Damn! One in four Minnesotans will just disagree because that much agreement makes them uncomfortable

My main takeaway from tonight is that you need to be super hot to win a big race as a progressive

Trump shaggy posting on election day

Logging on to my government account to get the non Mamdani news only to find that twin cities bsky is also only Zoh-posting

Tfw agents get write access to your code base

Feel like the culture is sleeping on Work it out Wombats

Big Trouble in Little China and it’s not even close unless you include Patrick Swayze movies that you thought were Kurt Russell movies

Recorded music gives you no reference for how loud a live show will be

Comforting 30 minute unregulated supplement advertisements

Dog is coming out from under the bed, we are officially safe 55406

I was interested to see if I could get streetlit sunflowers in frame with lightning glow and I did

Guess I had the fridge open when the alert went off and that’s how I learned my fridge has an open door alarm that is a mysteriously quiet beep

God I love our meteorologists — seems like we are good here in S Minneapolis

The whole violent winds to creepy stillness is really unsettling here in the 06

Dog won’t come out from under the bed, I have no tornado strategy for this and also can only carry both kids into the basement

Matty needs to see a poll about whether having a spine is a popular position

Infrastructure envy

One thing about Trump is that he is actually an amazing grifter. He’s taken the Russians, the Saudis, Silicon Valley, taxpayers, etc. Dude will finesse anyone.

Someone found out today is a federal holiday

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

I do like how the vp had to get like the 10th aol instant messenger version of his username

A trans person would have known to check who was on the signal chat

wtf man

So anyway fuck scotus

Well it finally happened, I have run out of Murderbot stories

My bad, they have a satellite image to make shit up about now

I need y'all to understand what the NYT, Dem donors, and centrists are doing here. They're pushing the narrative that trans people went too far and we deserve what is happening to us. It's pure victim blaming and it's not done yet, there's a Confessore piece in the works with the same framing.

Bush had to get Powell to lie about a satellite image to the UN and bring the NYT and a whole army of propagandists to make the WMD excuse to invade Iraq. Trump is just like, nah they got em, trust me to justify whatever horrors they have planned. And well I guess that’s where we are at

Love that Ken Martin went from ranting at local progressives on twitter to managing to lose unions and the youth at the national level. Bang up job

I remember learning about WWI and thinking how it didn’t make sense and seemed so stupid. Just thinking about that today

Tehran is 380 square miles. It has a population of 10 million people. If you cannot imagine that then imagine evacuating New York population just 8.5 million. Imagine the logistics, the roads— pregnant women? Children? Elderly? This is just an announcement of a mass execution of innocents.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend” Full emails below

Absolute legend

Sen. Mike Lee's unfounded claims on social media about the slaying of a Minnesota lawmaker have angered his U.S. Senate colleague from the state.

There was a protest game called “A Force More Powerful” and I always loved that concept. This version is wild

I wrote about why I'm grateful for Melissa Hortman's work, and for her persistent refusal to give into the destructive right-wing games Democrats fall for time and again. badfaithtimes.com/melissa-hort...

All the bad news of the weekend is somehow even worse

Wait, a society that championed rugged individualism has a loneliness epidemic? No kidding? That's so weird!

I think people underrate the extent there is already a Joe Rogan for libs, and his name is Ezra Klein: - long-form interview format - performs open-mindedness while pushing ideology - embodies a particular ideal of masculinity - listening signals in-group membership

damn it

This fundraising campaign for the Hoffman family is verified - through Yvette's school, where she works as a para for in a kindergarten special ed classroom. We've donated. www.gofundme.com/f/support-yv...

Ok again it’s the conspiracy wolf in my spleen but isn’t posting shit like this how you end up with a mistrial?

In calling for Klobuchar to respond to Mike Lee’s gross tweets I got several responses about my callousness to her grieving which is fine but this sentiment baffling to me. The idea that all that matters in a leader is their position and that they can’t do anything else with their words. Deep rot

thank fuck, they caught him

Jfc Mike Lee is out here on gods own internet reveling in the assassination of Melissa Hortman
