“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.”

As seen elsewhere on socials, #LAGalaxy fans at their game vs #MNUFC last night with another show of solidarity via tifo: "you have friends in this galaxy", with the sign of the Rebel Alliance, a nod to the Loons' supporters display of the Rebel Loon and Andor-insipired "we have friends everywhere"

Constitutional lawyer here. I don't think it would violate the Constitution for the VP/Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, but the intended constitutional remedy for this behavior is impeachment & removal. The fact that that remedy is politically impossible is a scandal and a crisis.

I understand the impulse not to let this guy's statements dictate the news cycle but the fact that he can say shit like this and it barely causes a ripple in the media is a key to his ability to maintain power. Constantly pushing the bar of normality downwards, no pressure to take responsibility.

Loons, thank you. I needed that so badly tonight #MNUFC

Isn't it, I dunno, the entire job of the #USMNT coach to make the team more than the sum of its parts? Of all the things to say this alarming. Did Poch not understand that the task was to get #USMNT to "punch above their weight"?!

I'd say the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train but we're Americans, we don't do mass transit. It's probably an oversized SUV.

Chenoweth's social movement theory that it takes 3.5% of the population protesting authoritarianism for change isn't predictive, but regardless #NoKings is getting closer. 9M/340M ~ 2.65% In MN, we're there (just counting the Saint Paul rally) 200k/5.8M ~ 3.5% Now to make it active & sustained

I often get to support excellent research at @umncla.bsky.social, but it's even better when the researcher gets extra, well-earned recognition! Congrats @segijn.bsky.social!!

Trying to make this as Saint Paul as possible: my first @metrotransitmn.bsky.social B-line trip east of Snelling this spring and *HOLY SHIT* there are a lot of potholes on Selby Ave. Ka-thunk. Ka-thunk.

The weekend, a tale of two days. Saturday: bring fam to No Kings, faith in humanity bolstered Sunday: go to fundraiser in Mpls & have Kia stolen...shake fist at clouds

It was amazing to see how many people came out today. But the legacy of the last five months—the lives lost and destroyed, the people torn out of our community, the damage that is still everywhere you look—is sitting so heavily. The stakes are so unbelievably high.

Seeing the aerial shots of #NoKings #Minnesota #StPaul put the unique experience of the exodus down University and into Frogtown in context: wow, we were many! Kids' tired feet aside, it was great to pass so many full local immigrant-owned restaurants and marvel at the packed busses and trains

No Kings #TwinCities

Train #3 did the trick, though. And was full by Snelling

Journey to #NoKings #Minnesota #StPaul : So far, two completely full Green Line trains at Fairview & the wait-to-sardine continues

Just launched Saint Paul: Union Park Housing Stability Fund! Currently in fundraising mode. Donations are tax deductible. Tell your neighbors ♥️

I think this was my favorite moment in the match. Was sitting close this one and the crowd went wild for cap'n Trapp getting out of trouble. #MNUFC

🎶 This post is on fire with passionate prose...

Analysis » A stumbling start to the season crystallizes how #MNUFC is past a peak. The sale of Tani Oluwaseyi last summer was a crossroads and the exits of Dayne St. Clair, Robin Lod and Eric Ramsay has further changed the complexion of #Loons to start 2026. www.twincities.com/2026/03/20/m...

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

If the 5-0 scorelines didn't do break me, seeing #MNUFC sub Triantis out while bringing in James for his debut does. Wouldn't the point be to get James minutes with our starters?!

Some might say the Loons just played a half of soccer.

10/ All of this was totally foreseeable. Frankly, it’s why previous presidents weren’t so stupid to start a war like this. Trump has lost control of the war. His best course now is to cut his losses and end it. That’s the only way to prevent an even bigger disaster.

This is where UMN's promotion of a Vice Provost of AI feels doomed to be self-defeating in the long-term.

Much of this economic article centers on property values, (somewhat) less of a concern to the renters who hope to benefit from rent control. Yet crucially the findings show the benefits accrue regressively to the wealthiest renters, making control here an inefficient subsidy. For more, see Evan's🧵

Commentary: Minnesota hasn’t always faced today’s level of housing pressure. With tried-and-true reforms, housing affordability could be within reach. minnesotareformer.com/2026/03/09/h...

Nelsie Yang’s uncle spent five days in detention as she scrambled to find an attorney to get him out. HwaJeong Kim stood between protesters and ICE and police, trying to mediate the situation on Rose Avenue. Anika Bowie woke to armed agents at her door who were there to arrest her husband. Noecker…

Not feeling great looking down the stretch of upcoming Loons opponents after #MNUFC is thoroughly beaten in Nashville

I've understood neither timing nor player selection of the #MNUFC subs tonight. As outplayed (and out coached?) as the Loons have been in a good while

Charlotte FC tifo, March 7th 2026 📸 u/mattyc182 on Reddit WE HAVE FRIENDS EVERYWHERE

"The bricks and mortar, have all given way At first, they resisted, but then they began to sway"

They say MLS can’t compete with Europe’s elite but Miami has Inter’s name, Barcelona’s players, Real Madrid’s politics, PSG’s history and Man United’s dude in all those ads

What just happened in Dallas County is one of the most blatant voter suppression operations I've ever seen—and it happened in a *primary*. In March. Imagine November. I broke it down here: open.substack.com/pub/objectio...

Should have tagged you, @mnufc.com . Please listen to us.

#MNUFC fans getting a @andygreder.bsky.social double-header today ahead of the home opener! And appropriately, both tackle the community, ICE, and how we choose to respond.

Most likely folk in my network here have come across this, but if not, please take a moment ask MNDOT & electeds to pause the I-94 project so we can catch our breath/continue to protect our neighbors before we engage on rethinking giant public works projects: www.ourstreetsmn.org/2026/02/12/p...

after failed military incursion, us government responds with economic sanctions

"Former Loons striker Christian Ramirez was waived by L.A. Galaxy. The Loons could use a backup center forward behind Yeboah, but are not expected to pursue Ramirez, a source said Saturday." Bah. Humbug.

I just took a bit too much pleasure at DSC just getting embarrassed by Bouanga. #OnceALoon ??
