killing people. he likes feeling like he's hurting others. we all know this. there is no reason to believe this is a distraction, rather than something he just really likes and feels good about.

Stephen Miller wants to deport as many non white people as possible and his armed goons are killing city residents and sending children to concentration camps but my councilmember thinks it's important that hotel owners be able to continue to profit from housing them during their terror campaign.

I cannot emphasize this enough: a bunch of Minneapolis CMs are pulling beyond their weight and other ones owe their constituents apologies at the very least

I will believe that ICE enforcement has changed on the ground when I stop getting daily notices that armed, masked goons are circling my kids’ schools and trying to sow fear in the parent patrols.

These are Minnesotans. We want them to come back. We want this to be a place they would want to return to.

My children asked if they could go over to a friend's house tonight and watch a movie. I told them absolutely not. It's Whiskey Friday with Tony Dokoupil. We do that as a family. Whiskey Friday still means something in this family.

Went with my family to Albi Kitchen tonight for sambusas and sweet drinks on the recommendation of Jason and Taylor. Fantastic. Highly recommend.

The entire force of this corrupt federal government and its rapacious propaganda machine is fixated on our state, ginning up every dangerous racist in the exurbs into a froth, in an attempt to separate you from the reality that government can help make our lives better. Don't let the bastards win.

Merry Christmas, friends

The Trump administration has reacted to a small scale lone wolf attack by in DC announcing a sweeping collective punishment, using the organs of government to heap blame on partisan rivals, and potentially dissuading anyone from collaborating with US forces abroad for a generation.

"Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy."

I feel like even a small infant would listen, nod, and then go, “So, just to be clear though: The machines — they didn’t work?”

There was a trick or treating event along the commercial corridor in my neighborhood with many businesses and organizations participating. It was fantastic. What I didn't like was my council member setting up a campaign table on the front lawn of the fire station next to the MPD table.

I'm going to keep doing this until it happens.

Got a campaign mailer from a PAC today urging a vote for Frey because he is against corruption. It might have been a little more impactful if the Mayor's close friend and ally wasn't indicted today on federal embezzlement charges.

Rick Kupchella didn't pay me any money to rent space in my head so I think I'm going to just read a book or something.

For years I've dismissed concerns about gentrification in my neighborhood but now there is a Cybertruck parked out front. Really learned my lesson with this one.

I got a Spotify ad for a crypto wallet that was endorsed by Dave Portnoy and now I am really wondering why they think I would like that.

Not knowing how to say acetaminophen shows it's pretty apparent he never took any of his kids to the doctor at least once.

Me showing my wife the picture I drew on the bus home from work of my plan to turn our house into a really cool fort.

A columnist in the Strib referred to CK as a "kind and bold soul." I wonder was the requirements are to be a columnist over there.

There should be restorative justice programs for people that have been kicked out of Cracker Barrel for being too intoxicated with their family.

Two different, but still very good pieces of advice.

the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.

Tried listening to the new Chappell Roan and got distracted. youtu.be/mNBVTCJ9Dks?...

In December my employer sent out a memo several times reminding employees not to accept like a $5 bag of popcorn from a vendor and if they sent it to you in the mail, a detailed list of instructions on how to dispose of it and document it.

The most consequential Speaker in state history.

We feed you. They hunt us.

Dozens of federal agents rolling in with an armored truck, masked and outfitted for combat... on a hunt for boxes of evidence. This could've been done with FBI agents in windbreakers. The intent was to instigate and terrorize. It should be the mayor's first instinct to stand up against it.

To "wait for the facts" is naive and dangerous. Abrego Garcia and two hundred others waited for the facts, giving the benefit of the doubt to a lawless executive, and their reward has been to spend 2025 and beyond in a Central American prison. Our rights and lives are in peril. Use it or lose it.

I was a student at Harvard and one time my professor, Steven Pinker, kept insisting Charlie Brown had hoes. "I'm from the Twin Cities, if he had hoes, there would be statues of him and his hoes. That isn't true." He accused me of having a Franklin bias. Which is true but irrelevant.

This is also a deep fake.

The average American has three friends.

So the whole point of better infrastructure is so that many more people can feel safe and comfortable biking. This is not about encouraging people to embrace a gritty urban adventure.

How I arrived on Bluesky.

thinking about cheese

Agree with this statement. I never seem to run into anyone I know while driving but I always run into @amityf.bsky.social while walking or taking the bus so that certainly makes me happier when I take the bus.

Wouldn’t it be cool if our mayor understood how parking works in cities? Time for a new mayor (for this and MANY other issues).

Let's be clear that this thing Trump just said about having no trade deficits with any country would be far more radical, more disruptive, and more expensive, than every single leftist dream you have ever heard put together, including Medicare for All, Guaranteed Housing, and Universal Basic Income.
